About
A Massachusetts DCR campground in Salisbury, at the mouth of the Merrimack River on the Atlantic coast, with 449 individually mapped campsites live on ReserveAmerica's own per-site facility map (48 RV/trailer electric, 357 electric, 9 popup/tent, 35 tent-only) - the largest single campground in Massachusetts. 2 separate group camping site/area(s) are also bookable here, separate from the individual/family campsites counted above. The facility's own live per-site map also plots one or more day-use-only shelter/picnic/meeting-room markers alongside the real campsites; those are excluded from total_sites here as they are not campsites. Reservable through the Massachusetts DCR's own ReserveAmerica/Aspira contract (contractCode=MA), hosted directly at reserveamerica.com.
Fees
Campsite Fees at Salisbury Beach State Reservation $22 for MA resident / $70 non-resident; PLUS $4 water and $6 electric hookups at all sites; PLUS $3 surcharge to benefit the Salisbury Beach Trust Fund. There is a $4.50 non-refundable transaction charge for each reservation made. (reserveamerica.com, live per-facility fee notice)
