        Many sites decorated for Halloween. Even little trick or treaters. Many sites on the river. Cool to watch the working barges going by. And lots of armadillos.

        RV spots are suitable for car camping, although a bit close together with bright street lights and showers are outdated. Still, the camp host treated me kindly, and I enjoyed the scenery and walkability!

        Free camping on the Natchez Trace

        Paved pull through sites are first come first serve. They seem to over lap and lots of folk share the sites. So you may need to back up to get out, even if it is pull through.
        Flush toilets. Picnic area. Nice nature walk to a view, 1 mile each way.

        Off the beaten path. Power and water available for reasonable price. Walking the property was fantastic for us and our dogs. We were fortunate to be there on the last Saturday of the month, when they host a dinner and live music. With just 7 of us, including the 2 hosts and the musician, it was a very neat experience. Even had a “sing along “!!!! This is why we love Harvest Hosts. You would never get an experience like this anywhere else.

        Dump Station!

        This is a great place to dump your tanks. Only one problem and we expect it to be resolved soon. The charge is $5.00 but there is no one to pay! The sign claims you can pay in the park, the dump is outside the park, at the entrance or exit. Afterwards we continued to “in the park” to pay with our 53’ rig with car in tow. We looked for a place to pay we gave up and had to try to turn around running over the curb with Motorhome and car we thought we should just mail the fee. A BOX AT THE DUMP STATION SEAM TO BE A SIMPLE FIX.

        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.

        Can anyone tell me about the primitive camping? My husband and children are planning a camping trip for this weekend over Mother’s Day, we are new to the neshoba county area. I see that fishing has great reviews, but what other amenities are there? Are pets allowed (on leash of course), kids friendly?

        This campground was amazing. Our site was right off the lake. The scenery was beautiful, it was quiet, the sites are pretty spread out. Camp sites 3-12 is where you want to be. There is a playground for kids, a boat dock if you have one, or you can just fish right off your site. The camp host was a very helpful and sweet man. We loved this campground and will definitely be back.

        Quiet and peaceful

        Sites 5 and 8 are our favorite. Really, any site on the small lake is great. Those are the smaller number spots. Almost always one available. Large hands in the smaller lake. I haven't even had a bite in the larger lake. This is our local campground and we go a few times a year. No WiFi and very little cell signal, as camping should be. We love it.

        Worst Campground, but Cheap!

        PROS

        CONS 

        No personnel at entrance gate at 1pm and again at 230pm but was at gate 415pm Phone number posted at entrance gate office so I called, but no one answered so left voice message. Still waiting on a call back…yes still...

        RV? Great! Tent? Not so much…

        Quiet except for the sounds of nature. A river runs thru it. Well, next to it. Paved roads X throughout, with was huge for me on a motorcycle. But, the grassy area for my site was all red ants and bull ants. The "pad" was pea gravel, impossible to stake my tent. And, the super nice man running the place informed me I was to set up on the pad. @ The weather called for rain and I was worried about wind.

        RV camping and boat ramp

        This is a well maintained site and it is quiet/uncrowded. This site provides about 10-15 camper spots, and there is a small office were you would pay for a spot. There is no place for primitive or tent camping. Not much recreational area also. There is a boat ramp, but it was very shallow and dried up around the shore. A public bathroom is provided, not sure of the quality though.
