We plan to be in the Vicksburg Miss area next weekend. Is there anywhere to tie up for the night? I didn't find any marinas and that's fine. Just looking for a safe place for the night. Thanks in advance.
 
Probably the best you are going to find as bad as it is.-
Latitude: 32°21.076'N
Longitude: 090°53.082'W

The only marina on the lower Mississippi River from where you will enter it off the Arkansas River is at Greenville, Mississippi.

I have made the trip from Little Rock to the gulf 3 times. The person I know that has made the most trips on that part of the Mississippi river is my friend and your surveyor John Linck. If your conversations never got around to the trip, you should call him and ask about anchorages, etc.

Should you need fuel after Greenville, in the past the Vidalia Dock and storage in Vidalia,La would call in a fuel truck and if space available allow you to tie off to their docks overnight. They are a commercial business but will help the occasional non-commercial boater. They are on the La. side of the river across from Natchez,Ms.

On your lower Mississippi River charts, that lat/long that Harlan posted is the Claiborne County Port river mile 403.3
 
Call the folks at Big River Shipbuilders and Salvage, (601) 636-9161. They are located on the harbor in Vicksburg, are good people and should be able to help you or direct you to a location that can accommodate you.
