I recently stayed at Movietown RV Park and had an exceptional experience! The amenities were top-notch, and the park was clean and well-maintained. For anyone planning a visit, I highly recommend you to must go. It was incredibly handy during my stay, providing a variety of entertainment options to enjoy during downtime.

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.
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.
It is a unique place just north of a dam ( low head dam ) that has another park and boat ramp for fishermen and a very friendly family owned bait store between the parks Tripp family store ! Non ethanol gas 6am to 6 pm grill is open ,
Clean, we were here Thanksgiving weekend. Loved every minute. Flushing toilets. Free water. NO DUMP SITE.
Nice quiet campground with clean restrooms
We wanted to be near Jackson, Ms, but not too near. This fits the bill. Lot of trees, very small and private - only 15 sites, most were empty. Clean bathrooms and great showers. Drive thru sites mostly. Sites have 30 amps(not sure about 50), water and sewer. Good 5G connection on AT&T
The host was very nice and accommodating. We was able to pull in at 6pm on a Friday night. There's showers, bathrooms, a pool and laundry room. The area is shaded with big beautiful trees and a decent sized pond. Besides the showers needing a fresh coat of paint, I'd definitely stay here again! We felt safe.
Some sites are shady, some sunny, others limited shade. Campground is part of Ross Barnett Reservoir. Paved sites with grass. Some picnic tables, some grills. Nice bathrooms with 4 shower stalls, all with bench and hooks for dry goods. Cities for shopping 10 miles away.
Another free camping site conveniently located on the Natchez Trace near the Historic French Village.
What a gorgeous farm, and what a marvelous experience! When we first arrived, we thought we would have to hike down to camp. Nope! Brian met us at the gate, and led us down a perfectly manicured field so that we could park right next to our tent spot!
He showered us with provisions grown on his farm, including oodles of chanterelles and a couple bulbs of Creole Ajo Rojo from his passion project. We enjoyed a couple hours kayaking on the big pond/little lake with some ducks. We ended up getting caught in a surprise rain storm while floating, but no worries! We were able to make it back and throw up a tarp in no time. There are lots of primo spots to set up your tent, but ours fit perfectly between the two trees our tarp was strung between.
Brian really thought of everything when it comes to this camp! He provided us with covered firewood- including heat pine, which burned like a match and made building a fire after the rainstorm a breeze. We loved having enough chairs to set up both in front of the water and in front of the fire, so we didn't have to drag them back and forth.
Oh, what luxury it is to have a running toilet and a hot shower while camping! Both structures are incredibly solid and private, and made us feel human again after a couple weeks camping primitively.
As for phone service, mine was in and out. This is rural Mississippi, after all. But when I did have service, Brian was incredibly attentive when I needed to reach him!
Small picnic area & campground along a small, pretty lake. Three campsites - 79A, 79B & 79C. Campsite fee is $7. Camped in April at 79A in a camper van, which is close to the lake. There is no pay station, and the forest office in Rolling Fork is closed; so, you have to make a reservation online at recreation.gov to pay. Online reservation fee is $8. This recreation area has a typical national forest vault toilet (not chem toilet). There is no drinking water. There are trash receptacles next to the vault toilet. There is also a gravel boat ramp. The nature trail was flooded when we visited. Insects were not too bad; we used a Thermocell insect repellent device which seemed to work. Saw an alligator lounging around in the lake. Beautiful nature sounds. No AT&T nor T-Mobile cell service. This is a low elevation, swampy wetland which does get flooded. Two wheel drive passenger cars should make it okay when the road is mostly dry. Drinking water at the forest work center was shut off.
Nice campground. Clean place and friendly staff. This is a good stop to stay a night when needed. Not very private and just a camper lot without any nice views, picnic tables, etc. It worked for us as a quick overnight rest.
The NPS should absolutely charge a fee for the level amenities. This campground is optimized for RVs. There are pull thru spurs with multiple campsites sites but the tables have been moved and monopolized by RVers…including ones with tent pads. Generators running at 3:00 am. On the plus side, heated bathrooms were absolutely clean. Water fountains are distributed through the campground but one spigot to fill a jug. Good access to Little Mountain Trail. There were six empty sites made unusable by RVs parking in between them. Maybe when a camp host is onsite they will clean this up.
Went here with my two sons and was surprised with the view. Great hike for beginners and those with kids. We had a blast!
Nice large pads and yard with grill.
This campground was just ok in my opinion. I went through it while traveling the Natchez Trace. It is one of only three campgrounds that can be found on the Trace. I did not end up staying here, but wanted to check it out to see if it was worth staying in the future. The bathrooms were very old and could have used an upgrade. There is a very nice nature trail here for walking and it is the highest point in Mississippi with wonderful views!

YOU MUST HAVE RESERVATIONS AND PAID
Reservations only 877-444-6777 or recreation.gov Park passes accepted Multiply sites with picnic table, fire ring, lantern pole, potable water is available from the Delta Work F.C. Off of Highway 16 out of Rolling Fork, MS, we turned onto Fire Tower Road, you can take this road at two different places. We went to the second turn for a shorter trip and the gravel road in is not as pot holed the the first turn. Once you pass thru the open gate travel on and you will turn when the road turns just follow the GPS coordinates to the sites. If you love primitive campsites you will love this. We are very partial to primitive sites that are amazing. There is an opening onto a bayou with a small boat launch. Beautiful cypress trees. I would guess that during the season you can make a meal out of the mosquitoes or I would guess they will make a meal of you. This site is so beautiful, I can't wait to go back. The small bayou is great for putting in your kayak. There are beautiful cypress trees on land and in the bayou along with many cypress knobs. Sites that are great for shade and a spot for solar. Make sure to bring in your supplies because you will not want to leave. During the season I am sure there will be more than enough mosquitoes to feast on or there will be plenty to feast on you. Gotta take the sad with the good.
REMEMBER YOU MUST HAVE RESERVATIONS.

Picnic table, fire ring, lantern pole. This is dispersed camping but only in the numbered campsites. Potable water is available from the Delta Work Force Center. This is off Highway 16 out of Rolling Fork, MS. We turned on the second exit for Fire Tower Road because it is shorter to the campsite and the dirt road is in better shape. Look for the turn and follow it all the way to the dead end. There is a beautiful, peace cypress water area with cypress stumps and wonderful trees. The area was bush hogged so grass was very low. If you love to boondock this is the spot. No sun so solar will not work. If you need power bring your generator and I would bring all the supplies needed so you don't have to drive out.

This Natchez Trace Parkway free campground offers oddly placed paved parking areas, grills, tall fire rings, and picnic tables (most appeared in disrepair). Bathrooms were clean however older and not heated...and no hot water or soap. The parking is pull through but not clearly defined. Grills and tables were randomly placed. The park is rolling hills and drop offs at the curb side of some sites. No electric or water hook ups but there is a single outside faucet at the bathroom for potable water. Large shade trees made for minimal solar power. Honestly I had an eery unsure feeling during my 2 night stay. It appeared like mostly men were staying there and was just an odd placement of sites in general. I suppose it was the undefined site borders. I stayed in a pull through that was the nearest to the restroom. Had I not watched a YouTube video by 2tiredteachers when researching my trip, I would have been very confused on where the site were to even park at. But the highlight was Little Mountain!!
This is a very nice clean in every way dispersed campground. Offers bathrooms that are clean with running water and flush toilets. Picnic tables, lantern hooks, fire rings, grills trash pick up and paved pads to park your rig on paved roads into and through the park. This is a 14 day stay and very quiet and private campsites.
Secluded. All the basic amenities. Well maintained
A nicd place if you want to sleep
Secluded location
Also close to the Mississippi Indian mounds
This is a great campground filled with all the amenities. Except a pool but they do have some showers
Thankful it was for a night over only. Far too many long termers. I mean when their stinky slinky is replaced with rigid 4" pvc they're not here for the weekend. Nice large level concrete pads with some growies between sites. I got the impression that it used to be a top notch RVPark and now it's going to pot. Not our style at all It is a run down RV park. Not a campground.
Cell signal was good, but no OTA TV.
