Concrete pads: Many campers appreciate level sites for easier setup. At River View RV Park & Resort, visitors note the quality of sites: "Mostly pull through full hookup sites.

Quiet atmosphere: Despite proximity to highways, several parks maintain peaceful environments. "Quiet area outside of Jackson Mississippi. Just 3 miles off the highway. Lots of trees, woods, large pond, fire pits, clean bathrooms, pool, Little camp store," reports a visitor to Askew's Landing RV Campground.
Lake views: Waterfront sites are particularly valued. "We were at site 64, which is directly on the lake. Concrete pad, that was pretty level. 25 dollars a night," notes a Lake Lincoln State Park visitor, highlighting the affordable lakefront camping option.
What you should know
Site spacing varies: Space between sites differs significantly between campgrounds. At Askew's Landing Campground, one visitor noted: "I wouldn't stay here at one of the $30 lawn sites though - almost all of them are direct sun and close together."
Bathroom conditions: Facilities range widely in quality and maintenance. "Bathhouses could use a remodle or painting. Had to explain to my youngest why there are pics of male genitalia etched into the restroom stall walls. Some graffiti was dated several years old," reported one Lake Lincoln State Park camper.
Varied site types: Some parks offer different site quality levels within the same facility. "The drive thru concrete side is nicer than the gravel. On the gravel side (where we stayed) it looks like some live there, the trailers are old and they look trashy. But we made it work being we only ate and slept there."
