We’ve been camping 20+ years and have never had an experience like we had at this campground. If you read my review and think to yourself that it can’t be ‘that’ bad, then please take the time to read through many of the other comments. You will see a common theme and many negative remarks. One of the reviewers mentioned that those campers who break the rules are the ones that write negative reviews. Not true. No 'rules' were broken. First, they tell you nothing as to the cost of the amenities until you receive your confirmation email two days prior to your visit. And they tell you to bring cash. They discourage credit cards. Their method of accepting credit cards is to hand write your credit card number onto the old credit card forms with the carbon copy (the ones that used to imprint your credit card.) Arrived on a Friday and couldn’t wait to take the grandkids to the pool on Friday night. No splash pad. What they don’t tell you is the splash pad is only available on weekends (Sat-Sun) and they control the hours that it’s open. Same with bouncy house. $8 to jump around per child and then it’s only open 1 or 2 days a week for only 2 hours. Don’t go to this campground with children and expect to have the amenities during the week. As for the bounce pad and inflatable slide – DIRTY. Arcade was open with no one in it. Not air conditioned and too hot to use. Many rules. They hand you the rules at check-in and then they want an employee to go over them with you to make sure you know all of their rules. They also tell you to fill up your water tank in the ‘event of a power outage.’ We had to use the water in our tanks because their water sputtered, full of air, by mid-weekend. But they won’t tell you that is why they want you to fill up your tank. It had nothing to do with power outage. Went to use the restrooms nearest our camper on Monday morning and they were locked. It was 8:45 am and the bathroom door on the outside of the building was locked. Really? Many gate rules even though the gate wasn’t working. Stressed the gate rules over and over. And poison ivy – haven’t seen so much in a very long time. I realize you are outside and camping among the trees, but that much poison ivy? Staff is indifferent. There is no warm greeting. If you walk into the office, they take their good old time looking up to acknowledge you. It’s like they take pleasure in seeing how miserable they can make their guests. When I inquired about the bounce area’s hours and said I was disappointed it would only be open one day that entire week, I was told that they encourage parents to entertain their own children while camping. Why did I come to a campground with amenities? To not use them? They have many permanent or seasonal campers who speed through the campground. I wonder why there isn’t a ‘rule’ for them to slow down. We noticed it every time we were out, how fast they drive. So even though this is the nearest campground to our grandchildren, nope, nada, not going back. I left there irritated and upset that this campground could bring my mood down so much. And you’ll have to call the office if you want to find out what to do with your garbage. For all the information they give you, that is acutely missing. We were surprised to be able to secure a FHU campsite for a weekend at the last minute. Not surprised now. Many open sites were available that weekend. I wish that we would have read the reviews before booking.

As previously stated, great campground however most activities are only for the weekend. I worked from my RV during the week and had a mostly good WiFi connection. The pace is mostly deserted during the week and completely full on the weekend. It appears the also schedule events for the weekend. They had a truck and tractor show coming in on the Saturday we left. V3 was a great pull through spot with room. Lots of secluded sites among the trees. Verizon was 2-3 bars most of the time.

The place is beautiful. They advertise all of their activities, none of which are ever open, including the pool. Owners are crazy, we got yelled at by the only staff member we could find (no one was ever really around, office was always closed, no one to contact) because we asked why the pool was closed because we interrupted her while working. Then she followed us back to our campsite and continued to scream at us in front of our kids, so naturally we told her how we felt about the situation and they kicked us out. The campers behind us said they kick people out all the time and that you have to walk on eggshells there and kiss their a$$ just to be able to stay there in peace. They also said they’ve been there for a few months and everyone they’ve met said the owners/staff are crazy and rude. Video of the conversation is on YouTube, check it out.

We stayed here because the location was close to an event. No online reservations so you are talking to someone to make reservations. Not certain where they found the woman who runs the front desk, most likely family as no one would have someone so rude and crude dealing with the public. The park was no where near capacity on a weekend, yet this woman acted like she was doing an interview for joining a country club. There are rules, then there are Merry Meadow's rules. She brought up several times about "losing" power and there is a sign that strongly suggests that you put water into your tank in the event of power loss. The sights are nothing special and obviously could use some maintenance and upgrading. We paid for 50 amp service, although the woman questioned why I would need 50 amp service with my unit. The real concern came when we got hooked up and our voltage gauge showed the power available was barely 110 volts, forcing me to use the propane to heat our water, with 50 amp service? It is obviously a family with kids campground, with the only attraction being the swimming pool, as the location is close to nothing of interest. We would only stay here again out of necessity, as it was not that appealing, not friendly. We hate spending our money someplace that it is not appreciated

Not the most pet friendly as we were asked multiple times if our dog was “vicious” but the office was very friendly and the view from our site was amazing. Not a lot to do in the area (within 20 min drive range)in the winter though it looks like it would be fun in the warmer months with pools and other outdoor activities.

Not super pet friendly

This campground is the most greedy, insensitive people I have ever dealt with. Last year (2017), they would not allow my 3 and 5-year-olds to wear any sort of floatation device around the pool area. They told me that their reasoning behind this policy is that parents who like to ensure the safety of their children are just expecting the devices to act as a babysitter. - NOT - Some of us responsible parents think of it as a second proof of protection. I recently (May 2018) had a second very insensitive ordeal and have decided that I will never come back to this campground. It's so very unfortunate. I feel very sorry for the owners who are willing to lose not just one long-time frequent customer, but they will also lose a lifetime of my extended family's business. We will take our business elsewhere. Would really like to see this under new ownership, has great potential.
