Oh boy. We stayed here a few years ago and had a poor experience. We decided to give it another try because everyone deserves a second chance. Some of the emails I received ahead of checking in were confusing: the rules say no golf carts but the check-in email talked about bringing golf carts. I called and found that you can only bring a cart if you are seasonal with them. The lady that I spoke with was pleasant. Checking in was an easy process. The staff in the office were joking with me and I was in and out quickly as there was no line. I made my way around the campground and found it difficult to navigate. The roads were not clearly marked with signs. I arrived at my campsite and was dismayed by what I saw. The site was overgrown and had poison ivy around it on one side. I had to break out a machete to get to the water hookup because of the weeds. The site size was quite nice though. The amenities at this campground are plentiful but not all are included with your camping fees. For example, the hayride is an extra $2 per person. If this were a budget level campground, I could understand the extra fees but this place is more expensive than other similar campgrounds. The rules at the pool are strictly enforced but not clearly posted anywhere and seemed all over the place. For example, belly flops are not permitted but I can throw my kid in the air. Overall it seems like there is a class system between seasonals and transients. Seasonal campers bring their golf carts and seem to be allowed to have dogs off leash. The campground setting is amazing. Our takeaway last time is the same as this visit: with new ownership this could be an amazing spot.

Merry Meadows is our favorite place to "get away". Quite when you want and all kinds of activities if you are into that.
