"Lovely spot near Sequoia"
We stayed in the off season so bear all that in mind: very nice setting on a river. Well cared for grounds. In season it might get/feel crowded but the expansive river and mountain views and grounds would mitigate that. Some people might complain...

"Cincinnati bound? Camp here"

"Awesome free spot - explore Natchez from here!"
Staff couldn't have been nicer when we asked about parking overnight. They welcomed us to stay 2 nights and unhook etc. They have free coffee and ice water inside.
Some might not like that the parking lot is on a slight hill - it didn't matter...
