Campground at Barnes Crossing Tupelo MS

Stayed at this nice CG in March on our way to FL. I wondered what kind of damage it sustained. From the map and news reports it was in the direct path of the storm.

  • I think that it went east of the campground. DD works at the Staples that is at Barns Crossing on the other side of US-45. She said it crossed the juntion of US-45 and US-78. The Stapes 1/4 mile from the campground was not hit. We stay at The Campground at Barnes Crossing when we visit them with the RV. Give them a few days and call, power in that area was down
  • That would be a shame - nice CG. Loved its proximity to the Trace (and I'm sure the Trace got some damage as well. Sad for the folks affected by those storms.
  • I've stayed there also. In May, if fact. Hope everyone was safe.

    Evidently the Vanelli's restaurant, not far away, was destroyed. We ate there and it was great. Likewise the nearby mall took some damage.

    Wouldn't want to face a tornado in my RV. I hope everyone was able to take shelter.
