Strange hookups, electric on one side, water on the other, sewer almost too far away. Open field parking, with pretty little trees planted (will be nice when they mature)...Owner friendly, although directions were incomplete. Had to use my 50AMp to 30Amp dogbone to hookup, don't know if it was just my site or all. Right off the Trace, may it real handy. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This place was one of those that is a newish campground that might not look like "wow" but what great people and this was one of the best times we had on a 3 week trip. Though we weren't there on the night of the fish fry, there were enough people that the owner had an impromptu one. Great company and we would stay here anytime coming up the Natchez Trace. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a free National Park Service campground. This is a great campground to use while driving the Natchez Trace. Sites are large and very shaded. It is very peaceful, quiet and dark (at night). There is no registration or fee but there is a campground host. There are rest rooms but no showers. Most of the rigs were large and there was plenty of room between sites. If you can dry camp, this is a wonderful campground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Pretty wooded setting, very quiet in November which was nice. Bathrooms clean enough but simple, no showers or hook-ups but also no fees. There was a water spigot for filling tanks near the bathrooms. Sites nearer the bathroom are more level than the other sites (about #1 through 11) not all sites are big rig friendly but some would probably be fine. This is a wonderful place to stay while exploring the Natchez Trace Parkway. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Busy place, no hook-ups, no showers and one shabby bathroom far from a number of sites, but can't beat price and location. Lots of trees and right on the Natchez Trace Parkway. Some sites looked large enough for bigger rigs but not sure if they would accomodate 40+ footers, we have a 30 ft class A and all sites were big enough for us. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed here in a 40-footer with 4-slides and a tow vehicle. We had been here in 2007. The park needs maintenance, including the road going up to the Phase 2 campground. We were able to get a site that allowed us a satellite signal and a phone signal (Verizon). Personnel were friendly and helpful. We would stay again when traveling the Parkway. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park has a beautiful entrance and great rangers. Unfortunately, this is where the goodness ends. Once you get to the campsites, it all changes. The sites are disgraceful: overgrown, poison sumac growing right where you need to plug in the utilities and totally uneven. Why can't TT invest some of this cash it charges me for maintenance fees? Oh well... We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is indeed a park that has seen it's best days . There appears to be no investment in the park by TT corporate. We unhooked the tow, found a place, went back to the RV, drove down to the site and while we were getting ready to back into the site a guy in a golf cart parks his golf cart there and says the site is taken. TT staff said they would make him move but just goes to show you that not all members of TT are decent. We then picked out another site, backed in, hooked up the electric and nothing. Maintenance came and said it was indeed busted. I then moved to another site. The staff was way behind in their mowing also, lots of tall grass which means more insects which were the abundant. This is not a TT park I would recommend. I am sure back in the 80s or 70s this was a swell place to visit. The convenience store which is half on site and half open to the public had an odd smell, I think it too was just old and moldy. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice park. Lots to do & see both in the park and in the area. Two swimming pools operate in the summer, small boat rental, indoor raquetball courts, a nice exercise room and mini golf are also available in the park. The only reason it is not rated a 10 is because there was no cell phone service available at all in the park. (Not their fault, but it was uncomfortable not having access to our cell service.) We camped here in a Motorhome.
I am so disappointed. I paid all this money for Thousand Trails and the first time we leave Florida, I end up here. This place is run down. The roads are horrible. The sites are better suited for tenter's. Most of them you can not get any sizable RV into. Ticks are everywhere. The rec hall you have to use for Wi-Fi smelled horrible and the A/C was off. I would not return here and will be writing to TT to complain. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We are members of Resorts of Distinction and we were able to stay here for free. Very nice and clean. Everyone was very friendly. We would definitely go there again We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We are Thousand Trails members so we camped here at no charge. The campground is huge and there are some steep hills to climb to get to various "phases" of the park. The main roads are in terrible condition. This was our first visit and we were disappointed that they have been let go without upkeep for apparently a long time. The "town hall" is where activities are held and wireless internet is available. A word of caution: one evening I walked out the exit door to go across a covered walkway to the next building. The door to the next building was locked. I turned around to return to the main building and found myself completely locked out and unable to get off the "bridge" which is many feet in the air above the ground below. Luckily I had my cell phone with me and called my spouse to come "rescue" me. Had I been unable to get a phone signal or had I not carried my phone with me, I would have been trapped out there in the cold rainy night for hours or worse as there was hardly anybody in the park. As the building is supposed to be locked up at 10 pm, I guess I would have been discovered by then. I reported this to the ranger at that time and he apologized and said he may have forgotten to unlock the door. But I saw the same thing happen twice more to two others--including the activities director who said the door lock was defective. That bad experience notwithstanding, we had an absolutely amazingly friendly reception the first time we walked into the "town hall" on Saturday evening of our arrival. A group of people immediately said hello, introduced themselves and asked our names, took us on a tour of the facility (door didn't lock us out that first time!) and invited us to play "baseball" that evening. The ranger who checked us in was also very friendly and helpful. Although it rained and rained most of the time we were there, there was enough of a break in the bad weather to allow putting the kayak in the lake and fishing. Warning--check yourself carefully after walking in the woods. Hubby found 4 ticks on himself a little later. Every site we saw had a concrete patio and was fairly level. We enjoyed our stay here and appreciated the closeness to the Natchez Trace. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Visited in the off season, cold and blustery, but the staff was warm and helpful. Great breakfast in the store/restaurant and Friday fish frys in the summers are legendary according to quite a few locals. Will return!! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We camped here using the Thousand Trails membership. We were in Phase 2, site 2 with full hookups. Would like to have had 50 amp but 30 amp did fine. We had a patio, table, grill. Our internet ,on the roof of our motorhome, worked but we had to use a portable dish for TV due to trees. Our cell phone worked until the last couple days when we had to use the antenna and booster. We enjoy the Natchez Trace Parkway and would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Spent 2 weeks at park while riding the Natchez Trace Parkway via motorcycle. I'm a Thousand Trails member which explains the nightly rate. The exterior roads are getting rough and need some attention. For the most part the interior roads leading to the sites were OK. There is a shortage of rest rooms and I counted only 5 washers and 2 dryers for the entire park. Very few pull thru's and only about 25%-35% of the sites have sewer connections. Plenty of dump sites throughout park. The park and the sites were clean, the workers very friendly, and the lake was beautiful. I enjoyed my stay and would return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Thank God it was only $1 to stay here. The place is an overblown joke. Gravel sites completely ill-maintained. Just an old, rundown, junky has-been campground. Certainly not worthy of the half a million dollar coach that we brought in. What a waste of time. And, they don't tell you that you have to drive off a road and into a ditch to avoid a too-low underpass to get here. This was the first time we had used a Thousand Trails affiliate membership (Western Horizons) and it is definitely the last. To add insult to injury; we had a knock on our door one afternoon while here, from a man soliciting Thousand Trails memberships. When we stay at a park or resort we NEVER expect to be solicited by sales people. This was a complete invasion of our privacy. We'd never return or buy a membership in such a place. We camped here in a Motorhome.
One hundred and twenty six sites are full hookups. Others are water and electric only. We were lucky to obtain a full hookup site. Our site had a patio, picnic table, and standing BBQ. Lots of treed sites. Roads need some repair. Many picturesque sites within an easy drive. Especially the Natchez Trace Parkway. Staff friendly and helpful. We would stay here again.
