Rusnik Campground

Hi, I've been camping my entire life and have never been to a place like this. I honestly, don't even know where to begin. I should of realized when it was the only place with vacancy, but I didn't. Upon arriving, it was empty, my car alarm went off by mistake, the owner walked over asking if I had nothing better to do as if I did it on purpose. This was a bad sign from that point on he never left me alone and I'm a 60 year old female by myself with two young children. He was scary looking, lived in the trailer across the way, and was told he watches every move everyone makes literally! He sold us wet wood and wouldn't take it back so we had to go out and buy new wood. By the time we got back to cook food over the fire he yelled saying the fire was too big, as if it was intentional and it was only for one minute, he harassed me about it then told me to just put it out so I had to tell the kids they couldn't have dinner. One of the neighbors came by, and said we'd be better off leaving, as they were as he was knocking on their trailer windows looking inside told them it was quiet time yet they were inside not making any noise. Despite we did what he said and put the fire out it but it re-lit so he came back and with another guy, just as scary & sketchy looking as him. The young boy, spoke up, out of frustration seeing me being harassed all day long, and says leave us alone. Despite we hadn't done anything wrong, he said that's it pack up & leave so at midnight we packed up and drive home which was a four hour drive.

What kind of person or place would do this to innocent people. We didn't bother anyone, we never did anything wrong, I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone even if it was free.

Camping is supposed to be enjoyable, and relaxing, they should be shut down. Even the bathrooms were filthy, it looked like they hadn't been cleaned in years and were full of spiders and cob webs it was awful. And lastly, we were told to leave without a valid reason so they should of given us our money back so we could of stayed somewhere else.

Sometimes the website looks nicer than it really is...this was the case here for me. The actual campground is nicely wooded and the sites are pretty. There are lots of seasonal campers here and the facility is pretty run down. I found a cigarette butt and used tampon in the showers. The showers are coin operated and overall pretty gross (see last sentence). Don’t think they clean them very often. The surrounding area was underwhelming and Salisbury beach was equally disappointing. Kinda felt like a dirty jersey shore. Overall, I definitely didn’t feel like it was a $45 a night value and was glad we only had to stay a week. The silver lining? Newburyport in near by and its FREAKIN FABULOUS! Wished we would have found it sooner!

Rusnik campground is mostly a seasonal campground and they have two distinct areas, one for in-out campers and one for seasonal. The in-out camping sites are very nice overlooking a large well tended field and with plenty of privacy between adjacent sites.

I would request a site on the I (Letter I) Road. These are the best sites.

Water and Electric. Not sewer, but a good dump station.
