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.

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.

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.

different, in a good way
I enjoyed my 3 nights. I had a great view of a pond and a row of A-frames but the sites on my passenger (viewing) side were not occupied or I would have been billboarded. The sites are very close together but the season is apparently over. Very little traffic even on thanksgiving. The roads are narrow and the trees get close. Th signage could be better but the host left me a text when I arrived and found me while I was waiting outside the office. Very quiet, no road noise or trains or planes. Just a little longer drive off the main highway

Great
We will be back in the fall for an extended weekend trip. Staff was super friendly and helpful helping us find ice cream during a storm rolling thru. The site we had was up hill facing the lake which worked out with a small trailer.

Quick night stay
Ended up at this location after a crappy night in Alabama. It was very clean nice location. Very nice Mississippi State Park Campground. All the staff were very friendly and Gary was a great guy that we chatted with for a bit after checking in. Restrooms were clean and air conditioned. Family type campgrounds with friendly happy campers. We will be back a lot more in the future.

We stayed on campsite #55. It was back away from the water but we had a clear view to the water. Beautiful park.

Long journey
This was a last minute stop but something told me to stop here and check it out. The customer service was awesome and pricing was great. There is loads of things to do kinda wish I had more time to explore. When I head back East I plan on stopping again. Next vist the kids will have to come for sure. So two thumbs up and a Hey Yo. ☮️&I’ll 👀I around like a 🍩
