Tips from RVers
Accessibility considerations: Some parks offer easier navigation than others. "The staff was excellent and helpful. We stayed for just one night while making our way cross country. The RV park itself was quiet. There was noise from the highway, but not enough to be disturbing," reports a review of Springridge Mobile Estates & RV Park.
Electrical options: RV sites near Yazoo City offer varying amperage connections. "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," notes a Mississippi Petrified Forest camper.
Limited site spacing: Larger RVs may find some parks challenging. "The sites are extremely narrow and close together. If your RV has opposing slides you probably won't fit," cautions a reviewer about one campground, suggesting measuring your rig before booking at certain locations.
