There was roughly 3-4 inches of snow/ice covering the road after the snow storm from a week ago. There was no way we were going to take a chance pulling a 42 foot 5th wheel on a road that we could not see. Having never been there we did not know if there were a lot of hills as we were entering the campground. We ended up backing the camper approximately 100 yards to get turned around and left.

I come to this part twice a year, it’s my favorite part in Mississippi. It’s close to grocery stores and other commercial properties.

Great quiet park. Safe with great hosts. Wonderful views except the lake has been drained for repair to the dam. Still nice for quiet camping.

The camp hosts where not visible and their sites where junked up
The Sheriff who lived on site had a pop up and the site was junked up. The dumpsters had garbage on the ground, and it was never cleaned up.

This could be a very nice campground even without the water. The general maintenance of the campground is very lacking. Low spots that have developed over time allows water to stand when it rains. Roadway where it was cut out for improvements need repaired. Again, this could be a very nice campground if people who are in charge take pride in it.
