WirelessTrips.com Campground Review: Beach Rose RV Park - Salisbury, Massachusetts
Cell Phone Coverage: Yes
Wi-Fi: Yes
This is a pretty average park and probably not one we’d go back to. Nothing specifically wrong - it is clean and safe - but nothing particularly spectacular about it either.
We stayed on a Friday night and it was packed (see photo below). The sites were a little too close together for our liking.
The location, as advertised, is the “closest” private park to the Atlantic, but the ocean is still a good drive away. You certainly can’t walk it, or even bike it, without risking your life with the highway traffic. And the drive ends in Salisbury, which is best described as one of the more “colorful” beach towns in Massachusetts. Not particularly bad, but just be prepared for sudden loud noises, various fried food choices, and lots tube tops.
On the upside, the pool at Beach Rose RV Park is pretty nice. The pads were level and the hook-ups top-notch.
And the WiFi was excellent. They have two access points - one in the front and one in the back - making for good park coverage. I did encounter one minor technical glitch having nothing to do the with park, but instead with the way MacIntosh computers talk to certain access points. I call it the dollar sign ($) solution, and I elaborate on it here. If you are on a Mac and try to connect to the access point in the back of the park, you’ll encounter it.
In our opinion, Beach Rose RV Park is a stopping-off point, not a destination.
Two-and-a-half out of five marshmallows.

I lived about 20 miles from Salisbury Beach when I was a kid back in the 30s and 40s. It was a popular spot at the time. At one point in time, I lived only 3 blocks from the ocean. That was when I lived in Wollaston. When we lived in Quincy, MA, the beach at Hough’s Neck was 50 yards from our back door.
Of all the beaches I swam at in MA, none of them can compare with the beautiful, white aandy beaches along the gulf coast at places like Destin, Gulf Shores and Orange beach. They are spectacular.
I have not camped out once, since my days on the front lines. I did enough “camping out” then to last me a lifetime!
I hope your trip will be one of the best you’ve ever had.
