We pulled into this place the end of August expecting to stay just two nights. Found out trailer tongue was bent and getting it repaired took over three weeks. This park has great owners, kind and understanding. The staff are all great and treat guests very well. They were very accommodating with our situation. The park is clean and well managed, mostly surrounded by large trees that offer great shade with long pull through sites/full hookups available but also a spacious backins. Restrooms and showers are great! Recently updated, always clean, with excellent water pressure. Pool is huge for a KOA and has a long water slide open seasonally. Laundry room is sufficient and as expected. This park has a few long term campers that make great neighbors. The park store offers both necessities and some cute finds. Close enough to see all Meridian has to offer. Okatibbee Lake was one out favorites on the hot days with a swimming beach. I highly recommend whether for a overnight stop or a longer stay.

Each site is on a level cement pad with full hookups. Only $32 with Good Sam discount.
TravelerEnjoyed our stay, There are a lot of long term lots in the back that are junky, but still it is a nice park.
GuideThe lake is beautiful. Some of the campsites looked like long term sites with a lot of junk around them. This would be a great place to pull an inter tube with a boat. Looked a little sad. It was quiet though.
GuideNo shade in this side of the park, but no worries. We needed a place to stay for the night and they had an opening with full hook ups. There’s a swimming pool, dog park, and bath house. Not to mention the level concrete pads!
Kids would love the fact that there’s a train caboose on site. Convenient, super easy to find a spot, and the lady in the office is super sweet.
GuideWe planned on a 2 to 3 nights and stayed 5 … :). We were at another local site and was looking for a more quite type of place so we could spend time as a family, so I called over to this place and was overwhelmed by the welcome. It was late and dark and both owners (Steve and Patty) took my wife and I on a walk through their park with flashlights to show what we could pick from … I have never heard of such fantastic hospitality. They just purchased the park a few months earlier and have upgraded so much it was almost new. We eventually settled on two sites they said were rarely used because they were in the far back (#26 and #27) and remote.
The next day when we showed up to set up, they had their team already clear the sites and prep for our arrival. One of their team members helped us set up and ensure we were fully ready to enjoy our stay. The site was level and elec/water hook ups. Overall, the site as secluded, quite, private. We woke up to trees all around us and only one RV long term person that we never saw many feet away.
We were told they would come by with a 'honey pot' and empty our tanks so we didn't have to move since we were staying long enough to fill them with normal use … WOW, I didn't have to hook up and move just to dump! They did shared with us and show their portable dump tank they use when they camp … I may pick on up.
The park had new dog runs, wonderful store, excellent help, and easy dump stations. I was concerned because of the location of the spot being at the bottom of a hill, and the owners told us not to worry … if we were not able to pull out, he would for us and didn't make us feel bad at all. The slide was down for the winter, but it was fine.
The park is well off the beaten path so it is quite at night. Enjoyed the late night fires and early morning mists … My son was able to relax for the weekend away from the base.

We were evacuated to North LA for hurricane Ida. We wanted to find something closer after the storm passed. Found this place in a Google search and called to check availability. We figured we'd be out of luck being that we were trying to book labor day weekend. Luckily, a couple spots were available for us and our friends. As soon as we pulled in Kim greeted us and escorted us to our site, helped us back in, and made sure all of our plugs and hoses were long enough to reach. She even had extras available to lend us if needed. She made sure we were all settled in and everything was good before leaving. We couldn't have been luckier to have found this great little campground! After being cooped up in the camper and leashed outside, we were able to bring all of our pups to the enclosed dog play area that had a great big shade tree to run and run and run. Poop bags and garbage cans were convenient there and throughout the park. They had a nice little pool. Nothing fancy, but just what the kids needed. It wasn't busy in there so they had free reign to wear themselves out(after being cooped up in the campers too). There was a playground area right there between the pool and dog run. Then right next to there was the bath house and laundry room. The restrooms and showers were always clean, and I like that a code was needed to get in, I felt safe going there at night by myself. Since we were evacuating for much longer than we expected, we needed to do laundry too. 4 washers, 4 dryers. We were all so upset since between the 2 campers we had at least 5 or 6 loads of laundry needing to be done(between dogs and sick kids). We asked Kim about it, and the appliance people were there the very next day to fix all of them. She did say they come out once a week to check them all, but I'm sure she had something to do with their quick arrival. The campground is only a few minutes away from the city. There's walmart, walgreens, multiple grocery stores, dollar stores, and so much more. I was even able to bring our pup to a vet'soffice to get his nails clipped. Since we were there for so long we even found specialty coffee shops, nail shops, and an RV supply store all within about a 10 or so minute drive. They also have great wifi! Many of the spots were cement and beautifully leveled. We met a few really great people there, some that were camping, others that were also evacuated, and a couple that were staying there long term for various reasons. We were so lucky to have found Sleepy Hollow to stay when we needed a place most and we can't go back! Thank you Kim for being so gracious and welcoming!

Our family of 5 (young kids) stayed for the weekend. A four day weekend would have been perfect. Our site was easy to get into and relatively easy to level. Full hookups. Activities included swimming, splash pad, hiking, disk golf, fishing, kayak rentals, and playgrounds. They are about to close the park for the season to renovate. All the pads are about to be concrete and I think they are fixing some of the space issues(some spots are currently tight to get into). We will be back next year.
GuideWe were looking for a place to overnight. We found this place on the dirt. Full hookups, swimming pool, bath house, dog park, fishing lake, and oh yes! There is a train caboose on site. No real shade, but no matter. LEVEL CONCRETE PAD!
GuideWe had a group of is that came to Clarkco for Labor Day weekend. It was a medium sized campground d, with good activities.
We parked our skoolie in an RV spot. The non-premium RV spots are a little oddly set up and can seem cramped, but we enjoyed our spot. The lakeside premium spots are where we will park next time. The bathrooms were nice and they also have a laundromat
My husband and friends canoed/kayaked and enjoyed the lake. Not much luck fishing though. We went on a small trail as well.
Camp store is slowly being restored. Not many options, but they are actively trying to add more supplies.
TravelerWe stayed there while working in MS. The owner was very nice and kept the place clean and kept a close eye on the campground. He lives on the grounds. there is a small store, water slide and swimming pool. and a club house on the grounds. I had heard during summer months they have a breakfast concession stand. They have full hooks up 30 & 50 amp, sewer, and water. We had great water pressure in our shower. I would recommend this campground. The campground is a bit off the beaten path, and you pass a salvage yard that is and eye sore, but don’t let that detour you from staying at the park.

We arrived a little later in the evening however.. gayle was awesome! She met us right out front of the main gate and explained the amenities that were available to us and how to easily access our campsite. Other then some non enjoyable chatty Kathys talking by our vehicles and aimlessly walking around like they had nothing better to do.. it was a great experience. They have full hookups and water as well as very clean restrooms and hot shower facilities. The camp area itself is very spacious with more then enough space between spots. I would recommend and would again.
GuidePark is specious, nice big level site on asphalt - we didn't need to put blocks at all. Right of the river. The bad: too many bugs, ok we are in the humid south b, on the river, so bugs are to be expected. But, even with insects repellent - they still came, no relief. We had to be inside the RV. Other issue: no trash cans nearby. Ok, so we are fine with 1 trash for several sure. But no, the 1 trash was at the entrance, 300 yards away. More: you can go and swim in the river even when it's 10ft away. You have to go to the day camping , all the way on the other side of the trv parking. Internet for ATT is bad, maybe 1mb/sec download. If it wasn't for the beautiful setting I would give it just 3 stars. But the river is so nice, so 4stars
GuideIt is very easy to drive your rig in this park. I have read some reviews where people talk about the drive into the part as being horrible. When you leave I 20, you drive down a county road. It is the typical width of a county road. So just slow down and it is no problem. We drive a 44’ fifth wheel with a dually truck. Some sites have concrete(not in the best shape) and some have gravel pads. There are many trees but the park keeps them trim away from the roads. It was great to have shade. There is full hookup pull thru sites along with some back in sites. There are plenty of areas to walk your dogs along with a nice enclosed dog park. There are many activities for children– a large sandbox, pool, a water slide, playground, tether ball and a game room. This park is about 2 miles off I 20. It is very quiet. There are a few long timers but primary people stopping for one night Each night it is full and then empty by noon the next day. We were there for several months and paid$525 for the month. This included electricity. When we originally arrived, our plan was to stay one month to visit family. But due to some health issues with ourselves and our family, we ended up staying for over 6 months. The best part of this park is the staff. Each staff is friendly, welcoming and will do anything possible to make our staff so wonderful. The staff take meticulous care of the park including picking up daily all the cigarette butts that people think they can just leave on the ground. Due to their service, they get a lot of repeat customer visits.

Stayed here Nov 15-17, 2021.
This place was decent with a beautiful charm. They had all we needed, and ease of access to facilities was great! I will say, it was a tad confusing coming in even with a map. It was dark when we were able to arrive, which might have made it somewhat harder to find our spot. Our site was back in, and pretty tight. (most spots were tight) Once we could see it clearly in the morning, it was evident how little room for error was actually there. Used the pool, (kid insisted) it was clean and nice. Slightly cold being November, but it was great otherwise. For the women's bathroom, it was the nicest bathroom I've seen at a campground. The men's isn't as updated, but still nice. Props for the nice facilities! Laundry included in that. Wifi was pretty good.
One bugaboo was our neighbor's hookup situation. They had their tank hose set up to drain down the side of the hill. Their site and ours was not full hookup. We notified management, and we were told they thought maybe the person was just flushing out new tanks with just water. That it was the person's first, new camper. The person had set up the camper and left it setting there with the hose hooked up as described above. It was unsettling, regardless of the reason. They also didn't seem overly concerned to check it out and remedy.
Overall, it was a good campground to be at for a couple nights. Was glad to have 24 hour access to laundry and access to nice restrooms/showers.
Guide
The camp ground has two areas along the access Road. Both areas are first come first served. These are sites without power or water hookups, or self contained rustic camping. Sites would allow car, van or larger campers/RV’s. No running water, but toilet facilities. Near dam and lock on ALABAMA river.
Traveler
We ventured to this campground not knowing what to expect. It did not disappoint! The sites were spaced further apart than many of the other campgrounds we've been. It was quite and peaceful. There were only a few other folks camping at the same time as us but we spoke to a Park Ranger who mentioned it does fill up sometimes on peak weekends. We camp in a pop-up so we rely on the bath houses - these were clean and the showers were hot! Each site had a picnic table and fire ring which also seconds as a grill. I didn't scout out every site but ours was in excellent condition. They don't "over-manicure" the space between the lake and campsites so it feels more natural and tucked into nature than other places we've been (which we prefer). Better for the environment. Each RV site had a decent sized parking pad, water hook up, electric hook up; no greywater drain so make sure you take a basin. The sewer dump/trash are located just as you exit the campground like most places. There's also a primitive section where you park in a lot and walk to your site (those were $7/night). We were there during the 2020 Covid debacle so payment was made to the honor box. I assume it's always like that but that may not be true when there isn't a pandemic. There are two different swimming areas and a boat dock just across the lake from the camp. Highly recommend!

We camped in site 17 in a 40’ motor home and had plenty of space. Nice concrete pad, fire ring and picnic table. The lake is beautiful and water is clear. There is a swimming area but it was too cold to swim. The bath house is great and has a washer and dryer. Public golf course on drive into campground. Camp host was great and gave us our space. We will definitely be back.
GuideWe stayed here to visit our son in the local NAS and has easy access. The welcome was great (Beverly and Jean!). They let us have our pick of the spots in the park and even offered their golf cart to use instead of walking … thank you! There are two areas to the park really (large gravel parking lot area to allow big rigs to pull through easily … and … smaller back in for more private stays. We chose the parking lot corner because we would be there only for a couple of nights. The road noise was loud, so next time we would stay in the more private area. Our spot had plenty of space, easy back in, easy hook up (full), and level. WiFi worked good. Right across the street is the local lake that you can walk around and get good exercise in however it was raining for us so we drove it instead … just beautiful. If you have a one night or a large right … this is a good place!
ScoutnIce park next to tombigbee river, has 2 play areas,a boat launch (free to launch for campers), pull through pads with awesome view of river. only thing is that is does not have sewer hook up but has dumping station
Scoutsome sites better than others, sewage hook up available , splash pad for kids and nice swimming, bath house clean and close. The only down side is garbage cans not at sites,has to be carried to trash bin
GuideA great quite overnight stay. Very clean pool and surrounding not much to do around are as in shopping just a truck stop B4 getting to the KOA.
ScoutLake Claude Bennett is a beautiful lake with nice, clean sites. Each site is equipped with water and power, but no sewer hookup. There is, however, a dump station for your convenience. Camp sites are “first come, first serve” and fee are paid via drop box.
GuideWe met our camper (and her prior owner) here at ClarkCo State Park. A perfect place to be introduced to her, complete our purchase and get oriented to our new (to us) camper. Lake side, lots of tree coverage has helped the August 95degree MS temps. Friendly neighboring campers, lots of kids swimming and kayaking. We even took the time to walk a trail or two. Dog friendly, easy hook ups. Prefect first camping experience so far.
GuideThe people running this Koa were very friendly. The cabins are comfortable with an a/c unit. The kids love the elaborate slide built into the hill and the snack bar at the pool. This place is nothing fancy -but simple and just what we needed. There was access to a small general store, showers and laundry facility. There is a nice quiet area to hang hammocks and chill out. We cooked hot dogs and marshmallows in the campfire ring one night. Each cabin has a swing in front. There are several good restaurants nearby in Meridian. Great, restful weekend trip.
GuideHome of the longest water slide in Mississippi, this KOA is a great place to stay. The staff is incredibly friendly and the facilities are clean and updated. Camp sites are relatively spread out, especially the sites for smaller campers and tents. Great place for kids, with the pool, slide, game room and very small playground. There supplies store but it doesn’t have much in it. There weren’t many people staying when we did, so was a nice quiet stay.
Check in time is 2pm, check out noon. The slide is only open Saturday and Sunday from 2pm-6pm. Pool is open daily from 10am- 8pm.
GuideGreat little lake with a beautiful view. Our Verizon Phone picked up well. Loved the hiking trails around the lake. Well maintained. We stayed on site 31, a pullthrough. Two fire pits and a very large area to play areound the camper. Not a lot of campers in the off season. Will definitely be back with kayaks. The other loop had a private swimming spot. How cool is that?
