We are trying to plan our camping trip for next year and we were wondering if anyone can tell me anything about the camping and riding at Natchez Trace State Park? I have been through the campground on my way home from my parents...but have never stayed there. Would this be a good choice of an out of state trip for us??

There is one area that has been logged and left in terrible shape. But there is still lots of riding if you know where to ride. The trails are not marked very well. I would recommend you stay on the trails as there are some areas that can be quite boggy (especially this time of year)
Each campsite has water and electricity - some are a tight squeeze for a large rig. The bath house has showers and is kept nice and warm in the cold months. There is a covered pavilion with a large fireplace (you must supply the firewood).

NT has been written about alot on here....suggest you do a search here....think there are some photos too. There are photos on our website cloudfarms.com
The trails are in the process of being marked with flags; we were there about 3 weeks ago and were happy to see the new markers.....

There about 200 miles of trail. The campground is nice and people from over use it as a stopping point when travelling. This fall the campground was filled to capacity some weekends.

We love going to natchez state park, there is lots of nice trails that are mostly sandy, rarely see rocks. that affects us because we have barefoot horses. hope you have fun!

I much preferred Natchez Trace to LBL. LBL is like a small city - lots of noise and activity in a huge campground. I thought the riding was way better at NT. Unless you like wide trails, which LBL has a lot of. We prefer the wooded trails.

We were at NT state park - Bucksnort Wranglers Camp.
Spent Thanksgiving weekend there two years ago. Thought the trails were good but not too well marked.
