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.
