Salisbury Beach State Reservation

Jonathan Mason

We love this place but... The prices for NH residents are steep making our visits there shorter than they should be. Why should people visiting from out of state pay 4x as much? It's not that way in coming to NH, all pay the same. The bathrooms were clean for us but, dated for sure. Showers are good may take a bit for hot water. And it's kind of a game to find the one that works best in the time you're there. The sites are sometimes clean sometimes a bit littered. I guess it gives you something to do once set up. Trash is easily disposed of at the entrance to the campground. The dumpsites are good. Access to the water and ocean front are great! Downtown Salisbury is needing refurbishment but they are at least trying. New Carousel and bathrooms! Pizza is good at either downtown place and Summer concerts are enjoyable. Also there is a great candy/ice-cream shop in downtown too. I don't go in the water much but be aware the riptide is strong and took a life when we were there back in the Summer, very sad. The campers around us have usually been very social and we as well. I do see people come back year after year. I am looking forward to return. I can only wish for cheaper prices to be for a longer visit.

Great place to visit the beach and to go camping! This is my second time camping in the summer here and I have loved it both times. Facilities are always clean, well managed grounds, quick walks to the beach and to the river. I do wish the campsites were bigger… at times I feel like other campers can look into my tent while walking by on the road. Does get nosy at times in the morning due to how close you are. Overall I highly recommend this campground and beach. Absolutely stunning views and a lot of things to do in the area!

This campground is lovely and well thought out- easy to navigate. The beach is stunning and right there- just a short bike ride, walk, or really short drive away. There is a fabulous playground. Nice sites with electric and water. 4 dump stations alleviate lines. Showers and bathrooms are spacious (although watch for the giant celing spiders). We would come back here again and again.

Salisbury Beach is a wonderful, clean, not so crowded, easy to access beach with several shops and food options. The boardwalk shops are somewhat dated, but there’s a nostalgic feeling to it. Public parking is available via pay per hour or a full day for $25. Restrooms are modern, clean, and well taken care of. The beach is super soft and sandy. No seaweed was present on the day we went but I’ve heard on occasion, seaweed is common. The water was clean and refreshing with a few seashells littered around to pick. No jellyfish on this day but about an hour after we left, it was heard that a shark was present. Lifeguards cleared the waters of swimmers for some time and then resumed with no incident. Our time spent at the beach was about 3 hours on a weekday entering the near empty parking lot at around 11am. It was a very stress free experience. Definitely worth the time.

Went camping for two days. Prices are reasonable especially if you're a Mass Resident. The bathrooms are clean, showers are free. There's a playground for the children to play on. There is an ocean side beach and a river side beach. There's a boat launch as well.

Wife and I went here for an "off season" visit. It was chilly, being a February day, but there were plenty of people out enjoying the day. With great views of the Merrimack River, and a tranquil view of the mighty Atlantic Ocean, you can't go wrong here. There was a playground, 2 I think, and bathrooms. Being the off season, the bathrooms were closed. There was plenty of bird watching going on. Not being as fanatical about birds as the watchers are, I couldn't tell you what all the fuss was about, but extremely cool to see nonetheless. There was a nice boardwalk in the dunes that was just fun to walk on. So what are you waiting for? Get out there and see for yourself!

Very easy to get to. Clean beach with lifeguards on duty. Bathrooms are available what makes it convenient. There are no places to take a shower or wash your feet before you leave. Years ago they had an outdoor faucet. They have some building renovation at the parking lot. Daily parking is $14 ( for a Massachusetts residents) you can pay at the kiosk inside. If you want to get season pass online I think it is $40 but might be $60. Plenty of parking places. There is a board walk to the water. The water gets warm by August. Family friendly place! It is a great place to visit

Salisbury Beach State park is one of Massachusetts hidden gems. We camp here as much as possible every season

No RESTROOMS how do you expect the public to come there and enjoy themselves for a few hours when there's not even know where to go to the bathroom.

Salisbury beach does not have a shower.
