    country view rv park

    Close to Rt 40

    They have huge back in spots mostly level even though it’s gravel. It’s in a field so no frills. Dispersed campers look like they live there. It was a quick trip off 40 to get there and it was quiet and spacious. Good for an overnight rest.

    Bruton Branch Recreation Area Campground — Pickwick Landing State Park

    Bruton Branch Recreation Area

    The scenery is beautiful. Plenty of fish activity with multiple campsites on the water with a steady breeze. No Potable Water sites. Bathrooms do get cleaned in the morning. Using Verizon and AT&T, service is great averaging between 3-4 bars. Spoke with some of the Rangers. Renovation plans are in place coming January 2026 to make this campground gated with PIN access for paying campers and will be adding RV parking. There is currently an issue with individuals driving to the campsites throughout the day and night utilizing the park’s amenities without paying. First night at least 5 vehicles drove in and took control of the bathrooms/showers for hours throughout the night. One came out and started, what sounded like, a chainsaw. My belief was to intimidate us given we were the only paying campers and we looked at their direction due to the noise they were making. Constant yelling and argumentative behavior among the individuals. It takes the Rangers 20-30 minutes to arrive if called so you have to ride out the uninvited guests and hope they leave you be. The Rangers themselves, are very polite and they were honest about the issue. However with how much ground they have to cover with limited staff and resources they can’t control the situation until the renovations begin. My advice, if you want to avoid potential conflict and harassment wait till the park renovates.

    Serendipity Resort

    Warning to Blue Oval Families& Traveling Workers– AVOID Serendipity RV Park

    We were long-term tenants at Serendipity RV Park for over two years, paying$950/month. My husband works for Blue Oval, and we want to warn others: this park does not respect or value loyal tenants. On July 8, 2025, a Serendipity employee ran a mower into our RV, damaging our slide-out. Instead of taking responsibility, they brought in Ralph’s Mobile RV Repair—a contractor who showed up without notice and“repaired” it using silicone instead of 2 sided adhesive, it look horrible, he smearing silicone everywhere, and bent up parts of the trim that had not even were not even originally damaged. We documented everything, expressed our concerns immediately. Ralph returned later, didn’t even remove the old silicone, and caked more on top. When we pushed back, he became aggressive and confrontational—at one point suggesting he could“meet” my husband somewhere. Serendipity never inspected the work. Edward, who’s on-site daily, never once came to speak to us. Instead, we got a dismissive text saying they were“satisfied” with the work and that we should“file it on our insurance.” The damage was caused by their own employee—yet they refuse to make it right. On top of that:• They’ve overcharged our card multiple occasions and add illegal card processing fees.• in addition to the$950/monthly space rent, they have installed meters to charge electric ON TOP of the$950(they want MORE money but do not even maintain our lawns properly)• The park is poorly maintained. Grass gets a foot tall before it’s mowed, and employees recklessly use riding mowers near RVs. We were respectful, always paid on time, and expected to be treated fairly. Instead, we’ve dealt with poor repairs, price gouging, and total disregard. If you’re a Blue Oval worker or traveling family, do yourself a favor—avoid Serendipity and Ralph’s RV Repair. You deserve better.

    Serendipity Resort

    Trashy, unkept, rude staff, overpriced, no respect for guests

    My husband and I have always loved Serendipity and looked forward to visiting for the last several years.  That has definitely changed with the latest owners.  The girls in the office have smart mouths and zero customer service skills.  The grounds look awful, grown up grass everywhere.  It appears they only mow about 25%.  Food is poor and overpriced.  Ron and Daphne are truly missed.  There is no personality to Serendipity anymore.  It used to be a nice resort style rv park now it ranks as bottom of the barrel.  Just sad.

    Hidden Oasis at White Oak Landing RV Campground

    Bookable on The Dyrt!

    Saraj from The Dyrt here. Hidden Oasis at White Oak Landing really lives up to its name. This peaceful RV park sits right on the Tennessee River, so it feels quiet and private in all the best ways. If you're looking for a relaxed, scenic place to unwind, this one’s worth the stop!

    Corinth RV Park

    Muddy uneven mess

    water spickets are buried in a hole and when it rains the hole fills up with mud. Spots seem to be first come first serve even if you reserve one. Camp host is never here and the Ross to the back lot or the top spots is a nightmare. Road sucks!

    Cross City RV Park

    One of the Better Short Stay Campgrounds

    This review is based on a short stay campground (CG). We followed our GPS right to this CG off US-45 just south of Corinth. We were instructed by the very nice owner, Jim, to call when we were 30 minutes out so he could meet us. Jim was right there when we pulled in and we had the choice of two pull throughs or a back-in. We chose back-in site E with FHUs for our two night’s stay. The back-in was easy and the site was fairly level as we had no problems auto-leveling. Water pressure was good at around 45 psi. We had no problems with utilities that were towards the back of the pad as we could back in a good distance. There were no playground, picnic tables nor fire pits. The CG has full timers and seasonal campers, who were very nice. They have a nice bathroom with a shower plus a small laundry with one washer and dryer. The washing is free and drying costs$1. We got two bars on Verizon and a clear shot north for Starlink. This CG is listed under Passport America but looking at reviews on multiple sites, Jim charges everyone the same price around$30. There’s no dog area, but plenty of room to walk your pups. US-45 is near so you get highway noise. After several attempts, we never got connected to the CG’s wifi. Corinth has all your major amenities such as Walmart, Lowes, etc. Borroum's Drug Store and Soda Fountain is a throwback in time and a great place to get lunch. Get there early though, as they fill up fast.We enjoyed our stay in this no frills, laid back, and friendly CG. We would definitely stay here again.


Guide to Henderson

The Henderson area camping sites offer diverse experiences throughout the region's rolling hills and mixed hardwood forests. Summer temperatures typically reach 90°F with high humidity, while winter lows average around 30°F. Water levels at area lakes fluctuate seasonally, with higher levels in spring that can impact shoreline camping areas.

What to do

Horseback riding opportunities: Campers at Chickasaw State Park Campground can enjoy equestrian activities with dedicated facilities. "We even bought our fishing license for this year while camping! We didn't know one could do this at a campsite," notes Brandon C., who stayed in the Wrangler area that welcomes those with horses.

Archeological exploration: The Pinson Mounds Group Camp offers a unique camping experience near Native American historical sites. "Visit the BIG mound, it is a lot of steps but has the most amazing view of the entire park and will make you realize just how tall it really is when you get to the top!" advises Crystal C.

Night sky viewing: Big Hill Pond State Park provides excellent stargazing opportunities due to minimal light pollution. "This is a dark sky area, so come during the new moon phase for views of the Milky Way!" recommends Shana D., highlighting an often-overlooked attraction in the region.

What campers like

Newly renovated facilities: Big Hill Pond State Park Campground has undergone recent improvements. "The sites at this park are beautiful and it's been one of my favorite camping spots for as long as I can remember. The new renovations make it top notch," writes Wendy C., noting the primitive camping experience has been enhanced while maintaining the natural setting.

Lake access and water activities: Campers appreciate the multiple lakes at Pin Oak Campground in Natchez Trace State Park. "There are a few lakes in the area. Pin Oak is the only motor lake. Cub lake has a larger swim area with paddle boat, Jon boat and kayak rentals," explains Beth LeVar L., detailing the different water recreation options.

Farm-based camping: Stillwaters Farm offers a distinctive agricultural experience for tent campers. "This property is so peaceful and well cared for. You can choose to participate in farm activities or kick your feet up and relax. This isn't your run of the mill farm," notes Ashley F., highlighting the working farm aspect.

What you should know

Site selection considerations: At Parkers Crossroads RV Park, site location significantly impacts your experience. "Disclaimer here as not all sites in this CG are the same and some are quite nice with room between them. We were here for two days and placed in the row where they place shorter rigs for overnighters. The sites are cut into a hill and are very close together," warns MickandKarla W.

Limited connectivity: Cell service varies dramatically between campgrounds. "The internet here is good. We were able to get a clear shot north for Starlink. The CG does have mature trees in and around some of the sites," reports MickandKarla W., though other campgrounds report spotty connections.

Reservation timing: For group camp experiences, advanced planning is essential. "Group sites are very well equipped and are a flat rate of $200 per evening with reservation only. These are cabins which are arranged nicely in a landscaped area close to the big mound. Keys are issued to those staying for their site and early arrival is suggested," explains Crystal C. about the Pinson Mounds facilities.

Tips for camping with families

Beach access options: Cub Lake Campground offers family-friendly water activities. "We went to the beach at Cub Lake for hours every day! There were several playgrounds around the campgrounds, I'm sure we tried them all," shares Rachel C., describing the popularity of swimming areas for children.

Playground proximity: When selecting sites at Cub Lake, consider proximity to play areas. "The sites closer to the lake are indeed beautiful but they are also close to the summer swimming area and playground. If you don't mind the high pitched noises of squealing kids at play in the water, then those sites are for you," advises Wendy C.

Wildlife viewing opportunities: Several parks feature wildlife exhibits that interest children. "Be sure to check out the wildlife rehab near the front office," recommends Shana D. about Pickwick Landing State Park, providing an educational opportunity for families.

Tips from RVers

Site leveling challenges: Many campgrounds in the area require preparation for uneven sites. "We soon found out the site is not level and had to put leveling blocks under our door side wheels as they were off the ground after auto level," reports MickandKarla W. about their experience at Parkers Crossroads.

Space between sites: RV campers should research site spacing before booking. "The campground is very shady & they just improved the bathhouse. The campsites are terribly unlevel. I can honestly say that is the only negative," notes nickie F. about her stay at Pickwick Landing State Park.

Hook-up quality: Pin Oak Campground receives positive reviews for its utility connections. "Pin Oak Lake Campground is very nice. Well maintained with full hookups and plenty of space separating the sites. The lake itself is very clear water. Easy to access the park from I-40 but it is a bit of a drive from the exit," shares Randy C.
