Great place to go camping but it focuses more on RVs and slightly disregards tent guests. There are 2 bathrooms on site, so far from where we were camping. And the closest one was shut down when we were there. So we had to walk 15 minutes to get to the bathroom to find out only half of the stalls were open (out of order). There was a line waiting to use the bathroom. So it was hard, in that regard, with a kid. But plenty of RV spots throughout the site. The bounce house was also only open for 2 hours each day which we didn't know about until we walked up to see them locking it up. We were told we should've known from the schedule we got, but we didn't receive a schedule. For the price of each night, I would think the amenities would be available longer than they were.
Overall, we would do it again, being more aware of the bathroom situation and having a schedule. Our site was very secluded and slightly private, which was nice. But if we wanted to be near the bathrooms, we would lose all privacy since there was no tree line in that area. It was a good first camping experience with our kid. Very quiet. Just wish there were more bathrooms available. I'm not sure I understand why there aren't. So confused about that.
Will not camp here anymore. They are very greedy. No refunds, increased their prices, men’s showers need doors and curtains, plus right size curtains. Price should include at least 4 adults and not 2. New system for gate cards, they did not work at all. For the price, they Should have cable tv.,also, you cannot get a good signal.
We stayed at the end of the season and all amenities were shut down. Our spot was large and level with a small deck and picnic table. We were across from a bath house that looked abandoned and from the state of the facilities, it had been abandoned for awhile (nasty or broken toilets, unclean showers, spider webs). There were several rvs set up for long term and some possibly in storage. We only saw a few people roaming around. There was a nice dog lot but oddly no trash can.
We’ve been camping at Merry Meadows for 2 seasons now, multiple times throughout the seasons as well. We have a camper and appreciate all of the different types of spots available- close to the pool/playground, more secluded, wooded/shaded, pull-thru, buddy, etc. We love coming in the summer use the pool and splash pad. We also enjoy the other activities/events offered. We just did a cowboy hayride over Labor Day weekend and it was such a great time! It was fun to learn about the history of the campground as well before the hayride. Our kids really enjoy the bounce slides and jumping pillow, although I do wish they were opened throughout the weekend days, rather than just for 2 hours on Saturdays. We also love coming in October weekends to enjoy the Halloween activities- Spook Walk and trick-or-treating are big hits! We will continue to visit Merry Meadows Campground!
Me, my husband and my 1 year old son absolutely love this campground!! Awesome campsite for the summer with nice shade and an amazing pool with awesome life guards. They have so many fun events scheduled every weekend. The cowboy hayride was the highlight of our trip, starting with fun music and ending with a "train robbing" including water guns to shoot! It was also so interesting learning about all the history of the land before the ride . They have great activities for kids and adults such as mini golf, rc track, live music, arcade and so much more. We always have a wonderful time. 100% recommend!!
