Walking a trail through 36 million-year-old petrified wood is the main draw at Mississippi Petrified Forest, a small, forested campground in Flora that pairs a geological attraction with drive-in sites and full hookups. The campground has only 15 sites, most of which are drive-through, and reviewers note that occupancy tends to run low, giving the place a low-key, uncrowded feel on most nights. Sites include 30-amp electric, water, and sewer hookups, making it a workable stop for RV travelers passing through central Mississippi or using it as a base for places to camp around Madison.
Site quality varies by location. Sites near the far end of the loop sit in a more open, grassy area with better sky exposure, and one of those spots sits adjacent to a rusting railroad caboose that adds a distinctly rustic note to the surroundings. Picnic tables appear well-maintained, and fire rings are in place at sites. Campfires are permitted, and the 110-volt outlets at each site have been noted as useful for campers without standard RV power needs.
The bathrooms have drawn mixed feedback. One reviewer found the single shower unusable due to moisture damage and possible mold, while another visiting at a different time described "clean bathrooms and great showers." Bugs, including ants and spiders, are part of the environment here, and maintenance appears to run on a weekly rather than daily schedule. Drinking water is available on-site, and a dump station serves self-contained rigs. This campground works best for RV travelers or tent campers who want full hookups in a forested setting with a short walk to a genuine natural history site.
Description
The campground features 11 full hook-up RV camp sites with water, sewer and electric (20, 30 and 50 AMP service) and a tent camping area that includes 4 sites with water and electricity. This is a secluded wooded area offering peace and quiet in a wonderful natural setting. Showers and restrooms are located in the campground area as well as a dump station. Future plans include an expansion with additional sites to accommodate larger RVs.
