First trip back since Hurricane Ida. Since my last visit, they have added a lot of tentrr sites in the tent section and 2 or 3 around the lake. The paddle trail is open, and while paddling, I saw a family of otters. There’s only around 2 hiking trails open, one around the lake and a portion of the long trail, which goes to the river, in and out. Spoke with a ranger who stated they think most of the trails will be open in 8 months.
Has spaced out sites and 4 backpack tent sites. A few walking trails. Saw alligators, jumping fish, deer, opossums and all kinds if wildlife.
This campground is in a Louisiana Wildlife Management Area in Tunica Hills. Did not get to spend a night but spent an hour checking out this site. Basically an open field. There are porta-potties on site and a deer cleaning rack for hunting season. No dedicated spots, just basically pop your tent anywhere you can find a spot, however seems to be a fair amount of spots. Primitive only.
You have to carry your stuff to your camp site as people have already said. Ownership is nice and helpful. You can buy a small bundle of wood for $5. Stayed in the little A frame cabin. Port-o-potties are clean and there is a shower and a sink. I also had good service the whole time(verizon.)
Went on a day pass and there was definitely alot to do. Long hiking trail, fishing, horse trails, frisbee golf, playground, canoe launch. Went on the hiking trail and it was good but somewhat crowded. Didn’t see any animals but had beautiful views.
Beautiful little park with a spot for tents, the cleanest shower houses I’ve seen and a few things to do. There are 2 playgrounds, a boat launch, a small hiking trail and an area you can fish. There is also a small museum called the Otis house.
Came on a day pass and spent the day. Hiked the trail, which is around 6 miles if you do them all. The visitors center and buildings by the lake are closed but still a beautiful place to visit. Saw a bunch of birds and deer on the hike.
Went to go to one of the paddle in sites or backpack sites however was warned the mosquitoes were horrible. Decided to get a day pass and rent a canoe and then hike the trails. Canoe trip was nice, however was unable to go far on walk due to the thick blanket of mosquitoes. I’m sure its nice once they arent so bad. Was able to take a bunch of pictures and have a good trip regardless, but disappointed I couldn’t stay. Also had absolutely no service sith verizon, except for one or two spots (one on the trail and one in the canoe after paddling for an hour.) may try again when it cools down.
Went on a short hunting trip in November. Was quiet except for the rifle range but knew that coming in. Had a few visitors (racoons, possums and armadillos) but they didn’t bother me. Enjoyed the trip
The staff was friendly and the park was beautiful. There is a snack shop which is delicious and a general store which was very helpful when I forgot something and thought I would have to go to Walmart. Campsite C is alittle cramped so beware if you have a big tent. Beautiful trails, and don’t miss out on the pontoon tour!
Have visited twice. First visit, my original campsite was flooded and was able to switch to another site. Last trip was good but site 35 is very close to 33. The fire rings are within 30 feet of each other and can hear other campers talk, however the primitive sites were nice. They have about 4-5 trails, a splashpad, nature center and you can rent a canoe. Had alot of fun and is pet friendly.
