About Delta National Forest - Camping

The Delta National Forest glimmers like a great, green jewel surrounded by lazy rivers and spreading agricultural fields. The Delta is a large, contiguous block of bottomland hardwood forest, seasonally flooded timber, and small sloughs draining into the Big and Little Sunflower Rivers in the Yazoo Basin of the Mississippi River. It is the only entirely bottomland hardwood ecosystem in the National Forest System.

These are "improved" sites in the forest, which means a cleared spot, fire ring and a lantern hangar. The site itself was good as far as primitive sites go. If you want to camp in the forest and don't want to bushwhack then this is the place to go !

The campsite was clean and very comfortable for tent camping with dogs and horses. Very improved from the years past.

I never found the campsite. There are no coordinates in the rec.gov app (it takes you to 0'0' which places you in the Gulf of Guinea off of west Africa). There are inaccurate directions that tell you to turn on Dowling Bayou Rd, but there is no turn off from the 14 East by that name. And of course, pretty much no reception. After being lost for 2 hours on really bad roads (first it was gravel which is fine, then it became dried mud roads, had it rained, I would've become stuck in the middle of nowhere). That led me to a "Bridge Closed" sign after which I gave up and just returned to the main road to find a hotel because it was getting dark and it would be next to impossible to find my way in the dark if I couldn't find my way during the day. After I came home and looked and browsed around the map, I finally found a "Dawling Bayou Rd" which I have to think is the road you need to look for. However you can't get there straight from the 14 East, you have to turn right on a Widow's Bayou Rd, then left on a LInsey Rd, then left again on Linsey rd, then right on Dawling Bayou Rd if that is the right one. I had no reception so my phone couldn't re-route, and it (Google Maps) kept telling me to turn right on roads that did no exist. It was fields, and I wasn't about to just drive through someones fields (planted or not). Does anyone ever find this campsite that isn't from the area?? Honestly i wish I could get my money back.
