Pecan Grove RV Park

All this and Muppets too… the Jim Henson Museum (half an hour’s drive) has been set up at the birthplace of Kermit the Frog: take a trip over here and you can come face to face with the famed frog (now spending his retirement in a display case) and other bits and bobs of Muppet memorabilia. Also worth visiting while you’re over paying homage to the frog is the nearby Highway 61 Blues Museum, which tells the musical tales of around 80 Delta Blues artists from the local area. More local history from different points in the past can be encountered at the Greenville History Museum (25 minutes) or the prehistoric Winterville Mounds (half an hour). The smart Lakeport Plantation House (15 minutes’ drive) shows another side of local history, detailing life for both plantation owners and the slaves they brought to the country. For a bit of fresh air to follow up all your history lessons, take the 15-minute drive to Lake Chicot State Park to see what wildlife you can spot as you hike the trails or paddle a kayak along the waterways. Don’t worry about overheating – you can cool off by plunging into the open-air pool during summer season.
