Great views

We are only here for a few days during the week, but were assured that it would be packed on the weekends. Alot of locals come to use the lake, with a boat ramp right next to the campsites. The boys enjoyed swimming in the lake and riding their bikes around. The visitors center is worth a visit. 4/5 based on tons of dog poop, curbing of dogs is not enforced.

Spacious sites!

Large campground with a couple of different loops. The sites in the first loop are close together, but the other loops have spacious sites! Most sites are either water front or have a water view.

There are several bathrooms spread out through the campground. They are old, but the one we used was clean.

The campground offered a playground, a couple of fishing piers and lots of room to play. Plus, the town of Grenada is close by for restaurants and stores.

Well-kept campground with lots of good sites

We were we were there midweek, so had lots of available sites. Many of the sites have lots of room and are spaced away from their neighbors. Ranger was very nice and helpful. We chose the loop that overlooked the small lake.

Grenada Lake & history area

Simple waterfront site close to town. Activities like boating, beach, playground, cookouts, very short easy hiking trails, fishing. The campgrounds have a few different loops to choose from, some on a large lake and one on a smaller artificial lake.

Yay: great campground hosts, they were so knowledgable and helpful and take such great care of the site. Very shady with lots of trees and grassy areas to create privacy. Very large camping sites and some are right on the water. Nay: the tent pads are concrete, not my favorite but not a problem really.

Surprise: lots of historical sites nearby (we didn’t go but heard good things).

Relaxing Area - Can be Busy!

Rolling hills in Mississippi but all the sites are level concrete pads with water and electric (50A). There are three circles each with their own dump station and paved roads. Loop 1-36 over looks Grenada Lake with several sites having nice water access. Many have great views but I really liked 14 and 17. Loop 37-61 used to be the tent loop so the sites were a bit closer and the road was less big rig friendly but still quite nice. We were in site 50. The other loop, 62-88, over looks a pond with a swimming area and two fishing piers. Each loop has 10 first come sites so about 60% are reservable. If you have reservations, remember your site number since there is no one working at the gate (there is none).

This place was full of families for the Memorial Day weekend. We just relaxed and did a little people watching. The cg is right next to the earthen dam that you drive over to go to the town of Grenada. Grenada Lake is quite nice with a few day use areas and a State Park CG on the banks of the Outflow Channel. There is a Visitor Center on the other side of the dam that has a nice view of the dam and lake. Within the cg, there is a dam to form a pond. You have to drive over that dam to get to one of the loops. Kinda crowded but a nice place to ride bikes, at least all the kids thought so. Golf carts are popular with the locals.

Love this place!!

I love camping here. The campsites are always clean, and it is always a wonderful experience camping here. The camp host at either of the 3 loops are always friendly and happy to see people come in and stay. Campsites close to the water, beautiful sunrises and fun for the whole family.
