Getting ready to pull the trigger and make reservations at Topsail for next summer. Will be taking I-20 to Jackson MS, then Hwy 49 down to Mobile.Will be needing a place to stop for at least one night on the way back, so is there anything/any place that I would regret not stopping at. You know, something the locals know about that would be totally cool.We would be willing to take a detour on our way back.Thanks.

Would the place be a Hotel or an RV Park?

Campgrounds, since it will be in the summer would need at least electric and shower facilities, not big on the parking lot style campgrounds. Something with a little privacy or space between the campsites. Unique roadside attractions, Americana, world's biggest ball of string kinda thing.

About half way between Topsail and Ft Worth is Vidalia Louisiana across the river from Natchez MS. We like River View RV Park in Vidalia. Right on the MS River with paved walking path along the river. You can watch barges go by. In Natchez is an information center. The cemetery in Natchez is interesting. There is a national cemetery on the bluff overlooking the MS and lots of old Victorian homes. They have night tours of the cemetery with tour guides in period dress. Passport America park with discounts. One of our favorite stops. We also like Chicot State Park near Villa Platte LA north of Lafayette off I-49. If you like fishing its a nice peaceful park. are you interested in New Orleans??

Just to add another possibility: Fairview/Riverside State Park near Madisonville, LA. Has some full hook up sites. Right on the river. Just down the road is Fontainbleau State Park (down the road EAST, not far). We used to say at Fontainbleau all the time, but in recent years have preferred Fairview/Riverside.

We went from Fort Worth to the Keys this past summer. Our first night we stopped at a casino in Vicksburg. Extremely friendly staff. I had an electrical problem with my Travel Trailer so they let me change from my 30 amp site to a 50 amp (though that didn't actually resolve the issue). Offered any other assistance that they could provide as well. There is a shuttle to the casino. The office is open 24/7 with a TV and showers, etc. Not many trees or anything, but it is still a clean nice place to stay overnight. Inexpensive as well. I don't remember the exact price but it was in the $20's and I think the 50 amp site was only a couple of dollars more even though she didn't charge me the higher rate.Ameristar RV ParkAmeristar Casino
