The first night we arrived at the campsite the site’s meter box caught on fire and burnt our power cord and we were not able to camp and did not get a refund

We enjoyed our time at Merrisach Lake. The campground and the area were beautiful. We did inadvertently book our stay on the opening weekend of duck season, so maybe look at the hunting seasons when booking. We went to see the Arkansas Post National Monument & the Arkansas Post State Park. We would highly recommend the National Monument to anyone staying at the campground.

Make sure you have a long water hose! This park off off the beaten path with spacious lots and a beautiful lake. We watched the sunsets and a few barges make their way to the locks. Since we were in the 3rd week of November the migrating waterfowl were fun to watch. The majority of campers were hunters and they were very courteous. We were in site A01 which is across from the boat ramp but we were not disturbed by any motor noise. Site A01 is in the shape of a "T" and we chose to park our 33 foot 5th wheel in the main trunk of the site and not negotiate the cross section. Our 24 foot power cord was long enough to reach the pedestal but I used about 80 feet of water hose to reach the spigot. I measured the distance from the spigot to the closest park of the paved site and it was about 40 feet, so come prepared if you choose this site. The 50 amp outlet worked fine the first 2 days but then went out and we switched to the 30 amp plug. We reported it to the host and the following morning at 10 AM it was fixed. Overall clean and quiet, perfect for us.

The covered table areas are always nasty never cleaned and the Grill/Firepits are always filled with plastic and trash. Everything at this park needs updating and they should bring in a pressure washing crew 4 times a year to keep all the sites worth paying for.
