Welcome to the Grand Gulf Military Park! In May of 1962, the Grand Gulf Military Monument Park was officially opened, dedicated to preserving the memory of both the town and the battle in which occurred there. Located eight miles northwest of Port Gibson, Mississippi off Highway 61, this 450 acre landmark is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and includes Fort Cobun and Fort Wade, the Grand Gulf Cemetery, a museum, campgrounds, picnic areas, hiking trails, an observation tower, and several restored buildings dating back to Grand Gulf's heyday.
Camping is available at the Park's campground year round. There are 42 full hook-up concrete sites with water, sewer, and electric (30/50amp). Shower facilities are located close to both the upper and lower campgrounds. The laundry facility is located in the same building as the bathroom for the lower RVs.
Bathrooms are hands down the best I’ve ever seen. Campsites aren’t on top of each other but are pretty close. My tent wouldn’t fit on the tent pad but was able to find a level spot to set up anyways. The lake was pretty busy with people fishing or paddling. Two room cabins looked pretty great and are on the water. Had two playgrounds and kids trail. Went to go to kayak out to Castle Tree and found out the water was too high to really see the base of it and it’s a two hr paddle upstream on the way there. So plan on calling ahead if you’re going to do that since the water can also be too low.
Quiet shady campsite. Not very full at all so it was peaceful. Showers and bathrooms were clean. Decent WIFI. Booster is close to site 14 and 15. If you like to be level in every direction, there are only about half of the sites that are easy to get that way. 4,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,14. All the rest slope a great deal. The ones on the inner loop slope from back to front. The ones on the outer loop slope front to back pretty dramatically. Inner loop sites are short. There were many campers unlevel it looked to me and jacks all the way out. I had the right side on 3 blocks to get it up to level.
If it rains its muddy in the site. They look to be clearing some trees as the area close to #12 where we camped had some leaning dead trees that were a bit concerning. Especially considering we had severe storms one night. Tree hit the bathroom building and also fell across the access road.
2nd picture hope you can tell how downhill the outside sites are after 14.
We stayed in the upper campground and really liked it! Nice museum on site and the park people are dog friendly! Quiet with full hook ups. Limited Wi-Fi, good tv reception

Nice RV spots with full hookups. Cellular service isn’t great but they do have Wi-Fi. The RV camping area has a nice, new, and clean restroom and shower facility with coin-operated laundry.
Our Site #6 was large and it was a good value for full hookups, but the town of Bastrop was nothing to write home about. Winter is probably not the best time to visit — rather spooky with no leaves on the trees and most sites vacant.
Only 1 loop open now (October). Not very attractive sites. Trees are nice but pads are narrow and a bit chewed up. Full hook-up though.
This place is wonderful beautiful place. I should keep it a secret but i can share. Their are two locations one in a valley it an awesome spot only draw back no campfire because the smoke does not leave the valley it just collect between the two hills. The second is on a hill top. I LOVE THIS SPOT . IT A TALL HILL BUT YOU CAN MAKE IT. You have call to make your reservation and pay when you get their. It cost 25 a day well worth it. Call if you going be later then 5pm they lock the gate. They will give you lock comb. The pmt is also the tour . The museum and display. It has a road on the park about a mile with a 6 teir lookout tower. Try it for a quiet open spot, you will love it
This is a nice campground with 30 amp 50 amp and 120 volt plugs, sewer connection and the upper lot allows campfires. When there is an outage yes a lot of workers stay here but when the power plant is not busy it is a hidden gem. A lot of history for those who love history.
great little park really beautiful, tight spots but nice stay will go back ,and the pool is a plus
It was a last minute booking, for a holiday weekend, after a major hurricane. Campground was nice, nice & clean bathhouses, nice pool[closed due to pandemic]. Cabins looked nice, too. Just have to be careful what sight you book, because I almost never got my camper level in sight #21. All in all, I would make a return trip
This park/campground is about 8 miles west of the town of Port Gibson, near a nuclear reactor (yes, you heard that right). This park is not on the way to anywhere (except the nuclear reactor) and we were apprehensive as we followed the GPS directions but upon arrival, we were pleasantly surprised by a park filled with history. Unfortunately for us, the campground was full as the nearby reactor was being refueled and all the employees were either camped out along the road or in the park. Also, the Mississippi River had risen to the road, coming very close to flooding the park. For future reference, the camping fees are very reasonable ($25 or $23 for 62 and older) for a FHU site. There is also an area for tents, although I did not ask the fee for this. There are two camping areas – an upper and lower campground and one small bathhouse that is located in the Upper Campground (one toilet and sink and two shower stalls). I would think one night here would be enough, but if you are a history buff, this destination should be on your list.
The town of Grand Gulf boasted nearly 1,000 residents by the mid-1800s but then yellow fever, a tornado, and massive floods reduced the population to 158 by the time the Civil War arrived in the area. Features include a church, mill, old cemetery, observation tower, gun emplacements, rifle pits.
Upgrades have recently been made to a good campground. Nice small fishing lake and swimming pool modern bath houses really nice cabins.
Pretty state park, swimming pool during summer, gorgeous trails on an enchanting bayou, wooded back in slots with a camp host, not much to do in Bastrop but this park is a great attraction. No sewage but there is a dump station. There is also tent camping, cabins, and equestrian camping and trails but there have been budget cuts that prevent horse trail maintenance and road repairs, so you don’t know what you’ll get sometimes. The park has playgrounds and pavilions.
The park is on the smaller side with plenty of cabins and good places to kayak, canoe, and fish. The bayou is very nice. The pool is a little run down looking as of late summer 2019. We went trial hiking but this was a little difficult as the walking trails aren’t really maintained (the horse trails are maintained and clearly marked).
Just what I needed today. Quiet and clean
This is a hidden gem north of Bastrop, Louisiana. Have camped here on multiple occasions. Every time there have been very few campers so it's almost like having the entire campgrounds to yourself. Raccoons are very curious and obviously human fed because they will walk right up to you. Best feature in the park is the Chemin-A-Haut Creek were 1000 year old Cypress trees are scattered throughout. Rent a kayak or canoe to paddle to them.
Overnight camping with small trailer. Nice facilities. Water has been high for a few months so its ugly and not so useable. There’s supposed to be a route by canoe to old growth trees but water is too high
