Stayed here many of times! A few things to note when staying are what is in the park’s control and what is not.
Not in their control:
-mosquitos, the whole area is full of them. Between the Mississippi River, rice fields, and Lake Chicot there is a lot of places for them to breed. That’s just a fact of the south. Bring bug spray and make sure to use screen doors/windows.
- cell service, it’s a regional thing most of the surrounding area has minimal service, makes it great to just get away from reality for awhile and chill out but not so great if you are wanting to just play on your phone the whole time.
- The old trees, this one is a mix. Because on one hand they provide shade but on the other because of their age, they are prone to dropping limbs in storms. The owners have been trimming them or removing them to keep people safe but that also cuts back on the shade.
- the highway, yes it’s noisy. Not as much as staying in the city but it’s not silent either. If noise is concerned, I would suggest staying farther off from the highway. But the highway being there is something that the owners can’t control.
In their control:
-the internet. Has not been the best and often won’t connect or is slow BUT they were working on installing high speed fiber optic internet the last time I was there, so super excited to see it up and running next time!
- keeping the campsites maintained. This has honestly depended on when I have visited, back to the “not in their control” is if it has rained a ton, then it’s a muddy mess. But that’s because their is only so much water the ground can absorb. They’ve consistently been working on fixing the gravel and adding concrete pads the last few years so this has improved greatly!
-cleanliness of cabins. Keeping in mind you will never get rid of the mosquitos, I have never had a problem with any roaches, bedbugs, or other critter. They have always been clean and well maintained. They definitely have an old style vibe but that honestly matches the area. The delta has a dated yet rich history. Highly recommend the flood museum in Greenville, Ms!
-friendliness of staff, I have never had a problem with the staff, they have always been kind and courteous. That being said they are no nonsense. If you are expecting to come in and be rude and demanding and just have them bend to your will because “the customer is always right”. Remember that it is a family owned business not a corporation. There is not a CEO trying to make a buck any way they can. It’s a family that has made a business to provide a service the was missing from the area. They don’t have to put up with unnecessary rudeness.
-updated facilities. A lot has changed these last few times I have visited, improved dock, updated bathhouse, improved pavilion. It’s nice to see things getting a facelift!
All and all I have always enjoyed my stays here and look forward to going back soon!
