Very quiet and surrounded by woods. Hostess went beyond expectations. Bethany is exceptionally kind, informative and helpful. I would highly recommend this spot!

Weekend Trip to Creekside Container Cabin
We really enjoyed having access to the beautiful creek. Exploring upstream and downstream was one of the highlights of our trip. We took our chairs and our coffee each morning and sat on the sandbar while the sun rose. It was very peaceful. Cooking over an open fire each night was also extremely enjoyable.

Weekend Trip to Creekside Container Cabin
I was in town for a few days working in Natchez and decided to book this cabin for a nature getaway, since I’d previously stayed in hotels and wanted a different experience. The drive to and from Natchez was easy and manageable. I stayed two nights, and the cabin had everything I needed. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the AC was ice-cold—perfect after a hot day outside.
Zach went above and beyond by providing plenty of firewood and bottled water, which made the stay super convenient. I didn’t need to leave the cabin for anything. The location is very secluded; I didn’t see another person the entire time, yet I still felt completely safe. Zach stayed in regular contact throughout my stay, which made me feel especially secure and cared for as a solo traveler.

Zach's land is very beautiful. I was able to camp for two nights. The campsite was secluded and shady. Hardly heard any noise from the road. I felt like I was the only human in existence there. The creek was very nice too. A bit too shallow for fishing but still a wonderful spot to wade around in.

We loved staying on Bethany’s land! The communication was amazing the whole day and we were greeted upon arrival and received help despite the very heavy rain. The connections were easy and comfortable and we were even invited to pick some blueberries from their bush! (and they were super delicious😋🫐)

Weekend Trip to Creekside Container Cabin
The container cabin was great! The walk to the creek is nice and there were so many birds in the area. Unfortunately, I picked a rainy weekend, so I didn't get to enjoy the outdoors as much as I wanted to, but one night was clear and perfect for stargazing. The immediate area around the cabin is clear of trees so there's lots of sky to see while still being surrounded by nature. The cabin has all you need and definitely enough space for a couple and one or two kids. The drive to Natchez isn't too long and it's beautiful, so that was a bonus. I guess the rain interrupting my plans means I'll just have to book another stay.

Nice private site next to the Sheriff's office. Never met to host but I had all I need on my camper. Very annoying/aggressive rooster on the property.

The location on US 61 was very nice, all level campsites plus packed down gravel access road. The front of the campground appeared to be an old roadside motel, but is actually apartments. The campsites were really good, had 50a, 30a, and 120 electrical, water hookup, and onsite sewage, all sites were mostly level (except for 19 & 20, I had to use shims on one side). Plus, A couple of very bright security lights illuminated the entire campground very well.
I never met the host. We communicated by text only, and only after I sent him an email informing him we arrived. Please note, there is NO internet or phone service!! There appears to be guest internet service, but it needed a password, which wasn’t provided to us. There is also a laundry room at the south end of the apartment building, and the host did provide the pass code for access.
Overall, we were pleased with the location, easy to find. The camp sites were well maintained and private. But, In my opinion, this location is not suited for a long term stay. Picnic tables were all located in the middle of a fire ant infested yard with barely any shade, & campsites are all lined up next to one another-especially if full capacity!

Weekend Trip to Creekside Container Cabin
Great scenic spot right on the creek. Cabin was great. Made a day trip to Natchez, which was only 40 miles. Great fire pit and outdoor furniture. Zach was a great host. This will be a great place to visit in the warmer months to swim in the creek. We will definitely be back!

Base Camp is top notch. Amazing tiny space with incredible attention to detail in the woods a stone’s throw from a picturesque sandy creek. I brought my 2 youngest boys for the weekend and we had the perfect mix of wilderness and comfort. Cooked all our meals in the fire pit and grill but had the luxury of showers and a big comfy bed and central heat to sleep. Zach was an incredibly responsive and helpful host. This was my first time using Hipcamp and it was a breeze.

Zach was super responsive and really pleasant to communicate with. The camp itself was also great. Looking forward to going again with my little ones.

Weekend Trip to Creekside Container Cabin
This spot was such a special treat. My husband and I had a wonderful weekend here. It was quiet, relaxing, full of modern amenities, and we had the best day enjoying the nearby creek. Zach left us firewood too, which was an unexpected and welcomed surprise. There’s lots of hiking throughout the Homochitto Forest to enjoy as well.
I can’t recommend this listing enough. A perfect stay.

Overview
About
Check out the history of Mississippi's first state capital thanks to two mansions and an old fort that delve into the rich culture of the area. Before the Civil War, more millionaires lived in Natchez than any other city in the United States. Two of these mansions form the backbone of this park.
William Johnson House is a brick structure that shows you what life was like for a free African-American living in the South. Johnson was a successful barber who ran three shops in Natchez. If you wanted a haircut in Natchez, Johnson was your man until he died in 1851. He was good at cutting hair, the best in town for his day. Visitors to his house can take a self-guided tour that includes shop on the ground floor and living quarters above it.
Standing in contrast to Johnson's modest brick home, Melrose Mansion exists as an opulent reminder of the power that Natchez once held in Southern life. Built in the 1840s by John McMurran, many original furnishings and decor are still intact.
The site of Fort Rosalie, constructed in 1716, no longer has any remnants for you to see. However, the area hosts an idyllic picnic spot where you can enjoy lunch. If you love this kind of architecture, many historic homes in Natchez proper are open to the public for tours.
Even though the weather in Natchez stays warm most of the year, try camping in the fall months. Not only is the weather drier, but the hills above the Mississippi River sing with color once the leaves change.
