Where Merritt Reservoir is
Getting a campsite at Merritt Reservoir
How do I get a campsite at Merritt Reservoir when it's sold out?
Cancellations happen constantly — the trick is being first to know. Set an alert for your dates and we'll watch Merritt Reservoir on Nebraska State Parks around the clock, then notify you the moment a site opens. Alerts run on a Pro subscription ($9.99/mo, cancel anytime).
When do campsites usually open up at Merritt Reservoir?
Whenever someone cancels. Most reservation systems refund less the closer you get to arrival, so cancellations cluster in the days before a stay — but the openings themselves are unpredictable, which is exactly why watching for them beats refreshing the page.

At high-demand Nebraska parks a cancelled summer-weekend site is often rebooked within minutes — sometimes under a minute. Being notified the instant it opens, with your Nebraska State Parks login and payment already saved, is the difference between getting in and missing it.
