We do not like traveling far off our route to stop for the night. We also prefer to pay for FHU and this was $42 for us with military discount. This park is literally 1/4 mile off of I-10 (you hear the traffic, which did not bother us). The spots are a little tight, but there were a lot of vacant spots so we did not feel crowded. A dog run and nice big mowed field were available for our dogs. Not much immediately nearby, but the town of Monticello is about 4 miles north of the park with a Winn Dixie and other small merchants. A simple overnight stop along I-10. we would stop here again. A single washer ($2.00) and dryer ($1.50) was helpful. If you can get spot #1, that's what I would ask for. Safe Travels.
