Our Site Number: 52
Reason Selected: We were looking for natural settings in a state or federal campground along the Natchez Trace Parkway.
Setting: Mostly wooded campground right on Bay Springs Lake. Several waterfront sites with beautiful views. Many sites have privacy with trees and brush in between. Deer, turkey, armadillos, and other wildlife in and around the campground.
Guidebooks: None used
Big Rig Friendly: Several pull-throughs, but the back-ins are more suited to the larger rigs. Wonderful paved roads and sites. Plenty of room to maneuver.
Hook-ups: 50/30 amp electric with water. Two, nice, conveniently located dump stations.
Laundry: Decent facilities – 3 washers, 3 dryers
Website is decent. Rooftop satellite is difficult – only a few sites to get through the trees to a southern sky view. About 6 miles from a small restaurant/grocery/gas station with both gas & diesel. Wal-mart is about 20 miles. Sites have really nice, large patios with fire rings, pedestal tables, picnic tables, grills, posts for hanging lanterns, etc. Boat ramp within the campground. Short nature trail. Fish cleaning station. Plenty of overflow parking for extra vehicles. Bathhouses are older, but very clean and well maintained.
