    This is a beautiful park!

    We loved the park. Great for walking our dogs. The only issue was the poor road maintenance in getting to our campsite. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay tremendously and will definitely recommend to friends and family.

    Labor Day weekend

    From the get go at checking in we noticed how laidback and friendly the staff was. We stayed in #26 which has an incline to park the RV which wasn’t a big deal for us. We liked that on the passenger side are view was woods with the lake. The restrooms could used an updated for sure but still very usable. Fishing off the fishing docks was great! Spacing between sites is decent with trees between at most sites. Very friendly family quiet campgrounds.

    Gate locked after hours

    Arrived at the park a little after 11pm and the gate was locked with a sign saying “Closed 10pm-6am.” On the website it said “first come first serve.” Very disappointing, ended up driving another 30 min and booking a hotel.

    Perfect Layover Dog Friendly

    It's the perfect place to stop while traveling through. There are spacious spots, a short nature trail, a swimming area on the lake, and one good restaurant just down the road.

    There are some spots right on the lake.

    Beautiful

    We were in site 4 on the lake. Beautiful view! Grounds could use some updating but we really enjoyed our stay here.

    Wooded sites, clean

    Stayed on a weekend in March. Campground was about 80% full. Bath and showers were clean. Concrete pad with adjacent gravel area for screen room, tent, etc. Laundry facilities were closed during our stay. Paved bike trail nearby. Limited walking trails within the campground. One dump station and trash collection area near the check-in. Good Verizon signal.

    A lot has changed since some of these reviews

    This seems a very typical NFS campground. Lots of spots some with electric and water and a number which are primitive. It is rustic. The electric service has an open ground situation so my camper wouldn't take it which was fine but a lot of the year could be an issue. There are bathrooms and private showers. I did not need or use the facilities but they were clean and seemed functional. I am literally the only camper here which frankly I think is wonderful. Tons of places to walk and a lot of nice views of the lake. I will definitely be back and use it for an overnight on my way out or back to my winter location.

    Exactly fits the description

    Nice park with 3 loops and a few short trails. Reservation on recreate.gov and my spot was $30 a night which feels a bit steep but seems to be the going rate. The spots are not private at all but there are trees.

    October in lots 40 and 42

    The campground was full for the fall holiday. However, the energy was great. It was our first time at the park. The hosts were very helpful. The showers and bathrooms are dated but clean. The best views are located on the water in the lots 80-85. Level spaces and easy to back in.

    Great solo camping experience

    Campsite was great. Beautiful lake and not crowded. Night time was quiet. Really enjoyed the views and relaxing environment. This is a great location to disconnect, but do not expect the amenities other sites offer (bathrooms, electricity, water, etc.).

    Nice Muni site

    Last minute stop at this small muni campground/park. Clean grounds with friendly host. Photo from our site #7 overlooking the lake. Non campers kicked out at 8pm and gates are locked. All campers get a key for after hours entry/exit. Beautiful little spot.

    Small but quiet and cheap

    Small campground attached to a public use park. Gated after dark with older but usable bathrooms and showers. 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.

    Can’t beat the price at $22/night. We stopped in for a night in our teardrop trailer on our way farther up north.

    Tupelo is 30 minutes away with the Elvis Birthplace museum and other attractions. There’s a gas station at the entrance to the park for snacks and ice.

    Open in 2023

    Quiet, peaceful and cheap. No shower or bathroom facilities. Water has plenty of pressure, and runs clear after a few seconds. Surprisingly nice weather and no mosquitoes or gnats. Free firewood, and portajons on-site

    Pretty State Park

    Nice campground in a state park with a lake. Campground is super small. Bathrooms are adequate. Poor cell service with AT&T and if you have starling it won’t work due to all the trees. Still, I really liked this campground. Small, intimate, tons of shade. Sites easy to get into. If you don’t have to have internet for work, this is a nice place to relax

    Hardly any other people around. Very run down and lots of bugs. Stopped over here for a quick camp spot on a road trip, and it was fine for this. Wouldn’t go out of the way to come back

    Maiden voyage

    This was our first trip with our RV. The campground was well maintained with level parking pads. Bath house was clean. Lake was great for kayaking and fishing.

    Nice quiet CG on the water

    We are full-timers in a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow. We were in site 049 for just one night in mid March. The CG is very clean, quiet, peaceful and well maintained. The pads are all concrete with gravel picnic table areas and most sites have reasonable separation.

    AT&T coverage was quite good, with 2-3 bars of 5GE and speeds of ~12 MB/s. We were not able to get DISH coverage on any of the western satellites at our site do to the area being heavily wooded. We were able to get 15 OTA channels with our omni antenna. Our site had an open area next to it so we were able to get decent Starlink coverage, with only intermittent dropouts and speeds of 4+ MB/s, but most of the other sites wouldn’t fair so well.

    For long term guests

    We were travel through on our way to Gulf Shores, looking for a one night stay. The sites are level and on concrete. The water connection was was underwater and a little sketchy to connect to.

    One of Our Favorite COEs

    The campground(CG) is easy to find. They opened the check-in gate as we arrived a little before 3:00 PM. The very friendly lady at the gate quickly checked us in, and we were off to the first and only loop that was open in early January. We paid$12.50 with America the Beautiful Pass. We proceeded to site 6 with water& electric(50/30/20 AMP) and backed in with no issues. Site 6 is a wide site, so we had no problems parking our F450 after we unhitched. The CG was not very full this time of year and middle of the week though several rigs came in around dusk. The water pressure as is the norm at most COEs, was over 60 psi, so we used a reducer. We got a fair amount of OTA channels and 4 bars on Verizon. Satellite would have been iffy in this site due to the trees. Whitten has really nice trails that weave down through little valleys to and from the river, which were really nice for walking our dogs. We’ve stayed here before, but this time was just an overnighter. This campground is a great base camp to explore the area and especially the Elvis attractions around Tupelo. In addition, Piezons Pizza in Fulton is one of the best pizza places we’ve come across in our travels. We highly recommend this CG.

    Picturesque lakeside sites with full hook up

    State park campground with full hookups in the woods on the lakeshore. Park is just off the Natchez Trace. Sites are adequately spaced and sorta level and paved. Beautiful sunsets picturesque tree lined lake. Deer Run bath house is showing its age, but Eagle Ridge’s is much newer, and it includes a coin laundry and a party room. Park roads are in serious need of repair
