We have RV and tent sites and rustic cabins all along side the Bogue Chitto River. I would like to thank our hard working volunteers for another successful year. If it wasn’t for their hard work Winston and Sheila McDaniel, Managers my job would be a lot harder. I’d also like to thank Ryan and Katie Brown for their help with the pool. The pool wouldn’t have been open for your enjoyment some days without them here to help. We lost a very dear friend and member this year. We will miss Bill Zile a lot. He was funny and a joy to be around. It won’t be the same without him. Our hearts and prayers go out to his family.
