This campground was okay. We called the day before as you can’t book online, picked a specific site that we knew would fit our large toy hauler and had grass for our dogs. We showed up and someone was in our site we booked. Slightly annoying but not a deal breaker. We stayed in a site right at the front not near most of them so I didn’t get to see most of the place. Bathrooms were gross, hang out building was dirty. Overall not a horrible place but not somewhere I’d plan to stay again.

This is an awesome campground so well kept and surrounded by trees and a beautiful little pond. Also like the other amenities like the fun clubhouse and walking trails all around.

We stopped here while passing through. We were trying to avoid the ice storms so we ended up only staying one night instead of two. The owners were available and the sites were new. The bathroom I went into was clean. I didn’t see showers but I didn’t look either. If that’s important make sure to call and ask about it. It was a quick and convenient stop.

Nice little campground tucked in the trees. Spotless bath house, small fenced dog park, clubhouse with stoves and trails through the woods. Close proximity to Little River Canyon and DeSoto State Park. Very friendly and welcoming staff

We initially made reservations for a tent site which turned out to be kinda close to the road, the host easily switched us to a site that was quieter. Nice place to stage a visit to the Canyon. Would recommend and return!
