We were planning to stay a second night in a better location on the resevoir… so we moved to avoid the sound, fury and allergens of a half dozen lawn tractor mowers circling us. The management notified us that there would be a $20. Fee for changing spaces plus the fees for an additional night and were asked to return to our original site until check in time if we didn’t want to pay the additional 20 bucks.
We moved to the bathhouse, showered, hung out by the pool until check out time and departed for another campground. Sometimes management treats guests according to the rules of an HOA, versus the hospitality industry. It was kind of sad.
We did enjoy the site, the pool and the water views. We didn’t enjoy the sound of traffic and grounds maintenance early in the morning. We might return one day, but much wiser, indeed.

This campground is the perfect overnight spot; there are some hiking trails & historic sites to visit but, otherwise, it’s just a good spot to pull off the parkway and recharge. There are probably 20-25 sites, most if not all ate large enough for RVs or pull-behind rigs. Above ground fire pits, BBQ grills and picnic tables at most sites, off of the paved parking area(s). The bathroom(s) aren’t great, but they work! 1 bar Verizon, not enough to load any GPS or internet but you can squeeze a message out.

Friendly park staff!!! Super clean facilities. Well maintained camp ground.
GuideWe will definitely come back to this campground. When you come to the campground , nightly rentals are first come first serve. You drive back and pick your available spot and go back to the office to pay. We were lucky to get a beautiful water spot this time. It’s clean and spots are a concrete pad. Right outside the campground is a Kroger across the street. It’s convenient to lots of things but tucked away as a quiet getaway.
LegendThis is a great campground right off the Natchez Trace. I was able to get the last spot there. After my set up I went for a walk up to the old church and remains of the town of Rocky Springs. Being a Nevada Barr fan I was delighted to see the cemetery she mentioned in one of her books “Deep South”. I had planning on staying two nights but had trouble with my refrigerator so I was disappointed that I had to leave the next day. Will definitely be back when I am in the area. I will say this is a rustic campground. There are two bathroom facilities and the third has been boarded up for years. Have your fresh water tank full when you arrive. There is no water available other than the sinks and flush toilets in the bathrooms. No shower facilities. Not an issue for me as I travel in a small motorhome. And don’t show up with a full tank of grey and black water because there isn’t a dump station. I didn’t get to hike the hiking trails. I did walk down to the water that is behind the amphitheater and it was pretty. Very quiet and peaceful place.
TravelerConvenience of nearby restaurants & Kroger, but still nice quiet & peaceful location to unwind after my other activities in area. Great shade in sunnier weather and clean bathhouses
TravelerSites on the lake are a little closer then we like but the water view was very nice. Off lake sites are spread out more. The site map on the website is labeled wrong so when we showed up we wound up with a non water location. The office fixed it promptly. Be aware water will be hard to come by in peak season.

GuideBeautiful quiet park. Many waterfront sites. Highly recommend
TravelerQuiet, scenic and the few neighbors I had for the holiday weekend were friendly. Clean very modern bathhouse. Great accommodating friendly staff.
ScoutFeels super remote but still close to shopping. Great lake views, plenty of tall trees. Nice bathrooms & showers have both locking stall doors and shower curtains.
TravelerGreat site on the water. Clean camp, well maintained. Park staff friendly. If you are planning on fishing, have your fishing prior to arriving - no place near to get one.
GuideThis is one of my favorite places in the south. The old town of rocky Springs is worth a visit. The campground is free. It has not been maintained by the NPS. Sadly it needs alot of work. There are flush toilets but no potable water. But you get to cruise on the trace!
GuideThis campground has three restrooms. One is boarded up and should be razed. One in the ranger station was closed but the lights were on. The one open restroom had no power or water in the sink. Apparently there was a trickle in the women’s side sink. Fortunately the toilets flushed.
As tenters, we camped near the restrooms. Road noise was considerable during late afternoon and early morning. There were other sites further from the road but also the restroom. The adjacent trails and historic features were outstanding.
TravelerIt's a beautiful area and nice little piece of history to see. I'm assuming due to covid though there isn't running water in the restrooms and showers aren't accessible either. It's a fairly busy campground with people coming in and out and driving around the loop. But other than that there weren't any issues.
GuideThis is a really convenient location outside Jackson. It's clean and easy pull ins. The lake is nice if you have a boat but it can also be really windy.
LegendThis is one of three free campgrounds that can be found along the Natchez Trace. Located near Port Gibson, MS it is the first campground after leaving Natchez, MS. The lower section of this park is very wet. If possible, try to get one of the campsites on higher ground if you’ll be tent camping. When I was there the bathroom in the campground was open, but I couldn’t get the lights or water to turn on. It was like the restrooms were still winterized, but I don’t know why they would have been unlocked. I heard lots of wildlife while here, coyotes, owls, frogs, and many other little critters. Be sure to check out the old town site and church of Rocky Springs.
TravelerReally pretty area, fire pits and grills, flushable toilets, no running taps though. Quiet area, all paved roads.
It use to be a cotton town.
RangerSpent 4 nights, flush toilets, lots of sites, hiking trails nearby, old town site of Rocky Springs nearby, plus ancient burial mounds, and Windsor Plantation round. Water was off on sinks and note to not drink the water. Trash cans, picnic tables, and fire pits. Close to road but not very well traveled at night. No camp host. No Verizon signal.
ScoutTook my two sons on our first camping trip here. There are quite a few hiking trails and none are too difficult even for my 4 y.o. The main trail, where the town used to be was awesome. There are several old structures left behind and info plaques that tells the story on all of it. The bathrooms were closed due to the pandemic but the ranger station bathrooms at the front were open. Definitely, will be a site we'll visit many more times.
TravelerThis campground looked wonderful on the surface. Parts of it is very well cared for & maintained, but a large area needs serious attention. Our site was in that area. The concrete pads were badly broken & uneven, garbage littered the whole area, one of the electric posts was broken, and the bathroom was one of the nastiest we've encountered in our 8 years of travel. Moldy; broken tiles, countertop, towel dispenser, & trim; caution tape over both shower stalls in the women's; and a healthy ant freeway running thru one of the stalls. This bathroom obviously has been in decay for several years.
TravelerRocky springs campground is a great place to get back to nature while traveling the South end of the historical Natchez Trace. There is almost NO cell service regardless of carrier. No electric, drinking water, or showers however the first set of bathrooms are very clean and work well. The bathroom sink water is not potable...it had a yellow tinge... literally. Nice paved pull through and back in pads, fire rings (way too tall but hey?!?), grills and picnic tables are plentiful. The large shade trees made solar power minimal but it was worth the boon docking, old time camping experience. Very peaceful get away from it all area. We camped next to the bathroom in a 21' RV.
RangerCampsites fairly spread out with decent shade in most spots. The low review is mostly because on bathroom was in disrepair and another was clogged up our whole stay.
Lots of close trails nearby though that lead to various historic sights. Nice for passing through or staying for a few days.
GuideThe older lady at the front desk knows nothing about this park, I asked her how number six spit was she said I don’t camp here I could t tell you!
GuideIf you want to swim and you love cypress trees, this is your spot. It’s a small park with very clean bath houses. The spots along the water are all amazing but 4 & 5 are extra great because they have shade all day and decks. There is a beach/swimming hole but we also swam from out site #5. Maybe the best campsite I’ve ever had. Worth renting a pontoon for a day!
RangerStart out by saying that #15 spot is literally on top of the one right behind it. The bath houses were super clean, All weekend. The park was full. Splash pad for a hit for the kids and so was the swim area. We enjoyed kayaking and the pier right out front. Loved the water in the lake. Grounds were also clean.
GuideMe and my family came here with our tent and had a blast. We explored the old church and what’s left of the city. There is a lot to do for such a small campground. First come first serve and no electricity or water. It had bathrooms but no bathhouse.
