The office was closed but an envelope was on the door waiting for the two RV Gypsies because they had already registered. On this date, office hours were 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. So the two RV Gypsies continued on into the campground to their assigned site. But there was a giant mud puddle in the middle of the dirt road that they had to drive their RV through. Check out time was 11 a.m. on this date

Below; The picture as you look on the left is 2016, and the photo on the right is 2022 of the office.

Below: In 2016 - The roads were awful, especially the big mud puddle, but the site had nice green grass.

unhappy face in 2016 - Only a few TV stations came in here. ABC was not one of them, even though it was listed on their map. And if anybody moved around in the RV, the picture became scrambled. This has happened at several campgrounds lately. Cell phones worked. The campground had coded Wi-Fi but it also stated that other people might be able to see what others are doing when on the campground Wi-Fi. And since the campground Wi-Fi was super slow anyway, the two RV Gypsies used their own Wi-Fi which was much faster.

The campground map showed a laundry room and pool, but the two RV Gypsies did not walk around the campground to check it out. Community visitors may use the pool, but they have to pay a fee at the office.

The above comments are just the experience of the two RV Gypsies. These comments do not make the campground good or bad in general.

 

NOTE: In 2016, The two RV Gypsies did not find anyplace or anything of interest in the area to do, or in nearby cities, so they used the day to clean the RV, laundry, grocery shop, work on this web site, etc . Sometimes that is just necessary. They could have probably driven into Memphis, but Lee Duquette did not want to because they have already been there several times.

HOWEVER IN 2022, They were at this same campground and drove to the City of Coldwater, then they went to Sardis Lake and Arkabutla Dam, and then to the Senatobia, which had their main street decorated for Halloween. None of these these places were overly exciting, but they did provide for a few interesting photos and can be seen from the 2022-Mississippi menu.
