This recreation area is part of Bayou Bodcau Reservoir. Tom Merrill Recreation Area has 20 campsites, all of which have electric hookups. Some campsites are closer to the forest, while some are more open within the park. All sites are within walking distance of the water. Amenities at this recreation area include flush toilets, showers, playground, outdoor exercise equipment, dump station, a game cleaning station, disc golf course, and bike trail. The outlet channel, where Bodcau Reservoir drains into the Bodcau Creek, is an excellent place for fishing.

Great morning for a short hike thru the woods. Clean, maintained facilities.
Nice facilities,peaceful,good family camp sites,nice hiking and mountain bike trails...bring mosquito spray though it's been very wet.
My family and I camp here every year. We love this campground, the host and the park rangers are very friendly and helpful.
This use to be my favorite place to camp we even stayed 14days two separate times in a tent but they have this one ranger he likes to harass us each time we are there kinda has a attitude so I know he isnt just making conversation. asking how long will we be there this time was kinda cocky with that question why the kids aren't in school I said they are homeschool and plus at that time it was spring break this just happened. so then he turns to my kids saying why dont yall put your heads together and think and tell me when you will graduate. I'll come back tommrow and you better have a answer for me. I thought it was disrespectful and none of his business he also told me not to eat to much. I was eating when he walked up im a plus size girl so that was disrespectful. Probably will be finding another place to camp from now on.
Very beautiful scenery, great hiking trails, friendly hosts, RV spots and the campground itself is small, but clean and well kept. Nice game cleaning facilities. Dog friendly.
