Ameristar RV Park

This place was great for a stopover. My price was with Good Sam discount. So despite the pool not being open or the shuttle to casino not running, I still feel like it was a good deal. Electric and sewer were really all I needed. The place was half empty but we were still put close to others; I guess there was a reason behind that. Like I said, great for a stopover.

This is the third time we have stayed overnight at Ameristar RV Park. The park is a convenient location when traveling from the Pensacola area on trips heading west. Access to the RV park is easy and no issues with our class A RV with our towed attached.

We stayed in a 50A full hook-up site. All of the sites are pull thru sites and it makes it easier to stop overnight when you have back to back travel days. The cost was $30 plus tax,

With the RV Park still operating under the COVID-19 protocols the check-in process included the welcome packet on the door of the office. You pay by phone the next morning starting at 8:30 am local time (CDT/CST). Other changes include the laundry only being open during the business day, pool closed (it does not look like it has been maintained in a while), and the restrooms were not available. Two years ago, the restroom/showers, laundry, and pool were nice and clean.

One of the benefits we have taken a couple of times with staying at this RV Park is the buffet at the casino. We did not do it this trip and I do not know if the buffet is open.

If you come here, be sure to set your GPS at the 725 Lucy Bryston St address (true location) rather than either of the Washington St addresses in the email confirmation. The Washington St address will lead to the Casino, down an impossibly steep hill with hardly any room to turn around. The phone number on the email goes nowhere either.

The staff on duty was of the "it's not my job" type. The washroom area (showers, WCs) is closed but the laundry is open 8am-4pm. No WiFi, but cable available.
Each site (thankfully) has electric, water and sewer. There is no dumpster for trash bags, just some trash receptacles dotted around the park (see photo below).
The positive points are the location near Vicksburg, cleanliness, and low price.

Easy access from I-20. All sites are pull-throughs, a little narrow but full hookups on concrete pads. Some trees need trimming for taller rigs. There is train noises during the day but I didn't hear them at night. The location is across the street from the casino if that is your thing. Downtown Vicksburg is just a 10 min drive (Key City Brewing and Cottonwood Public House were worth our time!) and the Vicksburg National Military Park is a must-see, the visitor center and the USS Cairo Museum was closed but we were able to see the USS Cairo which is the only remaining iron clad warship from the civil war!

Full-timer stopping for a week on our way west. Middle of winter Jan the park is very slow only a few sites filled, many overnighters since it is just of interstate 20. Had little contact with the staff here so cannot comment on their service. We ended up in a 30 amp site and it was a bit short for 40ft 5th wheel and full-length truck.

Plenty of shops for supplies nearby take the backroads just a couple of miles and see the CW monuments on the way to Kroger/Walmart/Post Office/ UPS/Mall ETC etc.

Sites overall were level however there are several sites that have challenges. I was shocked by an overnighter who was put in one that would have required a minimum 8 inches to get their class A level so be careful of the sites nearest the office area. Overall the sites become more level about the middle of the park toward the railroad tracks. Even in the winter, the railroad tracks were not that bad noise-wise to me. As others have mentioned the pads are concrete some cracking but sufficient. There are a few trees about the park but don't count on these for shade.

We are Full Time RV’ers and we stayed here for one night. Would have liked to dry camp in their adjacent parking lot but was told we could not until park was full. Not sure if they would have sent security to us or not but there was one 50amp available so we took it,
Lady at front desk was very nice and checked us in quickly.
Sites are quite close and the park has many people who are staying long term for their jobs. All amenities worked very well, sites were quite level; however, our site was not well maintained with ruts in grass, not mowed or trimmed, pieces of insulation laying on the ground and cement was cracked in several places.
For the price and being a Casino campground we expected a nicer, better kept park.

If coming thru again we would come in later and just dry camp or find another park to camp at.
