We stayed at Trace State Park in January in the Eagle Ridge loop, site 38. We had previewed the park while staying at Barnes Crossing in Tupelo to make sure the cell service would be good enough to work. It is! We full-time and spent just over a week here. We hadn't planned on that long but we had an issue with our truck and had to extend a few days. That was not an issue as we were one of only 4 campers this time of year. It was cold most days but the setting is so serene and quiet that we didn't mind.

As others have said, the roads in the park are horrible but just go slow and you'll be fine. We had no issues in our 40' fiver. We were in site 38 which is about a mile and a half long and sits out on its own little peninsula. Even if someone had been in sites 37 and 39, this site sits so far out that we wouldn't have seen either of them when looking out our windows. I work from the road so cell service is critical. On Open Signal I was testing at around 100 Mbps on Verizon, so needless to say, signal is good. We were able to stream and work at the same time.

Across the lake is the Pontotoc Country Club and campers at the state park get to golf for free! You just pay the $15 cart fee. Tee times are needed on weekends but on weekdays you can just walk in. "Country Club" may be a bit of an exaggeration but the course is nice.

They have laundry, 3 washers and 3 dryers (in the Eagle Ridge loop) which are $1.50 each. Just be sure to bring quarters as the not-too-friendly staff at the front office don't ever seem to have quarters. Wash time is 29 minutes, dry is 60 and you can add time with each additional quarter before the cycle ends.

There are no trash cans actually in the campground, which is odd. There are 2 huge dumpsters at the split in the road between the Eagle Ridge and Deer Run loops but it's quite a hike to get to them. There is also no recycling anywhere in the county. Big negative.

There are 3 main hiking trails between 3-6 miles. Not terribly challenging but not just flat trails either and you go through some beautiful scenery.

We loved this campground and definitely want to come back when it's a little warmer and we can enjoy sitting outside without freezing. There is sometimes a little road noise in the distance but not bothersome at all. You get some fishing boats going by now and then, some geese, but man is it normally really quiet! The town of Pontotoc is about 15 minutes away but there's not much else around so be sure to stock up before you come in. We camped at Trace State Park in a Fifth Wheel.

This RV park was very nice to stay at. It is a few minutes from town which makes it quiet and convenient. There might not be anyone on site to help you when you check in, so give a call ahead of time to get the info. The sites are gravel and pretty level. There are a few longer term residents that are so nice and a pleasure to chat with. The inside of the buildings are absolutely pristine. The laundry room and bathrooms were immaculate and so was the impressive game room. There is also a work out room as well.
