Visitor Comments, Memories and Reviews

July 15 Great Place

We live in Iuka and have a boat at the Park our Grandchildren love to go to the Park. Great staff! Country Squire in Iuka is a great place to eat!

June 25 Cabins by Joe

We recently stayed three nights at JP Colemans cabins and the cabins were in terrible condition. The entire facility was very dark, the shower door was broken and would not close, and the bathroom sink did not have a stopper in the drain. These cabins need a major renovation before my family stay there again.
