What to do
Fishing opportunities: Howard Stafford Park Campground offers lakeside camping with fishing docks. "The campground is next to a big county park with a playground, boat ramp and fishing docks. Nice walking paths along the lakes edge provides a great place for a view of the sunset," notes Stacey in their review of Howard Stafford Park Campground.
Local exploration: Corinth (30 minutes from Belden) features historic attractions for day trips. "Borroum's Drug Store and Soda Fountain is a throwback in time and a great place to get lunch. Get there early though, as they fill up fast," advises MickandKarla W. from their stay at Cross City RV Park.
Water recreation: Several parks feature lake access for swimming during summer months. "The land and lake are beautiful," shares Mike B. about his experience at Moon Lake Farm, noting the property includes "a short trail that goes around the property and a beautiful lake to enjoy."
What campers like
Convenient layouts: Multiple campgrounds offer thoughtfully designed sites. "This is a small 15-spot campground but they have pull-through sites for some large RVs. Full hookups on all sites," reports Cindy C. about Cross City RV Park.
Privacy options: Some parks offer more secluded camping experiences than others. "Last minute stop at this small muni campground/park. Clean grounds with friendly host. Non campers kicked out at 8pm and gates are locked. All campers get a key for after hours entry/exit," explains Jim A. about his stay at Howard Stafford Park Campground.
Affordable rates: County and municipal campgrounds often provide good value. "Can't beat the price at $22/night. We stopped in for a night in our teardrop trailer on our way farther up north," reports Simon C. from Howard Stafford Park Campground.
What you should know
Size limitations: Several parks have restrictions on large rigs. "Sites are extremely close together. Not my idea of 'recreation'," warns Jim A. about Lakelife RV Park, while another reviewer notes the gravel parking lot setup.
Reservation policies: Advance booking is essential at popular campgrounds, especially during peak seasons. "This campground is huge with tons of stuff to do for families and large groups. RV sites are mostly long term and very full. If you are looking for just an overnight, my advice is to keep looking," advises Wendy T. about Natchez Trace RV Park.
Seasonal operations: Operating schedules vary between campgrounds. "Small park right on the lake. Can get busy during the weekends. Full hookups and concrete pad," reports Oscar D. about camping at Howard Stafford Park Campground.
Tips for camping with families
Splash pad access: Howard Stafford Park includes water features for children. "Has a splash pad, a basketball court, and several piers on the lake for fishing. You can hear cows in the distance from across the lake," describes Simon C. from his family stay at Howard Stafford Park Campground.
Camp store conveniences: Some parks offer on-site supplies. "This is a new campground located near tupelo, Mississippi. They have a central fire ring with swings, a small camp store, laundry room, and bathhouse," notes E.M. about Lakelife RV Park.
Pet policies: Rules regarding pets differ significantly between parks. "There's no dog area, but plenty of room to walk your pups," shares a reviewer about Cross City RV Park, while Natchez Trace RV Park prohibits pets entirely.
Tips from RVers
Leveling challenges: Terrain varies significantly between campgrounds. "Good location as no other RV sites nearby. Just passing through so only 1 night. Water and electric. Noisy and site on slight hill / could not get level. Over priced for what you get," warns Dallas W. about Love's RV Hookup.
Access considerations: Entrance conditions may present challenges for certain vehicles. "Driveway is a bit steep pulling in and out. I did not have a problem with a 36' TT but a low sitting RV with a long rear overhang may have trouble getting in/out without scraping," cautions Chip K. about Cross City RV Park.
Overnight versus extended stays: Some parks better suit short-term versus long-term camping. "This is a very peaceful stop with 30 amp power and water available. Well kept and very nice host. John communicated with us perfectly," shares Mike B. about his overnight experience at Moon Lake Farm.
