Lake Meriwether Park — Hotel in Raleigh

Lake Meriwether Park is a GEM. A small park, but RV sites have power and water. Parking and access is well maintained. The feel of the park is quite intimate, but also quite secure. (This is a comment, not a criticism - the sites are grass and marked only by the power hubs. There are options on approach and orientation to each site.) Fire rings and picnic tables are provided. The park is beautiful to a point of being idyllic. The park itself has activities centered on relaxation, hiking, fishing. tent and RV camping. There is much history in this area, many days worth of activity relating to local, regional and national history. There is also an abundance of southern regional charm in this area. The Lake is the local public water supply, and use is limited to non-polluting activities. One of the most wonderful surprises from our stay was the opportunity to meet with the park Caretaker, Mr. Robert Lovett. Mr. Lovett was a man of regional importance, a loyal and dedicated local public servant. Mr. Lovett is a man of great charm and great warmth - an true ambassador for the Park and for his community without equal. I cannot say enough good about this place - it is not a RV resort, it is much more. It is an intimate, beautiful, extremely comfortable place. It is a place to spend at least 4 or 5 days, to decompress and to appreciate why we travel. It is stunning. I hesitate to give a review - this is one of those places that we share hesitatingly because we want...

They are still open and operational as of June 2025. They are having a changing of the guard and appearances are suffering with a much needed grass cutting. In the south rain and sunshine necessitate regular lawn maintenance. We are sad that all the recent additions are hidden beneath these new developments. TLC is now urgently required. Subsequent comments are from our visit one year ago. Nice location: hike, fish, bike, and camp. There is also a nice Frisbee course. They also have upgraded the campsites. They have full sized campsites several with space, graveled asphalt pads. Highly recommended for those interested in a great...

We like this lake and have camped many times before I'm not sure if it's because it's under new management but it is not being kept up the way it has in the past. The bathrooms were absolutely disgusting overflowed toilets feces and toilet paper on the floors. One the the shower rooms is completely missing the sink and in the other had clumps of hair and toilet overflow everywhere, biohazard for sure. The trail as well looks like it's not being kept up. hopefully it improves in the future would love to see better...
