Market Overview
Campton sits at Exit 28 of I-93 and bills itself as the gateway to the White Mountains, with a population of 3,343. The performance figures in this profile describe the White Mountains region of New Hampshire STR market, a regional series rather than a Campton only measurement. In September 2026 the White Mountains region STR market averaged an ADR of $301, occupancy of 41.4% and monthly revenue of $3,495 per listing. Entire place listings averaged $305 per night. Compared with September 2025, occupancy rose 8.0%, ADR rose 5.1% and revenue rose 12.7%. The year to date picture agrees: the first nine months of 2026 averaged 45.2% occupancy, an ADR of $311 and $3,880 in monthly revenue, against 44.4%, $301 and $3,633 for full year 2025. Demand here is driven by outdoor recreation. Visitors head to Waterville Valley Resort, Loon Mountain and Cannon Mountain for skiing and snowboarding, then return for summer hiking, mountain biking, tubing on the Pemigewasset and Mad Rivers, and fall foliage. White Mountain National Forest surrounds the town and draws roughly 6 million visitors a year region wide, with about 70 million people living within a day’s drive and Boston roughly 2 hours south. That gives the market year round demand rather than a single peak. Bedroom, booking channel and listing type counts, along with top operator names, are tracked at a shared regional level rather than uniquely for Campton, so this profile omits them. Treat the numbers as a regional benchmark, because individual Campton listings will vary with amenities and distance to the ski areas. Data runs through September 2026, and the typical home value in Campton is $415,754 as of the September 30, 2026 housing snapshot.

Short-Term Rental Regulations
Short term rentals are permitted in Campton, and enforcement severity is rated low. Short term rentals are regulated through the town’s zoning ordinance under RSA 674:16, administered by the Planning Board and Selectmen’s Office. Hosts must secure a zoning permit before operating, and the property is reviewed for safety code and zoning compliance. There is no dedicated STR registration program at the town level, and the published ordinance index does not list a dedicated short term rental ordinance. A permit fee and renewal period are not published. Separately, operators need a State Meals and Rentals tax license from the New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration and must collect the 8.5% occupancy tax on stays shorter than 185 days. There is no published cap on nights per year, no owner occupancy requirement and no primary residence requirement. Enforcement is complaint driven through the Selectmen’s Office. In March 2024 the town updated its zoning to allow mixed uses in the Commercial District, but that change did not add an STR chapter. The New Hampshire Supreme Court issued rulings in 2024 reshaping municipal STR zoning authority, and nearby towns have since rolled out STR specific permitting, including Ossipee effective June 4, 2024 and Sunapee, which held public hearings. Campton operators should expect possible future tightening and confirm current requirements with the Selectmen’s Office before buying or listing.
Market Comparison
The White Mountains region STR market shows a pronounced seasonal mix. September 2026 occupancy was 41.4% at a $301 ADR. The highest monthly occupancy was 66.8% in August, followed by July at 63.5% and February at 57.3%, while the weakest seasonal ADR was $223 in April. The 2020 and 2021 years ran 55.6% and 56.2% occupancy, but annual occupancy has since eased to 44.4% in 2025 while ADR climbed from $271 in 2021 to $301. The latest year to date reading of 45.2% occupancy and a $311 ADR shows occupancy recovering modestly. For investors, the pattern points to a destination market where location, amenities and calendar management matter more than chasing year round volume. The regional figures should be read as a benchmark, since individual Campton listings will vary.
