What campers like
Spacious cabin sites: Visitors appreciate the roominess at many cabin locations. "The sites were large and shady and level," noted a camper at Paradise Ranch RV Resort, which offers both RV sites and cabin accommodations throughout the property.
Wildlife encounters: Many campers mention animal sightings as highlights. "This ranch is huge so you need some form of wheels, even if you just bring a bike. Driving in, the kids could not stay seated as there were likely HUNDREDS of deer and a few pigs roaming," explained a visitor who enjoyed the unique experience at Paradise Ranch.
Clean facilities: Hattiesburg/Okatoma River KOA receives consistent praise for maintenance. "This was the nicest campground we stayed at on our 4 week trip. The bathrooms have granite countertops, and very nice tile. I wish we'd brought our dog because they had a professional quality bathing/grooming room with a professional dog dryer," stated one impressed visitor.

No loud golf carts this week either!" mentioned a visitor who stayed at Little Black Creek Campground & Park, which offers both RV sites and cabin rentals.
Tips from RVers
Site selection: Choose wisely based on preferences for privacy or views. "We decided to go find other back-in sites and were glad we did because it gave us more room between sites and we had a great lake view," recommended a visitor to Paul B. Johnson State Park.
Road conditions: Some parks have narrow roads that can be challenging for larger vehicles. "Roads in the park were asphalt. Campground roads were narrow and there were no signs at intersections in the campground indicating which loop to take for which campsite numbers," warned a visitor to Percy Quin State Park.
Seasonal considerations: Weather impacts site conditions significantly. One visitor to Percy Quin noted, "This particular site was very close to the water, which is why we chose it, however immediately next to our camper was a very steep drop off which made it impossible to set up our camper mat and outdoor cooking supplies next to our outdoor kitchen."
