  Natchez Trace RV Park

  Not a fan

  This campground is huge with tons of stuff to do for families and large groups. There are lakes, trails, riding trails, swimming pool, party house, cabins to rent just to name a few. RV sites are mostly long term and very full. If you are looking for just an overnight, my advice is to keep looking. Otherwise have a great week long stay at this campground.

  Red Bay Acres RV Resort

  Typical for an RV resort, but is new and very nice

  As most in Red Bay, we were here to have work done on our Tiffin RV.  This is typical for an RV resort with open and reasonably close spaces, but is new and very nice and well maintained. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They provide Allegro Club members a 5% discount. We were in site 47. AT&T had 2 bars and 4.3 MB/s w/o a booster, 3 bars and 10.5 MB/s with it. Overall WiFi was“ok” with data rates from 0.2 MB/s up to 0.8 MB/s, as the resort was full. Satellite coverage was good and we had visibility to all 3 DISH west satellites, so we didn’t try OTA channels.

  Tombigbee State Park Campground

  Remote & Serene

  This state park is definitely “off the beaten path” — but if you’re looking for a quiet location, with few spaces for additional RV’s; this may be for you. (In total, there may be 18.. but they were not all occupied during our visit.) RV spacing is not bad.. most with full hookups.

  The green space; natural habitat and night sounds get high marks from us.

  Apple “Maps” took us on an interesting way to get to the park from the interstate.. we were concerned about low hanging tree limbs with our rig; but everything turned out ok.

  If you like to jog; this is a great space for it. And, if you like disc golf, there’s an entire course.

  We will be back.

  Tombigbee State Park Campground

  Pleasantly surprised!!

  We have camped at several MS state parks near Memphis (Tishomingo, Wall Doxey) and have left feeling like MS didn’t have a lot to offer, but Tombigbee State Park is great. There is a video included in the post which includes the entire campground area. I hope you find it helpful. Additionally, here is a basic overview of pros and cons:

  Pros:

  1. All sites close to the bathhouse
  2. Most sites with full hook up including sewer and 30/50 amp plugs. (see pics)
  3. Multiple updated playgrounds
  4. Very affordable. $24 a night for a full hook up site.
  5. Very walkable. Small campground with access to amenities by foot.
  6. Disc golf course is very fun. It is has an interesting layout in the woods so it is much like a hike.
  7. The park is near Tupelo, MS and there is a Dollar General right at the entrance to the park.
  8. If you are primitive camping, the tent camping area is outstanding. (see pic) There are picnic tables, elevated tent platforms, places for hammocks, a porch swing and bench around a raised fire pit. If you are primitive camping, it is a great place.
  9. There are several docks for fishing and there were signs for the option of boating with a trolling motor, but no one was boating while we were there.
  10. The park office was not open while we were here, but it did look updated
  11. Great for young kids because the campground is small with a flat loop that is easy for bike riding, skating, or scooters. It is easy to see the kids from your campsite and not worry about them getting lost
  12. frequent monitoring by the park rangers. Appears that this park is very well taken care of.

  Cons:

  1. Absolutely no shade on the playground.
  2. Inside loop spots are mostly close together. very little privacy.
  3. We were not able to view the inside of the bathhouse.
  4. only 20 sites and only 4 tent camping areas and were without water or electric.
  5. No SP swag so no stickers, patches, shirts, etc.

  This is an A+ for the price, amenities and location to our home base of Memphis. We will definitely be back.

  Lake Lowndes State Park Campground

  Lovely lake with a view!

  We tent camped in the RV park with 4 dogs. Our campsite (10) was perfect- right on the water, plenty of space, nice even pad for our tent & canopy. The neighbors were kind & the bathrooms well maintained. Definitely will stay again. Nice trails too!

  Whitten Park Campground

  Nice camp with hook ups

  Spent one night here. Well filled campground on a Saturday night. Enough space to navigate an RV. Spots are fairly close to one another, but not so close as to be bothersome. Electric and water hook up included. Lady restrooms couldn’t be locked.

  Great proximity to the water and tons of fireflies at night. Enjoyed our time here very much!

  Campground at Barnes Crossing

  but it's close to town

  Location is next to the freeway and yes, it is loud. Sites are close together, you CANNOT choose your site they will place you where they want. Staff not very friendly. Price is $55/night $50 for Good Sam Club.

  Trace State Park Campground

  Good overnight stay

  Hard to give a complete review. Bath facilities were COVID closed. But, level sites. Water & electric hook-ups. No swimming in the lake, but folks were fishing and boating. Fair price and we’d stay again if passing through.

  clean park but no lake

  Apparently the main lake has been drained for now. The roads to and through the campground are a bit rough, so you may have to drIve slow. The campsites are paved and leveled. Bathhouse is clean. Full hookups at our site. Overall this was a nice campground.

  Lake Lowndes State Park Campground

  Nice campground, inundated with ants

  Nice state park with many amenities. The campground is located along a lake and many sites have nice views of the water. We were in site 39, a full hookup site with a nice water view. At about 4:00 am, we awoke to find ants invading the trailer. The outside of the trailer was covered with thousands of ants and they were pouring into the trailer. A park employee came in the afternoon and sprayed all entry points around the trailer. We spent all day killing ants in and on our trailer. This continued sporadically over the next few days. The bathouse was clean, but very rundown. If you take ant precautions, this could be a really pleasant stay.

  Trace State Park Campground

  Picturesque lakeside sites with full hook up

  State park campground with full hookups in the woods on the lakeshore. Park is just off the Natchez Trace. Sites are adequately spaced and sorta level and paved. Beautiful sunsets picturesque tree lined lake. Deer Run bath house is showing its age, but Eagle Ridge’s is much newer, and it includes a coin laundry and a party room. Park roads are in serious need of repair

  Trace State Park Campground

  Family friendly, single mom approved.

  Camped for two weeks in mid fall, October 2020. Full hookups, clean bath house. Family friendly. It is dated though. Play area available, small and quant. Roads are drivable of course but need to be funded, come on Mississippi and step up.. 15-20 minutes from a supercenter on West Main Street in Tupelo. Tupelo is lovely and where we actually live. This is the nearest campground my children 13, 10, and 4 stay at. The 4yo loves is, hiking and bike riding is what the older kids do. Nice lake for fishing, no swimming or wake.

  Site we stayed at was level, and fully shaded.

  Tombigbee State Park Campground

  Beautiful with gorgeous trails and lots to do

  Stayed for one night in an RV. Single female traveler with one dog. We hiked all the trails and they were well manicured and followed a frisbee golf course. They have full hookups and back in spots. I went in August and there were many vacancies. I stayed as a stop between destinations but could’ve easily made a trip out of the park itself. There were picnic tables, lots of trees, paved roads. I made reservations through reserve america. There was a camp host to answer questions .

  Howard Stafford Park Campground

  Small tidy county park

  With less than 20 sites this is a small comfortable campground with full hookups. 30 minutes to Tupelo or Oxford, this place splits them down the middle. The site is a level concrete pad with 50/30 amp, water and sewer. The campground is next to a big county park with a playground, boat ramp and fishing docks. Nice walking paths along the lakes edge provides a great place for a view of the sunset. The camp manger is a nice as could be and reached out after I left to return something I left behind. A great small park easy to get to.

  Town Creek Campground - West Point - MS

  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!

  Davis Lake Campground

  Easy rv camping

  We took our 23 foot forest river TT on its maiden voyage here in mid June. It was easy to navigate even though it was dark. Nice level site. There is 30 and 50 amp electric and good water pressure.

  We stayed in site 18 by the water, most lakeside sites are about 20 feet from shore, and are mostly grass besides the driveway and tent pad. While we loved the campground we probably wouldn’t go back to this site. There were 2 knockdown trees in front of the site, which made fishing hard. There was also a beehive in the tree close to the fire pit.

  The sites away from the water looked to be uneven and on a slope so beware if you take an rv.

  There is a swimming beach, a pier, and plenty of place to tie up a boat. We plan to return and explore some more!

  Trace State Park Campground

  Nice and quiet (if you're not staying on the Equine/ATV loop)

  The road leading to the park could be improved a bit but it wasn't too bad. The park was nice and clean and the loop we stayed on was kept up pretty well. Sites were nice and level and it's hard to beat full hookups for the price!

  The bathrooms were obviously older but still kept clean.

  The lake had been drained at some point for repairs and it's still very low. There's not a whole lot to do in the park unless you bring horses or an ATV. Great place for a nice quiet getaway.

  The neat thing is there's actually a special camping loop just for those that do have horses and ATVs, and it keeps the noise away from everyone else.

  There's not a ton to do in nearby Tupelo but we did have a nice dinner at Harvey's, The zoo seemed rather expensive for its size.

  Tombigbee State Park Campground

  Great for families! Trash location is an issue though

  The campsites were nice. They clouded full hookups, a picnic table and fire ring. The area was clean and surroundings wooded. Neighboring camping spots were adequately spaced. There were lots of areas for kids to play, including a large playground, a baseball/kickball field and hiking/biking trails.

  One big problem, however, was the location of trash dumpsters and cans. There were NO TRASH CANS in the camping area, and the few that were somewhat nearby had signs saying to take your trash to the end of the park road, which was a mile away. This was a problem because we had already hooked up our RV and couldn’t jump in and run the trash that far. Needless to say, whoever maintains the park is being a little lazy and doesn’t want to bother handling trash. Other than that, it was a fairly well maintained park.

  Nice Corp of Engineering camping site

  Stayed one night with reservation on line day prior. Can only reserve on-line. Had a waterfront site for our 21 ft motorhome with water and electric hook up. Dump and trash station at a remote area. Showers and bathroom were in good shape and resembled a rest stop.
  Park secured close at 10 pm til 6 am for security. Nice wooded sites not too close to each other with paved pads.

  Starkville KOA

  Decent place to stay

  This KOA is a decent place. We arrived after the office was closed. We had called ahead and they had a site saved for us. The only issue was, we could not find the site. It was a tent site and we could not find the assigned one. Being the off season and not crowded we just grabbed an empty site. The map they left only had the tent area not individual tent sites marked.

  Bathrooms and showers were exceptionally clean. Grounds were clean. Very quiet place. I would stay here again. I looked like all the camper sites were clean and level.

  Only reason for the 4 stars and not 5 is due to the site we were assigned to not being marked. Other than that it would be a 5.

  Part 2: We had a mechanical issue with one of our motorcycles and the staff at the KOA went out of there way to assist us. They gave us a break on the 2nd night stay due to our situation. Changing this to a 5!!

  Trace State Park Campground

  Needs some work

  Trace State Park near Tupelo, MS. Once you get into Tupelo the signage directing you to the park is easy to find and follow.

  The road in is in terrible shape, the lake is missing, the levy being worked on. They have horse, ATV and mountain bike trails which are in okay shape but could use some TLC. There are rental cabins and the store is limited to souvenir type merchandise and disc’s.

  The staff at the park were very helpful and the facilities, which included a showerhouse/multipurpose room and screened porch were very well taken care of. I definitely liked the large shower stalls!

  The sites are spacious, including a fire area, picnic table, electric hookup, water and sewer hook up. You have some privacy and depending on your site sparse to full shade.

  There is Disc golf, fishing, and currently limited water sports.We used the multipurpose room and a nearby site that had more then enough room for all of us to sit around the fire.

  Tupelo, Mississippi is nearby with Elvis’s birthplace. In addition there are several recreation areas to visit on the Natchez Trace with historical information and trails to explore.
