but it's close to town

Location is next to the freeway and yes, it is loud. Sites are close together, you CANNOT choose your site they will place you where they want. Staff not very friendly. Price is $55/night $50 for Good Sam Club.

What a gem!

We loved this place. From inside the park it’s hard to believe you’re so close to the city. 2 mins from restaurants and shopping. Sites are pull through and on gravel. Relatively close to one another but not bothersome.

Great overnight

Nice park with pull through at late notice , great staff. Close to town but didn’t visit. Reasonable at $40. Some sites have Wi Fi I think. Short nice walk and area for dogs. Not far from freeway.

Could be better

It’s location in proximity to Tupelo is awesome. The showers are nice and clean. 90% of the sites are shaded. The price is high. Especially for a place that can’t keep the WiFi active.
