Very nice level campsite (05) on the lake. Quiet and relaxing. Close enough to Memphis attractions for day trips. Will stay here again.

One of our favorite spots for a night or two. Most spots offer plenty of room and are level. Beautiful lake and clean bath houses. We always visit Area 51 Ice Cream when passing through Hernando also….amazing ice cream!!

Nice place to camp been coming here for years it close to home so we can go back and forth to work. I wish they would open the park back up for the kids not sure why they haven't??

Close to Memphis and things but that can be a negative too. Without a gate or guard house, there is a lot of sketchy activity going on.

Need speed bumps in the park, to many people speeding through.

The camping area was well kept and very pleasant! However what wasn’t pleasant was showing up to the campgrounds and reading a sign that you HAVE to make an online reservation in order to camp. We were from out of town and didn’t know this nor did we have service. We had to drive out of the campgrounds until we had enough service to book a site. Was frustrating to have to go through all that just to be able to pull a car up and camp. I feel there should be a better way of booking a campsite other than online.

Loved our experience. We stayed 12 days in a gorgeous waterfront site. Ample time to explore Memphis as well as the Delta. The park was quiet most of the time.

The view was great and the facilities were updated. Sewer, elec, and water worked well.
Pad was very narrow (barely enough space to put stairs down). Host was MIA. The same bag of dumped trash sat inside the bathroom all 3 days and the stalls were not cleaned daily. The camper van next to us stayed and extra night that was not reserved and didn’t pay. Nobody questioned them. Will not return due to management.
