We stayed here for a week and loved it! The site was perfect right next to the lake. Even though there isn't really much of a lake as such we saw some wildlife and the sunrise and sunsets were beautiful. It was very quiet and even though we didn't actually speak to any of the staff they were out and about driving around regulary making sure everything was good which was re assuring we found it very friendly (chatted to other campers) love the way you can pick your spot on the website! Highly recommend this park.

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.
