I had a pull-through for a camper pulling a car 36-Ft camper and everything worked out good and we had it fairly level sight. Nice pond in the back and a brand new shower and laundry area. So whatever people say about the shower and laundry, it's now in a brand new building. So looks like the upgrades are great and we'll plan on staying there for the near future

We stayed at this park which is right outside Hattiesburg, Mississippi, and had a mixed experience. Our spot in the back was beautiful, a pull-thru spot with full hookups and lovely trees. I would recommend short stays in the back part of the park. However, the front of the park wasn't very nice and felt crowded. There is a laundry facility, but the dryer smoked with our clothes in it, which was concerning. We never spoke to anyone during our stay. There was a note at the front asking us to complete a registration card to check in, but no cards were available, and no one was at the office. To be safe, I wrote a note and dropped it in the drop box. The park was mostly quiet and pretty in the back, but it was a bit pricey and didn't offer much in terms of amenities. Overall, it's a nice place for a quick stay.

Had a horrible experience when my son was staying here. There was a tornado that caused a tree to fall on his camper and destroyed it. Also his car was also severely damaged. He was alright and escaped with his life. The owner of this campground was not at all concerned and even kept the monthly rent that was paid just two days prior. Think twice before you stay here.
