The dump station most rigs use is Magnolia RV Park ($10); propane refill at U-Haul of Vicksburg (3300 Halls Ferry Rd, Vicksburg, MS 39180). The local-calendar tripwire is Vicksburg Civil War battlefield reenactment (first weekend of July) — anniversary events bring military-history audience; campgrounds within 30 mi book out. Best stays land in March through May and October through November; the season to avoid is July through August.
The mistake the local visitor bureau warns about is trying to drive a Class A on the national military park's tour-road loop — tour road has tight switchbacks; rigs over 40 ft prohibited per NPS rules.

Parking ordinances that bite RVs
No vehicle may be parked on any street for longer than 30 minutes between 2:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. on any day, except physicians on emergency calls.
Citation: Vicksburg Code of Ordinances Sec. 16-248 (Between 2:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m.)
What this means for you: This is effectively a citywide overnight street-parking ban and it applies to every vehicle, so an RV is inside it by default rather than by any RV-specific provision. Thirty minutes is not a grace period you can plan around — between 2 and 5 a.m. you need to be off Vicksburg streets entirely. This one rule does more work for an RV traveller than any oversized-vehicle section would.
No vehicle may be parked on any roadway for the principal purpose of displaying it for sale, or washing, greasing or repairing it, except repairs necessitated by an emergency.
Citation: Vicksburg Code of Ordinances Sec. 16-232 (For certain purposes)
What this means for you: Relevant if you need to do roadside maintenance — dumping, rinsing or servicing the rig at a Vicksburg curb is prohibited unless it is a genuine emergency repair. Use a campground service bay.
