Stayed at Rivertown RV park twice this summer. Easy in and easy out with plenty of room. Friendly people and the park is clean and well maintained.

We were there a week ago and agree that some of the sites are very unlevel - front to back. All the sites and roads are paved with grass in between the sites. Some 30 amp, some 50 amp.

Since this thread includes "attractions" I am going to suggest you go see the Vicksburg National Military Park. You can drive through the area and stop at various sites where key Civil War battles were fought. At the end of the drive is the ironclad Cairo. It was fished out of the Yazoo River years ago and placed on display. It is covered and the ship has been pieced back together. It is quite impressive and you can actually walk through parts of it. Now keep it mind it is not all intact, but the frame is there and they have made a good effort for you to experience the size and layout of the ship.

Here is a link to my blog where I show pictures of it:

Cairo

Truly fascinating.

We stayed at the Ameristar which is owned by Ameristar Casino in very late February last year. It was a good place to stop.

That was our first real stop on our tour across America. If you are looking for a "resort" style RV park, this isn't it. But if you are looking for a nice clean rv park to drop the trailer while you did sight seeing, etc. it's great.

I thought I got good value for the money.

Last year on the way to Florida we stayed at the Ameristar and liked it. Clean, friendly, pet friendly and reasonable. We plan on staying again this year. The shuttle picked us up at our door for supper and breakfast. We did have to pay for meals though. Didn't have to cut loose either.

We also stayed at Askew's Landing 2 years ago. It was fine..would stay there again. Did not us bath house though.

We stayed at Askew's Landing in Edwards, MS, just a few miles from Vicksburg. It was a nice park, but we did not use the public bathrooms or showers.

We stayed at Rivertown a couple of years ago. I have some pictures of the RV park in an album about Vicksburg. Check it out.

I think things are going down in Vicksburg as far as RV parks.

Ameristar is probably the best, but it really is just a big parking lot. The breakfast was good and free the last time we stayed there. We would consider it only for an overnight.

Magnolia just off I-20 used to be a pretty good park. We have stayed there a couple of times but that was some time ago. More recent reviews are not encouraging.

About five miles south of I-20 there is the Rivertown RV park. We stayed there only once. It was pretty new then, now I see reviews that refer to it as an old park.

The Battleground Park gets consistently very bad reviews. We have never stayed there. We took the reviews as warning.

Out about 30 miles east at Edwards is Askew's Landing. Years ago we really enjoyed staying there. It is a quiet and rural setting. Some very poor reviews mostly referring to the bath house. We never used it. For that matter we always use our own trailer facilities.

And, as far as I know, these are all the choices you have in Vicksburg. If I were going to be there a few days, I think I'd check out Magnolia or Rivertown. For an overnight I'd choose the casino, Ameristar and enjoy the breakfast--if that offer still holds.
