Merchants Millpond State Park is located in Gates County. The park was created in 1973. The park is…read more3250 acres. The Visitor's Center has restrooms, a small gift shop and picnic tables outside. The area was originally home to gristmills and a sawmill, and a farm supply store, where the trading happened. When the mills closed around World War II, the land was sold to developers. The land was donated to the state and became the park. The pond has a unique ecosystem. Some artifacts from the old mill are displayed in the visitor center. The exhibits cover the history of the area and the wildlife there. Who knew that alligators are this far north? You will also find beavers, otters, bobcats, birds and fish.

This started at check in when the gentlemen at the desk did an outstanding job of explaining all the amenities and policies. There was a variety of ages and other demographics so it really was a family friendly experience for everyone. It wasn't too crowded at any point in our visit and the pools and hot tub were clean and nice. The room wasn't fancy but had everything we needed and was very close to the community building. They also have a game room and a library in case you forgot pool side reading. We were disappointed the main restaurant was closed while we were there but "The Breeze" snack bar had sandwiches and burgers at very good prices. We hope to make it back some time. A very relaxing trip and we had very little laundry when we got home.

It's a small family run camp and while it's no frills or fancy it does have full hookups and drive thru sites.

Built in the 70's, a true mom and pop management team is there to guide you in and come by on the regular to empty your provided trash can... No WiFi or cable but we had cell service for a hot spot and our WINEGARD (Dish) got excellent reception for TV... Fire pits are provided, just stone piled in a circle but it works... Very quiet and just off of I95 on some back roads... Mostly TT 5th wheels but a Class A pulled in while we were here... The electric and water are behind you while the sewer is ahead of you so depends on what lengths you brought to make sure you can reach them... There is a grassy area in the center to walk your puppies, don't forget your baggies to pick up after them... An overall very nice place to rest or stay a bit...

There was a tiny bathhouse with 2 stalls and 1 single person outdoor shower. Camp host was super friendly, the park was very clean. This is a no frills camp ground, if your looking for. KOA this isn't it. But if your looking for a older but well maintained, clean campground, with amazing views that is a short drive to activities then this May be the spot for you. Quiet hour is at 10pm and the campground did quiet down. At some point before quiet hour there was people singing on a Karaoke machine but it was done before quiet hour. I would recommend water shoes as the water has a lot of shells right as you enter. We were there on a very busy 4th of July weekend and it ended up being just perfect.

I've tubed on many rivers but never one that barely flows. It seems we missed the memo about grabbing an oar. There were four in my group and we had two cooler tubes. We were all linked together. There were many times where we literally weren't moving. Each one of us had to take turns walking our group down the river and pulling the rest of us just to make progress. We were told there were sandbars located throughout our trip for us to enjoy the picnic I provided. The only thing we found eventually was a big rock that we got up on to eat. So I would rate Tar River Life highly but the overall experience would get maybe a two from me.
