Adam
It's a nice campground. Lots of kids and pets. More kids than Disneyland. They all seem to cry and scream in sync. Some people think the leash rule doesn't apply to their pets. We had a large dog run into our camp. Or two dogs were cool about it. Clean bathrooms and sink dump stations. This place is crowded. Not for us. Though it is super nice to have power and water.

Nice quiet large campground. No showers so be aware. Also, Google took us down the most ridiculous gravel road to get there AND we had a flat tire on the road. If you are coming from the west, do not follow google's directions. Do not take the crazy gravel!

We go here several times a year. The accommodations are great for different needs and desires. Top loop is full hook-ups. Next is electric and water. 3rd loop is water only. And the rest is dry. (Which sometimes is the most popular). Bathrooms are clean, there's a sewer dump across the street. Hiking/bike trails, and a big grassy area to play with your dogs. The marina is a few miles, whish has a small but great store, and pay showers.

Merrill campground was wonderful but the reason they are receiving 5 stars is due to the kindness and helpfulness of the camp host, Patty. When my RoadTrek's AC stopped working on one of the hottest days of the year, Patty went above and beyond by providing several recommendations on mobile mechanics that serve the Eagle Lake area. In addition to the wonderful camp hosts, the campground itself was well kept, spacious and clean bathrooms. The view to the lake was beautiful and very much enjoyed the walking/biking trails available.
