Rating: 8 8 7 10 10 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We enjoyed our stay here. The voltage at our site (#14) was a bit low, but our autoformer took care of that. Water pressure was good and the camp host was very nice. Our site was pretty shaded, but our portable satellite could see the sky. Site 14 has one of the nicest, if not THE nicest, patios in the park. Our Verizon signal was a bit wonky, and we used a booster to help with that. 30 min drive to Tupelo, but there are grocery stores and restaurants closer by in Houlka and Houston. We would definitely stay here again. - henny38
This Park is easy to get to either from Route 15 or The Natchez Trace. We came in from the Trace and the road was a typical rural road. The entrance to the Park is marked so you can't miss the turn in. The roads within the park are easy to navigate, paved and in good condition, and there are no overhanging trees. The Park appears well taken care of and it is well groomed. One big negative for us was the fact that our site was full of cigarette butts. This kept me from giving it a 9 or higher. Our site was paved, level, and all utilities convenient to the wet bay. Since we were right on the lake if we came back here and stayed longer we would pull straight in and run the water hose and electric under the coach. There were no bugs that we had to worry about. Our site had some shade. We had a good Verizon cell phone signal and our Verizon MiFi had good reception. We were able to get a clear view of the southern sky for our DISH antenna. We would stay here again. - William T

Rating: 9 7 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We had a wonderful time. The trails are great and the hosts go out of their way to help and are super nice. If you are into trail riding and camping this is a must do place to go. The Camp is well run and very family friendly. The trails are easy to moderate depending on which ones you take. There is natural water available throughout the ride. Big rigs have no problem getting in and out. The only reason I didn't give them a ten is because some of the sites need to be leveled up. We definitely plan on going back. - Richard and Andie
Talk about personality, Stinkin' Jim's takes the cake. The owners and staff were very friendly and helpful. It was New Years, and they had great parties to which we were invited.
We did not see bathrooms or showers, our campsite was anything but level, just a post with water and electric on grass/dirt. The were lots of rv's and horse trailers, maybe their campsites were better...If you like to pet horses and feed them carrots, this is the place for you. - Vic and MarshaView more reviews and a full list of amenities for Stinkin' Jim's Horse Park and Campground »The full and proper name for this park is "Stinkin' Jim's Horse Camp." Check out their website. It'll explain it all. This camp fast becoming a favorite stop over for RVers traveling the Natchez Trace Parkway. The camp is only a couple miles off the parkway and easily driven to in any size rig-our neighbors were in a 40' motorhome and mentioned that they had no problems driving the county roads to the camp. If you want to be deafened by the sound of silence in the woods, and if you want to be awakened by roosters at 6 in the morning than this is the place for you. Wildlife abounds here!!! In 6 years of RVing, this has become our favorite campground! Check it out!! - DANANDHISBETTERHALFJUDY

Rating: 8 6 5 9 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: A little out of the way but a very nice park. Long level concrete pad and a great price. Lots of space between lots. Water and electric were good. No TV. ATT cell worked. - workcamper64
This was an overnight stop for us. We called in advance to check if there were sites available and was told that they did not reserve Passport America. I was told that there were only three sites avail at that time. In order to assure that I had a site, I reserved at full price. When we arrived there were about 10 sites vacant. When we left the next day, there were 7 sites open. I did not appreciate the false information. The park is very clean and well maintained by the owners. As noted, the big issue was the closeness of the sites. - A hitch and hop
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Natchez Trace RV Park »Overnighted here. IMO, this park is NOT big rig friendly. Yes, you can get around, but you have to watch out for tree limbs and such. Sites are VERY close. Gravel driveway needs box bladed. Had a gully cut thru close to the entrance. Park is quiet. Not fenced dog run. Some trees, so satellite may be a challenge. Easy drive to Tupelo for supplies. - TH travelers

Rating: 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Howard Stafford »Pontotoc, Mississippi has the nicest park. Howard Stafford is a city park that caters to all kinds of people. There is a lake for fishing. a play ground for the kiddies, 15 full hookups for the RV'ers and spots for those who had rather camp in a tent. It's with in the town limits only minutes to all the it has to offer. The playground was in use every day by moms with little ones and teens after school. The fishing piers, three as I recall, were in use also. You're bound to find that something you can't live without at the antique stores on Main Street. There is a Donuts shop that serves the kind we had when I was a youngster. You can't just eat one. I will also tell you. The best thing about a visit to Pontotoc is it's small town hostility of it's people. You can learn family history standing in line at the checkout of the drug store. - Laptop Willie

Rating: 7 10 6 7 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: The normal entrance into the park is closed because of road work. Because of that, one has to drive about 6 miles out of your way to go in the back way. The park is pretty far from downtown Tupelo (a good 30 minute drive) but is close to the Natchez Trace. There are 3 campgrounds here; we are in the furthest one - the Warrior Trails. Each site is paved with full hookup and the sites are levels and spaced so that you have some privacy. There is one bathhouse here which has only one shower each for W and M and only one toilet for M. It is constantly full as there are a lot of tenters who are using it too. The shower had plenty of hot water but the handle had broken off so was difficult to use. The roads are quite poor - bumpy and full of potholes so it would not be much fun to ride a bike here. Speaking of that, there are trails here for ORV. You will hear dirt bikes in the woods but otherwise it is quiet. You definitely need a car to get to groceries or any stores. The staff are pretty scarce too. It seems this park is in need of some money and TLC. - Cape Cod kayaker
We have stayed at this campground twice - four years apart. The first time in a pickup camper. This time in a 40' RV. The park staff is super nice. The grounds are very well kept. The campgrounds are great. I had 2 bars of Verizon 4G on my cell. The shower in the Horse campground was super clean, well laid out and plenty of hot water. This stay was an emergency stop due to generator issues. We will definitely come back to this campground to stay longer. - Wetravel2relax
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Trace State Park »First all the +'s: The site we had was level, with nice shade, > 170' long with WES 20,30,50 a picnic table and some rocks for a fire ring, no patio but a large grassy/sandy area right on the Lake***. The bathrooms and showers were clean with good pressure and plenty of hot water in the showers. The folks who checked me in noticed I had a 30 amp site without sewer and asked if I wanted one with full hook ups and gave me the nicest site in the park. The park was quiet peaceful and not very full. Verizon phone and Mifi worked great. The roads were easy to get around on except as noted below. Ok the other shoe is going to drop. The roads on the approach to the park and in the park are in some rough shape but low speeds will get you through the pot holes just fine. Now we come to the "Lake". They had about 300-300 yards of the go into to a slump mode on the water side of the dam. The net result is that there's no water in the lake around any of the camp sites. I was told they they "were fix'n it" but I saw no evidence of it. So if you're going to come here and think there's a lake look at the latest google earth pictures and call for an update. With the shape the roads are in I would be real surprised if they get any money to fix it within the next 5-10 yrs. On the bright side this means that there will probably be a lot of availability until it gets fixed and filled again. We'd stay here again if we're in the area. - pumper9x9
