We had a wonder week at Merrisach Park. The grounds were mowed and well kept. The restrooms were clean and kept up very well. The gate attendant was very nice and very helpful.

We stayed on sites B3, B4, & B5 as a family with children included. The children enjoyed the playground so much that all us adults had to do was keep an eye on them from our chairs! So enjoyable for Men, women and children!!!!! Thank you so much for a fun time for us all!!!

As always, the people who manage and look after this park were friendly and efficient. The park is in excellent condition and we enjoyed our stay there. We caught just the right amount of fish to have a fish fry every night we were there, and we laughed at the squirrels that love chasing down bits of crackers. I fully recommend this park to anyone who loves a few days with nature, and still to be able to have electricity and water!
