GenieSummary
Merchants Millpond State Park is a great destination for outdoor enthusiasts looking for a unique experience. The park offers several camping options, including drive-in, hike-in, and canoe-in sites. Each drive-in site has a picnic table, fire ring/grill, and tent pad. The three canoe-in sites have pit toilets, fire rings, and picnic tables. The park also has a centrally located bathhouse with hot showers. The park staff is friendly and helpful, and the park is filled with wildlife and beautiful swamps. Visitors can canoe around the pond in search of alligators, and take advantage of the hiking trails, bike trails, and meeting facility. The park is a great place to relax and explore, but it does not have any hook-ups and can get hot in the summer months.
From The Campground
Merchants Millpond State Park is located in Gates County, North Carolina and centers on a 760-acre millpond more than 190 years old. Visitors can explore the wetland environment by hiking the surrounding trails or paddling the placid, shallow waters of the pond. Old-growth cypress trees adorned with Spanish moss create an 'enchanted forest,' particularly at Lassiter Swamp. Visitors have even spotted the American alligator here, at the northernmost point of its range.
