Timberlake Campground

On the shores of Ross Barnett Reservoir, Timberlake Campground sits within the Lakeshore Recreation Area, managed by the Pearl River Valley and Water Supply District. The forested campground provides concrete pads for RVs up to 50 feet, with full hookups including 50-amp electric service. A Kroger grocery store sits directly across the street, making resupply runs convenient for extended stays.

Campers can select from first-come, first-served sites or make reservations in advance. The concrete pads offer level parking, though some reviewers note certain areas show wear with broken sections and uneven surfaces. David H. describes the facility as having a "clean very modern bathhouse" with private showers and locking stall doors. A swimming pool provides relief during Mississippi's warm months, while laundry facilities handle longer-term camping needs.

The reservoir offers direct water access for boaters, though wind conditions can create choppy waters. A disc golf course operates adjacent to the campground within the recreation area, along with soccer fields and other park amenities. Campers report good fishing opportunities from the shoreline, with tall trees providing shade throughout most of the campground. The location serves as a convenient base for events at nearby venues, including the annual Deep South Triathlon.

Early morning grounds maintenance can generate noise, particularly from lawn equipment operating around campsites. Some areas of the campground receive more attention than others, with maintenance quality varying by section. Jenn M. notes it "feels super remote but still close to shopping," capturing the balance between lake access and urban convenience. For those exploring the broader region, campgrounds around Flowood provide additional overnight options within the Jackson metropolitan area.

Many visitors highlighted the lakeside location, concrete pad sites, and quality amenities like clean bathhouses and pool. Convenience to restaurants and Kroger was commonly noted. Some concerns about maintenance inconsistencies and noise levels.

Flexible check in + convenient location but beware of AM lawnmower army

We were planning to stay a second night in a better location on the resevoir… so we moved to avoid the sound, fury and allergens of a half dozen lawn tractor mowers circling us. The management notified us that there would be a $20. Fee for changing spaces plus the fees for an additional night and were asked to return to our original site until check in time if we didn’t want to pay the additional 20 bucks.

We moved to the bathhouse, showered, hung out by the pool until check out time and departed for another campground.  Sometimes management treats guests  according to the rules of an HOA, versus the hospitality industry. It was kind of sad. 

We did enjoy the site, the pool and the water views. We didn’t enjoy the sound of traffic and  grounds maintenance early in the morning. We might return one day, but much wiser, indeed.

Timberlake Campground was great

We will definitely come back to this campground. When you come to the campground , nightly rentals are first come first serve. You drive back and pick your available spot and go back to the office to pay. We were lucky to get a beautiful water spot this time. It’s clean and spots are a concrete pad. Right outside the campground is a Kroger across the street. It’s convenient to lots of things but tucked away as a quiet getaway.

Beware the bathroom!

This campground looked wonderful on the surface. Parts of it is very well cared for & maintained, but a large area needs serious attention. Our site was in that area. The concrete pads were badly broken & uneven, garbage littered the whole area, one of the electric posts was broken, and the bathroom was one of the nastiest we've encountered in our 8 years of travel. Moldy; broken tiles, countertop, towel dispenser, & trim; caution tape over both shower stalls in the women's; and a healthy ant freeway running thru one of the stalls. This bathroom obviously has been in decay for several years.

Convenient and clean

We have camped the last 2 years for the local half Ironman race (Deep South Triathlon) and it’s more than just convenient, it’s perfect for what we want. This campground is right on the reservoir, but immediately near any restaurant, grocery, event space you want.

You can just roll in, find a spot and let the office know you’re there, or better yet, reserve a spot and make sure there is room for you. The sites are clean, level and I believe they all have hookups up to 50amp.

Excellent campground

We camped here Sept. 20-22 while we were in town to volunteer at the Sanderson Farms PGA golf tournament. I was very impressed with the amenities such as the laundry room, pool and bath house. The bath house was very clean and has private showers. The staff was very helpful. It is located right on the Ross Barnett Reservoir so it is a beautiful area. If you need anything, there is a Kroger grocery store right across the street from the campground. I was very satisfied and will stay there again for future tournaments.

Decent

It’s close to lots of restaurants and any other store you would need anything from. The lake water is clean for the most part. There is a park right next to the campgrounds with different things to do such as disc golf and soccer goals.
