    Yogi on the Lake

    Looks like it would be fun in the summer

    We stopped quick passing through and it was nice an quiet. Seemed like they had a lot of water activities for summer time. We will definitely be back in the summer for a visit.

    Our site was a very tight pull thru site. We definitely wouldn't of been able to pull out if the park was full. The site was very sloped so getting in the camper was difficult because the steps were so high off the ground.

    Timberlanes Campground & Dude Ranch Resort - Permanently Closed

    Not a functional camp grund

    When I was a kid this place was nice but .. I called and was told to just to show up. When we did there was no one around. The place looks to be abandoned. We went to nearby lake Lincon. But staying there was not a option. The hookups were there but the grass was taller than they were .

    Turkey Creek Water Park

    On the Turkey Creek reservoir

    By “water park” they mean “park with recreation activities on the water” not a man made park with slides and rides. This was devastating news for our friend’s young daughter! Enjoy fishing and especially water skiing with your own boat or a boat rented on site. There is mountain biking and hiking (all easy trails), a sandy beach, and just a nice relaxing atmosphere. The campgrounds are simple but modernized, moderate size, . They have a large building to rent for reunions.

    Yay: great peaceful area with classic MS views. Wooded and private campsites.

    Nay: costs a little more to access the lake (not bad, just a surprise). Not too far from Jackson so it felt a little crowded.

    Surprise: we stayed here when the sites in the nearby National Forest were full and enjoyed it so much we added a day to our trip. That you can rent boats on site makes it so much easier!

    Yogi on the Lake

    No thank you

    Nicki Ammons is the rudest GM I have ever met. She was constantly yelling and screaming at people in person and on the phone. I even heard her call someone a bitch on the phone. She was rude to us because we were staring at her. Doesn’t she have an office?? Why is she on the campground yelling and cursing people out. Obviously we were staring she was so loud the animals in the woods could hear her. You don’t even want to know what she said to us for staring. I hope she doesn’t have children. She’s the devil.
