The area is very clean. My only complaint is the placement of the grill and picnic table. They were almost I. The neighboring site.

There was no park host that we saw. The campground was clean and organized so someone was maintaining it. The lake seems to have disappeared?

Without a gate and no hosts on site, there's a lot of criminal activity. There was a domestic incident and since it was after 16:30 there Rangers were not at work. We told the Rangers the next day about it and they said the people were getting evicted anyways for non-payment. We left a day after that, and they were still there with no signs of leaving. Not sure what the "host" do here, or at least I think they are host since they have wooden skirting around their 5th wheel and about 4 vehicles...free rent I guess (same goes with the Desoto County Sherrif Deputy staying here). At least the grass is getting mowed now.

its a place to stay if you need to go into Memphis, but that's all (no gate and no host so it can be party central for the weekenders)
