First no cell phone service had to go into Hernando to use the phone. 2nd. a problem on site #1 with a limb broke and possible could fall on our Airstream. We pulled out, flagged down a park ranger and told them the problem. He told us we could move to another site, and we did. Also, told us to go out online and change our site which we tried with no success. Called the number that they had posted told the lady the problem, but she could not fix it either. She said because the first night has been used, we would have to wait until the reservation run out and try to collect our money back. In the meantime I had to pay for the site we moved to #22. I called went the reservation was over told the lady the problem. She submitted a request for refund and today I got a email stating that I would get a refund. Thanks for caring.

The campground is under renovation lots of construction materials blocking many of the sites. The bathroom and shower were tidy. Camping spots very close together. The moon rise and sun rise over the lake were spectacular.

This area is not for big rvs. We have a 24' pulled by a chevy avalanche and barely made it through the narrow roadways.in the turnabout. This area is also full of trees that drop sap and nasty all over your vehicle. The spot itself was nice although only a couple spots are spacious in this area. The street was quiet and much lass campers here so we could ride around on bikes and let our kid play without much fear.

We love the Dub Patton area yet this time our experience was not up to par. We stayed at site 17, had one heater plugged and the power was continuously tripped. Nothing else was plugged in, might i add. We use the same heater every time we come and never have this problem. The water was dripping when we got there. Tried shutting it off yet it dripped the entire weekend causing puddles which made it muddy. Called the help line no one ever came and was told we couldn’t get a refund until the reservation was up. Never received a refund and the restroom was flooded also.

Our camp site was cramped and we didn’t have a fire pit. There was music blasting and the rangers which were in ear shot would not do anything about it. The worst camping experience I’ve ever had. I will not be coming back.

Very clean and quiet when we were there. RV section is located on the lake (not visible from all sites). Sites have picnic tables, fire ring, pole to hang food bags for tent campers.

Hernando MS is short drive to pick up supplies, etc. About the same to Southaven MS.

Arkabutla is very large state park with usual activities. We will definitely go again!

Camped in Class C RV with two slide-outs.

We rented spots #9 and #10 at Dub Patton Arkabutla and camped in tents. The views are AMAZING and even had water access a few steps away down the hill. The area was very clean. The bath house was clean. We will definitely camp here again! I recommend renting both spots together because they are basically on top of each other, and the view is totally worth it!!!!!
