18 sites, unmarked and of various sizes. All paved. Picnic tables and fire rings. Bathroom was clean with flush toilets and hot water and soap for the sink. The whole campground is beneath very tall pines and well shaded. Convenient trails are close by for some hiking. Better than some paid campgrounds we've stayed in.

This was a great little spot for a couple of days passing through from Alabama to Arkansas. The spots are a bit confusing, nothing is numbered. You basically find what's open and claim it. Some are more level than others.

However, the ease of access, bathrooms, water, and trash make this a real gem. Plus a nice hiking trail up to the Little Mountain overlook was a nice treat and a great way to stretch your legs. There are picnic tables, tent pads, trash, and fire rings throughout.

Also to note, if all of the camping spaces are full, there is plenty of overflow parking at the picnic area and the overlook area. Though these are not designated camping spots they are an option for a quick overnight if you roll in later in the day/evening.

Stayed on a Saturday night in May. Lots of open spaces to choose from. It was clean and quiet. I had some spotty cell service during the day but none at night. I wore closed shoes but my wife wore sandals and got a dozen bug bites on each foot near the picnic tables in just a few minutes.

This is a great FREE campground. I didn’t see any homeless folk around!
Quite clean campground and free so don’t listen to the whining campers.

This campground on the Natchez Trace Parkway offers all paved pull-through sites with fire pits, tables and lantern hangers. No hookups, but there is a restroom with flush toilets. Sites can be confusing as they are really unmarked, and many sites turn out to have multiple layers of pull throughs, and some pull throughs actually serve 2 sites. Some minor traffic noise from the hardly-trafficked NTP. Most of the noise is from the heavy equipment at the adjacent Choctaw county landfill, covering the days garbage. Lots of back up alarms and tracked dozers clanking across the ground. Not quite tanks pushing through the Ardennes, but close, lol. All in all it’s a great spot for a nite or two.

Cleanest Flushing Toilets And Bathrooms I’ve Been To Yet. All The Sites Pull Through.The Only Drawback Is Many Pull through sites have two sites, So You Might Be Close To Someone. They All Come With A Fire Pit And Picnic Table. And Even Have Trash I Gets Picked Up Every Day. Even have water fountains throughout the campsites but they are turned off for the winter. We were worried about her Internet for work with AT&T to only two bars but have had no problem streaming video.

Someone lost a gray cat with green eyes and rings around its tail. It’s still here January 2022 kind of skittish and comes through the front sites a couple times a day. So if you come back for them you will prob see them.

This Campground is one of 3 National Park Service campgrounds on the Parkway. It's biggest attri ute is it cost nothing to stay here. It has paved sites, but they are a bit oddly laid it. Some are right next to each other; others are lined up in a row. Most are pull through. Most are not level. Ours had a firepit but no picnic table. It is set among mature tress and was quiet. The bathrooms were very clean, with running water but no showers. There are no hookups here, and no dump station. It is entirely dry camping. But for the price, you can't really complain. I would stay here again.

I travelled here with a 35’ 5th wheel, long bed pickup and parked in site #6, an E/W, BI site for no charge. Roads and sites are asphalt. The roads are a little tight, but I just drove very slow. The layout is a little odd in places. I drove the entire campground and then circled back as the first site I chose had a huge water puddle right where my front door ended up. Most sites would not accommodate my trailer due to trees being right at the edge of the pavement, a tight curve, or a shared entrance/exit that could have been blocked if they were occupied by another longer rig. I chose #6 cause the door would be on the picnic table side rather than the road side. The bathhouse was clean and had flush toilets which was a surprise for a free, FCFS park. I was expecting vault toilets. I had no cell service, wifi or OTA channels. There was some road noise, but it was very quiet at night. The park was generally empty by 10 am and started to fill up around 3:00. It was never totally full while I was there, but it was early in the season. I would definitely stay here again.
