Natchez Trace Parkway
Camping

There are more than a dozen campgrounds along the Natchez Trace Parkway corridor, three in the park, and many others just outside the park.  The three Parkway campgrounds are free, primitive, and available on a first come, first serve basis.  They do not offer electricity, showers, or dump stations.  They are spread out along the Parkway: Rocky Springs (Milepost 54), Jeff Busby (Milepost 193.1) and Meriwither Lewis (Milepost 385).  Many of the other campgrounds along the Parkway corridor offer electricity, showers, and dump stations.  Check the complete updated list of all the campgrounds along the Parkway for the locations and services offered by private and public campgrounds.
