Piney Grove

Loved this campground. Very nice views. Bathrooms could be a little better and they do not provide soap to wash your hands. So be sure to take some. Overall, great experience!

We followed the campground(CG) instructions versus our RV GPS as it wanted to take us down a country road no RV should go on. There was signage where to turn to get to this COE CG as you got close. As this was a Friday and based on our experience going to state parks/COEs at the end of the season when the weather is really nice, we went in early so we could get ahead of the weekend crowd. We were glad we did as after an easy check in at the gate, we proceeded to our loop to site 21 with 50/30 AMP and water. The loops here are a little tight and there are lots of trees so coming in late on a popular weekend could be challenging with trucks, cars, and boats parked about. Site 21 was a bit of a challenge backing our 39' 5th wheel into. There were lots of trees and a little bridge with big drop offs on either side of the road, but we got in without mishap after a few tries. As the afternoon progressed, the locals plus rookie RVers all swarmed in around the same time. We grabbed a beverage and watched the show. This was our first time staying at Piney Grove, but we had come to the area the last three years to get our 5th wheel serviced. The CG was completely full for the weekend. There are quite a few back-ins that would have been much easier. We suggest reading reviews on various websites to find which sites will better fit your rig. The pad lengths on the reservations website seemed to be accurate. In our opinion, the only pull through that would fit a 40’ 5th wheel was site 73. The rest of the pull throughs were the half moon shaped type with too sharp of internal turn and/or trees to deal with. A lot of the sites have some lake view. Sites here are closer together than other COEs we have stayed in. Cell service was spotty with both Verizon and AT&T having two bars. We could text but not receive phone calls(though we did see a few people talking on their phones) and often the internet wouldn’t connect or was too slow to be useful. There are internet hotspots in the CG but we could not get our phones to recognize and/or connect. You get a handful of OTA channels but no major networks. We had to chuckle when several campers here tried and tried to get their satellite dishes to connect. Unless you are maybe near the main road or boat ramp area, doubtful you would get a signal as there are too many trees.  There’s a gas station with a few convenience items as you turn toward the campground on County Rd 3501. Boonville is 20 or so minutes away with all the major amenities to include a Walmart. Tishomingo is closer going the opposite direction, but only has a Dollar General, small grocery store, and gas stations. We would stay here again, but definitely in a different site.

Half of the campground is closed for winter which makes it excellent for biking. The part that's closed is all the way out on the peninsula so I would ride out there at night and watch the sunset all by myself.

We loved it here. It was quiet and well maintained.  Employees were very friendly.

2/28-3/3/21 Site 44 Brisk mornings (40’s) and comfortable days (50’s-60’s). We share the campground with less than a dozen other campers. Campground staff and other campers are friendly. Park attendant Bobby Owen chatted with us each morning on our walks as he made his rounds. He answered questions and made suggestions. Many sites (43&44) are paired and close together. We see a variety of waterfowl and a few bass fishing boats. It is a working waterway and we observe barges each day.

We have stayed at this campgrounds numerous times and always enjoy it. The park host and attendents are great. Park is always clean. Paved sites with gravel pads around picnic tables.

My wife and I absolutely like to camp here!! We feel safe and at home everyone is always social and it just feels like home!!

Piney Grove Campground was full of beautiful waterfront campsites. It was a delight to be able to put in my kayaks right at my campsite and not have to drive to a boat ramp. Each campsite has a ton of trees, which was great for our 7 hammocks. All campsites are close to bathrooms. The bathrooms were well-kept. 

The campground featured a lovely lake beach. The star of the camp is the beautiful lake. The only downside is that the lake had a lot of motor boat traffic. As a kayaker, I had to stay close to shore to be safe. The waves caused by the motor boats were annoying. 

The campsites were close together, and the borders weren't that clear. While the campsites are sizable, there are only small spaces clear enough for a tent. The camp was really busy while we were there, and it felt like we were sharing a site with our neighbors. 

Overall, it's a beautiful camp. It would probably be most enjoyable for anyone with a motorized boat.

Clean campground with great scenery. Nice beach for swimming and some gorgeous water front camp sites.

Great pad sites for RV Trailer, very private well laid out the restrooms are very clean. Reasonable cost and if you have an America the Beautiful card site is 50% off. Very little Verizon Signal if any at times. Really out of the way about 30 minutes from NTP and about 40 minutes from Tupelo.

Quiet, well maintained Corp of Engineers camp ground.
