Quiet and plesant

They have large flat sites. Some with full hookup some just P/W. Reserve on line. We were there in Feb not busy at all. COE was responsive to bathroom cleaning issue. Host was very friendly. Camp ground is very clean but went for a hike along the shore and the trash was off the chart!!!

Quiet Wooded Sites

Only a total of 14 sites at this campground. Recently added sewer to upper sites to go along with current 50amp and water hookups. Bathhouse was clean and showers worked great. Concrete pads were spacious for just about any size rig. Stayed a few nights while exploring the Oxford, MS area. Verizon signal was okay, not great.

Quiet weekend campsite

This is somewhat of a rustic hidden gem! It’s off the beaten path, so it wasn’t very busy. The sites at the end with the lake view are nice. There is only one bath house, so it’s kind of a far walk from some of the sites. The boat ramp is very close by.

I am giving this one 3 stars because the bathroom was absolutely disgusting!! There appears to be a permanent resident in the campground that I assume is the camp host. Would be nice if they attended to the bathroom more often. Hopefully it was a fluke. Also, the dump station has been blocked by a massive mound of gravel. Not sure what they are planning to do with it.

Hidden gem... but good luck on a dump station

This is a great little campground overall. The sites aren’t too close together, they are pretty level, and there is plenty of lakefront and woods to wander in. There is a dollar general a few miles away for needed supplies. The only real drawback is the fact that they have pretty much made the dump station unusable by dumping tons of rock there. It appears they are working on the shoreline, however, they blocked access to the station when they stored the rock.
