Barrington Shores Campground

Barrington largely serves as a bedroom community for larger cities in the area like Dover, Manchester, and New Hampshire’s capital, Concord. With a population of several thousand residents though, it’s a town in its own right, with a dozen or more restaurants located along Highway 125 and several stores near its intersection with Highway 9. Visitors hoping to do some antiquing with their Barrington camper rental should head out towards the town of Northwood and Highway 202. A number of good shops can be found along this route, and they’re great for picking up unique souvenirs of your adventure when you book an RV in Strafford County, New Hampshire. Auto racing fans will love camping in this part of the state, as it’s so close to the New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon. It’s New England’s only NASCAR track and is considered one of the best in the country; at just over a mile in length, the races are fast-paced and the maneuvers considerably more aggressive than what would be found at bigger tracks down south. Additionally, spectators can get closer to the action, with just over 70,000 seats circling the oval track. On days when no races are taking place, visitors can book time in a race car and do a few laps of their own. History buffs should consider a day trip into Concord, which is well known for its Colonial history, but the town has also played a fairly important role in America’s space program. Alan Shepard, one of the first Americans to travel into space, and Christa McAuliffe, a schoolteacher aboard the ill-fated Challenger space shuttle, were from the Concord area. The McAuliffe-Shepard Space Center in Concord is dedicated to their contributions towards inspiring Americans and the world to further explore the cosmos. The center features an observatory, a planetarium, along with an indoor/outdoor aviation museum. It’s a favorite with school groups and must if you’re motorhome camping with children.
