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.

Last minutes reservation (10 min to close) and she (sorry no name) was very helpful and stayed until we arrived. Took hubby around in golf cart so he could decide where he could park easiest as we have a Class A. It’s pretty, quiet, right on Hwy 46 so very convenient. Rules are clearly posted - will stop here again!!

I do not recommend this place to anyone. The lady there was very unprofessional and rude first she wouldn't let me have my dogs loose outside so I put up a running line then she got mad about it and called me several times while at work saying to remove it that very instant, she kept bugging me and my brother for every little thing it was so bad it got to the point where me and my brother decided to move and he was only there for one week he couldn't get a refund for the 400$ rent he paid.

We stayed here for 5 months for work. The place is clean and well kept. The manager is straight up business and has a zero tolerance for any riff raff or bull, very professional. She seemed to genuinely care about her job and the safety of all guests. The speed limit is strictly enforced, as well as the curfew. I felt safe to get out and walk around the campground with my two year old. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet, safe environment.

We have stayed here for a week so far. We will be here for awhile due to my husband's job. They are really doing some great updates to the park. Including paved roads. A lot of the camp spots have fire pits. I feel very safe here. There’s even a cop that drives thru the park at nights to make sure all is well. It’s very quiet. The owner has strict rules for the park to stay well managed. Very strict about speed limit thru park because there’s kids that ride their bikes. Manager has been very helpful and friendly to our family. A lot of reviews on here say she’s not nice but I think she just runs a tight shift to have a well managed clean park. She’s been nothing but nice and helpful to us. Appreciate how they are strict about campers not having trash laying around etc. we are pretty pleased so far. A lot of camp grounds we have stayed at before with our 5th wheel we have had problems with gnats and so far here we don’t have that problem
