We visited during quarantine so we could not rent canoes, kayaks, paddle boats or do the zip line but quiet little place. It kept up well.  Beach area and a couple play areas. Lots of fishing going on (never saw anyone catch anything). Nice cabins to rent too. We found a hiking trail and rode bikes 

Clean

Seriously one of the more relaxing parks we've been to in a while. Plenty of space between sites, lots of trees and water views! We were in site 4, which was quite level and easy to back in to. Also had full hookups!!! No loud golf carts this week either! Our site was around 35 dollars a night with taxes. Family and pet friendly. 

Peace and Tranquility 

Perfect location for a weekend retreat traveling from South La. Huge lake for paddling and the doggos to swim. Will definitely be returning. 

Weekend Getaway

We reserved a spot on the lake with a sideways site so the side windows faced the water. Very pretty sunset views. No other RV’s anywhere near us. (It was a Sunday evening). This campground has no Wifi. Cell service was 1 to 2 bars, hotspot worked sometimes. The check-in staff didn’t give us a map so recommended screenshotting the one on their website. We were only there for the night but it was the prettiest and most relaxing site of our 4000 mile trip. 

Beautiful views, quiet, no wifi

We stayed the weekend before Halloween and it was a very busy weekend in the campground.  Some sites were extravagantly decorated and trick or treating following a golf cart parade was fun.  The park is nice.  The only reason I did give 5 stars is because the boardwalks over the lake were in desperate need of repair and unsafe.  

Halloween fun

Very peaceful, well-kept, woodsy type of Campground beautiful Lake. The sunrise was awesome. Squirrels feeding in the trees had a great time

Short trip to just get away 

We just spent the weekend at Little Black Creek Campground in Lumberton, MS, and it absolutely deserves a 5-star review. I live less than 2 hours away and honestly can’t believe I hadn’t discovered this place sooner — it’s a massive, beautifully wooded, and incredibly well-maintained hidden gem.

We stayed at a full hookup RV site and were blown away by how spacious, level, and private it was. Most sites had wooden decks, and many had lake views or direct access, including ours, which had stairs leading right down to the water and a picnic table on a platform. We didn’t see a single “bad” site in the whole park.

The lake is gorgeous, and swimming is allowed! They have kayaks, canoes, jon boats for rent, and even a bait shop onsite. There’s also fishing, hiking trails, disc golf (two full courses!), a general store, multiple bathhouses, and cute tiny cabin rentals for non-RV guests. They even have propane filling, golf cart rentals, and a dump station. It’s a great mix of peaceful nature and plenty to do.

The campground is huge and wooded, with tons of shade and a very peaceful, quiet, and family-friendly atmosphere. There are two beaches — one near the main camp side and another closer to long-term spots and day visitors. We brought our e-bikes and loved riding around the scenic roads and loops.

The bathhouses were older but very clean and air-conditioned, and we felt completely safe the entire time. There’s a gated entrance at night with code access, which is a nice extra touch. The store staff were super friendly and helpful, even giving us some history on the campground. The greeter at the front gate wasn’t the warmest, but that didn’t impact our stay at all.

There’s no Wi-Fi, but T-Mobile worked just enough for us to use a hotspot to stream TV at night. Cell service is limited but manageable.

It’s also very easy to find, just a few minutes off the main road with a gas station and small town nearby, and only about 30 minutes from Hattiesburg.

We will 100% be back and have already told several friends about it. If you’re looking for a peaceful, activity-filled campground that’s off the radar but worth every mile, Little Black Creek is it. Truly one of the best surprises we’ve had camping!
