Excellent campground. Host was professional and courteous. Spaces were all large. And the tenn Tom waterway being right behind them made for awesome views of barges and boats going up and down it. For those that have access, columbus air force base is about 4 mi away, and Commissary and px are small, but we'll stocked. Columbus is about 4 mi away and offered plenty of eating and shopping options. Propane is available at the tractor supply on your way to town. There are many walking trails on site. Did not check out the restroom/shower facilities. Will definitely be back.

This is a unique campground, not only are the roads flat making it easy to ride your bike, the walking path was a nice bonus as well as the barges coming by our campsite and cell service! All of these added together make a great place to visit. And a short ride to town for supplies or dinner out to mix things up. I cannot say enough good things about this campground. We have already make another reservation! For a total of 3 visits in just 3 months:) The attendant was extremely helpful as well!!

This is our regular stop-over RV campground when traveling south from Memphis. All sites are practically level and we don’t have to unhook from the truck when staying overnight. Campground is clean, well maintained and has nice concrete walking trails in the campground.

Quiet place to get away from hustle and bustle of life. Boat launch is convenient and plenty of truck-and-trailer parking. DH is close to town and Air Force base for family wanting to stay close to AFB.

Love this campground. This one is huge. It was just a one night stay and the person checking us in was so nice and friendly. Was thankful because we had went to previous campground that had no room and they were rude thankfully we went to this campground and was able to have a safe and quiet night rest after a long drive.

Beautiful location and wooded sites. I especially enjoy walking along the river and on the trails. Further, the cost is very reasonable.

You need paid park host . The one at the front is not friendly. We do not feel safe if we have if something happens. It will take so long for a ranger to get there.

We camped here in December. The camp host was very friendly and helpful. Our site was great. It was level and paved. We especially loved the lighted dock/walkway that was just down from us. We hope to be able to come back and stay longer at some point
