Rating: 9 10 9 8 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Great campground if you are into history. Not too many campers this time of the year. What ever you need take with you because civilization is a long way off. Did get a few ota tv stations. Good hiking in the park but very hilly. - kcarter
Highly recommend. Excellent choice if you want to visit Natchez, travel Natchez Trace and Vicksburg. Paved roads and concrete sites. FHU at very reasonable rate. Laundry facilities are $1 to $1.50 per load! Very quiet and peaceful park..admission to the museum and grounds is included in your camping fee. - Airedale
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Grand Gulf Military Monument Park »This is an absolutely wonderful state Park. It is about 8 Miles off Highway 61 but it is well worth the drive. the setting is lush and beautiful with large trees between most of the lower campground spots The concrete pad was level and easy to back into. R 39 foot fifth wheel fit with no problem with the back and extended over the rear site bumper. The utilities were well-placed and worked well. We got multiple OTA television channels and Verizon service was adequate. The lower section of the campground does not have fire pits however these are available in the upper sections. The upper area has less shade and the sites appear to be much less even. The free shower facility and laundry for the lower section is up a flight of stairs. The laundry room was large and had three washers and .dryers. Cost was a dollar for the washing and $0.75 for dryers. There is a small Museum and several restored buildings on site as well as a very old cemetery from the early 1800s. The drive into Vicksburg was about 40 minutes and there is gas and services along Highway 61. We would definitely stay here again. The office staff and the Ranger were full of information and Incredibly friendly. - bbmidwife

Rating: 9 9 7 6 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Price is for one night E/W $20 fee plus $6 transaction fee (the $6 is only charged one time, not nightly). Beautiful little campground on banks of Lake Bruin, an oxbow lake formed when the Mississippi River changed its course further east. Excellent, friendly service. Verizon and over-the-air TV signals good. Laundry room in comfort station. Restrooms updated and immaculate. Paved road and sites, most pretty level and fairly spacious. Sun/shade mix. - aowcarol
For a fisherman or boater that enjoys time on the water, this is perfect if you have a waterfront site. One pier was right behind our pad and the water was only a few feet away. You could pull your boat right up to the campsite or to a covered boat slip with power at the loading ramp. The sites were close together but the neighbors were wonderful and it wasn't an issue for us. If you need more room, the sites in the middle are a little more spacious. The sunsets are fabulous! Because of lots of rain and river seepage the grounds were grassy and we didn't set foot in the swimming area. It looked swampy with no sand but wasn't something we cared about. There was a water sprinkler play area nearby but also not something we were looking for. Bathhouses were extremely clean but it took quite a while for the water to heat up for a shower. Shower stalls were also very clean, though and the temperature in the room was comfortable. There were no sewer hookups which would have been much nicer for us. We much prefer showering in our camper but didn't want to break their policy about grey water drainage. The pet potty area was centrally located. It was very quiet while we were there during the week. When we arrived on Sat it was packed with people and someone was parked on our pad. We will visit again, though, maybe next July 4th. They are already booked up for this year! - lprice66
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Lake Bruin State Park »Agree with some of previous reviews. Back sites are a little more spacious than the ones by the water. Fair amount of sites are fairly level, but there is a fair amount that slope either backwards or foward, not excessive but enough that blocks would be needed for a motorhome. Park is clean and quiet, only two of us here during the week. Free WIFI works pretty good, thanks LA. Some trees could be trimmed higher for the large RVs. Roads are all paved but are narrow and we did get through ok with 43 ft motorhome, one tight turn needed to back up. Sites all paved. Didn't use bathhouse. We wouldn't stay here if it was close to full, just to close to neighbors for us. Water pressure good, electric good. Site 45 in the open with grass Satellite reception no problem. - FTatcret2013

Rating: 8 6 7 6 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: When we arrived at this free NPS campground, just off of the Natchez Trace, around noon there were no other campers so we had our pick of "sites." It was impossible to tell discrete sites. The campground layout, if there was a layout, looked like it had been done with crayons on a napkin after drinking too much. There was really no rhyme or reason. We finally chose a fairly level area that looked like it might be a site and was out of the road. The setting itself was actually very pretty and certainly calm. No one except us would like notice, but there was the sound of some sort of distant factory. Later on that evening, there were two additional campers that arrived. There are actually not very many sites that would be level and suitable for a big rig. As distinguished from the other two campgrounds on the Trace, there was no faucet for filling a holding tank. There was no dump, but the toilet does have flush toilets. The only park personnel we saw was a maintenance man emptying trash cans. We had planned on staying at this campground for two or three nights, but left after one night as we did not feel comfortable leaving our rig there to explore the area without any other campers there. It is heavily tree covered, but we were able to get satellite for DirecTV using our portable dish and a lot of patience. We did have weak, but usable Verizon voice and data using our booster. Given the reasonable cost (free), we would certainly stay here a night if passing through. - TheJim
Can't complain too much about a free campground. Of the three along the Natchez Trace Parkway, this was the one that had not been recently renovated, though it looked like some work was starting to be done.
There is a mix of pull through and back in sites, most are not level, but all have a paved pads and are relatively well spaced with picnic table and fire rings. The road looping through the campground was in rough shape, with a lot of potholes, but otherwise easy to navigate and unobstructed. Bathrooms (there are no showers) were clean and well stocked. Bear boxes for trash are scattered throughout. On site amphitheater looked as if it had not been used in a long time and was literally falling apart. I saw no staff or rangers, and there were very few other campers on the rainy weeknight I was there. - CyclonicView more reviews and a full list of amenities for Natchez Trace Parkway -- Rocky Springs (NPS Campground) »The Rocky Springs campground, operated by the National Park Service, is on the Natchez Trace Parkway about halfway between Natchez & Jackson. The maintenance of the campground does not match the excellent maintenance of the Parkway itself. The campground is free, first come first served only, no reservations The internal campground road & pads at sites are badly deteriorated asphalt. There are two restroom buildings with one permanently closed. There is no attendant nor a campground host. There is no water except at the restroom sink, no dump, no electric. There are flush toilets. Neither AT&T nor Verizon cellphone service was available. At the end of April, on a weekend, the campground was no more than a third full, so it was very private. The campground is heavily wooded. There are both back-in and pull-through sites. Some pull-throughs could accommodate two big rigs plus two toads. Two pull-throughs were closed due to construction Bad weather brought down many tree limbs and trees in the general area, but the campground saw little more than some wind and rain. A Park Service ranger came by briefly on the Sunday afternoon to check that campers were ok. There were branches and trees down on the Parkway road immediately after the storm. By the next day they were all cleaned up and the road surface was swept clean. - Teardrop11

Rating: 6 9 5 9 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We arrived at 2:20 PM and got the remaining site. We were told that a 'nearby' nuclear power plant was being decommissioned and that many temporary workers have filled up this and all neighboring RV parks. Price reflects Good Sam discount. Electric water and sewer are located at the rear of the sites. Plus, the sewer is 5-6 inches off the ground. So even if we needed the sewer, it would be useless to us. Extra fresh water hoses and a 50 amp extension cord was required to reach those connections. CATV was not available. Sites are gravel/dirt and widely spaced. Gravel interior roads are easy to navigate. WiFi had to be rebooted to get a signal. We were told the system had recently been upgraded by adding two addition antennas. At 3:30 PM before workers returned to the park, the download "speed" was .30 Mbps and the upload "speed" was .81 Mbps. Bathrooms are clean, but require some paint. - BobatRetama
The park hosts are very nice and professional and always available during business hours. The park is well maintained. The rate reflects the monthly rate. Sites are level gravel, groomed frequently. Utilities were good but are located at the rear of the site making for long water and sewer runs. Wi-Fi is good with an occasional outage/degradation in throughput that is, IMO, attributable to the ISP, not the park. Tracfone worked well. OTA TV reception was fair but would fade out occasionally and I'll attribute that to the very tall trees behind our site. - bobkrogstie
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for River Town Campground »They don't have wi-fi. They advertise that they do but they don't. On arrival the lady said. "We have AT&T so good luck getting it". Our cell phone service was terrible there as well. We drove towards Vicksburg to use it. Also, if you leave early they don't give refunds. You get a rain check. That was on their have page of park rules. The park is spacious and clean. The pads are gravel. - 2Old2Worry

Rating: 6 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Big Sand Campground »A Passport America campground. We were drawn by the price and being on our way. Rather far off the highway and actually pretty primative. An ideal campground for those with horses wishing to ride the Natchez Trace National Scenic Trail. They have a barn and outdoor stalls for horses as well as a pasture area. - Paullynn

Rating: 8 7 4 6 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Great for an overnight. Most sites seem to be local live ins, but all are well kept and the folks we met were all friendly. Wifi works better than most, the site was level and it was quiet. We were checked in by a staff member, who was great and told us where to go shopping. It's not a resort, but it's great for a night on the road. - sinjineer
Magnolia RV Park, Jackson, MS. $29.00. This park is OK for an overnight stay, but no longer than that. Mostly long term residents or seasonal occupants. There appears to be 6 or 8 pull through spots for short term or overnight guests. The utilities were functional and in good working order, although the water pressure was a bit weak. Our spot (No. 8) was level and clean. The spots are very close together, we were fortunate that the spots on either side of us was empty, so enough space was available, but if they were occupied then it would have been tight. The park has a nice dog park and play lot with play ground equipment for children, although no children were seen. There is a pool but it was closed for the season. The park manager mentioned a gym, but we did not use it. There is a video library and book exchange in the office. The park was clean and looked to be adequately maintained. Easy access to I-20 without the noise. I would overnight here again. - rwramsey
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Magnolia RV Park Resort »Close to I-20 but without the noise. Quiet park with campers parked close together but enough room to put out slides. Looks like the owner does most of the work/maintenance and there doesn't seem to be enough time for all the chores ...like mowing the grass/weeds throughout the sites. There is a lawn area and a dog park. All hookup were adequate. I consider Magnolia to be a one night stopover on your way thru Vicksburg. We camped here in our motorhome W/toad. 50/50 whether we stay next time or try another park. - Sweatlife
