What a beautiful campground! Lots of room between us and our neighbors, beautiful trees all around and great shade. The paved bike trail makes for a beautiful 5 mile, round trip, ride to the marina. The showers at the marina are very clean. Buy tokens at the marina store $2.50 each, which gives you a 5 minute shower. We have Verizon and had very good service. Stan and Sue are very friendly and informative camp hosts!We will definitely come back!

Wonderful campground. We felt warmly welcomed by the camp hosts. The sites are spaced well with drinkable water spigots every few sites. Bathrooms were very clean. The lake is a little walk from the campsite. Chairs are a good idea. We hope to stay here again in the future.

Very well kept campground with huge sites. The campground hosts are so friendly!! We love the long walk/bike pathliterally goes for miles.

@RobertAA93EC96 · Camped on Aug 23, 2024 at Campsite #153

The campground is nice. Easy to get into with a trailer. They definitely need more spaces with sewer. There is a dump station across the highway, but the price of it isn't included with your camp space.

The Campground is well kept. Bathroom is very clean. Camp Hosts are very friendly and they go around to check in with campers. Campsites are big. Where we were has a nice lake view. We enjoyed our 3 nights and well definitely come back again.

Our family very much enjoyed our stay at Merrill Campground. In fact, we extended our stay from 3 to 5 nights. It was very peaceful location!

@Wendyand26246A · Camped on Aug 7, 2024 at Campsite #140

Love this beautiful campground! Kids had a blast out in the water, the grounds were clean and it's quiet in the evenings. Camp hosts are lovely! Already planning our next time back.

@DiannaMA07B104 · Camped on Aug 2, 2024 at Campsite #171

Always an amazing experience!

@Katherine87398 · Camped on Jul 29, 2024 at Campsite #49

Love this camp ground! Large pads with great walking paths and hosts. Come here every year

@MegG641AB544DE · Camped on Jul 14, 2024 at Campsite #100

Hosts were good, trash was dumped, restrooms were clean, and we had a fabulous site. What's not to love?

@BrandiT4EE9F04 · Camped on Jul 11, 2024 at Campsite #103

Site 103 boasts full shade in its details. This is absolutely not true. We specifically chose this site for that reason as one of our campers has a sun sensitivity but from 11am until 4pm there is no shade at all. Bathrooms are decent, a little bug ridden but its a campground. Campground itself is a really nice peaceful place, better when the kiddos are back in school though *wink*.

@MelanieI3D59E3 · Camped on Jul 9, 2024 at Campsite #4

Great place to camp, had a great time and the camp hosts are the best! Great attitude and fun to talk with

@LanaT596B06AD0 · Camped on Jun 30, 2024 at Campsite #83

It was our first time there and we had a wonderful time. We had a site with the view of the lake. The camp hosts were were very nice and friendly. Its a beautiful campground with clean bathrooms. We will be back next year.

@MarlonK64BE6A6 · Camped on Jun 24, 2024 at Campsite #98

Campground is lovely and i have no complaints about that. The issue is that we pay for electric, water and deer but the electric is so bad we can't run our AC or electric waterheater..with 100 amps coming in your definitely ruin your AC. Something needs to get done about this issue..yes it was hot, about 95 degrees but with more bigger RV's in here they have to address it.

@LesterC30FA61D · Camped on Jun 24, 2024 at Campsite #96

It is a beautiful park and very relaxing. The camp host is so friendly and helps in any way needed. We really enjoy visiting this park.

@LouBDFEBE5A4DC · Camped on Jun 21, 2024 at Campsite #173

Great campground, great location. I liked the friendliness and proactiveness of the campground hosts/staff. I was pleased with the other campers following the general rules, but this is more a reflection of those individuals, not the USFS or their vendors. I guess my only complaint would be people who bring their dogs and do not control the barking - thank you for sharing your undisciplined dog with the other 200 of us!

@PatrickS396870 · Camped on Jun 17, 2024 at Campsite #151

Great sites as usual.Lots of old friends and new also.Large and separated sitesClean and well maintained facilities

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

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.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
