Forest County Multi-Purpose Events Center

RVers traveling through Mississippi find a practical overnight stop at this municipal campground adjacent to the Forest County Multi-Purpose Events Center. The facility offers 147 concrete-pad sites with full hookups accommodating rigs up to 50 feet, though JJ M. notes the park typically runs at only one-third capacity, giving campers plenty of space selection.

The campground operates on an honor system for payment, with rates recently increased to $25 according to visitor reports. Clean restrooms serve the facility, though showers are not available. Cell reception proves reliable throughout the park, and the concrete pads provide level parking for larger RVs. When events occur at the adjacent multi-purpose center—rodeos, barrel racing, or concerts—noise levels may increase temporarily.

A lake sits behind the campground, connected by a wooden walking bridge that spans the entire water body. This feature adds recreational value for campers seeking a brief nature walk or fishing opportunity. The campground provides easy highway access for travelers continuing toward Gulf Coast destinations, though maintenance of restrooms has received mixed reviews from recent visitors. For additional overnight options, campers can explore places to camp around Hattiesburg.

The facility works best for RVers needing a convenient highway stop with full utilities rather than a destination camping experience.

quick overnight

Was alright for a quick overnight. Really needs some better maintenance and cleaning especially restrooms. Some “long term” RVs set up, pretty quiet though. Price increased to $25.

LOVE-LOVE-LOVE this place!

There were maybe 6 campers here when we arrived at midnight or so- Easy access, large lots, 50amp and under, not a destination but the perfect overnight stop! However, beautiful lake behind it with a wooden walking bridge that crosses the entire thing. I will be here EVERY TIME I cone this way!!

Great No-Frills Stop

Great place to stop if you just need to get off the road. There wasn’t anything going on at the multipurpose center, so we pretty much had our pick of the 147 spots. There is a clean restroom, but no shower.

Great for Overnight

While maybe not a destination site, it’s great for overnighting. We’ve stayed here for an overnight several years in a row on our way to Gulf Shores from Central AR. Concrete pads, full hookups, excellent satellite reception throughout the park. The RV Park is adjacent to a multi purpose facility. Rodeo, barrel racing, concerts, gatherings, etc. In our stops here, the park has never been more than a 1/3 occupied. Plenty of spaces to choose from. Payment is the honor system. $20 on the way out!
