Merry Knoll Campground

This family owned campground is immaculate! Though there are seasonal sites, the transient sites are placed perfectly on the hillside with views of the Thousand Islands. We even saw tankers going by. The sites are spacious and well kept. The sweet welcoming gift was a nice touch. The location was perfect for us to enjoy the area.

We really like the location. I felt like outsiders. It was just my husband and our 3 year old. We were surrounded by people with permanent spots. It was NOT warm and fuzzy. The owner was very nice but his wife Joanne was NOT. I will never go back there because of her. We absolutely felt unwelcomed.

We have been coming to Merry Knoll for many years. Always have a great time. Joanne & Jim are the best. Jim is always checking on everyone to see if they are comfortable or have any problems. I would recommend this campgrounds to anyone

Nice campground with great view of the river. Very welcoming owners. Bathrooms are clean. The complimentary carrot cake on arrival was delicious. Merry Knoll is conveniently located to Clayton.

The only thing this place has going for it is the view at the very end of the campground. Overall the campground was more permanent residents than recreational campers. Many of the permanent residents had dogs that roamed freely off a leash and did lots of barking. The owner Jim was not really a welcoming type. My husband asked if we could have a late checkout the following day. At first when he asked Jim he sort of grumbled and told my husband to go see his wife to pay extra and sign papers. My husband did and asked if we could stay until 2-2:30 and she charged him the extra. When we got back from our boat tour at 1:45 Jim was waiting at our site obviously angry. He said to me “glad you’re back”. I said, “Thanks. Yes we made it back safely.” Jim said in a nasty tone “No, I mean I’m glad
