Driving directionsTake Exit 227 off of U.S. Interstate 55 Highway toward Water Valley, MS. Go east on Mississippi Highway 32 for 6.9 miles. Turn left onto County Road 41 which turns into County Road 557 for 0.8 miles and the destination is on the right.
The campground is accessible by County Road 557, which is noted to be narrow and challenging for larger rigs. A user review states, 'The worst part is County Road 557 (off Hwy 32), the road into the park. It’s narrow & difficult to pass someone if you’re in a big rig. Also, the trees need to be trimmed. We had to zigzag down the road trying to keep limbs from scratching & damaging our coach.'
