Merced RV Park

Alas September was our last month at the park. We have moved to another location to be closer to work. We will miss all the staff and the Spot we had. We highly recommend this place to anyone just visiting and or needing a base spot. We will return here even just for a day visit.Thank you all

We have lived here for 7 months now, and couldn't ask for a better experience. When looking in the area for homes or apartments to rent we decided to live in the trailer instead for one year while my husband is in his PA school rotations and I'm so glad we made this decision. Big pros: + Close enough to the freeway, central location to Turlock, Merced, Modesto, but without freeway noise (You will hear the train frequently but this is something I grew up around so it's actually comforting to me).+Friendly, helpful staff. +On site propane refill: You can leave your empty tank out and they'll refill it for you. Awesome. +Reasonable cost: Rent includes water, you just pay your own electric (get LED bulbs in your RV!)+Safety: The gate closes at night and you need a code to get in. I've never felt unsafe here! Neighbors have been friendly too. +Dog friendly: Dog park for big and little ones.-Con but not worth removing a star: WiFi is crappy. We get by with our hot spot and Starbucks one exit away if we really need to get something done without it kicking us off. Our spot is right on the river and I love waking up and seeing the fog roll over the river. We plan on staying a full year and I know I will have many good memories of this place!

The name listed for this place is Merced River RV Resort. To call it a "resort" is wishful thinking. It's a dump. The only good thing I can say about it is that the hook-ups were operational. We did not use the showers or laundry, so I can't speak to that. Sites were unlevel and muddy. Park is trashy.

Went camping this weekend and the weather was beautiful! I love this rv site. Everyone was so nice and welcoming. We were greeted by the security at the gate (we arrived around 7:30 pm) and once we received our map and assignment slot he offered to lead us to our spot. He was very informational on what we needed to know and made sure we got settled in. We met our residential neighbors who were super helpful the whole weekend and really nice. Heads up this place is mainly long-term tenants but that didn't seem to make a difference everyone was welcoming and really nice. The place was not bad, the only thing we had a small issue with was all the bathrooms were closed so you definitely have to use your bathroom in your RV and shower. (No fault of there own.) I would definitely would like to come back if I have the opportunity and highly recommend it if you like more of the forest-like atmosphere.

This is a gorgeous park. On the river, large, lush trees and friendly security and staff! Super bummed about showers and the park being closed (COVID ) but the stay was still nice!

Poor poor respect! Made a reservation 4 days ago, with Kelli the BOSS. Showed up today and clerk couldn't find it. She called Kelli who denied it! Turned away.

So, let's start with the good. The lady we spoke to for reservations was very professional and helpful. In addition, the night attendant Perry was also very helpful and took us to our spot and pointed out where things were. That is all the good I can give the campground. Let's start with the "no's" . No wi-fi, no cable, no restrooms. If I am paying for a site, all three of those are mandatory. The campground itself is set next to the Merced River so there is good scenery, but the campground itself is old and worn out. I would say that' 80% plus are all permanent residents, some of their equipment in very poor condition. The roads are all gravel and my site was very un-level. I think there is good potential here, but there needs to be a lot of investment made to get this park back to a destination people will want to visit.

There is no pool, no showers, no bathrooms, and no swimming in river despite what the website says. Pool and bathrooms have been broke over a year. They charge a big price too with no amenities. The staff is very nice and accommodating. But the park is unkept and they allow people to have clutter, debris, garbage, tarps, old broken campers, broken windows. It's a shame. The summer pictures here look nice but the disrepair of the facilities and the appearance their guests are allowed to display ruins this park. It's somewhere to stay if you need it though.

We phoned ahead for a space for our motorhome & tow. said we'd like pull thru. none but said overflow would work. we did not want to unhook & told the girl. She took us down this narrow road and didn't tell us to turn around & we got stuck not being able to go forward, then telling us we couldn't go to overflow because of the 30amp & we have 50amp. we said we had a 30 amp adapter but no the old manager said, so we had to leave. such a joke & not that nice.

This is not a resort. Most of the people live here. If you are looking for a place to live it my be the right place. If you're looking for a place to take the family keep looking.
