John W Kyle State Park - Park in Sardis - 4235 State Park Rd, USA

Wonderful and relaxing place. Clean swimming beaches. Perfect boating water. Lots of places to picnic and the campgrounds are a good size. There is a restaurant called rafters on the water. The lake is huge. There’s a few trails. 10/10 would recommend.

It is a beautiful park, we went for Memorial day weekend and it was full but everyone was quiet after 10pm. The large beach had a lot of people but didn't feel crowded. The restrooms and showers leave a bit to be desired but they are functional. We will definitely stay again.

This campground could be really beautiful, BUT it’s not being properly cared for... It appears as though it may have been hit by a tornado at some point. 1/2 the park is down for cleanup, & the other half is open, but there are still many downed trees that haven’t been removed. (Edit: A clean-up crew began removing some of the downed trees during our stay.) Trash & ants are a BIG problem! Our campsite, & the entire grounds were covered in litter (bandaids, gloves, wrappers, floss, cigarettes, beer cans, bottles, etc...) Trash is overflowing out of the dumpsters, & animals have rummage through it. Clearly, no one takes pride in what could be a beautiful park. Minimal grounds maintenance. Broken swings at playground. Water spigots are at least 75 ft away from some of actual campsites. Our site was definitely NOT a lake campsite as advertised. The one park ranger all but refused to help us with anything. He told me to call to check-in, but no one ever answered the phone. No assistance whatsoever. Very little monitoring by the park ranger as well. They don’t seem to care or take any pride in their state park, & it’s a shame! It’s on Lake Sardis with many beautiful mature trees, so it could be awesome! Upside: sites are level slabs, many “full-hookup,” supply picnic tables & grills, playground, & small beach access. I’d check out Oak Grove Campground next door... They are taking much better care of their park, & it’s on Sardis Lake as well, with a lot more lake front property.

35 minutes from Memphis. Well kept camping ground on one side and on the other side recently renovated park area with a view of the lake and valley at every angle. Boat rentals the works. It's beautiful.

It's a shame that it's so run down. Such a pretty area that needs a lot of maintenance and construction. The restrooms were all closed but one and the showers were closed in the one that was open.

Corps of Engineers... PLEASE go and look at the playground equipment) WIRE is sticking out of the tire swing... the grass needs to be cut,sticks, branches are everywhere..... I may be just another person with a complaint but I remember this place from my childhood and it was never this bad. People come from far and wide to unwind and enjoy their visit, let's set a better example. Suggestion maybe the sheriff department will let those on good behavior give you all a hand if you are short staffed.

Spent the night here hoping to relax after a long day on the road. Had reserved a pull through to be disappointed upon arrival...more work. The bathrooms are moldy, musty and just nasty. No other campers , out of 200 sites however there us trash throughout.

If coming here be ,sure to bring weed eatér and blower. No time is spent on upkeep. This campground would be filled to capacity with some TLC.
