Pats Bluff

7 ReviewsAdd Review

Within Sardis Lake's protected waters, Pats Bluff operates as a US Army Corps of Engineers campground with 14 sites spread across forested and open terrain. The campground provides both electric and water hookups, with recent sewer additions to upper sites creating full-hookup options for RVs up to 50 amps.

Concrete pads accommodate rigs of various sizes, and sites toward the lake end offer water views. The single bathhouse serves the entire campground, requiring longer walks from some sites. A boat ramp sits close by for water access, though reviews note maintenance issues with the dump station due to gravel storage blocking access. Site spacing prevents crowding, and the location stays relatively quiet during off-peak periods.

"Bathhouse was clean and showers worked great," reports Rick G., noting the spacious concrete pads. The campground accepts reservations and allows pets. Verizon cell coverage runs fair to moderate. A Dollar General sits a few miles away for supplies, and the area provides shoreline hiking opportunities, though litter accumulates along some sections of the lake edge.

For a different experience, Clear Creek - Sardis Lake lies 1.4 miles east with alternative site configurations.

Many campers appreciated the level, spacious sites and friendly hosts at this small 14-site lakefront campground. Facilities receive mixed reviews with some bathroom cleanliness issues and dump station access problems noted.

Quiet and plesant

They have large flat sites. Some with full hookup some just P/W. Reserve on line. We were there in Feb not busy at all. COE was responsive to bathroom cleaning issue. Host was very friendly. Camp ground is very clean but went for a hike along the shore and the trash was off the chart!!!

Who knew?? Found this and i love it! Blows the main lower lake site big time. Had no idea it was over there. Little drive to get there once at the lake on curved back roads but not bad but well worth it to me. Quite and pretty secluded. Around 3 or 4 spots with the best Lake views. Like no other ar Sardis. One sweet spot i believe it is lot 16. Lake views on 3 sides of the camper. Believe it. Pull your boat almost right up on a sand beach right next to the camp site but don't think you can leave there over night. Anywhere on Sardis Lake you can't i think. But a Boat Ramp 2 or 3 minutes away around the corner. Someone complained about no Dump Station. Evertime i went they had one that worked fine. Been about a year tho since I've been. Great place and highly recommended for the private, quite and lake view. Best on the Lake cant say enough unless I'm missing a better spot. Na.

Quiet Wooded Sites

Only a total of 14 sites at this campground. Recently added sewer to upper sites to go along with current 50amp and water hookups. Bathhouse was clean and showers worked great. Concrete pads were spacious for just about any size rig. Stayed a few nights while exploring the Oxford, MS area. Verizon signal was okay, not great.

Quiet weekend campsite

This is somewhat of a rustic hidden gem! It’s off the beaten path, so it wasn’t very busy. The sites at the end with the lake view are nice. There is only one bath house, so it’s kind of a far walk from some of the sites. The boat ramp is very close by.

I am giving this one 3 stars because the bathroom was absolutely disgusting!! There appears to be a permanent resident in the campground that I assume is the camp host. Would be nice if they attended to the bathroom more often. Hopefully it was a fluke. Also, the dump station has been blocked by a massive mound of gravel. Not sure what they are planning to do with it.

Hidden gem... but good luck on a dump station

This is a great little campground overall. The sites aren’t too close together, they are pretty level, and there is plenty of lakefront and woods to wander in. There is a dollar general a few miles away for needed supplies. The only real drawback is the fact that they have pretty much made the dump station unusable by dumping tons of rock there. It appears they are working on the shoreline, however, they blocked access to the station when they stored the rock.
