Fort Pillow State Historic Area

The hiking was great and trees in the fall very beautiful. It was a nice day trip. We had reserved a camping spot, but when we got there and saw the campgrounds we decided not to do so. The campsites are literally side by side with no privacy, there was no parking near our campsite, and the restrooms/showers were closed and you had to use a port-a-potty. There were very few signs pointing to the various sites - there was no signage for where to check in and we finally stumbled on the 'museum' where was also the headquarters. Again, good for a day trip, but skip the camping unless you want to feel like you're in a commune.

This park is one of the best in the state. Scenic hiking trails and awesome historical info. The restored fort was great. Looks like they are working on putting in a cool swinging bridge across the ravine.

An amazing park with various activities available. The campsites were all neat, the restroom was very clean and good. The park rangers were very helpful and nice. They definitely love their job and take pride in the park and it's visitors. We had firewood delivered to the site, however there are many trees down that can be harvested for firewood as well. The canoe rental was fun and the park also hosts various sunset cruises. Overall, I will definitely be back and do more!

Amazing place to stay. Pretty secluded so there isn't very much noise at night. The bathrooms are pretty clean and the campsites are spaceous and spread out. Troopers are constantly patrolling the site and made us feel safe the entire time. Not too many animals, just little guys like squirrels and woodpeckers.

Enjoyed hiking the trails here and the outstanding overlooks sitting atop the bluff over the Mississippi River. Peaceful place to just enjoy nature and its beauty while simultaneously checking out some pretty cool war artifacts.
