Pull-Thru - RV Slot #1
Maybe the most unique site you’ll ever find. So much history wrapped up in the walls of this former cotton gin. Together with its close proximity to Clarksdale made it the perfect location during the annual Juke Joint Festival.

The Stovall Experience
This isn’t just farmland; it’s a living museum. Stovall is famously linked to blues artists.
Howard and Baylor are well-known in the overlanding and RV communities for their warmth. It’s that rare kind of "off-the-beaten-path" welcome that makes you feel like a local immediately.
The Stovall Store is often the heart of the community. Whether you're looking for cold drinks, local stories, or a bit of shade, it’s the essential stop on the property.

Very good concept and interesting place to camp, but the grounds were in disarray. Not sure if owner is aware of the condition of the grounds. There were broken electrical plugs laying on the ground as well as what appeared to be some type of flooring as well as trash littered the area. Lights that were seen in the pictures prior to reserving were simply hanging and appeared to be broken. It was not at all as appeared in the hip camp site, maybe years prior but area extremely neglected and almost appeared to be abandoned. If owner is not on site or the area, they really need to see what their guests are exposed to.

Location was cool and creepy at the same time! All amenities worked well and location was convenient to Clarksdale and about a mile to Muddy Waters home place.

Mary Fay's campground, while very bare bones, was perfectly located for our visit to Clarksdale, MS as part of the Blues Tour. Water and power worked perfectly and we really appreciated the wifi.

It is very original, true grit location, and if you are lucky enough to spend some time with the locals it is your lucky day!

A neat little place to stopover for the night with water and electric (only 50A inlets available but host does provide some adaptors inside the store room behind parking 2. Was beautifully quiet for a restful night's sleep

Fairly convenient to town. We visited Hopson Hospitality at Mary’s suggestion, and found Red Panther Brewing and Ground Zero on our own the next night. Having power connection at the site was awesome. A very nice place to settle in while visiting Clarksdale.

The set up was enjoyable and made for a good spot to stop at night. Mary was also excellent about communicating with me and helping me when I got lost.

We loved camping at this old cotton gin site. So much history, friendly people and an event at the Stovall Store while we were there too! A fun time! Definitely stay here while in Clarksdale.

This is such a great spot to urban camp. If you're into the blues, this is the place! Our class A fit right into the ruins of the old cotton gin. The whole place is a vibe. Muddy Waters lived here! What more do you want?! The weather was gorgeous. Howard gave us excellent recommendations. We wandered all around the area. Found the crossroads. (All three of 'em!) Ate too many hot tamales. We absolutely loved it here.
Thanks Howard, for sharing your little bit of history. (And for helping our part get to us!)

Had we stayed when something was going on and others were around it may have been better, but when we got there everything looked abandoned and no one was around. There's no trash dumpsters or bathrooms available, a porta-pottie or something on premise would be appreciated. Also, if you're here be aware of mosquitoes because they're out for blood.

Loved the nearby town of Clarksdale, exploring some history of the blues.
If electric and water is all you need, this spot should work for you. Stovall is mostly cotton fields! Clarksdale is 15 minutes by car.
If you love blues music and camping you should certainly visit.

A very cool setting with some interesting history. The old cotton gin and the surrounding grounds were nice. A bit of a busy road going by, but generally quiet. If timing had been better, we likely would have been very entertained with some fantastic blues.

The Stovall Gin is quiet, peaceful, and the birthplace of Muddy Waters!!! We enjoyed the hook ups, the solitude, and the funky vibe. A short drive to the Ground Zero Blues Club, the Delta Blues museum, and some helpful hints from our amicable host, Howard, made us feel at home in the "Birthplace of the Blues". We will be back.

Overall this site was ideal for me. Looking for unique, scenic and/or historical sites to tent camp in the 50 states. Found Stovall Gin campsites and stopped looking in MS (now #37) due to its Blues history and where it happened.
Conditions were Sunday, mid-March, lt breeze, H60, L38, mostly clear, only one camped. It had rained a few days earlier so ground was soft but not soaked. Able to push stakes in with foot and be secured. Tenting area in grove is flat and level. Clear of rocks, stones and eyes/feet didn’t even find any gnarly roots. Had to clear twigs and small branches only. I use a cot for car camping these days but ground camping should be fine.
Two things to consider 1) there’s a light across the road by the bins which shines on the grove. Got lucky and tree trunk cast shadow on head end of cot. No foliage on trees to block light so summer may be less. On the plus side after dark arrivals, moving around camp at night or those not wanting complete darkness will be aided. 2) there is some road noise but didn’t bother me too much, though it was a Sunday. If either of these are potential issues I’d suggest setting up at the back corner of the grove and let us know how it goes.
Made reservation same day and Howard called to provide arrival details. Best wishes on (re)establishing a live music destination, will keep an eye out for a return visit! And if you didn’t download Muddy Waters Complete Plantation Field Recordings, VZ had full signal!

The 4" of rain arriving the night before I arrived made the actual campsites unusable, so this isn't a true evaluation. I really appreciated Howard's prompt communication when I made the reservation and his suggesting where I could park my rig without sinking to my hocks. And that worked well. The Gin (no, not THAT kind of gin...this is a cotton gin) is in tatters, but if there were musicians playing it would be a unique venue and in an area without many overnight sites.

Great time, great place. Great open areas and full electric and water. Tons of history. Met the owner, Howard, who took us around the gin and the property. Learned alot. Highly recommend this Hipcamp.
