Merrisach Lake Park Campground

This is a very nice COE in the middle of nowhere. It is not near any major highways, so you are taking some state routes to get there. But it's very doable. DO provision before you arrive, the nearest grocery store is a 30 minute drive away. There is nothing (shopping, restaurants) in the immediate area.

Price paid is with the Interagency Senior Pass.

However, once you arrive, it's a great campground. The sites are large and long. There are river views everywhere. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Verizon gave 2 bars of usable 4G. We were able to stream when we wanted to. ATT was also OK, but not quite as good. OTA television produced NBC and CBS and some of the lesser channels.

We were here in mid January and the place was empty. Did I mention peaceful?

This is a USACE campground with water access for fishing only. Due to alligators in the lake, they encourage no swimming or wading. That said, the campground has been upgraded to 30A/50A service, with water hydrants accessible from many campsites. We visited the Arkansas Post National Memorial and nearby State Park, both have historical connections to the Revolutionary and Civil Wars.
There are also recently updates to the shower facilities in all loops except E loop, with 4 large & private restroom/showers in each of them.
