The MidSouth RV Resort is part of the Harrah's Hotel and Casino complex (a 2000 acre tract - formerly known as The GRAND) that is located just to the North of Tunica, MS. There are 8 other casino hotels in the neighborhood with two additional RV parks located at Hollywood and Sam's Town. Upon our arrival here a week ago, this 200 site location was only about 25% occupied, but within two days there were no more than two or three unfilled sites at any given time as folks arrived in the park in advance of the arrival of Gustav, escaping mostly from Southern Louisiana. We also heard that the other two RV parks were filled as well. There were all sorts of RV's, from small campers to the largest of motor homes filling the sites, some with as many as 10 people staying in one unit. Fortunately, the weather was sufficently nice here during the height of the period that many folks could set up for eating, etc. outdoors. The staff and facilities provided here proved to be more than adequate with the exception of the laundry facilities...pretty tough to service 200 family units (probably 600 people or more) with only four washers and driers! Click here for some photos.
The remnants of Gustav, followed by other fronts crossing the area with high winds, rain and spotty thunder storms, have caused us to extend our stay here; however, we are hoping to be back on the road and heading South within a day or two [keeping an eye on the new approaching tropical events, particularly Ike].
