Merry Meadows is a neatly nestled into the trees. This can make it difficult for some people to navigate with big rigs. It's well taken care of for the most part, although I'm parked across from a camper that has 2-3 foot tall weeds all around it. You have to use a key card to get in and OUT. You can not have a motorcycle past the entry gate and u was told no golf carts because of insurance… what they mean is you can't have a golf cart unless you are seasonal and pay their fee for having it. Speaking of fees, everything costs extra! Your daily fee gets you a parking spot and access to the pool and pickleball/tennis courts. "THE HUB" is an activities center and it looks like everything has a fee. They even charged me $10 for early check-in. I'll be finding another campground next time I'm in the area.
I have stayed here at Raystown Lake/Saxton KOA several times. This time, however, the campground has new owners. When I heard of this a few weeks before the sale was final, I told the new owners they had big shoes to fill! Well, they did it and more! First, what hasn't changed: It is still a small family run and family friendly campground, it still has a pool the is as clean as they come (they may have added a new liner, not sure) and they still maintain it like it is being inspected the next day. Now what has changed: Of course the new faces - and every one of them has a smile to greet you… as if you have been friends for years but just didn't realize it. Fresh new ideas can be seen all around from removal of older sheds, more identified walkways to moving of trees… I'm watching that take place right before my eyes as I type this. If you're looking for a quiet, smaller friendly spot to spend a few day camping or in a cabin, you're doing yourself an injustice if you don't choose Raystown Lake/Saxton KOA!
No frills place to park for events at the Expo Center and Fair Grounds. Helpful staff but they can get overwhelmed during large events.
What a great little family owned and run campground. The only thing you'll hear are barges running up and down the Ohio River and an occasional train over on the Kentucky side. Spots are big, grounds are neat and clean and the service is friendly and accommodating.
Stayed here for a DRV National Rally. The grounds are exceptionally clean, the pool relaxing and the hosts are more than willing to accommodate your needs.
This is a family owned and operated campground since 1964. Mark and Michelle take exceptional care of the grounds and go.out of their way to make everyone's stay enjoyable!
