Great spot….buuuuut!!

Came in late, after dark, so could not pay for anything until morning (actually writing review before, but shouldn’t be an issue). The morning light brought a few pleasant surprises. We stayed at #15 which was on the farther side and so to my surprise in the morning: a CABOOSE was adjacent to us. Yup, a rusting out old railroad caboose. Was quite cool/rustic feeling.

Our spot (and the adjacent two others) have a nice grassy area and a little more open to the sky (I prefer, not all do). 110v outlets were perfect as we only have a roof-top tent. The access road is level and easy. The picnic tables are old but completely fine. Feels like they do stain/seal them often to make last. Fire pits/grills were well positioned but could use a bit of digging out. No shovel with me on this trip.

The big detractors: the ONE shower is almost unusable due to moisture damage and possible mold (maybe just mildew). It was too chancy for us to use. Definitely dropped a full star on that alone. The rest of the bathroom was OK. Lotta bugs, ants and spiders. Maintenance seems weekly more than daily. If workers read this….needs a strong fan in bathrooms and showers (blowing and pulling air).

Overall a great spot. I’m rare to give 5 stars so a four is great had bathroom been better. This also does not include experience with staff/office as yet to do so. May update but I forget to add reviews if I wait.

Amazing

Stayed one night, very quiet and a few nice and fun things to do. Had a fire ring to cook for the night or just to enjoy a fire. 2 nice picnic tables and a good place for a tent. Can drive your car right to sight. Tent and camper sights.

Small, no frills, nice trail and museum nearby

We wanted to be near Jackson, Ms, but not too near. This fits the bill. Lot of trees, very small and private - only 15 sites, most were empty. Clean bathrooms and great showers. Drive thru sites mostly. Sites have 30 amps(not sure about 50), water and sewer. Good 5G connection on AT&T
