Living in Southern New Hampshire really is a true delight!
I love the location...30 minutes to ocean beaches an hour or so north and I'm in the mountains.
One place near home that we love to visit is in the state of Massachusetts, a very popular ocean side state park and campground called Salisbury Beach Reservation.
A few days at the beach always has a way of recharging me…making me realize just how lucky I am that I can come here. We're lucky because while camping at the beach, we can work and still enjoy all the sights and sounds of beach side living.
The Atlantic Ocean, the smell of salt in the air, the gorgeous wild beach roses, cooking outdoors, and sitting under the awning…it’s all so relaxing.
We booked this camping trip last Thursday and were lucky to get a spot for the very next morning, Friday, which is almost unheard of… a weekend at this very popular state park booked at the last minute! Wow, usually it’s at least six months to the day in advance to get a reservation.
Salisbury Beach State campground books up fast because it has a much desired ocean and river front location. And the price is more than right...$22.00 a night for non-residents!
The campground sits right at the mouth of the mighty and very treacherous Merrimac River where it meets the mighty Atlantic Ocean. Some camp sites run along the road facing the river which offer fantastic ocean and river views, others are further back. But worst case it might be a 5 minute walk to the beach.
You can imagine the show that this location puts on…due in part to its incredible tides and the standing waves that they produce.
Sitting at the riverside beach is very entertaining. Plus my favorite shows are the sunsets and full moon risings!
Fantastic sunsets can be found on one side of the park and unbelievable full moon rising on the other side. If you’re camping during a full moon it is a sight to see and one not soon forgotten. All this is short 30 minute ride from Hampstead and makes living in Southern New Hampshire most enjoyable.
