Fort Massac State Park

I'll admit it; I like all the comforts when I camp. Fort Massac had electricity connections at each camp site ONLY. There are water faucets for use for the campers scattered throughout the RV park, approximately every sixth site. We filled our water tank before getting situated in our site. There is one sewer dump near the entrance to the Park.

I used the camp showers and toilets, and these are kept in good order. There is also a pair of outhouses on the grounds, which again, are kept as clean as an outhouse can be.

The campground is well-maintained, and frequently monitored by park personnel. Most sites were reserved when I arrived, and the sites are marked with the name of the occupant. There was no need to check-in with an attendant.

Incidentally, even though the Park has a rule that the park closes at 10 p.m., the park attendant told me that the only time the Park closes is when high water floods out the campground.

We stayed here in late October 2018 and had a very pleasurable experience. The plentiful 30amp sites have lots of room between them and are well-kept. Registration occurred with the friendly camp hosts, where you can buy firewood as well. The park is actually quite large and has a historic fort, visitor center, and nice biking and hiking trails. There is no additional charge for any of these amenities. It's very close to downtown metropolis with groceries and other necessities. The campsite has a dump station and multiple sources of potable water. The Mexican place together scores the street is cheap and delicious! I would most definitely stay here again if passing through the area.
