Legion State Park

This is a small but nice park. Well kept up and we felt very safe.

Very pleasant park and campground. We reserved a site and were delayed by a day due to a snow storm. I called and we came in a day late without additional charge.

Nice and quiet however the sites are pretty close and not all have established fire pits. Easy to get in and out with our 30’ TT.

We camped here while driving/hauling the entire Natchez Trace Parkway. This is certainly an overnight stay, not a destination stay.

CONS
No personnel at entrance gate at 1pm and again at 230pm but was at gate 415pm
Phone Number posted at entrance gate office so I called, but no one answered so left voice message. Still waiting on a call back…yes, still.
Site reservation posted to site electrical box which is not viewable from roadway
No ranger drive thru campground
No park host
Not dark sky friendly as there are street lights at sites 15 and 11 with 3 street lights at the toilet/shower building
Few of the 15 sites here are level side to side. We had to get creative in our site #4 as when parked on the asphalt pad we did not have enough leveling equipment so had to straddle pad with door side on the gravel.
Huge pot holes in the asphalt parking pass site #4
No campfire “ring” at campsites so we just has a fire on the ground
No privacy from any other site
Shower curtain for toilet stall “doors” in both men and women
No park WIFI


Don’t MISS!
Mi Rodeo Mexican Restaurant near Walmart. Excellent fajitas!!
Walmart had area’s cheapest diesel
30 minute drive to French Camp and access to the Natchez Trace Parkway

This is our new favorite campground! We had reservations at a nearby campground that we decided was not for us, so we drove over to Legion state park and asked the Ranger if we could stay the weekend! He was so welcoming and friendly! I love that it’s not a huge campground full of locals. I think they all go down the road! And the sites really aren’t that close together. They’re are a couple of pull thrus that are close but honestly that makes me want to bring our friends and hang out here! Anything you need is only minutes away in Louisville including the good ole Walmart! The campground is simple yet beautiful! We will most definitely be back ASAP!! Hopefully in only 2 more weeks!
