The park is well kept and beautiful. The spots are hit and miss as far as being level. Ours camping spot was not level. It was the first time I’ve had to use side to side leveling wedges. At the time of this post a part of the campground is under construction. Overall a Beautiful place and we will definitely go back

Stayed on C20 for night one but just moved to C171. 13+ years of camper camping and this is the best all-around spot. Flat, concrete, full hookups at the back of the lot, beautiful, waterfront spot. Employees are extremely friendly and accommodating, especially given a full Spring Break campground!!

Beautiful park on Lake Martin. Lots to do. Ample amenities. We just camped over night but I wish we'd had more time. Hundreds of different types of camping sites.

Very good place to go camping. And it is a very good place for fishing they have playground for kids, put put golf, and an ice cream place. I have been going here for years and I will say it is a good camp site the cabins are all ways clean and they have bathhouses everywhere. 5 out of 5 stars very good camp site.

Absolutely love Wind Creek State Park. We had one of the improved sites for two weeks. The site we had was concrete. It’s was very level and clean. Park was almost totally full each weekend the WiFi never skipped a beat.

Great campsites are on the point, only negative. Some are very close to each other but a really nice campground.

Very nice park, we camped there also, swam in the lake and had a good time.

It was an honor to visit the Dexter Parsonage Museum. My family and I received a guided tour lead by Sarah (4/12/2025) who was phenomenal. She was so welcoming, knowledgeable, explained each crevice of the house thoroughly. I was so intrigued not only by the beauty and history of the home but how Sarah spoke and gave so much history behind the home plus more. I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to not only know the history of the home, but feel the history of the home to visit for a tour.

Wondeful tour. So rich in the history of MLKas a young pastor. Make sure you take a tour; otherwise, much will be missed. Well worth it!

Got there as they closed but they were nice enough to give us a tour of MLK's home the lady 's name escapes me but there were 3 of them all very nice and friendly and beautiful as well

Great hour tour. It was just what we were looking for on MLK day. The tour might not start off great. They have you watch a 10-15 min poorly produced video of the home’s history before going over. In my opinion they could completely cut that out. The talking and in-person storytelling was much better. The tour guide did an awesome job telling the story of 54-60 as though we were there. He had lots of anecdotal evidence and retrospection, meeting history. I don’t think he could have done a better job delivering historic wonderment to the kids in the group. He tailored the tour to the audience well. There may be some points that are more round about, but the tour is a well spent hour of your time while in Montgomery. Make sure to follow the Dexter Parsonage up with going to the MLK’s Church on 454 Dexter Ave!

I enjoyed this visit unfortunately both works were on lunch so we weren't able to get inside to see everything. The one employee was able to assist with giving us additional information and history about the site. We will be heading back soon.

Hidden gem! We were the only people there and got so much out of it. We had an awesome tour guide and are sad people are not visiting this place more. It's a historical landmark for the Civil Rights Movement in the U.S. This place marked me personally and I'd strongly recommend it to anyone driving through or in the area.

This tour was facilitated and led by women who were descendants of the Civil Right Movement in Alabama. These volunteers lovingly shared their personal and documented stories with us. This is an amazing tour. Thank you ladies! A must if you are in Montgomery!

The frontman was very informative! We enjoyed listening to the brief history story. The house is well kept! Very beautiful, it gives you the 1800’s movie feeling! Must visit if you’re around the area

Well done and detailed museum. I'm not familiar with Southern history (I'm a Westerner) so it's very interesting and informative visiting museums like this. It makes me want to learn more. The staff is really knowledgeable and helpful.

The visit was amazing. I would highly recommend it.

Mr. Bob was an excellent and kind host. He invited me in and let me know about this beautiful and historical museum that you definitely MUST visit to know about American history. Please feel free to stop if you're visiting Montgomery AL. This masterpiece is free.

A MUST! For everyone. This is the BEST tour we’ve had by far, by the most incredibly knowledgeable friendly and open guide - Mr. Bob. Even the kids wanted to stay more and more. What an important and unique experience that no one should miss.

If I could give more stars I would. The First White House of the Confederacy is one of the finest museums we have been to anywhere. Beautifully preserved with wonderful artifacts displaying a brief slice of history. The staff are some of the most gracious, knowledgeable and friendly people we have had the pleasure to me. This home has mostly original furnishings and detailed descriptions of each room. A definite must see, so elegant.

The people working at the museum really knew their history and had much enthusiasm for it. I'm glad to see it preserved. It's amazing to see how detailed and ornate the furniture and other items are.

I personally loved the museum! However, my kids did not and I can understand why. They’re young, and I feel it is more of an older kid/teen thing. The immersive experience was great! I really enjoyed learning about the civil rights movement, and the first hand accounts that were included. The art part of the museum was really amazing as well!

This is such a well done museum. The bus has to be seen to be believed. The story of Rosa Parks and the Montgomery Bus boycott a pivotal event that fueled the civil rights movement and got Martin Luther King Jr. Involved (was where he started in the movement) the displays and information is really helpful to understand the times and key events and that one person can make a difference.

We brought a large number of students to review the museum and the interactive display was riveting! The students related well to the feeling of living through that time in America's not too distant past. The exhibit really carried them back in time. They understood more clearly the scope of the problems that motivated many of our ancestors to act as they did to secure their freedom. Great lessons for today's organizers. Well done!

The time machine bus was fine, but the staff annoyed at us being there ruined it for us.

Wonderful and innovative exhibit. The history is so rich and wonderful. Small, but very impactful

We were in the children's wing on a field trip. I was disappointed that, although we were "riding" on Rosa Parks bus, they have information about the struggles of African Americans from 1840-1950's, which is important to know, but not much on what Rosa Parks did. It would have been nice to have footage in the video of that. They teased in the video, saying that something big was about to happen, but didn't talk about it. Instead the kids went on a scavenger hunt for info, but I don't remember that the info found was that much about Rosa, as well. I was just hoping that such an important woman would have more info about her.

Excellent presentation of the history of the Civil Rights struggle.

Good handicap parking and recommend arriving extra early for best parking and to enjoy motorsports hall of fame nearby. Food was good and get it early. Bathroom easy accessible. Fan zone and other fan meet and greet was awesome. My boys says out of all of the race tracks this one was the best overall to meet drivers.

Preferred parking is jacked up this fall. They have it stacked in here so you cannot get out. They have everyone facing the fence not the road and it rained quite a bit overnight so it will be a mudfest. NASCAR AND TALLADEGA CAN DO BETTER

Wow !! Did the garage experience pre race and it was fantastic. All the teams were making their pre race changes and firing the cars up it was very cool. Also cheap $2 hot dogs and $4 American beers in the garage area crazy good deal for a major event

Beautiful race track, huge infield, high bankings, great food, excellent security. Love watching a Nascar race at Talladega. Ive been going probably 25 years and it's always a blast.

It was on my bucket list to experience a nascar race at Talladega. My wife surprised me with tickets. The seats were great but to see, hear, smell and feel those cars when they flew by was incredible. Yes everything was very expensive and I can't really comment of departing traffic because we left before the race was done. Everything considered I'm glad we attended and grateful to my wife for making it all happen.

Awesome time. We had seats down front. If you want to see the entire track, I recommend getting ones higher up.

Best 4 day weekend ever. Races, rodeo, concerts, unbelievable partying - and best of all the 500 !

This is a pretty cool place to check out. It is pretty pricy, though. If you don't like the darkness, I don't recommend going in the cave. They turn off all the lights for a little in the beginning of the tour. If you have a little one, an umbrella stroller is fine. Just make sure you hold on to the stroller. The walkways are steep and wet.

We drove up from the Tuscaloosa area, which is about an hour and a half. Overall, the Caverns Park was clean, welcoming, and family-friendly. We booked Campsite #1, which looked nice from a distance but was very uneven and made leveling our camper difficult. Campsites 1–3 are positioned in a straight line, and Site 1 in particular is not level at all. I do not recommend booking Campsite #1 for that reason. The biggest disappointment was the bathhouse. The bathrooms and showers were unfortunately not well-maintained the ceilings had visible mold, and the showers appeared as though they hadn’t been cleaned in quite some time. One of the restrooms also had a strong urine odor. While I didn’t expect perfection, the overall condition was below expectations. Most of the park’s activities seemed geared toward younger children, roughly ages 5–12, so there wasn’t much offered for older kids or adults. That said, we really enjoyed our cavern tour with our guide, Roman, and the light show inside the caverns was a great addition. It was a fun and educational experience with some fascinating history definitely the highlight of our visit.

We camped here for two nights—Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday, the attraction area was quite busy, but by Sunday, it had quieted down considerably. The campground bathrooms had air conditioning, which was a nice bonus. Though a bit dated, they were otherwise pleasant. The campground itself wasn’t crowded—only one other camper was there during our stay. We booked site 16 for our 30' camper, and it was a tight fit due to the fence and trees. Maneuvering in was a challenge; most other sites seemed easier to access. Sites 1 through 3 are in a straight line, so if you’re considering site 2, it’s best to coordinate with someone else booking the adjacent sites, especially if you plan to leave on the same day. Overall, the attractions were fun for families and we had a great time!

We went on a Sunday and it was like a ghost town. So if you're not a fan of crowds this is the day to go. We went years ago when it was called DeSoto Caverns and the light show was great this was mediocre and considering the tickets cost it was over priced at $30+ per person. My son paid over 30 for 4 of us to do the panning for gems. And that was ok - we all came away with a few to take home.

At a constant 60° year round, Majestic Caverns offers a comfortable and beautiful underground experience. Our tour guide Davis was very friendly and knowledgeable about the cavern and it's rich history. They kindly allow photos to be taken, and I only wanted to post a couple so not to spoil the experience for others. The laser light show at the end is not to be missed! There were other attractions on-site but due to our schedule we chose to only do the caverns. There was plenty of parking and the park featured an amazing gift shop. There are clean bathrooms available, and the staff is friendly and helpful.

This place was fantastic. We went with our family and we all had so much fun. Everyone was so friendly and knowledgeable. They had so much more to do than just the cave. The cave was so much fun and very accessible and not a long hike or difficult to walk. It was a blast.

Our trail life group of 30 people got to stay Inside the cave overnight! Roman was our guide and we could not have asked for a better guy to lead the boys! He was super great with the kids! We enjoyed water gun battles, water ballon wars, a cave crawling maze and panning for gemstones. If I could give this place and Roman 10 stars I would!

Parking lot was packed but across the road there is a fenced field that has overflow parking., It’s large enough to handle a RV. The light house on top of the hill behind the store is a cool photo op. The store itself is lack luster. Unless you really want to stop, just keep going.

Great One Stop Tourist Shop!!!! Food was great and there was the most adorable walking paths that are great for stretching your legs! The walking paths were a very easy walk, slightly wooded with shade and plenty of swings and rocking chairs to relax on for a break! In the shops there is a bbq restaurant with really good food! And they even sell local honey and fresh produce and canned goods! There are multiple gift shopping options and even a TINY COFFEE SHOP! I can’t believe I haven’t stopped here before! This will be a regular pit stop when traveling thru this area from now forward! MUST SEE!

Peach Park is such a great little rest stop — perfect for stretching your legs while traveling through. They offer fresh fruits and veggies when in season, along with a variety of jams, jellies, and baked goods. You can find delicious fresh-baked breads like peach bread, plus they have a deli and a hot food bar for heartier options. They also sell ice cream, fried pies, cobblers, and pastries. The peach fried pie is huge, fresh, and absolutely delicious — the crust is perfectly golden and flaky. The ice cream tastes fresh and creamy too. Inside, there’s a boutique with cute items, but the prices are on the higher side. The same goes for the Peach Park T-shirts — nice, but a bit pricey in my opinion. There are plenty of seating options both indoors and outdoors — tables and chairs, picnic tables, swings, rocking chairs, and even a patio area. The decor is cute and welcoming, with some small gardens and walking paths around the property. Behind the store, there’s a paved trail that goes up a hill to a playground, and you’ll often spot birds and squirrels along the way. They’ve also set up several fun photo spots, including an old tractor with steps added so you can easily climb up for pictures. The bathrooms are clean, and the whole place has a friendly, charming vibe. A neat little stop — definitely worth pulling over for!

Nice and clean. Parking lot lines need to be repainted. Parking can be difficult at peak times. Love the fried apple pies. Large enough for two people to share. Inside the food court is kept a little too cold. Definitely a place to stop and visit.

We were celebrating my son's birthday! They had a singer there that day and he was really good! It was country music and one gospel song to wrap up his set. I love that they have a small play ground for the kids and plenty of photo opportunities!

We stayed at the Campground for one night as we were just passing through. Full hook up and water for $32.00 buck a night, work for us! Peach Park has breakfast from 5a~10am for purchase. We felt safe and it was conveniently located right off the Highway and is close to restaurants. There is a playground there for kids. Be sure to get some Peach Ice Cream during your stay 😋

Cute little place! Coffee was delicious and the girl that made the drink was so friendly! Wish I had more time to shop around the market & boutique!

Maybe the best curated museum we've ever been to. I love bikes and this place was golden. Just enough info about each bike to tell you its place in history without giving you too much to make it boring. They keep nearly every bike in running condition. They said 95% of all the bikes could be up and running in a few minutes. Their restoration shop is to notch. Having the race track outside is a huge entertaining bonus. Go see this place if you like motorcycles at all.

Visited today with my elderly mother, my sister and her husband. An amazing place. Beautiful grounds, pristine and huge collection of bikes and cars. Great views of race track. Interesting bike design area and the staff were friendly, helpful and made it a wonderful experience. I’m from Australia and as a car, motorbike and motorsports nut it was like being a kid in a candy store. I hope to visit again soon. It’s the kind of place I wish I could work at. Highly recommend you visit too!

We were on a trip from Nashville to New Orleans and we saw this museum right on our way. We said we must see what’s goin on in there. Turns out A LOT is going on. Personally I was not very interested in close-history or current motorcycles but vintage ones were wonderful. All those bikes, army vehicles and everything else. One word: wonderful.

Wow! We went on Halloween, it wasn’t busy at all. Absolutely incredible and beautiful museum. So many motorcycles! The race track was gorgeous. It’s immaculate and just breathtaking. The museum is huge, I wish we had a whole day available to take more time there. No expense was spared on all of this, it’s fancy. It’s so unique, informative, interesting…definitely a must see for anyone who appreciates vehicles.

This place is amazing. The world's largest motorcycle museum. Many rare and unique cars and motorcycles. If you are a fan of motorsports then you will love this place. It also has a large track. Jim that works here is a really cool guy. Thanks for showing us around!

If you love motorcycles , this is the place to visit. Exceptionally curated and full of vintage bikes plus a few cars like the beatles rolls royce and Lotus race cars. There's also an onsite track and all located within 880 acres so no one else will ever be around.

This was a little birthday gift for my husband. He was quite surprised and thoroughly enjoyed visiting the museum. Definitely something to go see, even if your not a sports fan.

This place was amazing! Beautiful views and me and my daughters first time hiking. You have to pay to enter the park. And maps were a $1. Walked a trail and also visited the treetop area with the injured owls that were taken in. Very interesting visit. Would definitely go again.

We loved the Double Oak lake! It's never too crowded and the atmosphere is refreshing. This was our last lake day of the year today with the kids and the weather was perfect. There is a beach volleyball court and Pavillion acquired grills. If you don't want the beach part there are grassy park areas to picnic, there is a concession stand that offers gear and snacks.

Loved the fall view from our cabin. Great value. Easy nearby hikes. Nater center wonderful with great info. Looks like they work hard to reduce invasive plants...but the bird window looked like invasive nandina may be present. Windows protected by bird friendly surfaces. Thanks! Reds were sasafrass, sumac, tupelo, sourwood, red maple, and even some dogwood!

Oak Mountain is a beautiful state park. Sites were level, with full hook ups available and good tasting water. The bathhouse was ideal: several heated and private toilets, showers, and sinks each in their own handicap accessible unit. There are numerous hiking trails and opportunities for outdoor activities. We stayed there while visiting historical sites in Birmingham. One downside was that the campfire wood was too dense to make a good campfire. We couldn't even split it with the hatchet. If you like campfires, bring plenty of fire starter and plan to hunt for kindling.

Great place to run, hike, trail run, bike, kayak and any other outdoor activities you can think of. Trails are well marked and you can also get a trail map at the front gate when you enter the park. They have a bunch of fun events at Oak Mt from biking & bmx track races to 5K and many other races on a weekly basis. There is also a beautiful golf course and great campground.

Wow...This place is amazing. Largest state park I've seen in any state to date. Lots to do here and there is something for everyone in the family. Golfing, horseback riding, archery, biking & mountain biking, scenic drives, fishing, hiking, water falls, beaches with floating obstacle course, wake boarding on a wire, swimming, play grounds, picnic areas, accessible trails, etc. I also camped here for the weekend in the RV park area. Spacious camping spaces with pull throughs and full hookups. There is a heavy state park trooper presence here, so quiet hours are strictly observed and departure and arrival times are pretty firm. Town is fairly close and you can be to the grocery store, ice cream, coffee, etc. within ten minutes. Target and Walmart are a little further out, but are within a 20-30 minute ride. Camping World and the RV Super Store are within a 30-40 minute ride. Downtown Birmingham is also within 30-40 minute ride. Lots of antique shops in the area with some pretty cool stuff and lots of good finds.

Four-night stay at loop A of the campground of a 15-park 10-week adventure. Saying it is a very nice park is an understatement. It seems to have been recently renovated. The water, sewer, and electricity connections are new. Some of the sites are a little too close to the neighbors but ten to fifteen are isolated enough for us. The bathhouses are state-of-the-art. The park is huge, with lots of hiking and biking trails. The Alabama Wildlife Center is amazing. We visited a second time just to see Shelby the bald eagle eat again. She can’t be released due to an eye injury. On our first visit an education specialist asked if we wanted to meet Monty the Mississippi kite. Sure! Monty had to stay inside two nights due to freezing temps.

The gardens are the perfect place for a fall orchid show! The Alabama Orchid Society recently hosted their annual show there and it was great as always. Lots of beautiful orchids displayed in creative exhibits for the visitors to enjoy. Orchid sales were brisk as buyers were faced with the difficult decision as to which ones to purchase. Such a great dilemma!! Congratulations to the club and the gardens for a fabulous weekend of beauty.

Beautiful gardens! We stopped here on the way back to the airport after a quick visit to UA in Tuscaloosa. So glad we came! First, it’s free (which is impressive for the quality of the gardens). Second, the Japanese gardens were amazing. We go to gardens like this often, whenever we visit a city. These were some of the best.

This was my first visit to the gardens, and as a newer transplant to Alabama, I couldn’t have asked for a lovelier introduction. I visited on a Saturday morning around 10 a.m., and there was a smaller presence; not overwhelming, just the way I like it. Even without exploring the entire property, we spent nearly two hours wandering the grounds. The rose garden is especially captivating, a fragrant and colorful haven that invites you to linger. The greenhouse, while charming and full of character, could use a bit of extra care for some of its plants though. The Japanese-inspired section, with its graceful bridges, bamboo, and koi pond, was a highlight — tranquil, picturesque, and thoughtfully designed. Every corner of the gardens seems to whisper an invitation to photographers; in fact, we noticed a family having professional portraits taken during our visit. (For those planning similar sessions, it’s worth reviewing the venue’s photography guidelines in advance- see photo) Before leaving, we stopped by the gift shop, which was an absolute delight, filled to the brim with exquisite, one-of-a-kind treasures. I could have easily spent another hour browsing its elegant displays. What a hidden gem, tucked away in the quiet residential streets of beautiful Mountain Brook. A visit here feels like a step into serenity itself.

Great place for a two hour visit before a flight. Fairly easy to get to and lots of free parking. This is a pretty large park with a lot of different areas with various themes or regions of plant species. My favorites were the Japanese Garden and the indoor tropical gardens. But there are paths everywhere, water features, and a lake with Koi and turtles! Nice gift shop that is more like a garden center. Plenty of bathrooms. And this whole place is free! Incredible!

Birmingham Botanical Gardens is an amazing place that features more natural beauty than I could hope to describe in a single review. Rose gardens, Japanese gardens, vegetable gardens, ponds, and so much more are here, and everything has obviously been cared for by folks who take real pride in their job. The Conservatory/Greenhouse is closed on Mondays, so plan accordingly. If you're looking to clear your head and enjoy the abundant beauty here, I'd recommend showing up early on a weekday. There are plenty of walking trails to explore. The on-site gift shop has something for everyone at any budget. They also offer lots of plants and garden decorations. There is a map available at the entrance as well as a QR code to a map to help you navigate the grounds. Bathrooms are available and are fully functional. I'm already looking forward to the next time!

So this place was very beautiful in a lot of areas. I was disappointed the zoo was closed on a Monday? Not sure if they’re affiliated but I did see a sign. The store I really liked with the plants, pumpkins etc. I didn’t really care for the customer service from the women in the store working in there. I do believe this gardens could be so much better but hey there’s no fee to get in.

I enjoyed my visit to the gardens. The majority of the paths were shaded and though it is a hot summer, it was a pleasant morning walking among the trees. The bamboo forest was a nice touch and I enjoyed all the bodies of water. It is such a wonderful resource to the Birmingham community for this to be free to the public. I highly recommend visiting, especially if you live locally.

The park itself is nice. Often times there are too many people inside at once which leads to a large pool that has zero room. The lifeguards blow whistles every 2 mins with little to no direction. They had to jump in to save someone today all because they allowed too many people to jump off diving board at one time and the person had to wait in deep end while others were using same ladder. If you catch it on a slower day it’s great. Bring water shoes. The walk to rides is brutal on feet in the heat.

My fiance and I took our kids and neice yesterday! We had a blast on the slides and in the pools. The pizza was pretty good too. Fun for all ages!

First timer….very happy with the slow river ride…all the areas of water covered every age group and plenty of places to sit and enjoy the whole experience…would recommend highly!!

A great family friendly water park! The rides are great! I wish they sold Point Mallard fridge magnets. I would love to come back here to camp!

Clean and well maintained! The scenery was so beautiful with the water park being along the river! I was worried it would be too spread out and a lot of walking but it really wasn’t. It wasn’t over crowded and we were able to find chairs in each area. Our family of 5 (kids ages 6-11) had a blast!!

Our family had the best day here! Reasonable pricing, military & veteran discounts. Water fun for ALL ages. Wasn't overcrowded and the lifeguards were extremely helpful and watchful of all the children. We will definitely be coming back.

It seemed run down in several areas. Not what i remembered! But the hot air balloon event was cool! Beautiful, colorful balloons! All the vendors were pretty expensive though! A good variety of different foods!

It really is beautiful. We took several hikes on the well-groomed trails. The view from our amply-sized room was peaceful on the nice big balcony. The desk staff was friendly. The lodge was undergoing some much-needed renovations in the rooms. The walls were dingy in our room, especially in the bathroom, but it seemed clean enough. I'm glad I called ahead to find out just what 'kitchenette' means to them (individual pod hotel coffee maker, mini-fridge, and microwave). We brought an electric fry pan. I would also recommend bringing your own coffee maker and coffee.

Took the pontoon boat scenic tour of the lake. The Captain was great and highly informative. Lash's restaurant provides the food in the restaurant and it's really very good. A little more expensive than if you go directly to Lash's. Highly recommend the boat ride.

We camped 2 nights at the Joe Wheeler State Park campground. We had a campsite in the older A area. The campsites are quite large and shaded, and camping areas were clean. There was a table and firepit with a grill that folded over it. The bathhouse was fairly clean but old and in need of repairs, i.e., most of the toliet doors didn't have a latch, and one of the sinks, you couldn't turn off the water completely, the soap dispenser was broken and no soap provided at the sinks. The outside sinks were completely unusable. The newer camping areas looked nice, but I didn't go inside the bathhouses. These areas had some trees, and some campsites were shaded, but many were not. You can reserve and pay for your campsite online, and you are sent the code to get in. There is a gate that closes at 1am, and you can't get in after that. There is a small playground and there is a sandy swimming area. The staff at the office and small camp store are very friendly and kind. We would go again but maybe stay in the newer area.

This was my first visit back since the tornado did its damage. I was only at the beach area, but was very pleased with how the area was renovated. The pavilion is big with lots of picnic tables and the bathroom was clean. We missed not having the dock to swim out to, but still had lots of fun swimming in the water and playing in the sand.

First time visiting alabama. Spent a week in the cottage number 3. Unit was clean and very accommodating for four adults. Nice dock in back yard for fishing or docking boat in between foshing sessions with power outlets available.for charging. Highly reccomend!

We were visiting my uncle in Rogersville Alabama and visited Joe Wheeler State park and absolutely looooved the rocks over the water downhill from picnic area 3 I believe it was. Gorgeous view and so peaceful. We were shocked hardly no one was in that area on the rocks..really just us and 1 man that was fishing.

This campground has a great view of the lake. Loved our campsite, level, wide gravel site. WIFI, good water pressure, full hook up! It has been refurbished after a terrible storm came through and they built it back "right!" They are still building and adding sites. They have sites with some shade but our site was in the wide open space, good for our satellite. Local TV was good we usually like keeping track of the local weather. 0ct. 2, 2025 Big rig friendly!

Amazing tour & very knowledgeable guide. Reasonable cost. Even kept my littles engaged with entertaining them with facts & information that was understandable to them. The museum room was FULL of items with labels to explain the significance of the items.

A must visit when in Tuscumbia area. Beautiful grounds and nice historic home. Don’t miss the play The Miracle Worker each Friday and Saturday evenings June-mid July. The play is so well done and the local talent is awesome! Helen Keller was an amazing lady and it’s nice seeing her home, learning more of her history.

Ivy Green is a wonderful historic site. Great personal tour of the home is provided by the knowledgeable tour guides in about a 15 minute informative presentation. You can then tour the remaining 10 acres on your own. Allow about 1 hour plus for the visit. The amazing part is the outdoor 2 hour amphitheater play on site ‘The Miracle Worker’! Outstanding cast and unbelievable performance. The play is presented only during certain days so check the calendar.

Step back in time. Great visit.

Amazing. If you’re ever in the area this is another must place to visit. Helen Keller Birthplace

My girlfriend loved the tour

Delightful visit with talented guides.

You are in for a treat if Jane is the docent, you are lucky enough to have as the guide. Jane made it a wonderful story talking about not just the architecture of the house but also the architect, Mr. Frank Lloyd Wright himself as well as the family and the late 30s time frame. Fascinating story of how the only FLW designed house came to be in Alabama - well worth the money. The 1 hour time just flew by and really thoroughly loved the whole experience.

Great tour and lesson about this unique home turned museum. Our docent was great; a former teacher who knew how much information was necessary and when to stop and let us explore on our own in the home. I don't know much about Frank Lloyd Wright, but it was interesting to learn about how the house came about and the design. I would definitely recommend this to anyone. It doesn't say it on the website, but the tours start at the 15 of each hour and last about 45 minutes. You can stay and take pics in the garden and yard, too. This was a great find.

Very cool house. Takes about 30 minutes to complete the tour. The gift shop and ticket office for entry are across the street in the school. Happy to see Alabama invested in its restoration. Giving it four stars only because two doors were missing and there wasn't very many souvenirs in tv he gift shop.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of this amazing home. Every room was unique and had beautiful views of the outside. We can't wait to see more of these beautiful homes by Frank Loyd Wright.

This was almost a private tour for us. The Docent was informative and provided a great tour of this site and the house with both historical anecdotes and FLW stylistic notations. The location is easy to get to, has ample parking, the fee is reasonable, and the tour lasted 35-45 minutes and gave us a perfect break in our drive from Destin to Missouri. This is a don’t miss and pass this by museum that should be on your next trip near Florence, AL.

Adored this place! I'm a big fan of historical spots, art and restoration. This place has it all. It was beautiful to explore, the tour guide was amazing, the gift shop was also amazing. I'm a big fan of spending money someplace like this for education and art.

Our guide was very knowledgeable about the house. I was amazed at the size of the rooms and the very small doors. The garden was beautiful.

Interesting history. I think it's awesome for people to memorialize these dogs that had so much impact on their lives. This place embodies the love, impact, and pride for these dogs. There is a guestbook to sign, benches around the cemetery to sit, and a covered seating area. Be aware that there is very little to no cell coverage in this area.

What a unique destination to one of the most somber properties.

I shed tears within moments of walking through the memorials to these beloved pets. Dug through my car for all change I had to continue the tradition of leaving tokens of respect via coins, and even the 901 painted rock I kept in my car. A loving a moving place full of warm and tender vibes, very fitting for a place devoted to the loyal friendship between dogs and mankind.

What a great tribute to some of man's best friends. Set way out in the hills this quiet memorial to full purebred coon dogs displays the love the owners had for their friends. This roadside attraction has an outbuilding on a concrete base as well as benches to sit on to take in the peacefulness. Each grave has a marker and some colorful plastic flowers that spread out over the grounds making it a beautiful sight. There is a guestbook to sign and most days it seems that a few visits are made.

Anyone with a love for dogs will find this place interesting. But don't expect you can bury "FiFi" the poodle here. This is hollowed ground for Coon Dogs only. I love bringing out-of-state visitors here. They never fail to really enjoy the trip to this special spot and are impressed with the creativity and beauty of the various head stones. And it doesn't cost a dime! There is no staff or host here. It is very isolated. No facilities except an old time "out house" which may or may not have paper but will certainly have a stink.

Pretty cool seeing the mounents to the men's hunting dog

Interesting Place. The day we visited a family was having a picnic here. That's real love for a coon dog. They said that several of their champion dogs were buried there. One of the kids pointed out their grave sites. We spent maybe 20min taking pictures and admiring peoples love for their dogs.

Beautiful grounds, very wooded. Film was excellent. Visitor Center small but good.

Very cool national park. Not a lot to see and do here beyond the museum, but the museum is very educational. There is a short walk around the battle grounds but be forewarned it is very hilly and insects are in abundance, so come prepared with Skin So Soft or Off Bug Spray. Doesn't take too long to walk through and tour, so you'll have plenty of time to cross the border into Tennessee to see the sister park and travel to Brices Crossroad Nation Military Park, Natchez Trace Parkway Visitor Center, and stop in at the Elvis Presley Birth Place Museum all in one day.

Absolutely wonderful! Enjoyed every minute of it. Park planned out good. Easy to drive to the stops. Highly recommend.

I had the best time this morning at the Shiloh National Military Park in Corinth! I met a Mr. Stewart Andrew’s who went out of his way to show me some amazing information about my relative who fought here during the war. He showed me where I could go to see where he might have actually fought, though most of the battlefield is no longer available do to the town’s development after the war. 5 stars, would highly recommend!

Great piece of history. It's literally an art piece combining sculpture and history. Fantastic.

Great place to see. From the first steps into the building, there is something to see and learn about.

Extremely well done, artistically​ inspiring and informative. Very cool architecture - building looks as if under siege. Reflecting pond in garden area unique and moving. Film was pretty good with mix of personal and political - and good attention paid to slavery and the contraband camp (ZERO mention in Shiloh film). Exhibits were well done but nothing spectacular. Overall a great museum that needs to be advertised more!!!

I love go shopping here. It has a good diverse selection of brands that I like. They well organized and clean. In holiday, they usually host many fabulous events that bring joy to the whole family.

I know it's near closing time at 9pm. I work night shift and just woke up and needed a few things and didn't want to mess up my schedule by waking up at 11 to come tomorrow. I knew what I wanted and went directly to Under Armour and Levi. The UA was awesome and helped me right away and I was in and out not mention of closing soon. Went to Levi's and told when I entered at 8:45 I was just doing a quick look to see if it was written worth getting up early on night shift. The female employ made sure to mention no less than 6 times that they closed soon. I kept telling her I was just trying to see if it was worth it. Looked at clearance area to see just kind of stuff they had. I will never visit this store again and only buy online for Levi's if I ever buy again if this is what they employ. It ruined my trip to Tanger by making me leave upset. Again I told her a quick look and I wasn't going to buy tonight because I knew they closed at 9. Left with 12 minutes to close after no more than 3-5 minutes in the store. Employee needs retained on listening.

Deals, Deals, Deals !! If you're in the Memphis area, then you have to check out the Southaven Outlets. This is a Tanger Mall, and although there are lots of deals to be found, you can find additional deals and discounts with the app. After a weekend in Memphis, I went to Southaven to find great deals. I stocked up on Columbia, PUMA, Nike, and Under Armour and even with the USD to CAD exchange rates, I still saved quite a bit of money. There are many stores to choose from, as well as coffee and food options, so that you can recharge and get more shopping done.

Nice outlet mall with a variety of shops scattered within it. They have many clothing and shoe stores, jewelry stores and a few different eateries. They appear to be getting other stores ready to open in the near future. There is a playground for smaller children and many seating areas throughout a long with covered walkways. It would be nice if there were a bigger restaurant selection but perhaps that will come in the future.

Nice variety of shops, but what I really enjoyed was the Blues Trail. There's a lot of beautiful, musical history out there, and it was a pleasant surprise to learn about some of the pioneers.

An outlet mall near the Memphis area. I visited last Saturday in the afternoon. It was not packed. The parking was easy. They have a few good stores including MK, coach, Guess, HnM, Banana Republic, etc. I bought two blouses from Banana Republic and Express factory outlet. Everything was nice, and easy. They don’t have a lot of place to eat inside. There are many benches to sit and relax. It was fun and pretty good shopping experience. I can’t wait to go back.

Great outlet…it still seems a little bit expensive. Very clean & listening to Xmas songs while shopping was great 🧑‍🎄 Travellers from UK 🇬🇧 road-trip USA 🇺🇸

Visiting Graceland in Memphis was a day I will never forget! I’m so glad I planned ahead. I bought my tickets weeks in advance to secure an early morning entry, and it was absolutely worth it. Arriving before the big crowds made the tour feel extra peaceful and serene. It's easy to understand why Elvis cherished his time here so much. Even the horse on the property was the calmest I’ve ever seen, adding to the tranquil atmosphere. The mansion itself is incredible. Every room is unique, showcasing Elvis’s one of a kind style and personal design choices. It’s fascinating to see how much of the decor was customized to his vision. The Meditation Garden was especially moving..beautiful, quiet, and the resting place where Elvis and his family are buried together. Photos are allowed throughout most of the visit though video is not permitted. The upstairs remains closed for privacy. Beyond the mansion, the experience continues with Elvis's plane, auto exhibition, multiple restaurants, museums, and shops filled with an incredible variety of Elvis memorabilia. The merchandising is top notch, there truly is something for every fan! I especially loved the Christmas ornaments! Graceland isn’t just a tourist attraction it’s an enduring tribute. The King’s presence is everywhere, and his legend truly lives on!!

For any die hard Elvis fan this is a must. Absolutely everything to do with Elvis Presley you can see it here. The exhibits are brilliant and well put together. There is a lot of walking but worth it. Did realise how many stage costumes he owned. Exciting to be able to basically be able to walk in his shoes visiting the house he lived and climbing on board his own private jet.

⭐️ Graceland – The Home of Elvis Presley 👑🎸 I booked my tour in advance — they have shuttles taking guests from the visitor center to the mansion. Just a short 3-minute ride and you’re there — and wow, the moment you arrive you feel the history! The house is amazing — from the elegant living room to the famous Jungle Room 🌴, the kitchen, and even the basement gym. Everything looks just like Elvis left it — a real time capsule of the King’s life. Outside you’ll find the beautiful Meditation Garden 🕊️ with Elvis’s grave and his family’s resting place — peaceful and emotional. After the mansion tour, the shuttle takes you back to explore the car museum 🚗 — including the legendary pink Cadillac, his Mercedes, motorcycles, gold records, and so much more! 🎶 Every corner tells a story — Graceland is not just a museum, it’s pure American music history. 📍 A must-visit in Memphis — worth every minute! 💡 Tip: Book early and go in the morning — less crowded and perfect lighting for photos! 📸✨

Visited for Mother’s Day Weekend 2023 I went to Graceland with my mother-in-law for Mother’s Day Weekend 2023, and the experience was absolutely worth it. This is one of those places you don’t truly understand until you’re standing in it. The home, the memorabilia, the décor, and the history all feel frozen in time, and you can see exactly how Elvis lived — not just the celebrity side, but the personal side. We toured the inside of the mansion, and every room is something different to look at. The Jungle Room, the living room, the trophy room, and the hall of gold records were unbelievable. You really feel the amount of work he put into his music and his life. The gardens were peaceful and well-kept, and visiting the meditation garden and gravesites was emotional and respectful. It’s quiet, beautiful, and a place you naturally slow down and take in. The staff kept things moving, and the grounds were clean and organized even though there were plenty of visitors. There’s a lot to see, so take your time — we took tons of photos because there’s no way to describe everything without them. If you're a lifelong Elvis fan or even just someone who appreciates American music history, Graceland is one of those bucket-list places you should see at least once. It was a memorable experience for both of us, and I’m glad we did it together for Mother’s Day. Highly recommend.

It's pricier than your average museum but worth it! Elvis was before my time but my father loved his music and played it when I was little. Elvis liked white leather and gold, he had great taste. Look to spend about 2 to 3 hours here. Parking was $10 and base admission for adults is $85.50.

Fantastic venue, there is just so much to see and do. I would recommend the "ultimate VIP tour" you get over a 2. 5 hour tour, our tour guide was Alexis she was absolutely awesome, her Elvis knowledge was beyond great. You get your guided tour followed by a nice lunch, then you have as long as you like to look around at all the exhibits, our tour started at 10:15 & we finally left at 17 30. The only reason we left then was because we couldn't walk any more and we had run out of energy, I would have loved to have stayed longer. If you come to Memphis, Gracelands is a must visit.

Was not disappointed when we visited here. It is great to see around the house and the surronding area and museums. Photos that are taken of you by staff are on the pricey side. If cheaper I am sure they would sell more (we did buy some as you are superimposed in front of the music gates to graceland). Inside the house is really interesting and well worth looking round. Outside is the horses area and where Elvis's family are buried. We also ate here but, the organisation on serving the food was terribly slow and not joined up.

Wow! The selection of animals was outstanding. We were passing by on a cross country road trip and needed to stretch our legs. The layout is amazing, so much walking, we did 7500 steps in two hours before they closed! I brought my three kids teen to toddler, everyone had a great time. Bring a stroller for under five yr old, super stroller friendly. We came on the off season on a Wednesday so the food places weren't open, got drinks from the various vending machines. A few enclosures didn't have occupants, but honestly not a big deal because there are sooooo many animals here, still. Missed the pandas but knew they weren't going to be here and it's not the fault of the zoo. The animal experts were so kind and knowledgeable and treated the animals with care. The animals looked well cared for and enclosures were large and clean.

Loved this zoo. Had low expectations coming from Dallas zoos and aquariums. But our family loved this just as much. They have small aquarium that could use some TLC. But everything else was great, there is a lot of walking but most of the large animals are out and about and easy to spot. The Herptarium area had plenty of reptile and amphibians.

We go to zoos in every city we visit and this one is delightful. I discovered they're starting a 20-year (!) improvement plan, which will ameliorate the last few old-fashioned animal enclosures, which will take the zoo to the next level. The place is spotless, the animals are well cared-for, and the workers are knowledgeable and friendly. I absolutely do not begrudge the rather high entry expense, as it helps finance the necessary upgrades, which in turn aids in conservation efforts. The site is well-organized and easy to navigate. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit here - if you have kids (or even if you don't!) this is a great place to take a break from other frenetic tourist activities.

Rated #2 in the nation for a reason! Memphis Zoo never disappoints. Membership is a great value and you can tell the zoo really cares for the animals. Exhibits are updated regularly, animals get tons of enrichments & overall seem very happy!

I've loved the Memphis Zoo ever since I was a kid. This zoo has so many different kinds of animals. Lots of the walking is shaded or inside and there are mist fans. Kids can play either in the small fountain or in the new splash pad. There are also zip lines and other new features. Memberships for a family are almost cheaper than just going once, great deal. A great place to visit!

By far the best zoo my wife and i have ever been too. Very clean, super nice workers, they was working on part of it so we didn't see everything. You will get steps in. It was hot but there's plenty of shade and drink stations. The animals looked well fed and very happy.

The hotel had an old English flare about it with southern hospitality. Every staff member I encountered was friendly and hospitable. The food was delicious. It is apparent that they made upgrades to the room, but mine still had some mysterious water damage near the front door; I informed the manager, and I heard her addressing it right away. The duck theme is adorable. The hotel food was good.

We loved the Duck Parade and Keenan was a wonderful Duckmaster. Be sure to get there early to get a seat in the lobby. Or if you want, you can sit along the red carpet to watch the ducks parade in. It’s definitely worth it. Just a cute way to start or end your day. Also take a trip up to the rooftop to see the Duck Palace and a great view of the city. The lobby is beautiful and the service was great. They also have a wonderful mural for a photo opportunity!

Oh wow! Just perfect... aside from our very first moments of arrival and first impression! We were tired from long drive and yet excited to arrive... front desk staff was just unwelcoming. being stand offish and seemingly bothered or cranky. The bell hop nearly ran us over at the very entry with cart with no apologies - was very disappointing NOT Peabody quality. However, moving on with much faith... Our reservation had been surprisingly Upgraded to the 12th floor which was a wonderful surprise as it came with happy hour drinks dining and candy bar!!😍Such a beautiful and amazing place! Janice was our reservation specialist and she was GREAT! She was friendly, helpful and accommodating! The rooftop and duck palace is a must see and of course the duck shows are adorable! Lots to see, eat and drink as well as alot of shopping! Beale street was amazing as well! BB KINGS took the win! Met a ton of great people from all over the world....Thank you all for the experience!!

My stay at The Peabody Hotel in Memphis was so enjoyable that I felt it deserved a full review. From the moment I walked into the lobby, the atmosphere felt grand, elegant, and truly one-of-a-kind. The staff was welcoming, professional, and genuinely attentive, making the entire experience feel warm and effortless. Every interaction—from check-in to dining—was handled with care and friendly Southern hospitality. One of the absolute highlights for me was the famous Peabody Duck Parade. Watching the ducks march to the fountain is pure joy and something you simply cannot experience anywhere else. It’s charming, unique, and adds a level of delight that makes the Peabody feel special in a way that goes beyond just being a hotel. The crowd’s excitement, the music, and the history behind the tradition all come together to create a moment you’ll never forget. My room was beautiful, clean, and comfortable, with thoughtful touches that made it easy to relax. The hotel itself is stunning, with rich details, historic charm, and a timeless elegance that you notice everywhere you turn. If you’re visiting Memphis and want a memorable, top-tier experience—complete with the unforgettable duck parade—the Peabody is truly the perfect place to stay.

Oh, my sainted aunt, where to start? Seeing the Peabody ducks has been on my bucket list forever (since the 80s) and I finally got to see them! (Three times during our four-day visit.) My inner child is sqeeing with happiness. The Duckmaster, Keenan Walker, is simply the loveliest man, and we're now BFFs. 🤣 Our room was well-appointed and scrupulously clean. Breakfast and happy hour in the lounge was delicious - not a huge selection, but I don't like having too many choices. Everything was fresh every day, and there's an omelette station at breakfast. Every single employee I encountered here was welcoming and friendly. This has been simply one of the nicest vacations in my 60+ years on the planet, and I hope to return before too long.

Absolutely incredible experience. The building is absolutely stunning, the ducks are adorable and the staff is phenomenal. The lobby is beautiful with ample seating if various comfort levels, the mezzanine level is full of incredible historical pieces and I highly recommend checking out the memorabilia room on the mezzanine level.

It's been a long time that I’ve stayed at a hotel and not encountered some kind of problem- The Peabody exceeded my expectations! Everything was great! Customer service was top tier! I really wish I could remember everyone's names I encountered when checking in, order room service, asking questions, and checking out because they all were incredibly nice & professional. China, Jack, Keila, Rita, and a lady who's name started with a Z are just a few that I could remember but they all were phenomenal! I'd definitely return to the Peabody whenever I am in Memphis! The entire staff deserves recognition & raises! Thank you all!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis is one of the most powerful and moving places I have ever visited. It’s hard to fully understand the depth of certain tragedies unless you lived through them or felt their lasting impact in your daily life. I lived through the tragic murder of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and the ripple effects of that loss remain with me to this day. Walking through this museum, I was reminded of that painful moment in history while also inspired by the strength and courage of those who fought for justice. The exhibits are laid out with great care and detail, telling the story of the Civil Rights Movement from slavery through the 1960s and beyond. Standing at the Lorraine Motel, looking at the balcony where Dr. King took his final steps, was overwhelming. It is both heartbreaking and humbling. The museum does more than present history—it makes you feel it. The powerful visuals, personal stories, and authentic atmosphere ensure that every visitor leaves with a deeper understanding of the fight for equality. This museum is a must-visit for all generations, a place of learning, reflection, and hope for the future.

I am very thankful to have been able to visit here with my family! The amount of underlining love that seemed to surround this area as well as a bit of sadness in the air being so close to where Dr. King's life was ended from such a cowardly act of hate is so surreal. The museum was very informative and reflected our history well.

Wow. Beautifully constructed, my only complaint was WOW that was a lot to read. (As a reader, that is a good thing!) But I didn’t have nearly enough time. If you wanted to truly learn and read everything in there, it would take you 5hrs to get through. So plan accordingly. There is a large free parking lot half a block from the museum, so that was lovely. Staff was INCREDIBLE! So friendly, polite, and answered any questions I had.

This is an absolute **must-do in Memphis**. Visiting the National Civil Rights Museum was a powerful and emotional experience. It’s incredibly educational and eye-opening — walking through the exhibits truly makes you reflect on the strength, courage, and sacrifices of those who fought for equality. You can feel the history in every part of the museum, and it’s both heartbreaking and inspiring at the same time. I left with a deeper sense of gratitude and respect for the movement and for those who paved the way. Everyone should visit this museum at least once in their lifetime.

The National Civil Rights Museum is very well organized. I liked that it started with information about life in Africa pre-enslavement and that there was an introductory video prior to visitors entering the full exhibit. There was plenty of information on display from various time periods including the Jim Crow era, the bus boycott, sit ins, integration of schools, the Black Power movement, etc.

Excellent place to visit to see the world at that time in the country fighting for civil rights. History that needs to be taught in school to understand what it was like as people of color fought and died for to have basic human rights. Very informative highly recommended if you are in the Memphis area.

The place is very well maintained and clean. But museum is horrible, there is too much text with random information and people with no lead, it is impossible to follow and learn anything, apart from random facts maybe.

It was okay, nothing exciting, but was also there on a Thursday night so I'm sure that makes a difference. I do recommend going and experiencing it though! Plenty of places to pop in have a drink or something to eat as well.

Such a cool spot. It’s really poppin on weekends. And they have full security which is nice.

Absolutely brilliant little street with cool shops & bars with loud music. Travellers from UK 🇬🇧 road trip USA 🇺🇸

Great spot to visit during the day, get out at night to avoid the wild party crowds!

Ok for a Tuesday night. Places to see some history but mostly just shopping and bars.

When the music is NOT playing the streets are pretty empty. Go late and plan to wander the main drag. As with any city full of tourists, just be aware of your surroundings.

After our Graceland tour we decided to hit Beale Street. Highlight was stopping into BB King’s Blues Bar and listening to live music. The food was good and the ribs were the best I’d had.

Campground closed for renovations. New bathhouse. New cement pads for the picnic tables at the camp sites. Plenty of picnic tables for a picnic. Water pump for cleaning up. Separate bins for trash and recyclables. Trash was overflowing. (3) separate unisex bathrooms. One with an adult changing table. Small fishing boats out on the lake. Pioneer Springs Trail was blocked by a tree after you start on the trail. May have been from the storm earlier in the week. Group campsite available for reservations.

Such a serene state park. We came in early Nov and the fall foliage was pretty. Trails in different lengths depending on what you prefer. Kayak rentals are possible and they also have ranger-led paddles and tours which sounds amazing for next time. It was a beautiful spot for a Sunday walk. Will definitely return.

Visited the park today — it was extremely hot and humid today. We were hiking the 1-mile Woodland Trail loop when we came across a snake resting on a fallen tree right across the path. It wasn't aggressive, but it’s something to be cautious about. Overall, it's a peaceful trail, but the weather and wildlife made it a bit intense today. Also way too many insects and mosquitoes.

This was a beautiful park . The trails was amazing we put some miles . I would love to camp here . Well worth the trip out . Beautiful fall colors and a new state for us . But the gift shop did not have nothin . That was a bumper . We are trinket people hiking stick medillon would be nice at least . Lol

Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park is a gorgeous location nestled in the outskirts of Millington, TN- not far from Memphis. The park holds campgrounds, hiking trails, play areas for children, and lots of space for picnics or gatherings. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife around the park... A true hidden gem!

Hello to all the nature lovers! This is a must see spot here. If you’re looking for a place to breathe, this is for you.. It’s our first time here and will definitely come back here!

We've been camping there for 5 nights. The place itself is beautiful. You camp in the middle of nature. The Rangers are very friendly. There is a nice hiking trail with different challenging loops accessible from it. The only downside I experienced was the restroom. Outdated, falling apart and in dire need of Restauration.

Only 3 stars because all the have left are a few rooms and small gift shop. The staff was wonderful and so welcoming. Hotel was clean. Definitely enjoyed staying there. My room was more than I expected. It could use updating but since it was bought out by Cesar's I guess we will see. Half hotel is shut down no casino or food. But the rest was great. I would stay again if open when I return. Food and casino is quick walk across parking lot along with plenty of food options.

Stayed on 2/13. Check in staff was quite rude and not helpful. The Valet was friendly and very helpful. The Casino is closed and all the amenities are next door at the Horseshoe. The room was very nice, comfortable bed and very clean. The hallway smelled like it had just been cleaned and was perfumed enough to be offensive. They still charge the resort fee but we were not informed about it at check-in even though they have no amenities except next door. Overall, Tunica is a hole and the roadhouse was greatly disappointing. I should have stayed at the Horseshoe or skipped Tunica all together. I saw absolutely no reason to go back.

Loved, loved, loved, loved, loved this place. The decor was awesome and when they say free drinks they mean it! There is a button to push on the gambling machines that will bring up a menu of drinks for you to choose from and just a couple minutes later someone will appear with a drink in hand delivered right to you! It was awesome! Had a blast here. Was staying at a different casino but ended up walking to this one every night.

We've stayed with this group the last 4 years and they never disappoint. The staff is extremely pleasant. The hotel is older but not run down. Everyone is eager to please and made us feel important. High five to Larry the Valet, he always greets us like he has known us forever and so eager to please. Casino even let's you win! Although I seem to donate it all back before we left. Great experience! Would highly recommend this establishment!

The rooms are outstanding and the service was just as great, we were greeted and offered help having our bags brought to our room, when we offered a tip the attendant was already gone! He was very polite and quick. The gift shop is well stocked with a variety of essentials and souvenirs, parking is easily located and the wait staff were very prompt and helpful!

I’m hoping the Horseshoe will do what they gotta do to stay open…the rooms are very outdated and really need a DEEP cleaning…we were on the 3rd floor..which is dark and dreary. The staff are always nice and helpful. We were carded (show license) or you cant go into the casino…we (3 adults in our 60’s) So we really didn’t understand the reasoning for this new protocol. We are just hopeful they are renovating and gonna keep the casino up to date on new machines and more great shows…

I’ll start with what was good. It was a comfortable bed. That’s the positive. Now for the negative . The hotel is like an old dog waiting to die. Upon check in, we asked for a room close to the elevator since I had recently hurt my knee. We were given a room on the second floor as far away from the elevator as possible. When my husband went back to the front desk the employee knew we would be back. We had to upgrade to get a closer room. Keep in mind there were NO people in the hotel. We had dinner at the Asian restaurant only to find out our club credits are not accepted there. No signage to make customers aware and the restaurant is on the club app. The food was ok but we were the only ones there and the waitress stood over us the entire time making it uncomfortable. The gaming floor has empty spots and yellow tape. Nothing near the number of slots it used to have. We woke up this morning to drilling and hammering before 8 am. We were supposed to gamble today with 5X tier credits and stay tonight. But It just wasn’t worth it. So we left a day early. This used to be our favorite location. It’s a true disappointment. Find some place else to play !

This review is specific to the hotel, the casino is a casino. The room was clean but no coffee pot, since there's a Starbucks in the lobby, I guess, except the Starbucks was not open anytime after 2pm. The snack bar didn't have any coffee either. Since I like coffee after dinner and before bed, I'd have to get a coffee from the bartender and take it to the room. I gave service one star since I never got any -- a three-day stay and I never saw housekeeping. A room for two had two towels that were never changed. I guess you are supposed to ask to have your bed made and your towels changed; for the price they should do that. I guess that's another reason there is no Keurig in the room; you'd need housekeeping to replenish the coffee. One other pet peeve is there was no toilet pqper holder; the paper was sitting on a shelf. Not a fan of that setup. Location was ideal since it's at the casino where I was playing in a poker tourney.

Ouch. Brought cash out tickets back, out of the way. But why not? They had zero rooms because their system was down. Drove down the way to gold strike. Lovely people with an inexpensive room. Walked back to the horsescrew and they said my cashout tickets expired on October 1. FYI they were 2 months old. Question: why does my cash expire? The photo below is the Gold Strike room. Great room and great people. Horsescrew, not so much.

I fell at this casino due to a bulk in their floor!!! They are simply acting like they don’t care at all!!!! And the employees that I’ve dealt with in regards to the situation have been careless thus far!! I’m angry, this was my favorite casino but not anymore!!! The guest and their comfort happiness and safety should be your number 1 goal bc they are the people that keep you guys in business!!! And it’s shows here on the reviews how little they care!!! The owner is replying to all positive reviews but has nothing to say for themselves in the negative reviews!!!

It's gone down hill in the last few years. Food is good but the comped rooms are way down the hall and are not in the best shape. They tried to charge us $100 to upgrade to a deluxe room.

I am very disappointed and unsatisfied with this room. We drove from Houston to Shreveport to Robinson We were late arrival at 8:30. The 2 queen bed room we thought was reserved wasn't available. Ok..Busy night at casino... We were dead tired.. The staff at was not friendly but professional. The walked to the room is at least 2 city blocks from elevators .The room is dated but clean. Closet door won't close..safe door falls off. But out of our years of travel I have never seen such a small room. Motel rooms are larger. We started to ask to be moved but had already unpacked and just to exhausted to repack. We rested and went to casino. (Lively) The walked back to room was exhausting. We are both in our 70's. Horseshoe has spoiled our trip. Won't be getting out room much because we will hate the return. NEVER AGAIN

2 of the 4 elevators didn't work. The escalator in the casino didn't work. The soap dispensers in the bathrooms didn't work. The roulette screens didnt work. The shower head in our room didn't work correctly and the shower pressure was horrible. We had stained towels. The toilet was dirty. Every time we got off the elevator it was strong weed smell. After we booked our room at the front desk, we didn't realize we could go online and get the room for $10 cheaper with a food credit. I wont say we wont ever stay there again but it won't be our first choice. The only positive thing was the actual beds. They were soft, clean, and comfortable.

love the exclusivity but the room was definitely dated and had not been dusted in awhile. the sink and tub were very dated as well. service was beyond fantastic and the beds were INCREDIBLE. so comfortable. soft sheets. perfect pillows. literally no complaints. we stayed on floor 27 and it was a beautiful view.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five Stars for Terrence at the Gold Strike Buffet – Mississippi If the Gold Strike Buffet had a Hall of Fame, Terrence would have his own wing. From the moment we walked in, he made us feel like family — warm smile, genuine kindness, and an energy that could light up Tunica. Terrence didn’t just do his job; he elevated the entire dining experience. Plates cleared before we even had to ask, drink refills magically appeared, and he somehow remembered everyone’s preferences like he’d known us for years. It’s rare to meet someone who truly cares about their guests, but Terrence does — effortlessly. He takes pride in his work, and it shows in every small detail. The buffet was great, but Terrence? He’s the reason we’ll be coming back. Gold Strike, hold on tight to this guy — he’s a real gem.

Stayed here Thursday night, was only planning on staying one night, we got up Friday, it was storming, we had traveled in on a motorcycle... we left and rode about 10 minutes and decided to turn around and come back. We decided to stay another night. I called the reservation line and we got a room. A casino host gave us each a comp dinner buffet and a comp brunch buffet. Both very excellent. Heated spa tub was nice so was the pool to cool off in. I also got picked to play the football frenzy game to win free play on Friday night, and I won $550 in free play. All of the employees we interacted with were very nice and welcoming. Only bad things I can say are, the safe did not work, there was an error code when I tried to use it. The collective kitchens breakfast plate with eggs, potatoes and a biscuit was terrible. Eggs were watery and nasty, biscuit was hard. Potatoes weren't terrible but not great. And for brunch this morning, the hostess who sat us and our server both acted like they didnt want to be there. Neither were very friendly at all. Everything else was great. You can tell the staff do a great job keeping the property clean and updated despite that its an older property. If you have ever been to Tunica, most of the other casinos there are run down. We will definitely come back again. Thank you Gold Strike employees for making our stay great!

When this was an MGM property it was great. This place is terrible now. Slots are terrible tables are terrible just terrible. Lost $1500 in less than 30 minutes betting $10/spin. No bonuses or anything. Took out another $500 same thing. I’ve been here 5/6 times since they’ve rebranded. Haven’t gotten up once

Unfortunately the customer service here was less than what one should expect from such a large and expensive hotel. The restaurant staff were rude, seemingly uninterested in customer service. The Casinonis nice but would likely not stay here again.

Hands down the best Casino in Tunica. The cleanliness and service is great. Anytime I pass through Mississippi, it's a must stop for me. Hopefully next time I could win something because I haven't had any luck there but I enjoy the atmosphere every time I stop by.

This park’s walking trail is designed surrounding the reservoir. Good place for everybody specially for families with kids. Swimming is not allowed but kayaking and boats are allowed.

The parks were clean, and there's TONS to do. Loads of different parks for kids to play on. If you want to walk a trail, there's miles of it and every inch is brightly lit by motion activated light poles, and the layout actually makes sense. It's easy to get in and out. If you want to skate or bike, there are course's to run. There's a splash pad if it's hot, and places to fish too. Plenty of fun for everyone, and it's all completely free.

Great place for gateway to nature in Jonesboro. Scenic and marked walking trail and ample of seating space. Free parking in different Access Zones to the lake.

This was a very clean park. My oldest boy and I stopped in on a recent trip to stretch our legs. Great walking trails, bike trails, fishing. We found 3 playgrounds, all very nicely maintained. We will be back when we are in the area!

Drove my cruiser today and went walking. Found a couple of quartz rocks there and even though it's the hotter part of summer, the shade cools you off and it's just a clean, calm, beautiful natured environment filled with everything that makes the natural state beautiful. Thanks for riding with me Jess, my true bff!

Beautiful park that circles a beautiful lake.. About 15+ miles of fun and flowy MTB / hiking trails with lots of fun features throughout for different skill levels. Lake isn’t huge, but is a nice spot for fishing, boating, Kayaking, or all of the above. They have kayak rental kiosk. Nice playgrounds and water park for the kiddos. Plenty of places around the lake for a picnic or fishing. Just a great place to visit, or camp for a few days. Come here any time I visit Jonesboro.

After being newbies to Van Life and traveling for a couple weeks we landed here later in the evening during a big storm…I had called ahead and Host Melissa found us as we came in and escorted us to a spot. From start to finish this was a great place to camp. Great Hosts. Clean Showers and Laundry. We had a nice site with water views. Plus great walking trails around the lake. This campground was a breath of fresh air and gave us much needed time to relax and regroup. Would recommend and go back for sure. 5/5 5 Stars 5 Thumbs up!!!

Let me tell you about this place. I'm not from this area at all, we are on vacation in Van Buren. But the river is still flooded so we aren't able to make our float trip yet. So I ended up coming across this place. And it is soooooo cool! I would recommend to visit this spot 10/10! BUT PLEASE keep it clean and pack out your trash! The views from top of the rock are really nice. It's peaceful there. It can be crowed at times. But we had the place to our self's the last hour before dark! Jumping off the rocks into the water was also a blast!

I was in the nearby area and wanted to take a look at this remarkable place. Obviously very busy in the summer but if you plan one could enjoy this spot without the weekend crowd. I will come back on a week day.

Great scenic swimming spot. The falls aren't huge, but they are still substantial and very scenic. The pool at the base of the falls is wading depth deepening to swimming depth as you go to the center, with good gravel/sand banks for chairs and gear. It was busy when we arrived (weekday afternoon), with the crowd decreasing by late afternoon. I expect on weekends, it is very busy, so if you aren't into the beach crowd feeling, consider a weekday if possible. I'm generally not a fan of crowds, but it was scenic and unique enough to be more than worth it.

Such an amazing spot to adventure and swim! So many people came to enjoy this spot, it was a little crowded after awhile, but still so enjoyable. Crisp cold water with the sounds of the waterfall. Felt like a little oasis. The ultimate watering hole. NN was relatively short and not terribly rough gravel road leading to the parking spots. Very nice picnicking area as well.

Me And My Wife Climb a mountain with a dog and we was working together holding a dog while we up there It's a Free place with cool water and a waterfall

Not terribly crowded, had a nice hike, and dipped our toes in the water. Parking lot was full, but parked on the side of the road. Family friendly.

Went on a guided hike with my 3 kids. Will, the ranger was very informative. We had 27 ppl in our group and had a blast. Saw feral/wild horses, crossed creeks and climbed rocks!!! Would definitely recommend. Great family fun ❤️
