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.

Site 64 was good until the sewer kept backing up and a horrible stench came from the sewer where it flushed into and would overflow. We complained twice while there and nothing was ever done. Water pressure was not that good either. Shower in the men's room allowed you to wade in water while showering due to poor driaining system. Other than that, great camp host and love plenty of concrete pads for us old folks. I am looking forward to improvements for this to be one of our favorite places to attend but right now a 2 star.
