    Natchez Trace Parkway - Rocky Springs

    Peaceful Evening in the Trees

    All campsites had a picnic table, fire ring and a grill which were typical of these free NPS campsites. The bathroom facilities were clean with running non-potable water. All of the fire rings and grills were rusty and some of the wooden picnic tables were falling apart but we were one of a few campers this early in the season, so hopefully they'll be attended to before the summer rush. We picked a pull-thru site and lit a fire in the ring and used our own camp chairs and table for a lovely star filled night.

    all Trees, Quiet. A great place to stay overnight on the Natchez Trail

    Nice primitive grounds with pull-through and back-in options. Gave a 1 in service because it is a first come first serve. It is a terrific spot to stop and sleep. We camped at Natchez Trace Parkway- Rocky Springs in a Fifth Wheel. Didnt get a chance to take photos, we arrived at dark and left early morning.

    Natchez Trace Parkway - Rocky Springs

    Looks like a very nice place

    I drove through,  The sites are level, clean and about half a pull through.  Each site has a picnik bench fire pit.  However, I did not stay because it had absolutely no Tmobile cell service and being alone and full time.  I did not feel like camping without it.  I did fine another campground on the same road about 150 miles north east. which I stayed at.

    Natchez Trace Parkway - Rocky Springs

    Great location on the Trace Parkway

    Nice big pull thrus all along the camping loop. Great camping with mostly one-nighterz. Stayed two days in early December and had no issues.

    The campground is a large loop with about 30 sites. Only one bathroom open but everything was clean and garbage service was excellent.

    Walked the loop (about 0.6 miles) several times a day. Our site was about 80 yards from the toilet. Lots of trails through the middle of the loop as a shortcut to the toilet.
