Clarkco State Park Campground

We chose this campground to stay for 1-2 nights while traveling to New Orleans. We reviewed all available information beforehand: Google reviews, Wikicamps, The Dyrt, and the website... nowhere did it mention that the campground was closed. After a 11-hour drive, we arrived at 8 PM only to find the campground closed. Very, very frustrating...

Our family of 5 (young kids) stayed for the weekend. A four day weekend would have been perfect. Our site was easy to get into and relatively easy to level. Full hookups. Activities included swimming, splash pad, hiking, disk golf, fishing, kayak rentals, and playgrounds. They are about to close the park for the season to renovate. All the pads are about to be concrete and I think they are fixing some of the space issues(some spots are currently tight to get into). We will be back next year.

Love the trails and lake

Great stay! Beautiful park with many amenities. Have premium sites with 50/30 amp sewer and water. Have lake front sites, pavilions, cabins, and “glamping” tent sites. There is also two roped off swimming areas in lake, playgrounds, and boat ramp. Facilities are well maintained. Very impressed and will stay again.

State park near Alabama/Mississippi border. Nice park. Chose to do primitive camping for $15 plus tax, but they offer other options too. -dispersed camping -some sites near lake -mediocre fire pits -picnic table -quiet aside from other campers -other campers seem like they get kind of rowdy there, but this was also a holiday weekend -the sites aren’t numbered and are hard to find in the dark because the fire pits and picnic tables are randomly placed throughout the woods. It was like a treasure hunt to find them. -the amenities were far away which is why we’re giving it 4 stars.

This 12 acre lake is one of our favorite camping spots. They have a group of volunteers who have put a lot of work into making this a nice state park, and the people that work here are the best. We have a pull through facing the lake. Beautiful view. It is close to the swimming spot for the campers so can be a little noisy during the day, but we didn’t mind. Love the lake for kayaks and fishing. We find ourselves coming back here again and again.

Located this location on the Dyrt app. Called about 2 hours away and the person I spoke with was super nice. Met her upon arrival. Very nice location hidden away.

Clarkco is a wonderful campground. The sites are clean and spacious with many having access to the lake. The campground has many amenities, including walking/hiking trails, swimming areas, playgrounds and much more.

We stayed at spot twenty. As mentioned in another review, the terrain is uneven but the pads are level asphalt. It is a busy campground but it is still quiet. There a few bathhouses and one has laundry machines. The rest rooms are clean every morning and are well taken care of ( some of the cleanest I have seen so far). There is a 65 acre lake with bass, bream, and catfish. Talk with the park rangers, the fish are finicky. They have a small water park for the kids and two pavilions. Great campground.

Very friendly staff. Beautiful camp site in deep forest with a gorgeous lake next to it. One heads up; it gets very loud at night in terms of the bugs! They're quite active there. Bring mosquito spray for sure.

I picked this park as a stopover on our way to Georgia based on online pictures. We really loved it. The lake is beautiful and the surroundings make you feel like you’re much deeper in the woods than you are. The sites are a good size but some are quite angled and have a drop off from the pad. The rock fire rings are a nice touch. Dunn’s Mill and Stucky’s bridge are worth checking out if you have some time to go exploring.

We stopped here on the way to the coast. It was a very nice campground with a small lake, lots of playground equipment, and hiking trails. Pads were level and shower houses were clean. We really enjoyed our stay on sites #17 & #38 going and returning.

Great little lake with a beautiful view. Our Verizon Phone picked up well. Loved the hiking trails around the lake. Well maintained. We stayed on site 31, a pullthrough. Two fire pits and a very large area to play areound the camper. Not a lot of campers in the off season. Will definitely be back with kayaks. The other loop had a private swimming spot. How cool is that?

We met our camper (and her prior owner) here at ClarkCo State Park. A perfect place to be introduced to her, complete our purchase and get oriented to our new (to us) camper. Lake side, lots of tree coverage has helped the August 95degree MS temps. Friendly neighboring campers, lots of kids swimming and kayaking. We even took the time to walk a trail or two. Dog friendly, easy hook ups. Prefect first camping experience so far.

Haven’t been to Clarkco in years, but we used to have our family reunion here every year in October. The cabins were large and pretty nice. Always had lots and lots of fun here.

Great campsites and cabins. Husband enjoys the fishing.

I camped and kayak fished. Those park had the cleanest bath houses I've ever used and a splash pad for the kids to play in.

some sites better than others, sewage hook up available , splash pad for kids and nice swimming, bath house clean and close. The only down side is garbage cans not at sites,has to be carried to trash bin

This is our second visit within a year to Clarkco. We’ve stayed on both loops. This time on loop 1 we were on site 4. It was tight to get into but had a lovely little land pier onto the lake. This is a very well kept park. The public facilities are very child friendly with a cool and colorful splash pad and cordoned off swimming area. Loop 1 also has a cordoned off swimming area. It’s truly a secret little gem hidden away. It is very quiet and each of the sites are large and private. The public restrooms and showers are extremely clean and well kept. Also they offer large pavilions for large group gatherings. Very dog friendly (we have 3) and the entire campground is respectful of quiet hours from 10 pm to 8 am. The Clarkco staff takes great pride in their facilities!! Thank you. You’ll fall in love with Clarkco too.

We had a group of is that came to Clarkco for Labor Day weekend. It was a medium sized campground d, with good activities.

We parked our skoolie in an RV spot. The non-premium RV spots are a little oddly set up and can seem cramped, but we enjoyed our spot. The lakeside premium spots are where we will park next time. The bathrooms were nice and they also have a laundromat

My husband and friends canoed/kayaked and enjoyed the lake. Not much luck fishing though. We went on a small trail as well.

Camp store is slowly being restored. Not many options, but they are actively trying to add more supplies.
