Lake Tom Bailey

Sites level with a view of a pretty lake, trees to provide shade. W/E and a dump station. One toilet and one shower in the bathroom; ok, nothing fancy. Some train noise and a lightly traveled 2-lane road just behind the camp sites. Gravel/dirt parking sites. That was the problem, it poured down rain all night and we woke up in the middle of a mud puddle. All of the sites sat in 3-4 inches of water; none were dry. There was no way to disconnect hookups without wading through muddy water. So, if rain isn’t forecast this is a nice little place to spend the night off I-20. Pass it by if rain is in the forecast.

Nice little park that is close to the highway, and far cheaper than the KOA that is on the same exit. The camp ground sits just a few hundred feet from a very nice lake that has a long pier and plenty of bank to fish from. The camping spots are all grass, only took one block to level, and along a tree line so there is shade for part of the day. The only complaint I had is that there dump station was broken, and the host said they had no timeline on getting it fixed. They have a second dump station, but it is elevated so you have to have a portable waste tank to wheel it up the hill. You could hear gun fire coming from further down the road that the park sits on, but lets keep in mind that you are in the woods of Mississippi and good ol' boy like to shoot. I had no concern with the shooting, it was far enough in the distance, and plenty of woods between us and where it was happening.There is a Pilot truck stop on the same exit so fueling up as we were leaving was nice and easy.
