We got in right before after hours. I had called ahead of time and was told that any spot without cones were spots that were available to park in. Since we were coming in around the time that we were closing, I was told to come in the following morning to make payment. I was told that we could either pay in office or over the phone with credit card. We came in from out of state to buy a home and would only be staying for one night as we were closing on a house after 2 years of full time RV'ing. When we arrived, there were TONS of sites available (now I know why), and parked in one without a cone. I had a weird feeling about the loose rules surrounding after hours check in and decided to call the front desk to make sure that they weren't in office to pay. (Called at 4:55pm and no one was available) I left a message telling them my full name, the type of RV that we had, and that we would be in in the AM to pay. We had to leave the campground at 8:15 the following morning to meet attorneys for an early meeting at 8:30 with several other people on the closure of a house, most of whom were flying in from out of state. I was super weary of their rules specifically because there was zero room for error in getting out of the RV on time because our attorney was charging $500/hour for coming in early to accommodate all parties for a closing. When we were walking out the door at 8:15 we were met by a security guard telling us that we would have to pack our things and move to another spot because our spot was to be occupied for the next month, and should have had a cone in the driveway. I asked if we could stay until 11:00 so that we could make our attorney appt. on time and she said no and told us that if we wouldn't leave that we would be towed and would have to pay to recover our 5th wheel (our pets were inside) as the mistake was simply an "act of god" because of rain (even tho all cones around us in sites were still up and there was zero flooding on the pads). Even at points seemingly accusing "someone" of moving the cone- get real! After some exchanged words with the security guard, the RESERVOIR POLICE DEPARTMENT showed up and basically accused us of trying to steal a night at the campground because we weren't registered (let me be perfectly clear: this is not because we didn't WANT TO BE REGISTERED, but because of their late night check in policy encourages it!!!) at this point, we were 30 minutes late for an appointment where several people and attorneys were waiting (costing us at least $250), dog barking, and our toddlers crying in the car wondering why we were talking to police officers, neighbors outside staring wondering about what was going on, and are basically being questioned by 2 reservoir police officers. Now- here's the thing. This situation was particularly unique because we were in a position where we were literally spending hundreds of dollars by their error. If it had been approached with maybe an apology or even just a hint of compassion, I probably would have been a much more pleasant customer to deal with. Accidents happen! I get it. But having traveled to hundreds of campgrounds with our fair share of hiccups and set backs, I have NEVER been met with so much disregard and lack of accountability for their own mistake, and also have NEVER raised my voice with someone doing their job before- but it was honestly impossible with this level of unprofessionalism and blatant misuse of power by the security guard/manager/reservoir police officer. I think her name was Brianne? Brianna? After getting a call back from the manager, I told my story, not with any expectations. I honestly didn't even want my money back. I wanted to explain that I wasn't a thief or a bully, just explain my experience so that it could be avoided later on. After telling my story, I was met with "you are the one who escalated it, so I called in for backup." The manager I was talking to WAS the security guard! She offered no apology or accountability of "staff" (herself and her reservoir police friends) or the policy. Just the act of god excuse. Im honestly not sure at this point which place deserves this review- the campground or the reservoir police? Because there's clearly no distraction between the 2. SO! If you don't mind being treated with complete and total disrespect, walking in dog poop on your site, having to clean off trash and cig butts before you roast your food on the grill (which I would not recommend), and getting a completely unwarranted police visit because you questioned having to pay a nightly rate for their mistake, then this place is perfect for you. Another thing: it's Mississippi on the reservoir- if "an act of god", which is as simple as a day of rain for these people, is a viable excuse for this campground to neglect any form of human compassion or responsibility for their guests, chances are good that you'll experience this here as well. Because, well... it rains a lot here, y'all. read more
