Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway
Overview
ATTENTION: Whitten Campground will be closed September 8, 2024 - February 1, 2025 for renovations. We are sorry for the incovenience, but hope you enjoy the park even more once work is completed. Whitten Park Campground attracts thousands of outdoor enthusiasts for picnicking, fishing and swimming on the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway. Easy access to three boat docks, nature trails and a sandy swimming beach with a gazebo overlooking the waterway, make Whitten Park a welcoming destination for campers. Whitten Park is also referred to as Fulton Campground because of its location in Fulton, Mississippi.
Recreation
Anglers can try their luck on the fishing dock or go off-shore in search of bass and crappie. Hikers will enjoy many nature trails, which weave through wooded wildlife habitats.
Facilities
The campground offers 60 sites with electric and water hookups. The three camp loops provide easy access to playgrounds and showers.

The Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway extends 234 miles from the Tennessee River to the junction of the Tombigbee River in Alabama.

GuideWooded sites, clean
Stayed on a weekend in March. Campground was about 80% full. Bath and showers were clean. Concrete pad with adjacent gravel area for screen room, tent, etc. Laundry facilities were closed during our stay. Paved bike trail nearby. Limited walking trails within the campground. One dump station and trash collection area near the check-in. Good Verizon signal.
RangerExactly fits the description
Nice park with 3 loops and a few short trails. Reservation on recreate.gov and my spot was $30 a night which feels a bit steep but seems to be the going rate. The spots are not private at all but there are trees.
LegendNice quiet CG on the water
We are full-timers in a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow. We were in site 049 for just one night in mid March. The CG is very clean, quiet, peaceful and well maintained. The pads are all concrete with gravel picnic table areas and most sites have reasonable separation.
AT&T coverage was quite good, with 2-3 bars of 5GE and speeds of ~12 MB/s. We were not able to get DISH coverage on any of the western satellites at our site do to the area being heavily wooded. We were able to get 15 OTA channels with our omni antenna. Our site had an open area next to it so we were able to get decent Starlink coverage, with only intermittent dropouts and speeds of 4+ MB/s, but most of the other sites wouldn’t fair so well.
