RV campgrounds around Vicksburg, Mississippi cluster along the eastern banks of the Mississippi River at approximately 240 feet above sea level. Winter temperatures rarely drop below freezing, making the region conducive to year-round RV camping. Most camping areas sit within 10-15 miles of the Vicksburg National Military Park, providing convenient access to Civil War historical sites.
What to do
Battlefield touring access: Several campgrounds offer strategic locations for exploring the area's Civil War history. "It was very convenient for visiting Vicksburg and the battlefields. I recommend visiting this town. It is cute and could benefit from so more tourism," noted one visitor about Magnolia RV Park Resort.
Fishing opportunities: At Askew's Landing RV Campground, campers can enjoy the 15-acre lake. "I loved this campground. Not a lot of activities but well kept, fairly small. Very friendly people running it. Loved watching the ducks and geese get fed in morning. Would recommend this campground. Sits in a reservoir," explained one guest.
Casino entertainment: For those interested in gaming, casino access remains convenient. "This is a great spot if traveling through this area. Big, clean sites, almost all are pull through," commented a visitor to Rivertown Rose Campground, which provides access to nearby casino entertainment.
What campers like
Quiet setting: Many campers appreciate the peaceful atmosphere at certain parks. "We stayed in November. The sites were gravel and level. They were very close together. It was quiet most of the time," shared a camper at Magnolia RV Park Resort.
Convenience to attractions: Location matters to most visitors. "We enjoyed our stay at this park. It was close to historic downtown as well as the battlefield memorial park. We rode our bikes around the park and rode across the street to the city park," reported a guest at Rivertown Rose Campground.
Swimming options: Askew's Landing RV Campground offers recreational water activities. "The salt water pool was nice, great dog run, clean facilities, ice available. Lots of amenities but no frill," noted a recent visitor.
What you should know
Site conditions vary: Surface conditions and space constraints differ between parks. "The sites are all pull-thru and full hookup, but most are fairly unlevel. Cable tv is available at each site," cautioned a visitor to Ameristar RV Resort Park.
Weather impacts: Seasonal rain affects ground conditions. "Sites were gravel and uneven. Must have rained a lot recently since the ground was soggy and had puddles," commented one Magnolia RV Park visitor.
Cell reception reliability: Connectivity varies by location. "We needed somewhere to stop across our cross country camping trip that I could do an online class. For $46 we had an isolated spot right on the lake and great phone reception," reported an Askew's Landing visitor.
Maintenance conditions: Upkeep varies between facilities. "The bathrooms and showers are clean and modern. There is no bench to put your things on, but hooks and a towel bar are available. There is also a clean and modern laundry room," observed a visitor to Ameristar RV Resort Park.
Tips for camping with families
Pool access timing: Check facility hours when planning swimming activities. "Good little place to stop for a night. Sites were parking lot style. Easy to find and get to, roads were in good condition. Check in was easy. Facilities were clean and taken care of. Pool was nice and clean," noted a visitor about Magnolia RV Park Resort.
Playground availability: Springridge Mobile Estates & RV Park offers some family-friendly amenities. "It's been a few years. It was safe and friendly vibe. The staff was strict in enforcing rules. I enjoyed my stay. Locals will post up here. There was a pool," shared one camper.
Kid-friendly facilities: Rivertown Rose includes features for families. "Nice place, clean showers and good laundry. Decent playground equipment, too. Stayed one night and used all the amenities with my kids," commented a visitor.
Tips from RVers
Hookup positioning: At Cypress Bend RV Park, the setup requires planning. "Sites: 6 with water and electric hookups. Fee: $35.00 per night $185.00 per week $350.00 per month (30 amp) $390.00 per month (50 amp)," shared a visitor who added that the sites are "right beside the highway so it might be noisy."
Leveling requirements: Prepare for potential site leveling challenges at multiple parks. "The staff was excellent and helpful. We stayed for just one night while making our way cross country. The RV park itself was quiet. It took more effort than usual to get level but we did achieve that," noted a visitor to Springridge Mobile Estates & RV Park.
Overnight considerations: When stopping briefly, certain parks offer better amenities. "This is an excellent spot for a stopover with very clean bathhouse and easy parking. This area was very full because of area construction projects and travelling contractors. Quiet except for the inevitable train, easy to find, level," advised a Rivertown Rose visitor.
