Rising Star is a wonderful park and campground. Been camping here since I was a kid with my family. Always clean and kept.

Water/electric hookups. Many sites on water; but the woods ones are nice looking too. Lots of jon boats yesterday & today so I’m going to assume the fishing is good at the moment. Bathhouses are small but are just as clean as the ones at Catherine’s Landing— immaculate. Grass is mowed to perfection. Nice playground with slides/swings & ample area to run/throw a football. Every site has shaded picnic tables; they have mini pavilions over them. Nice large pavilion with a fireplace as well— perfect for a family gathering. (It has grills on each end plus a larger grill right by it) There is a small basketball court. Paved sites. Nice roads for riding bikes for kids within the site. You are not very close to your neighbors; these are not wall to wall. While it’s not “close to” anything, if you want to be outdoors, gather with friends/family and let kids play/fish.. it’s pretty great. Have fair/good phone signal. Dish tailgater connected easily to watch the Hogs play later; finding satellite signal was no problem. I think I’m sitting about half an hour from Taylor’s Steakhouse which is always worth your time. 10-12 mins to the closest truck stop gas station.

very tranquil and peaceful, enjoyed our stay until we left when we had to go to the dump station, we had to go to the end of the D section and around a loop to bee able to enter the dump area correctly and the loop was so tight one of my hydraulic leveling legs apparently hit one of the concrete curbs aroud the circle and was bent, going to be an expensive repair.

Beautiful setting and well maintained and peaceful grounds. Caution is needed driving the access roads to the campground as they are very narrow .
