    RV parking spots
    Aitana B.

    A hidden gem for a campground. When we were looking for a last minute place to set up camp before it got dark, we took at a chance at this place. Very neat layout of the RV parking spots. I took a glance at the RV parking and there was electricity, fresh water and a dumping area. I was most amazed by the tent sites. The sites on the lower level near the lake, make it seem like you're in the middle of a forest. Very pretty! Had picnic tables, fire pits, level grounds for the tent. But the catch is don't expect nice bathrooms. They had a couple toilets and showers but they weren't the cleanest. They did have a note saying they are remodeling the bathrooms after Labor Day 09/2018 so hopefully it will be better. Overall if you need a place to rest your head for the night and don't mind a bathroom that needs a little more maintenance then I'd highly recommend this. Beautiful site.

    If you are a tent camper ask to reserve T-15 it's the best spot with a view of lake and very close to water. Very quiet, very clean!

    This is a great place to stay! We are here during the week and only a few other campers. The place is very clean. If you are a tent camper ask for T-15 it's the closest to the water and you have a great view of the lake. Its only a short walk down a trail to the water where you can sit and relax on the shore birthday go for a swim!The restrooms were clean. We felt very safe camping here and look forward to next time we can get a few days off to come back and stay!

    Merrill Lake Campground is a pretty awesome spot. Awesome enough that I honestly hemmed and hawed…read moreover whether to even add it to Yelp. Although my better Yelp humanitarian judgment has won out here, I still hope you read this, enjoy it, and camp somewhere else. Why? This little campground only has about 9 sites. It's free but you need a discovery pass. There is a camp host and there are surprisingly clean pit toilets on-site, but no potable water. The sites fill up fast in the summer time, but have a 3-day limit that's enforced by the friendly but vigilant camp host. I don't want it to fill up even faster now that I'm sharing this, since I do plan to hit this spot at least one more time before summer is over. There are no reservations (first-come, first-served) and the campsites are designed to work for larger groups - some of them could easily fit 7-10 tents. Each site is spaced decently well away from the others, and offers a picnic table, fire ring and places to pitch. The sites don't really offer views of the lake, they're set back in the trees, but there's plenty of shade Not too dusty, but some sites are heavy with gravel. While it's car camping, you don't drive right in to your site but park in a common lot, then walk in (the farthest you'll have to walk is about 50 yards). So no car noise up close to your site. This little campground sits just by Merrill Lake, a nice smaller lake that does not (thankfully) allow motorized boats and fishing is restricted to fly only, catch + release. For these reasons the water is calmer, cleaner, and dotted with fly fishermen and specific times of the day. At the mid-July mark the lake was warm and clear... perfect for swimming and canoeing. There are some excellent trout holes around the edges of the lake, however I'm not a fly fisherman and don't believe in torturing anything I'm not able to then eat (so catch + release is not for me). However I can see how this would be an attractive spot for a fly fisherman. This campsite is a great place to get away from PDX. Only about 1h 35m in no traffic, and the drive (especially if you come up the 503) is a nice one. Very pastoral, windy road. Get out of your house this summer and sleep under the stars. Just do it at some other campsite since this one is mine.

    We stayed for two nights-three days last weekend for my niece's birthday. We usually stay at a…read morecampsite at Lake Berryessa in California, but most of my family now lives in Vancouver so we opted for somewhere near there. Plus, the lakes in California don't even amount to the lakes in Washington/Oregon. My parents went to Merrill Lake Campground on Thursday to secure us a spot which was first come first serve. They managed to get a campsite (#4) that had a direct path to the lake (not the day use where most of the guests would walk to)! It was really big, the only downside was the hill which isn't ideal with little kiddos. Also, that we couldn't have a campfire due to Washington's high alert for fires. It just wasn't the same. You do need a discovery pass which we got at a store that was twelve minutes from the campsite- Lakeside Deli. It was $11 for a day use. The scenery was amazing. It wasn't hot at all where the campsite was. It was surrounded by trees. The water was so clear and clean. The weather was perfect once we made it out of the campsite, through the trail, and to shore. Oh god, and the drive. The drive up the mountain was the scariest I've ever seen. It was beautiful, but so scary. It was a great stay (for free at that!). I recommend this lake!

    This is a beautiful park and campground. I have been going here yearly for the past four years…read more There are lots to explore. Morton, WA is only about a ten minute drive and has a "Loggers weekend" in August. They have a parade, a chance to see and learn about the mill, among other events.

    I was so excited about this place. This was my first full hook ups with our TT. We drove through…read moreand then when we found our spot we realized that we were not going to have much privacy. Well, we were not too worried since the site next to us had no campers (July 2) and the one on the other side stayed in their TT. ... THEN the 3rd arrived. UGH! The quiet people left in the morning and were replaced by two families and the other side had a good size group. They were overall quiet but the double, if not triple family site decided to make this their grand central. They had friends from different sites visit and stay. Midnight came and went and they were still loud but I thought, well, at least the music stopped. Kind of wish the music would turn back on because they got louder and louder. 3:45 AM and they were LOUD! I didn't want to start trouble so put my DVD player on. What would have helped if knowing that 10PM or 11PM was quiet hour, why wouldn't the host drive around at midnight to check on the noise level? This was what upset me. Let me tell you that the place was nice and I'm learning that when you camp with hookups they are closer together. Okay, that would be fine, but even more reason for the host to keep an eye on the party people. The place itself is clean and neat. Don't plan on launching your boat from here (or kayak) but there is a place just 2 minutes from here where you can. That's where we went in. The lake is nice, too. --- Let me take that back, if you are brave and more experienced than me, you may be able to launch kayak. I need a boat ramp or beach. ;) The place would have seriously gotten a 5 star if not for the lack of consideration I felt that the hosts had by not checking the spots after quiet hours. BTW, yes, I know it was a holiday weekend, but come on! 3AM!!!!???!!! FYI: I would recommend this on a quieter weekend or weekday.

There were loud parties which made going to sleep difficult. No one stopped them. We were able to kayak. Granted, you have to go down a steep hill then carry the kayak up that steep hill. That part was not fun. I will need to return so that I can give it a second chance. At least the view was nice.

    We spent 3 nights here. Always before going to a new campground, I look at the reviews. It has been…read morea long time since there was a review, so I had to keep an open mind. First off, there wasn't anyone to greet us. Our information was tacked on a board. Office says it's closed but "open" hours are 9-5 and if we have any question refer to the number posted. Our site was a bit snug, but the view of the lake was nice. You are pretty close to the sites next to you, but nothing out of the normal when you camp at a resort. There was trash left behind at the site. The indoor pool they have advertised is closed. Other campers told us it was because the health department shut it down for repairs. There wasn't any staff around to confirm this, but it was closed the three days we were there. It is a trek down a hill to get to the SMALL portion of beach the resort has to offer, but lake is always nice when the weather is! It says no motorized vehicle down the hill but people ignored it and drove their go carts down. (I was kinda jealous of that because of the walk back to camp if you forgot something). If you wanted to rent a boat, you had to call the number, but someone saw us looking at that information about it and said a cheaper priced boat rental is down the road. We didn't look any further because we really didn't need a boat. For the price we paid and what we got out of it, I know better resorts near by that would work.

    Mayfield Lake Park Review…read more We absolutely love Mayfield Lake Park and spend many weekends here during the summer camping in our little tent and chasing muskies. The staff is always friendly, professional, and hardworking, and they truly go above and beyond to make every visit enjoyable. The park is always spotless -- from the campsites to the bathrooms and park areas -- and you can tell the staff takes pride in keeping it that way. On this trip, we came across an injured feral cat near our site. Skyler responded immediately and professionally, setting a trap to help the cat. My son was able to safely get the cat into the cage, and the staff took it to an animal sanctuary. We were so impressed by how quickly and compassionately they handled the situation. Another example of their dedication happened when we accidentally left soap in the shower the night before. Ben was quick to check if it had been found (unfortunately, someone had walked off with my husband's men's Dove soap), but we appreciated his effort and quick response. We drive an hour and a half from our home to spend time at this beautiful lake, and it's always worth the trip. The staff truly deserve recognition for their dedication, hard work, and kindness. Mayfield Lake Park will always be one of our favorite places to relax, fish, and enjoy nature.
