Agree with the May and March 2009 posts--awesome park, friendly people. A real gem. We loved our early AM walks through the loop and all the history. (This time of year, 6:30AM is the only bearable temperature time of the day!) A great value for $20, with all of the sites to see. The only reason we gave it a 9 is that there isn't much privacy (i.e., no trees or bushes) between sites. We parked in site 1, so we had one side to ourselves, and the park wasn't very full, so it all worked out well. Excellent base for exploring the area. Don't miss Port Gibson's Church Street, the Old Country Store in Lorman for fried chicken, and of course Natchez and the Trace. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We were VERY PLEASED with our 2 night stay here. The staff could not have been nicer, the park was immaculate, and the exhibits at the park were wonderful. We were about 40 mins from Natchez so we dropped the trailer and went around the city that way and it made seeing sites lots easier. Pass by the junk sites at the casinos (unless you are just there to gamble), this park is a gem. Would definitely stay again, and will. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Excellent CG if you don't have kids and want lots to do at the CG. Nothing to do there, but lots of history in the area, Vicksburg being the best. Level sites, grassy areas, some shade, quiet and very pleasant hosts, employees. If they had WiFi, it's a 10. Showers and bathrooms clean, little old but good. We'd stay again in a heartbeat. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A true gem! The best park of a four month trip. Came for a few days and stayed 10. Beautiful area on the Mississippi River with lots of history. Be sure to walk the loop, looking at the interesting tombstones, pristine condition rifle trenches and gun emplacements from the Civil War. Park is a few miles off the Natchez Trace and Vicksburg is about 30 miles away. Very quiet with the only noise being the sound of tugs on the river. Stayed in lower campground, but could have easily climbed the paved hill to the upper campground. A major pipeline is being built in the area and the workers who have occupied much of the park are leaving. Efficient laundry equipment. Poor reception for cell phone and Internet air cards. We took our computer to Port Gibson library where reception and speed were excellent. The best thing were the outstanding people who ran the park. We look forward to our next visit. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a park with two sections. We stayed in the lower section which wasn't too bad. The parking areas were on large concrete pads. There were lots of birds around. We only had 30 amp electric. Watch out for the access to the park. It is NOT at the road where you can see the campground. You must drive down the road to the museum and enter there and then drive back to the campground. Also be careful to get the code to the gate (which they forgot to give us) because they lock the gate at dusk! There is an upper campground which appears to be newer but it is up a very steep access road. I don't know what it would be like to tow a heavy rig up that hill if it were wet. There is a two week limit on stays which appears to be overlooked because they have a lot of workers here who look like they have been here for a while. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This little Park is a jewel hiding in the outback of Mississippi. It is so close to the River you can hear the tugs in the evening. The old Cemetary will keep you busy for hours reading all the history written there. An Observation Tower shows the area from above. We stopped here as we were driving The Natchez Trace in the Fall. Would stay here again and again. Great place to walk pets. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We enjoyed our stay here in a motorhome in the lower campground, space 13. The site was mostly level but did slope toward the drainage ditch. Heavy rains bring mud onto the pad. We parked on a concrete pad with room for our chairs. Grass, with a table, along side the pad. We had internet and TV. Cell phone with amplifier and antenna. The personnel were fabulous. We would return here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice little park a few miles west of Port Gibson. Lots of Civil war history. Slow down and take your time to look around this park. Sites were reasonably level. We used the 30 amp, sewer and water hookups. Shaded spots but enough opening to get satellite signal. Very nice restrooms, very clean. Park personnel very friendly and helpful. Museum was a gem. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park has a friendly and helpful staff. Cell phone reception is poor unless you are willing to climb to the top of an observation tower where we were able to establish reception. This clean park has a museum and historic cemetary and battlefield. It is close to the Mississippi River and other Civil War Battle sites. The park has "upper" and "lower" campgrounds. Access to the "upper" campground is via a very steep road on which a "running start is necessary. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Stayed here with the family as a holiday get away for three nights. We thoroughly enjoyed camping here. The area was great to see, especially for my 12 year old son, he was fascinated with the park and learning about the history of the area. We stayed in the upper campground. Facilities were clean and well maintained. The personnel were fantastic, very helpful and friendly. We will definitely be back to this campground in the future. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The park is very nice and quiet. They do have ice and propane at the museum / store. You are out a ways from a main highway about 15 minutes away. The upper campground has more shade but you have about 10 feet of grass from the pavement to the concrete pad for your RV. We stayed in the lower campground. The best sites for shade are 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10. They have a phone in the laundry room and another jack for email usage. The people are very friendly and helpful. The park ranger even brought 2 bags of ice to a motorhome that came in late in the evening after hours. A very nice place to get away from hustle and bustle. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very nice park. Very quite. The only problem is there was no where to buy ice and the park is out of cell phone area. You could use a cell phone, but it required you to go to the highest part of the park and climb about half way up an observation tower. All in all a good campground and we will go there again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

If history is important to you this is a great park to explore. The park is situated on the grounds of one of the crucial Civil War Battles and has hiking trails through the battleground and an interesting Visitor's Center. The town of Port Gibson was declared "Too beautiful to burn" by General Grant is is well worth exploring. Two camping areas; the upper is older but a bit more spacious, the lower is better landscaped a suitable for larger rigs. Sites are level and grassy with good separation. Of note: During the month of May the Grand Gulf Nuclear Power facility has its outage and the park fills with temporary workers. We camped here in a camper.
