Nice quiet park with FHA.Sites for spaced out and you are not right on top of other camper. The restrooms are older and could use some dates. But they were clean. No camp host at the time we were there, but no problems.

Overall this was a really nice place. There seemed to be quite a bit of traffic in and out, but other than that, it was quiet and relaxing. The traffic was not a problem for us though. I did like that Desoto County Sheriff's Department deputies rode through multiple times while we were there which made us feel safer and more comfortable, knowing they were checking on things. Love that it was full hook ups for sewer, water and electric. We had a nice, relaxing weekend and will definitely be visiting here again.

Nice camping site, although we found a large branch along side our truck in the morning. No strom the night before. I will be looking for hazards like this before setting up in the future.

The experience was good, but we had someone riding by and threatening our children.

The water had no pressure, just a trickle out of faucet which didn't allow us to use the water hookup. No person on-site in which to report this issue. The site was total sun, no shade. There was a lot of garbage near the back of the site.
