Satellite TV is unlikely. Most all sites have heavy tree coverage. We were in site 6 and thought our southern pointing dish would find it over the trees but it did not. Site 12 may be the most open spot. Not all sites have sewer hookup. Nice large sites with concrete pad and nicely traveled patio area. Perfect camping if you want a woods feel, quiet and relaxing. Camped in a 45ft motorhome.

Beautiful park nestled in a forest. Large campsites. Very quiet and peaceful. No traffic noise except the occasional boat. Nice paved walking trails. Saw lots of wildlife. Park is very close to Columbus and easy to get to. If you need supplies, you can find just About anything there. Park employees are very friendly and helpful. The employees keep your campsite very clean. This was our first trip but it won’t be our last!

Very clean and well kept camp site. All of the sites are flat for easy setting up. The campground hosts do a good job keeping everything in check and are very helpful. Beautiful place to go.

I loved the location and the view of the water. I did not like that the gates close at 10 pm. I came to MS for my grandsons birthday. We had to leave the party early with my 80 yr old parents to make the gate before it closed. My parents were at the end of the campground and could not have walked they far late at night to their trailer. I also wish there was sewer on the sites or at least a place to dump your gray water. Other than that we loved the campground.

Campsite was spacious and clean. The facilities were well maintained. The staff, however, were unfriendly and overbearing. We will not be back to this campground.
