Our review on Campground Reviews (from our previous visit):
Nice place to return to after service
This is the place to stay when in Red Bay for service. It is a beautifully maintained park, with all the sites facing the fishing pond. All the other parks in town were basic gravel lots. The one drawback is having to back in to the site when coming back from service each day, but that’s not a big deal. The concrete pad was nicely level and all the utilities were good. It’s also nice to have the Yacht Club on-site for a bite to eat at the end of the day. If you’re looking to get service done on-site, make sure to check the list of approved vendors. We camped at Red Bay Acres RV Resort in a Motorhome.
Tip for Other Campers: Lost Pines Coffee had decent coffee and baked goods for a midday pick-me-up. The Natchez Trace Parkway is fairly close and a very nice scenic drive.

Our site this time; again one of the larger corner sites, though this was only barely larger:
I used my ladder to check on a leak behind our shower (a loose connection, easily fixed):
Stuff from basement bays piled up, while doing wet bay enhancements:
Clearing land behind the park was a little noisy:
