Quiet, wildlife-filled park with well-spaced sites. The restrooms were spotless, and a washer/dryer just inside the bath house was a great addition. Convenient to Natchez and the Fall or Spring Pilgrimage, but perhaps too far (about 15 miles) for those who want to play in the casino. With water, nature trails, cabins to rent and beautiful scenery, this would be a wonderful place for a reunion or group camping event. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very quiet RV/camping area. Large sites, level as well as roomy. Lost cellphone here and was found and returned to us. Would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
It is a bit isolated, but absolutely beautiful. Wildlife abounds.....we saw wild turkey flocks and deer. The pads are level and easily accessed. Our rig totals 53 feet, and we had no problems navigating. The personnel were friendly and helpful. Our GPS routed us the "old" way and we were concerned, but once we entered the exact address, we found it immediately. Be sure to call ahead as all MS state park sites are by reservation. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Only 2 pull-thru sites at this park. Sites in Campground B are paved and pretty level. Restrooms are clean but do need some fixing up. Park office is about a mile past the campground which is a bit inconvenient. Lake with 2 piers for fishing. Campers don’t have to pay to fish which is nice. Verizon cell phone only down near the office and internet connection absolutely non-existent unless you go towards Natchez and find it somewhere along the road. About 15 minutes from Natchez with it’s wonderful history and pre-Civil War homes. Lots to see in the area. We would stay here again and do recommend it for people wanting to tour Natchez. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
For a state park, this was very nice. Concrete pads at each site. Friendly and helpful staff. Many mosquitos and sand flies, and when walking under the trees expect ticks to drop on you, I had three within the first hour we were there. Forget cell and broadband, the most I had was one bar and kept being dropped, no broadband at all. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This campground is about 2 miles from the Natchez Trace Parkway. We used this as our base while visiting historical mansions in the area. Reservations recommended during March and April. While camping at site #42, I found the sites to be adequately shaded and spaced for privacy. Although we were in our pop-up, I saw several big rigs with slide outs comfortably situated. During the week it was very quiet even while being full. The weekend was a little louder as motorcyclists were enjoying the Parkway. Never encountered any rude behavior. The lake holds the record for the largest large-mouth bass ever caught in Miss. Saw several small fishing boats out as well as pier fishing available. Only a few sites are available with a lake view. Since it is a small area, all sites were close to the bathhouse. I loved the natural setting that most state parks offer, but depending on the states level of funding amenities can greatly vary. Improvements are needed at the bathhouse. Although all the basics were there, locks on doors were broken. No hand soap or paper towels were provided. These were all very small factors, as we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. There was a built-in space heater near the shower which was great for the cool mornings! We had a fire in the firepit provided and trash cans are provided at every site. We loved the town of Natchez, MS! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Lake is beautiful. The cabin section seemed nice, just drove through it. Staff at station was very helpful and friendly. Isn't a park to fish from bank except in the day use area. The pier started swaying toward the end, a bit scary. Not much for kids to do here. Good place for weekend fishing/boating trip and a cold one. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very pretty state park--clean and well cared for (we didn't notice problems with the bathrooms). The park staff was friendly and helpful, even recommended a good restaurant. Nice, small lake to walk around and sites surrounded by huge trees. We enjoyed our stay and it was a short drive into town and off the Natchez parkway. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was our first visit to this campground, and we found it to be as previously described. We stayed in the "new" campground, which had level concrete pads spaced reasonably well apart. It seemed to be the choice of most travelers, and was nearest to the lake. The "old" campground appeared to have more extended stay use, but was closer to the entrance by a couple of miles. The bathhouse in the new campground could have used a good cleaning of the mildew, and a coat of paint. While it wasn't filthy, it could have been much better. The doors on the showers had no latches and there were very few hooks or shelves to place clothes, soap, etc. on. It appeared that a lot of the campers in this campground were like us, and traveling the Natchez Trace. We saw folks from the Midwest, Northeast, Ontario and Colorado while there for 2 days. If this was the only state park they visited in Mississippi, they received a very poor impression of the state park system. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This campground is beautiful. We spent 4 nights here and would definitely come back. I enjoyed our site very much, and the bathrooms were in new/clean condition. The people who ran the campground and who camped at the campground were very nice. We spent a lot of time playing in and out of the trails with the children. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We enjoyed this park. It is about 10 miles from Natchez. There are two parts to the camping area. The old part and the new part, where we stayed. The sites in the new part are paved and nicely configured. New bathhouse. We drove through the old part, which had the few full hook-up sites. I think that big rig accessibility might be a problem there. We weren't surprised that our cell phone didn't work, but were surprised that there was no payphone anywhere in the park. We would return. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The most positive remark for this campground is that the actual sites are concrete and level. On the negative side, the campground is mostly long-term residents. The roads were rough and not well maintained. It was very messy and dirty. They advertised WiFi, but it did not work. We won't stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
I must agree with the last 3 reviews: disgusting bathroom, laundry and shower building (needs to be replaced), mostly a mobile home/long-term park, sites are actually very good (Full hookup, fairly spacious, good cable, level combination gravel/concrete pads), and it is it a nicely treed setting. We had reserved 2 days earlier, got there in the early afternoon, and there was no one in the office or any signs or notes posted telling us what to do. We started to set up when a woman arrived, said the site we took was OK, took our money, and that was it. There was no map, instructions, or information of any kind. Pool (a lovely shade of pond scum green) was closed - supposedly due to recent storms. We did not try the WI-FI since we were told it was weak and spotty. I would advise anyone planning to stop here to call ahead, get a site number, asked what to do when you arrive, and hope for the best. This park has nice sites in a nice setting but everything else you might want in an RV park is lacking. (866) 704-5222 We camped here in a Motorhome.
We were camping at a nearby campground and went by to see if they had upgraded the bathrooms and bathhouses. We had stayed here in Sept. 2006 and the facilities were AWFUL. It is a very nice campground, pretty setting, but if you had to rely on the bathrooms and showers, you should be prepared for a very unpleasant experience. So we checked in on the place almost two years later, and the showers and bathrooms are still disgusting. Supposedly "new owners" took over last fall and new facilities are in the planning stage, we'll see. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Stayed one night. Most "campers" seem to be permanent. Concrete pads. Neighbor was nice. People get up early (some 5:30am) to go to work I presume. Had a heck of a time finding our site as they didn't give a map or escort. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Is it a mobile home park that wants to be an RV park or vice-versa? Seems like it is a little of both. Anyway, the "new" RV section was very nice and clean with big level concrete pads and wide, tree-shaded sites. They have the best pool I have seen yet for kids, big and wide with a huge shallow end. The park is located very close to US Hwy. 61 but there was surprisingly little road noise. A word of caution, I camped here in a pop-up and have to rely on the bath-houses for showers, etc. And they were atrocious. They were small, dim things that were poorly stocked (no hand soap or paper towels in the restrooms) and were filthy. One other thing, apparently Monday is "pool cleaning" day, even if that Monday happens to be Labor Day; they need an exception for closing the pool on major holidays. All in all, it is a clean and comfortable park with a friendly staff. We will probably camp here again, but it sure would be nice if they updated the bath-houses. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
New owner. The mobile home area is being replaced with RV sites as time and money permit. Concrete pads are excellent - wide and level. Shade. Sites large. The park is near a highway but little noise. Very friendly owner. We camped here in a Motorhome.
