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.
