Review of Indian Mounds Campground--by a former longterm resident. Lived here from 2017-2024…read more I came to the Indian Mounds Campground in 2017 after acceptance into a graduate program at Mississippi State. At that time, the campground was run by a different landlord than currently resides and administers the site. Then, a year later, the current landlords, Shelia and her husband, moved into the campground and took over. The change was immediate, and I think it is worth mentioning these past events as a witness to how well they do their job. Firstly, they went to work fixing the dilapidated aesthetic of the park. Gone were the piles of leaves accumulating at each campsite. Repaired were the doors and plumbing and interiors of the onsite bathrooms and showers. Replaced were the shower fixtures, toilets, and sinks. In addition each bathroom and shower was given a space heater for the winter. They dug ditches for drainage along the backside of the campground, and they cleaned up the tent camping site. New gravel was brought in, and they often scraped and re-leveled the roadway. The mail system was rationalized and ordered sensibly. Perhaps most importantly and impressively, they completely revitalized the pond--which was an eyesore when I initially arrived. They got rid of the slime and the algae, built a little dock, and added a gazebo. They have kept the pond clean with a nice little fountain feature and a family of ducks. As an aside, the ducks are hilarious--they waddle around like kings and queens and generally have a grand time. All of these things vastly improved the quality of life at this campsite, and the improvements stand as proof of their care. But they are not all. Indeed, they are constantly present during the year, helping residents deal with freeze warnings and immediately communicating about issues that arise--such as tornado warnings, freeze warnings, losses of power, and losses of internet. Oh, did I mention that they provide you internet, water and power as inclusive in their monthly bill? And that the prices are just unbeatable? At least in my opinion. If you have a camper, and you are contemplating having to move to live and work near Starkville/Mississippi State, then this is the place to go. They do a good job making sure the park is peopled with stolid and reliable residents--mostly students. Things are quiet and safe--even during football weeks when the tailgaters come in. It was just a great place to live. I really can't recommend it enough. Some downsides. The internet is not super fast. Its enough to load webpages and use Youtube, but streaming can be choppy at times. 4G cell service, however, is quite good. I was able to combine their internet with a 4G hotspot on my own service, and I found this perfectly acceptable. Also, the entrance can at times develop a bump--there is a crack in the cement roadway that they have to occasionally refill with gravel. The ducks sometimes sleep in the road, and one will have to get out of the car to shoo them away. They are also very serious about the 5-mph speed limit. (I personally find this a bonus, because it keeps cars from kicking up gravel, but they are serious about it) In summation, Shelia and her husband have created homey environment to park your rig. They keep things in good order always. They are always on site, and communication about issues is prompt. Living at Indian Mounds Campground provides peace of mind in my opinion. I had school and work to worry about--it was a great blessing to never have to worry about my home.

Rooms book up very far ahead. Older personal in room box ac style. Bathroom is tight and very humid with no ventilation. Walls are good or we had quiet guest because it felt like we were the only ones there the whole time even though it was sold out. It was mostly clean and comfortable. I did find a gum wrapper and hair in the made bed. We had mystery noises the whole stay. Our ac makes a loud noise every few minutes like a piece of plastic is banging on something internally. It didn't bother me except at night. The doors make the unlocking sound regularly even though nobody is there. Might lead Some to think Casper visits. There are only a few designated parking spots near building. Next door is the police station and behind is the stadium. You check in at guest services building and then walk behind to the hotel.

However, the true beauty in this home was not the home or antique pieces, Bernette, the owner, is the true gem when you stay at Shadowlawn. She goes above and beyond for her guests and truly cares for the people staying in her home. Mississippi is known for hospitality and Bernette epitomizes the spirit of hospitality in Mississippi. When you talk with Bernette, it is like talking with a friend you have known for years. The breakfast she makes is five-star quality and made from scratch. The rooms were very comfortable and well-designed and decorated. We slept like babies. We also were staying during a MSU gameday weekend, and the rates for our stay were great, especially considering the alternatives were very pricey and do not come with Bernette and her amazing personality and attitude. We highly recommend anyone visiting Columbus or Starkville to stay with Bernette at Shadowlawn. We are already looking forward to our next visit to Columbus because we already know where we will be staying, which is Shadowlawn. Why go anywhere else?
