    Trace State Park Campground

    Nice park but the roads need some help!

    Trace state park is very nice and relaxing. From fishing, kayaking to camping.

    The roads in the park are terrible! That’s the one downside to the park.

    Red Bay RV Park

    Self service RV Park

    Mainly used by Class A RVs coming in for service at the many Lippert, Tiffin & other facilities. We use it as an overnight when it’s near our route, or when there is a govt shutdown and ACE campgrounds are closing

    Large spacious, level sites on gravel. FHU. Envelopes and drop box for payment. No service personnel-just a phone number.

    Just what we needed.

    R & R Vineyard

    Amazing Hosts

    Ruth’s arts are indeed fine, and the wine is even finer. We had an amazing time. Not exactly what you’d expect and not exactly an RV park, though there are electric and water hook ups but no sewer. The wine was your traditional southernly made wines with bit more complexity than I expected. We arrived late and she still offered a tasting and it even ran longer than I had expected which was nice. I highly recommend this place. We even bought a whole bunch of grapes so we could bring em’ home and make jelly. It was lovely. They were lovely. The arts and wine were of course, lovely.

    Tishomingo State Park Campground

    4.5 stars

    The new section - sites 38-62- is amazing! Just perfect. Beautiful large sites with lake views and perfectly paved and landscaped. The rest of the campground needs the same treatment asap and is in rough shape. A very quiet place. The swinging bridge and trail is very cool! The river is fantastic. The only disappointment for us was the lack of swimming opportunities. The pool has long been out of service and swimming isn't allowed in the lake. The river probably has some swimming holes but was flooded and brown when we were there. The people working there are very kind.

    Rich and Ruth are excellent hosts. Rich makes the wine while Ruth is your main host. Quiet little spot with power and water hookups available. As an added bonus on the 2nd and 4h Saturday of every month Ruth makes a home cooked meal for her guests and they bring in local live entertainment.
