I have stayed at Natchez State Park a number of times and can recommend it but a couple of words of caution.
1. The paved road leading to the park is a small narrow rough country road, fortunately it is not long.
2. The sign to enter the park is on your left off this road and it is small and very easy to miss then if you are in a big rig you will have to go a ways down the road to turn around (personal experience)
3. If you go to the park office in you big rig (mine is 40') you will have to unhook and maneuver in the parking lot to go back to the campground loop.
Other than those items we really enjoy that campground, the Trace and the city of Natchez. When we lived in La. we visited that area many times and never tired of learning of the history of the region.
Good tips. Thanks for sharing. About the signage to which you refer, on which road and in which direction would one encounter that? As I recall the park can be entered on Wickliff road in either of two ways: off of State Park Road nearer the north western side of the park or of Tate Road nearer the north eastern side. For less of the narrow twisty route the State Park Road might be better. Is that what you recall too?
Also, the Trace and 61 are traveling roughly parallel to each other near the park and signage may be different on one than the other. I don't know about that. Do you?
