We are heading to Arkansas from South Florida, and decided to spend the night in Jackson, Mississippi. Mays Lake Campground is a short distance from Interstate-55, but don't rely on your GPS to get you to there. Follow the directions provided by the park and you won't have any trouble finding it like we did!
I would not call this campground a bad campground, but it would not rank high on our favorite list.Several sites have a nice water front view of Mays Lake, but gravel must be in short supply in this park. That could be because it is prone to flooding during heavy rains. All of the campground roads were dusty, and a few loads of gravel would go a long way to improving the camping sites. Fortunately, we avoided any rain while we were here, or we would have had a mud bath. But the location is close enough to I-55 that it's a convenient stopover place.
We had a nice water front site.
The picnic area could use a little grass.
The sun was going down and casting long shadows.
We woke up Saturday morning and were greeted by fog on the lake. We wanted to get an early departure today, so we couldn't enjoy this view for very long.
If all goes well today, we should arrive in Hot Springs, Arkansas by mid afternoon. That's assuming the Mississippi roads don't shake us to pieces first. We took extra care to strap everything down before heading back out on these roads, which are a cross between a washboard and a roller coaster!
