About Merrisach Lake Campground
Set along the tranquil banks of Merrisach Lake and the Arkansas Post Canal, Merrisach Lake Campground offers a serene retreat characterized by outstanding fishing, rich wildlife, and a peaceful forested setting. Ideal for campers seeking seclusion, it provides a connection with nature through its proximity to the Mississippi Flyway, a renowned migratory path for songbirds, waterfowl, and butterflies, making it a paradise for birdwatchers and outdoor enthusiasts.
The campground features well-maintained campsites, many with electric and water hookups, some offering lakeside views. Amenities include hot showers, restrooms, picnic tables, grills, a boat ramp, and a playground, catering to comfort and recreation. Anglers will appreciate the world-class bass, crappie, and catfish fishing opportunities available in the area, while the nearby Dale Bumpers White River National Wildlife Refuge and the Arkansas Post National Memorial, both within a 30-minute drive, provide additional avenues for exploration and cultural discovery.
Located about 30 miles from DeWitt, Arkansas, this off-the-beaten-path campground is easily accessible yet remote enough to guarantee a serene escape. Whether for a weekend getaway or an extended stay, Merrisach Lake Campground stands out as a perfect destination to unwind, connect with nature, and enjoy the abundant outdoor activities of eastern Arkansas.
