No pride of ownership

Trash everywhere and staff drives right by it. Grass needs mowing fire pits need to be cleaned of ash and trash. Brand new bathrooms and the family rooms are out of order already. Dump station has no hose hookup to rinse tanks. Unfriendly people

Worth the trip

It is a 150 mile roundtrip for me from Central Massachusetts and I so wish it were closer. Sandy beach without rocks or shells makes it great to bodysurf when there are waves. The beach is groomed every morning and clean (kept much nicer than...More

Great camping location

This is our second time coming here and it’s a great place to camp, bike and enjoy the ocean! The campsites are not shady but are very clean. The restrooms are kept clean by host campers and the beach is just a short walk away!

Best kept secret

Clean, managed and maintained beautiful natural beach. Soft sand and boardwalks over protected dunes. Clean bathrooms and shower facilities. Note: dogs not allowed on ocean beach but are allowed all year on river side beach attached to ocean beach.

Fun with family at the Reservation

$20 to park here is quite expensive, Hampton Beach State Park is $15. But the water temps were hovering just below 70 on this hot July day and we enjoyed the waves and our family time. Boys enjoy the jetty area especially.

GREAT PLACE

Beautiful Beach. Especially at low tide when sand is hard and ez to walk on. Sketchy crowd. Outdoor showers & changing area. Rest rooms. Lots of parking.
