There are some campgrounds that go on our list for second stops, if we’re passing that way. George P. Cossar State Park in northwest Mississippi has made that list.
It sits on Enid Lake about 70 miles south of Memphis, and this is our view from the back of our site.
We might not have enjoyed our stay as much in the site I originally booked. That driveway was narrow, bumpy and uneven.
In my defense, I chose the site when we were still using a satellite antenna and Dish TV. From the campground map I thought there might be a clearing to the southwest, and per my Winegard satellite antenna aiming app, it looks like we might have had a chance to get reception.
However, Starlink needs a view of the sky towards the north, and that wasn’t going to work.
We looked around, site 7 was open and looked promising. I made a phone call and we were able to transfer our registration.
So now we have a view of the lake…
and Starlink has a pretty clear view of the sky.
Not only is this a pretty park with full hookups, it has two disc golf courses.
Basket 12 and the tee for 13 are just steps from our site.
We’ve already played 23 holes. We started at 13 and played through 18 early this morning with Matey along. But he wasn’t doing well, so I walked him a bit on the leash and took him back to the camper. Then Bud and I played another round, but this time I forgot my phone, which has a map of the course, and we missed basket 3 entirely. Hence 23 holes.
Along the way we spotted this tree and I had to get a picture. This looks like lightning damage, and I wonder if this was originally two trees that fused and were then partially split. In any case, the crown of the tree (a pine) looked fine.
We have only one more day to enjoy this place, but we may well be back.
