      Chickasaw State Park Campground

      Totally renovated gem in West TN

      My wife grew up going to Chickasaw State Park as a child and when she wanted to go back with our family we couldn’t get inside because the state of Tennessee was totally redoing the campground. They closed it for one year. When it was reopened, we booked a trip with some friends to see what all had been done. This park was already an outstanding campground, but the addition of sewer in many of the sites and updated hiking trails, ADA access, and the newly updated bridge across the lake were breathtaking.

      We stayed in the primary campground area and had access to sewer 30/50 amp and water. There is a horse camp with newly added 30A electric and newly paved pads. There are tent camp sites on the other side of the lake that are beautiful if that’s your thing. There are several hiking trails and a nature center with owls and a falcon. In warmer months, there is a marina with boat, canoe, kayak rentals and a swimming area that were all being updated. There is also a restaurant in the park, but i was closed for a complete renovation as well. The playground is new for parents interested. The dump station is easily accessible.

      If you are looking for a beautiful spot in West TN with full hookups and plenty of activities for the family, Chickasaw State Park is outstanding. We will definitely be back!

      Chickasaw State Park Campground

      Very Nice Campground

      A nice campground with blacktop sites. Campground is hilly but most sites are fairly flat. Very nice hot showers. They also have tent camping, cabins, and camping with your horse. Small lake within walking distance to the RV campground. Camp store, gym, small amphitheater. Wifi was a free signup for 3 days but was too slow to be useful.

      Nice park, mehhh campground

      I really like the tent area campground. Very accessible to the water & bridge. The horse trailer campground is nice and also close to the water. However, the RV campground is not close to the water and that was super disappointing. Lots of upgraded sites though and they are working on upgrading the bathrooms in the RV campground. The pads seemed level enough, but the sites were small and hilly. Ground also very soft and muddy, I guess from the recent construction. Very limited cell service in the park.

      Ranger Review: Grub Stick Deluxe Kit at Chickasaw Rustic State Park

      **Campground Review: **

      On Friday, August 23, 2019 my son Charlie and I camped at Chickasaw State Park to celebrate his ninth birthday. We couldn’t have found a better park than this one. It reminds me of the classic summer camps I saw on television as a kid: beautiful lake, horses, stables, paddle boats and canoes, and even a well maintained swimming hole. They even have three birds of prey on display for visitors to enjoy. From our arrival to the moment we left, the rangers and staff made us feel welcomed and safe. Ranger Brittany helped me find the perfect site and even checked in later to make sure that we were completely satisfied with the spot. Who wouldn’t be? The campsite was located right on Lake Placid in the middle of almost 15,000 acres of state forest. Each campsite in the tent campground had a new picnic table, a fire ring, access to potable water, and a grill. Our campsite, number 109, was located right next to a large handicapped parking spot that is big enough for a very large handicapped van. The parking spot was constructed on level ground with concrete. Campsite 109 was far away from the bathroom, but the trail to it was beautiful and made even the most hasty trip pleasant walking. Campsite 109 also had easy access to the pier which spans the width of the lake. My son and I enjoyed walking out into the middle of the lake and seeing the expanse of the Milky Way(what a treat!). There’s great firewood for sale at the stables for$6.00 a box. This is the best campfire wood I’ve ever purchased. It burned slow and steady leaving us enough to pass on to one of our neighbors the next morning. I would suggest spending at least two nights here. We only spent one, and my son and I didn’t want to leave. There’s so much we didn’t get to see and do at this park. This place is a real gem. I’ll guarantee that you will feel like you’re back at summer camp. By the way, don’t forget to bring a good lantern or flashlight with you: you will need it since many of the trails to the bathroom and out to the pier are very dark at night. This just helps you to see the stars better.

      **Product Review: **

      As a Ranger for The Dyrt, I have the opportunity to test some of the latest and coolest camping products on the market. On my camping trip to Chickasaw, my son and I tried out the Grub Stick Deluxe Kit. What a fun way to cook over a campfire! In my kit I received two telescopic poles which have well made attachments such as the Grub Cage, Grub Fork, Burg Cage, and Grub Tube that attach to the end of the telescopic poles. 

      We used the Burg Cage for supper and it made awesome burgers. They had that perfect campfire flavor. My son enjoyed getting to cook his own food rather than waiting for dad to cook it on the grill. The handles are very comfortable to hold, and they were just the right size for my son’s smaller hands. The whole time he was using it, I kept hearing wows. It’s great when a company makes a camping product that engages children in cooking. The Grub Stick does just that. 

      The kit also came with special grips like the finger grabber and the hot pad to help open and close the cages and other attachments. You can really tell that the makers of the Grub Stick thought of everything when they were designing this. 

      One of the things that was really fun was the Grub Cage. It left me wondering,“where have you been all my life?” Instead of building the S’more AFTER roasting the marshmallow on a stick, you build it in the cage and toast the whole thing. I think this is the way the S’more was always meant to be. Everything, including the graham crackers, oozes with sugary, toasty goodness. 

      For breakfast, we used the Grub Tube and wrapped it with bacon and croissant rolls. It was as good as it sounds. As I was cooking, I kept thinking of other things that could be cooked over the fire using this kit. I’m excited to have it in my cooking kit now, and I see us using this quite often especially on those winter camping trips when we want to stay close to the fire. 

      Overall, this is a great product for engaging kids in camping. The Grub Stick will allow my kids to come up with their own recipes, put them together on their own, and then try them out on the fire. They love being a part of the cooking part of camping, and the Grub Stick is the perfect tool for this. 

      I did have an issue with one of the telescopic handles. After cooking three burgers, one of the telescopic handles broke. I contacted customer service, and they went above my expectations to not only replace it but to help me understand their product even more. Most people expect things to be returned with“no questions asked,” but this isn’t how Grub Stick operates. They asked for pictures and a description of the failure so they can make sure their product gets better and better. I wouldn’t hesitate at all to order more from this company. It’s great when people not only believe in their product but also stand by it and are always looking for ways to improve it. They sent a replacement immediately, and I can’t wait to get this back out in the field.

      When My Soul longs for Peace

      A cozy lake. Friendly horses grazing. Long hot showers. Nighttime rain on the rv roof. Empty weekday bliss. Happy electrical help at 10 pm. A private pearl.

      Beautiful fall views

      Very first time camping in our pop up camper. The campsite was beautiful and the facilities were extremely clean. We had issues getting our popup down but luckily, had the friendliest camper neighbors who attempted to help us. The views during the fall here are breathtaking. We got to hike through the trails around the lake and pet the horses at Wranglers. When we were leaving, the staff had started setting up Christmas decorations and lights and that was just as beautiful. Would definitely go back for unplugging, strictly nature purposes (WiFi was very spotty).

      Chickasaw State Park Campground

      Great park

      Chickasaw state park is a wonderful park filled with activities for all. Paddle boating, hiking, geocaching, canoeing and kayaking and also horse back riding.


    Guide to Toone

    Natchez Trace Wrangler Camp is situated in a less populated section of Natchez Trace State Park, providing riders with a dedicated equestrian camping experience. The campground connects to several miles of bridle paths through Tennessee's western forests at approximately 550 feet elevation. The terrain alternates between rolling hills and flat areas with a mix of hardwood trees creating seasonal shade patterns.

    What to do

    Trail riding access: Campers at Chickasaw State Park Campground can explore multiple trail systems for horses. "This is a great place to go RV camping, tent camping or even wrangler camping. It is a quiet park with hiking, biking, horseback riding, boating, swimming, and much more," notes Nancy N.

    Fishing opportunities: Multiple stocked lakes provide fishing options within 30 minutes of Toone. "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. at Pin Oak Campground.

    Geocaching adventures: Several parks near Toone maintain geocache sites for family exploration. "This park has camping, hiking trails, horse back riding and geocaching just to name a few things to do here," shares Amanda F. about Chickasaw State Park.

    What campers like

    Dark sky viewing: The minimal light pollution creates excellent stargazing conditions. At Pin Oak Campground, Angela C. reports, "The campground landscape is rolling hills so everyone has a different view of the lake... it was quiet in the evening."

    Clean facilities: Equestrian campgrounds maintain regularly serviced restrooms. "The bathrooms are cleaned everyday on weekends and every other day during the week. Completely cleaned!" emphasizes Beth LeVar L. about Pin Oak Campground.

    Quiet atmosphere: Horse camps tend to be less crowded than standard RV areas. At Natchez Trace Wrangler Camp, Mr. H. observed, "Super quiet, dark and cool the first week of October. We stayed in the Wrangler site, which is typically for horses."

    What you should know

    Limited hookup variations: Most equestrian sites offer basic services. At Big Hill Pond State Park Campground, Molly W. notes, "Primitive camping, no water or electric. Not big enough for RVs. Nice bathrooms, excellent showers."

    Variable cell service: Coverage can be spotty throughout the region. "There is virtually no Verizon service except close the water front," advises Jennifer K. about Pin Oak Campground.

    Site spacing considerations: Equestrian sites typically provide more room than standard campgrounds. "The RV park was nice. Not a lot of noise since it's back away from any major roads," mentions Mattie F. about Natchez Trace Wrangler Camp.

    Reservation requirements: During peak season (April-October), advance booking is essential. "We had to book through recreation.gov app, which was easy enough, but misleading on what sites are booked and not booked," cautions Mr. H.

    Tips for camping with families

    Beach access options: Several lakes near Toone offer swimming areas for children. At Milan City RV Park, William N. finds it "nice and quiet," though some parks have better beach facilities than others.

    Playground availability: Select campgrounds provide play equipment for younger visitors. Angela C. mentions Pin Oak has "a playground for smaller kids and several people were fishing and boating."

    Wildlife observation opportunities: The area hosts various wildlife viewing stations. Jeremy H. notes at Chickasaw, "They even have three birds of prey on display for visitors to enjoy."

    Lake activities planning: Water recreation options vary by location and season. Nancy N. explains, "There are 3 different campgrounds in this very large state park... Pin Oak Campground... has a pavilion, playground, beach area, and boat dock."

    Tips from RVers

    Site selection strategy: Choose locations based on rig size and access needs. Thomas W. cautions that Big Hill Pond is "one of the nicest parks in West Tennessee but not for RV's over 26 feet."

    Hookup availability: Full-service sites are limited to specific campgrounds. Randy C. from Pin Oak Campground advises, "Pin Oak Lake Campground is very nice. Well maintained with full hookups and plenty of space separating the sites... Our 38' RV was easy to park on the generous pad."

    Supply planning: Services are limited near most equestrian camping areas. "Take plenty of food as a trip to the store is a bit of a drive," suggests Randy C.

    Pad conditions: Site terrain varies significantly between campgrounds. Jennifer K. notes at Pin Oak, "We had a peaceful weekend in our little pop-up amongst all the big 5th wheels and buses. Great full service water, electric & sewer service."
