Map showing campground location near Rolling Fork, Mississippi

Blue Lake

Within Delta National Forest, Blue Lake operates as a US Forest Service campground with three sites positioned along a small lake. The facility charges $7 per night and requires online reservations through recreation.gov, adding an $8 processing fee since no on-site payment station exists.

The campground accommodates RVs up to 28 feet and provides vault toilets, picnic tables, and trash service, though no potable water is available on-site. A gravel boat ramp allows water access for both drive-in and boat-in campers. Site 79A sits closest to the lake, where visitors may spot alligators. The low-elevation wetland location experiences periodic flooding, affecting the nature trail during high water periods. Two-wheel drive vehicles can typically access the area when roads are dry, though cell service from major carriers is unavailable.

Really nice, small campground

Small picnic area & campground along a small, pretty lake. Three campsites - 79A, 79B & 79C. Campsite fee is $7. Camped in April at 79A in a camper van, which is close to the lake. There is no pay station, and the forest office in Rolling Fork is closed; so, you have to make a reservation online at recreation.gov to pay. Online reservation fee is $8. This recreation area has a typical national forest vault toilet (not chem toilet). There is no drinking water. There are trash receptacles next to the vault toilet. There is also a gravel boat ramp. The nature trail was flooded when we visited. Insects were not too bad; we used a Thermocell insect repellent device which seemed to work. Saw an alligator lounging around in the lake. Beautiful nature sounds. No AT&T nor T-Mobile cell service. This is a low elevation, swampy wetland which does get flooded. Two wheel drive passenger cars should make it okay when the road is mostly dry. Drinking water at the forest work center was shut off.
