    Jeff Busby Campground, Milepost 193.1 — Natchez Trace Parkway

    Great FREE and cozy camping

    This site is a very popular one night stay about mid-point on the Natchez Trace Parkway. The way the campground is constructed makes this a unique place to stay.

    The campsites are very close together causing lots of social interactions. That's the best and worst thing about the campground.

    The park service provides nice bathrooms, garbage cans throughput the campground, picnic tables and multiple pullouts.

    The park also has a paved road and hiking trail to a viewpoint. The road is less than a mile and the trail is over a mile and has some good elevation changes.

    We enjoyed the atmosphere of frequent conversations with other campers. Some kept to themselves...we just waived and smiled.

    Peaceful

    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.

    Friendly Creek-Side Find

    RV spots are suitable for car camping, although a bit close together with bright street lights and showers are outdated.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!

    Off grid quiet and beautiful.

    Beautiful small park. Great riverside pull thru spots. All spots are sizable. Lots of wildlife. Hosts are very helpful. Off grid and quiet with the occasional boat.

    Retriever Hunt Test

    We stayed here with 3 dogs and it could not have been better! The bathhouse was amazing and we practically had the park to ourselves! Dogs loved running around smelling all the smells!

    Small but decent

    There isn't a lot of space but the bathrooms were decent and they had water spigots and trashcans set up at intervals. It was clean and a pretty area.

    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.

    Quiet in Feb

    Nice river front sites on the Ten-Tom waterway. You get to watch river barges approaching the lock/dam. HOT showers. Facilities are aging but in good condition.

    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.

    Bucolic Beauty

    Just the basic services (worked well), but the setting is well worth the five mile drive off the interstate. And a short journey up a narrow gravel drive. Jr is a great host, personable and helpful. He had me back up in the gravel space until we were very level. We used our own phone connections for streaming.

    Great family getaway

    Shady & spacious campground along the Tenn-Tom with a boat ramp on calm water just off the main channel. Take your bikes and kayaks!

    Beautiful

    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.

    Great for a weekend getaway

    Busy campground but enough space so it doesn’t feel like your neighbors are right on top of you. Plenty of shade and many spots have a direct view of the Tenn-Tom Waterway.

    Loved the beach and trails!

    Overall, this is a very nice and convenient campground. We really enjoyed the beach area and the trails. Lots of mountain bikers throughout the weekend. It did have shower houses but we did not use any because we lucked out and got a full hook up site I will say most of the sites are not level, I have some broken concrete and need some TLC. We stayed in the B loop and loves the proximity to the playground and beach. Seems like there could have been numerous full-time residents staying in Loop A.

    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 

    Over 65 discount resulted in$15/night 

    Quiet 

    Moveable Wooden metal picnic table in good condition on concrete slab 

    Pedestal BBQ grill 

    Toilet/shower building has AC 

    Clean toilet/shower building 

    Ample TP, paper towels and soap available in toilet/shower building 

    Trash barrel at each campsite 

    Park very close to Louisville

    2 bars T-MOBILE


    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...

    Site reservation posted to site electrical box which is not viewable from roadway 

    No ranger drive thru campground 

    No park host 

    Not dark sky friendly as there are street lights at sites 15 and 11 with 3 street lights at the toilet/shower building 

    Few of the 15 sites here are level side-to-side. We had to get creative in our site #4 as when parked on the asphalt pad we did not have enough leveling equipment so had to straddle pad with door side on the gravel. 

    Huge pot holes in the asphalt parking pass site 

    #4 No campfire“ring” at campsites so we just has a fire on the ground 

    No privacy from any other site 

    Shower curtain for toilet stall “doors” in both men and women 

    No park WIFI

    Good times

    Really nice state park. Recently updated picnic tables. Nice quiet spots. We tent camped on a camper spot. Only complaint is that the showers could use a good remodeling, very dated. Other than that had a great time.
