Fall Hollow Resort

1st of all don’t book thru Dyrt!!! Card was charged and when got to campground they didn’t have an account with Dyrt. Had to pay again and hope my card is refunded for the Dyrt charge. Just arrived on 23 March, staying 5 days. Will update near the end. So far looks good with a fishabble creek. Little Swan creek.

Was a great quite place several walking trails and a hidden walking trail that leads to Jackson falls that's on the trace. They have showers and bathrooms wifi sucks but pretty decent expect for grass brown Lucas's infested Round my tent site ...

I stay in the creek side primitive tent sites and they are awesome. They are spaced well enough to where you don’t really have neighbors and are secluded enough to get your fix. The service is amazing and they have a lot of amenities if you need them.

Stayed here for a week and it was beautiful!!!

Between fishing, riding the trails, having campfires and watching the fireflies I don't know what we enjoyed better. Well worth the trip well cared for and real nice people!

A plus.. it is located right across from the Natchez Trace Parkway (waterfalls) and 8 miles from town with a golf course.

Looks like a campground where 90% of the people live here full time which is fine. The first night was nice and quiet but the second night there was music blaring all over the campground starting at dusk. I can’t believe that the hosts couldn’t hear it and didn’t said anything. The site haD no picnic table and the “fire pit” was an old small tire rim. There is a nice creek close by but definitely isn’t enough for me to stay here again especially at $47/night

In this area there are not a lot of camping areas. When searching for something to put you close to the Natchez Trace you have basically two options one considered to be dry camping and this one which is improved camping equipped for primitive tent campers, RVs or those wanting a cabin get away.

I chose to explore this campsite because of its location and proximity to so many hiking areas including the Jackson Falls and Falls Hollow which is a pretty iconic stops along the Trace. I liked that this campground had more than one tent camping zone for you to select: deep woods, field or beach all for only $10 a person or $20 for a family of four. Pretty nice to have the primitive camping feeling with the nearby access to amenities such as a bathhouse , pavilion and restaurant.

I chose to check out the beach camping which places you right on the Big Swan River in several separate areas. You really have some of the best views and nicest places to sleep right here along the bends as you can hear the water trickling. It is pretty amazing.

I chose to be closer to the river itself than the Falls Hollow Falls, it wasn't flowing very much when I was visiting according to the clerk who checked me in and they opted that Jackson would probably be a better bet for seeing a falls flowing. It too was a little less than I had hoped but understandable considering that they are fed by mountain streams and not some of the larger sources many of the other falls I have seen have been. Still great for hiking!

Temps by the water were a bit cooler than the RV sites which seemed much more exposed to the elements. But there also were a lot of mosquitoes so I would recommend coming prepared with some bug spray.

TIPS:

• Check out the restaurant for breakfast or lunch great local food and a hometown atmosphere.
• Bring a kayak, many portions of the Big Swan are ideal for some kayaking and this is a perfect spot to launch. You can list the more shallow areas or deeper depending on which primitive campsite you are choosing.
