As a camper at Merrisach for over 30 years, I enjoyed the camping and the atmosphere. However, the playground needs updating. The merry go round was broken and the other equipment needs attention. Also, the dump station was closed which caused a major inconvenience for my family and the wear and tear on my camper. We had to pull the camper with a full black water tank over 30 miles to dump at Pendleton campsite. Spring Break is one of the most popular times for Merrisach Lake campsite and I would have expected them to work overtime to make sure their campers could dump when leaving the park. The number of campers were remarkably lower this year and I am certain the dump site being closed was one of the reasons why. This is a beautiful campsite that I would hate to be closed due to poor management.

The dump station was closed and we had to make a trip to another park to dump that was out of our way. There wasnt a park attendant on duty full time and rangers didnt patrol often. The playground had damage and children could not play safely on the merry go round.

Beautiful park along the lake, plenty of room between site and utilities worked great. Clean and well maintained bathroom ans showers

Beautiful campground full of wildlife and great views! Bathhouses and restrooms were super clean, and the dumpsters were accessible but not so close you could smell them. Bring some cards and a hotspot because you can't pick up any over the air stations and there is NOTHING within 30 minutes of this place! The closest WalMart is an hour away.

Camped during late hunting season, very few campers. The place was very well maintained, camping spots were very spacious. The bath houses were very clean.

Sites need more maintenance. Atleast clean the picnic table areas a few times a year they were filthy

Lovely campground

We enjoyed our time at Merrisach Lake. The campground and the area were beautiful. We did inadvertently book our stay on the opening weekend of duck season, so maybe look at the hunting seasons when booking. We went to see the Arkansas Post National Monument & the Arkansas Post State Park. We would highly recommend the National Monument to anyone staying at the campground.

The first night we arrived at the campsite the sites meter box caught on fire and burnt our power cord and we were not able to camp and did not get a refund
@JamesB7853748 · Camped on Nov 22, 2024 at Campsite #A1
Make sure you have a long water hose! This park off off the beaten path with spacious lots and a beautiful lake. We watched the sunsets and a few barges make their way to the locks. Since we were in the 3rd week of November the migrating waterfowl were fun to watch. The majority of campers were hunters and they were very courteous. We were in site A01 which is across from the boat ramp but we were not disturbed by any motor noise. Site A01 is in the shape of a "T" and we chose to park our 33 foot 5th wheel in the main trunk of the site and not negotiate the cross section. Our 24 foot power cord was long enough to reach the pedestal but I used about 80 feet of water hose to reach the spigot. I measured the distance from the spigot to the closest park of the paved site and it was about 40 feet, so come prepared if you choose this site. The 50 amp outlet worked fine the first 2 days but then went out and we switched to the 30 amp plug. We reported it to the host and the following morning at 10 AM it was fixed. Overall clean and quiet, perfect for us.

The covered table areas are always nasty never cleaned and the Grill/Firepits are always filled with plastic and trash. Everything at this park needs updating and they should bring in a pressure washing crew 4 times a year to keep all the sites worth paying for.

Peaceful campsite

All facilities were great and convenient.
@StephenC406899 · Camped on Oct 8, 2024 at Campsite #A6
Sites were large. Some sites the water hook up was fairly far away, my site I needed least 75 feet of hose, one site looked even further. It was nice and quiet there we enjoyed.
@WillisA5737272 · Camped on Oct 6, 2024 at Campsite #D9
The best site I've ever stayed at in a ACOE campground. Quite separate from the other sites (D-09). Loved the covered picnic tables. Unfortunately, lots of nasty "spikey" stickers that get stuck in my dogs coats. The site, however, was quite dirty, from inconsiderate campers. Staff needs to do a better job of cleaning sites in-between campers.
@EricM3719593 · Camped on Aug 2, 2024 at Campsite #D7
Nice remote camping area. Highly recommend!

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.
@Wondering - Oregon
Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
