Beautiful campground, great lake views and access, although the lake was low, could easily tie a boat up to the shore, good fishing too. The campground was well taken care of with I believe 22 bathrooms, clean and well stocked. No showers. Love this place, will be back.

A bit higher in price. No showers. No stores nearby. Lake water is low but is a nice view. Hosts were nice. Bathrooms and campgrounds were clean and maintained. It did feel more like an RV park though - everytime I said good morning or hello to someone I was ignored or like looked down upon since I was tent camping...

Lovely campground with lots of room for all. We stayed here with a 3 yr old and 2 month old and felt that we had enough space to not bother anyone with the noises. There's a nice sandy beach just a short walk from the campsites. Next time we will prepare to use the 6 mile paved bike trail. Camp hosts were friendly and helpful. Bathrooms were clean!

I stayed for 2 nights as a walk-in. I already thought it was overpriced at $30/night. The charge to my card was for $222.43! I have called and emailed, but have yet to hear from them. I had a hard time funding the remainder of my trip because I lost $162.43! Horrible!

Hello Bonnie, Merrill Campground is located in the Eagle Lake Recreation Area of the Lassen National Forest. This recreation area has five campgrounds, three designated day use areas and a marina on the south shore of Eagle Lake. All of these recreation facilities are connected by a 5.2 mile paved hiking/bike trail. I hope this helps. Thank you, Vista Recreation.

Did Lassen Forest service close Merrill campground on aug 22 2021?

I don't know. I left the day before. But the fire wasn't close enough at that time, so I doubt it.

The website lists a few first-come first-served sites. If I wanted to come on a Friday to get one of these sites, how early should I show up?

First come first serve doesnt mean someone hasn't already reserved it online. If it was me, I'd see what I could reserve online, to (possibly) ensure a site. Their online reservation system has really been screwing up lately. Over the Independence Day weekend, RV after RV was turned away. It's an awesome place to camp. Also check to see if Eagle Lake Rd is open yet. It was closed recently due to the Hog fire.
