Very nice park for an overnight stay, but not any longer than that. The sites are long and level, but uncomfortably close for us. The speed limit was ignored by seasonals and there were many. We'd stay again overnight only. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The park is very compact with sites close together. The roads are gravel but the sites are concrete pads. The wifi was good. My site kept tripping the 30amp breaker, moved to the 50amp with an adapter and didn't have any more problems. Good place for an overnight, or maybe longer if you have something to do in town. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A park in Shreveport told us about this place, we are glad they did. It is very nice, clean and level, good power just a very nice place to stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.
It is a great park. It has nice sites, that are level with good cable and wifi. There are nice roads in and out. It is very clean and quiet. The office staff is super nice. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
It was great to find this nice campground after driving all day in the rain. The price was great, the sites are clean and level and the owner was very nice. We would certainly stop here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We have been here many times before and when we are in Meridian, we like to "come home". The owner goes out of his way to make you feel at home. The sites are great and you'll have to go a long way to find a better RV Park. My wife and I have both recently had cataract surgery and the owner offered many times to drive us to the doctor's office or do any thing else he could to help us. Hey, we're "Home" for now. We camped here in a Motorhome.
It is clean and has a nicely laid out site plan. It is easy to pull in, with wide gravel roads and spacious sites. The owner is friendly. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This campground was a diamond in the rough of private campgrounds in the I-20 corridor through Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia. It's located about 4 miles from I-20, has concrete pads--nicely level too--with working Wi-Fi and CATV. They honor all discount clubs like PA, Good Sam, Camp Club USA. The only downside is a nearby railroad track with trains coming close by about every 6 hours. Pencil this park in your travel book--a great place to overnight on I-20!! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Our rate reflects Passport America discount. The park is very clean, quiet with good wifi. The sites are close with no patios however the sites are very long with a 40 foot concrete pad for parking your rig. All sites are pull through. We will definitely return. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice park, a little off the interstate but worth the drive. We stayed just one night as we were traveling through the area. The concrete pads are very level. Hook-ups are located for easy access and connection. The park appears to be fairly new and in excellent condition. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great value. Neat, clean with fair amount of shade. Level concrete sites. Off the main thoroughfares so relatively quiet. Camped in 40' motorhome with toad. Only stayed one night. Had a drive through site. Site was long enough to leave the toad connected without having the toad block the road. Would definitely stay here again. Both cable TV and Wi-Fi worked great! We camped here in a Motorhome.
A very nice and neat RV park. If you're looking for a pool, playground, etc. this is not the place. This is the perfect one night, two night or even longer if your looking for a nice, clean and inexpensive place to park. Level and Big Rig friendly sites. No traffic noise. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a nice park. Last time through this area we stayed at the KOA, just read the reviews on that one. The staff here were very nice, the sites are good, if you are looking for a safe, clean place. I would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
A very clean and smart looking park but had no trees or swimming pool for any outdoor activities. Since the park had only one restroom/shower room at one end of the park, I was very glad to be parked at that end. The office was often not manned so check in was a little difficult. I would definitely stay here again if I was visiting friends in the area since this is only a place to park for a night or two. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice campground with good hosts. Sites on cement pad, good WIFI reception, good cable reception. No issues on this visit. Would gladly return again. Rate reflects Passport America rate. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We like this park. The other reviewers have described it well. It is very clean and well kept. There are a lot of long term residents but they keep their sites neat and the ones we met are very nice and helpful. There is excellent free wifi; cable; very nice reception. It is a great place for an overnight or to tour Meridian. There is a Sam's right up the road and many shops and stores for restocking. We'd love to come back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We are staying for a week. Nice and pretty level cement pads which should be wider and sites are very close. However, it is a clean and well maintained park with a very friendly owner. The office is only staffed morning and afternoon, but owner returns phone calls promptly. Wi-Fi is exceptional and cable only fair. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We have stayed here several times before and will stay here again in the future. The park is convenient to I20 and US 45. Clean park with gravel roadway and cement pads. Owners are very friendly and have been very welcoming each time we have called. We used Passport America and asked for this consideration when we called for reservation. We would recommend this park to all and wish the owners well during these stressful economic times. We camped here in a Motorhome.
It has no charm, but is level, quiet and convenient. The cable and internet worked well. The office was often unstaffed, but manager/owner lives nearby and keeps an eye on it. They make a big deal out of using electric heaters, with signs stating that you will be evicted if you use one. We were not sure if that applied to our electric fireplace or not, so we refrained from using it. The tone of the notice is unpleasant. Overall, ok for an overnight. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
I stayed at this park two weeks after staying at Meridian East KOA (read my reviews of it). This park is not bad at all for a night or two stay. Very easy to get to, wide interior roads, concrete pads (owner should have made them wider). Used the laundry, extremely clean. Only real issue is campground is in the bald open, so no summer shade. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great stopover park. Sites are concrete and level. Watch out for the water pressure it is very high. Over 100 psi at night. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a nice campground for an overnight stop, but certainly not for a long term stay. The interior roads are gravel, and the sites have concrete pads. The sites are fairly long, but most are very tight. Cable and wifi worked well, and there are plenty of places to walk a dog. It is an easy on off if you are traveling Highway 45 through Alabama. We would stay here again for an overnight stop. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a nice park just a couple of miles from Meridian. There is lots of shopping including Sam's Club in the city., and a huge variety of dining in town, too. There are clean, level, cement sites with tables and grass. Shade trees could hamper reception in summer, but in November there are few leaves so satellite and internet were fine. The entrance was gravel, but there was no dust, and even when the park was full in the evening, there was no noise. We stayed three nights and would stay again. It is easy on/off for Hwy 45. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Good WiFi and cable. Nice cement pads. Didn't give it a 10 because it is a little far off the interstate and shopping. Would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A very nice park with the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. All sites were level concrete pads with 50 amp service and cable tv. WiFi was available at no charge. The office building housed very nice restrooms and showers for those requiring them, and also made available three pairs of coin-operated washers and dryers. We stayed two nights using our Camp Club USA discount. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is an awesome little park. Sites are off-set and not to close together. The staff was great. He showed us to our spot and asked if he could help me set up. All hook-ups are very well laid out. The cable TV worked great. It was very quiet. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Wi-Fi: Worked good @ 7B AT&T Cell Phone: 5 bars Sprint Air Card: 1x -94dbm Cable: poor on site 7B Site: Level Concrete, with grass in between, mostly pull-thru Site Size: Long enough to park Truck (about 70ft) Site Closeness: Fairly close. Awning would be close to extended slides Roads: In and around are stone, stone lead up to site pads for parking. Restrooms: Nice and clean Laundry: 2 Washers $1.00 & 2 Dryers $1.00, look new Long term tenants: Some but kept neat Discounts: Camp Club USA, PassPort America Additional Charges: Charged $3 extra for 50amp Advertises $2 Directv Satellite: Good 50 - 202 Discounts: Camp Club USA, PassPort America Payment: Cash or Check only when using Discount Plans Additional Remarks: Does not allow electric heaters (but charges extra for 50amp?) No campfires Pet restrictions: No Rottweilers, Dobermans or Pitt Bull The owner of this park strongly expresses no use of Electric Heaters, Rules on handout and through out the Laundry and restrooms. There was an ant mound at our site but the owner has done a good job of getting rid of them. We did not have an ant problem. I would have given this park a better score if the Cable was clear and the sites were a bit further apart. We would stay here again except during a time that heating would be needed. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is our favorite campground in the Meridian area--easily accessed from Interstate 20, very clean, quiet, level concrete pads, and friendly, helpful staff. While there is no recreation for children, it is an excellent choice for adults. The rate reflects Passport America rates and it is a great bargain. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed at Benchmark during Hurricane Ike evacuation. Randy (owner/manager) was AWESOME! From our first phone conversation, he definitely put me at ease. He quieted my concern of a fully functioning WiFi. WiFi worked very well and allowed us to stay in touch with what was going on back home. The bathroom/laundry room is "squeaky clean" and very upscale homey looking. I loved the tile work. Enough cannot be said for Randy who made our evacuation stay most pleasant. Perhaps next time our stay will be under more pleasant conditions. When you stay, you will not be disappointed. Note: our nightly rate reflects a Good Sam discount. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We were pleasantly surprised at how nice this campground is. The ratings in Trailer Life were too low in my opinion. The pull through sites all have concrete pads. It is very clean and well maintained. A great place to stay and explore this area of Mississippi. It is close to the train tracks so that can be noisy but I would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We camp here whenever in the area.The park is clean and quiet and the host very helpful! The nightly rate reflected the Passport America discount. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Good campground with fairly easy access to US 45 and I-20. Sites are big enough to keep toad attached for overnight. Allows coach washing with approval. Clean and well maintained. Good for overnight or extended stay. Diesel readily available at multiple stations that are RV friendly. Will definitley consider on our next stopover in Meridian. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A no frills overnight campground. Everything worked fine. A bit off the beaten track but easy to get to. Not much in the area. A gas station across the street. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a small park with few amenities but it has wide dust free interior roads and all sites have cement pads. It is well kept with friendly staff. Very nice hookup stations with TV cable at each site. We only stayed for one night and would stay again. We were South bound on 59/20. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Owners tell you one price on phone, when you get there price is not the same. Owners will TRY to evict you from premises if you make the mistake of paying monthly rent in advance. Owners make exceptions for some campers who are in cahoots with them and I will tell you to be sure to keep an eye on your rig at all times, especially if you are alone because you may just come back to find broken windows. It is not safe to do business with these people. I've had damage done to my rig and costly repairs as the result along with my propane was drained out of my tank in the winter within 1 week of filling the tank because I didn't buy it from them AND they don't allow you to use electric heat (well they do some) lol, If they suck up enough. Rip off if I ever saw one! We camped here in a Motorhome.
I read the RV park reviews on this campground and from that information we picked it for an overnight stay. I found everything as listed and a great staff that was very helpful. At the time of my visit the park was full and I got the last site for the night. I would have liked to use my Passport America membership but forgot to mention this upfront while making the reservation. Because of this failure on my part I was not told that all the PA sites were full for the night. However the staff did offer us a Good Sam discount and I appreciated their help. Just a note to all out there, be sure to mention any discount programs you are using up front when making a reservation. This will prevent you from making the same mistake we did at this great park. Will stay there again and will mention PA next time. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We only spent the night here. The sites were nice and level on a cement pad. We came in late and left early so we didn't really get to observe much but it was a great quick night stop for us. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stopped at this park for an overnight, because they advertised that they honor Passport America discount on their website, however, that was not the case when we stopped. We called ahead to make sure they had a site available, and were told there was one spot open, which was indeed the case when we arrived. Upon checking in at the host site we were told someone would be in the office later that afternoon. We had already hooked up before we found out that they did not accept Passport America or we would probably have just stayed at the local Super Walmart. The host was friendly and the campground was clean, but at the rate we were charged, which did include a Good Sam’s discount, it is overpriced in our opinion. We probably would not stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The accommodations on I-20 from Birmingham to S.C. are pretty sparse. This C.G. was OK for a night or two. Basic "parking lot" type parking, but spaces are generous. Good hook-ups, concrete parking pads, some grass, good interior graveled roads, easy in/out. The only restroom/shower I saw was in the office, however is was modern and clean. A good piece from I-20, so no highway noise, but some air traffic (it seemed to close to Meridian). We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Pull thrus had plenty of room to leave the tow and TT attached. Pads are concrete, wide and level, roads are gravel with plenty of room to maneuver. Power voltage, WiFi and security was fine. You need a regulator to control water pressure. Quiet grounds and friendly staff. They brought me a card I dropped at the office. We were just passing thru, but we will keep this park on our list of places to stay. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Folks, this is a nice park, period. Best one in the Meridian area, and we have stayed at them all on our travels east and west on I-20/59. Quiet, clean, and I mean really clean. Great sites with hookups, cable, Wi-Fi and with level concrete pads. Getting to the park was real easy in and out. People in the office were super nice and very helpful with information on the area amenities and restaurants. Don't pass this one by. Our cost with PA discount was $16.05. A bargain plus! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nice park I would recommend for an overnight off I-20. Convenient on and off. Not much to do in Meridian. No pool and not any shade. Very hot when we stayed there. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A great overnight spot. Convenient to I-20 but far enough to be tranquil, safe and quiet. Not much to do in Meridian, but plenty of shopping. We camped here in a Motorhome.
One of the best big rig parks on I-20. Huge pull-through sites, excellent egress and ingress, good turning radius--everything is well placed and landscaping is nice. Good satellite reception, but they also have good cable and excellent wi-fi. You will enjoy staying at this place. A top notch park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great night or two stop. Sites have concrete pads for camper and are very easy to get in and out. Very long sites so no need to unhook rig. Used passport America. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
No frills park but super nice. Nice wide pads for big rigs. No kids and that is a major plus. No real amenities but we don't need all the kid stuff. Very quiet and clean. We will stay here every time we come through. Best park we have been in, in a long time. Owner was very nice and very helpful. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Level sites, at $30 more than we were used to paying, wifi worked great. Neat and clean, but not too exciting, good overnight stop. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great park for an overnight stop or for a couple of days. Good WiFi and cable selection. Sites are a little narrow, but fine for limited stay. All utilities are groups conveniently together. There is room for this park to expand. It is a Passport America park. Friendly owners. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was a jewel of a park. Neat,clean, long wide level spaces. Owner was very friendly and helpful. One of the nicest parks we have been in this summer. More parks like this !!! We are fulltimers and have seem many parks out there. This was one of the best Passport Parks we have stayed in. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
One of the nicest parks around. Immaculately clean facilities inside and out. Grounds are park like and very friendly owners. For all the ammenities, the rate is very reasonable. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Another half price campground, raising their prices much too high to offset the discount. The WIFI was recognized right away but severely degraded by evening and almost useless by the next morning. I carry 2 computers with 5 different WIFI adapters, the old Wireless B with an upgraded antenna did best but nothing worked by morning. Otherwise the park and grounds were very well kept. Maps of the area and tv channel listings would be a nice touch since the prices were on the high side. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This park was an unexpected jewel. Concrete pads, long pull-thrus, full hook-up with 50 amp, and plenty of room for 4 slides. We camped in a 40' Allegro Bus. The park is clean and there is a clear line of site for Internet and TV satellite dishes. We will definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A perfect stop over campground. Friendly owner, clean grounds, level concrete pad, wide sites, long sites, free Cable TV, free WIFI, easy access. I would stop here anytime I am in the area. We need more parks like this in the US. Our $15 rate was Passport America. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a very well run park for anyone who needs a place to park. They do not have any playground areas for the kids but it is a nice place to stay for anyone who is traveling through. The sites are wide and long enough for your tow and a 45 ft rv. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very nice quiet park. The sites are all 40 feet long cement with plenty of space
for the "toad" to park. I would highly recommend this park to anyone traveling in central Mississippi. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a new RV Park and they are still making improvements. Each site has a 40x10' concrete slab and the total site length is 70'. This is a Passport America park and the PA rate is $12.50. I've stayed there twice and would do it again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Cement slab rock type park. Staying here for a few months working. Cable TV, wireless internet, no real complaints but I do prefer a shade tree back in type park. But over all I have a spot on top of the hill so I don't feel quite so packed in. I give it a 8 instead of a 10 only because I prefer a rustic type place, most folks would love it. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Big gravel lot with concrete pads, nice and level. Pool on site, staff very friendly. Stayed one night and would return. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The park was clean and the staff friendly. We only staid for one night. No trees but the pads were level and made of concrete. I would stay again. If I was going for a camping experience I would stay at a state park though. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We stayed here overnight. The place was kind of small, but well kept. Nice concrete pads and lighted utility boxes. The staff was very helpful and super nice. Appeared like it was kind of a new or remodeled location as the gravel still has some dirt showing in it. Only negative thing I can say was the dogs roaming free around the grounds. We have three schnauzers and it was hard to take them out with the other dogs roaming around. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
It appears they are enlarging and creating more sites. Not a bad stop-over for a night. Some highway noise, but we have had worse. NO trains at least! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Free WI-FI internet. Nice concrete slabs on the pull thrus. This park appears to be fairly new as there is a lot of red dirt mixed in with new gravel. We camped here in a Motorhome.
New Management has cleared the park of undesirables and is attempting to clean the park up. He has a long way to go - trash everywhere, not picked up, etc. Broken pads but still level when on the unbroken part. No worst than most KOAs. We ran from Baton Rouge to Meridian for Gustav and stayed 3-nights. Convenient handy getaway for us to escape the hurricane. Reasonable price - cash or check only. We would return for another hurricane escape. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This place is a dump. Garbage everywhere, no one on site (it looked as if no one was there
in days/weeks) Cable hookup and phone long gone (even though the 2004 Woodalls say's they have them) Broken concrete pads, many sites did not have working facilities (Again the description says 60 out of 60 full hookups) Laundry fac. no where to be seen. Really flithy campground in a less then inviting part of town.
Beware! We camped here in a Motorhome.
RV park in conjunction with MHP. About 1.5 miles off I-20. Mostly gravel sites on hillside. Most not too level. Ok for smaller rigs but hard for big rigs. Parked our 35' in one of the two pull thru sites down on the level. Very glad didn't have to go up on the hill. Cleanliness was marginal. We camped here in a camper.
Park is good for an overnight stay. Office is in an dark, musty smelling building, looks like it was formerly an old "A" frame KOA office. Staff was friendly and led us to our site, made sure we know where all utilities were. Park has a group pavilion, volleyball court and pond. Some sites occupied by long term campers with old, broken down trailers. Sites are gravel and large pine tree shaded,which are trimmed up and we had no problem getting our 38 ft. w/tow into our pull-thru site. Some road noise and occasional train whistles. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Former KOA that has been cleaned up some. Still a ways to go. Sites and roads are new crushed rock. It rained hard while we were there and the new rock kept it from being totally muddy. They DON'T take credit cards. Price includes Good Sam discount. Nothing here but it made a decent overnight close to I-20. No road noise as it is about a half mile from interstate. Had pull thru site that was long enough we did not have to unhook the toad. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Overnight park at best. Sites are very narrow and access roads are crowded and narrow as well. Office is
dark, damp cave-like A-frame building. Staff isn't the friendliest in the world either. We camped here in a camper.
Generally a nice park. We wanted a pull-thru and access to the site we got was a squeeze through the trees...about 6" to spare on each side. Site itself was roomy enough but as one previous poster said, sewer hookup is in middle of site. Luckily, we were level further back on the site so the sewer was under our raised front and easily accessible for us. Had cell service and Verizon broadband coverage. We were not on a lakefront lot but took a drive through that area and it seemed nice. Waterpark is a small one but looked clean. There are some very nice areas under the pines on another peninsula that would make excellent camping spots. We would stop here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
CG is very peaceful & quiet, not busy. Site and some roads are old blacktop. Lots of trees so rooftop sat dish might not work, antenna reception good. We use Passport America for 50% off for 3 nights. 37' 5W and many sites were big enough. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed in the nicest spot, number 27. On a point overlooking the lake. Nice grass and asphalt pad. This is a large spot. Parked our 40' RV with the Jeep in front and still had 10+' to spare on the pad. The strange; a lot of the sewer hookups are in the middle of the pads, meaning you have to belly crawl under the RV to connect the sewer. The dangerous; my wife, the first night was walking the dog. Walking within 20 feet of the RV was an unmarked 15 foot drop off to the lake. There was no water at this point. She stopped because something "felt wrong". This campground was hit hard by Katrina. That probably caused the drop off. It is the reason there is no cable. There are many trees down. One campground loop looks like it could not be used due to all the debris. There is no internet access of any kind, not even a dial up access in the office. With all the disrepair, all three times I was in the office, all the park personnel were in the office watching TV. The potential for this campground is huge, but it will still be a "6" until someone fires the staff and gets people that want to work, rather then just take home a paycheck. The lake is also severely low on water in the Winter, which was not mentioned on their web site. We camped here in a Motorhome.
