The US Army Corps of Engineers manages Wallace Creek within Enid Lake, a flood control reservoir that draws boaters and anglers to its nearly 100 campsites spread across multiple loops. The campground spans hilly terrain with paved roads that accommodate RVs up to 141 feet, though some sites require leveling blocks due to the rolling topography.
Sites feature concrete pads with full hookups, picnic tables, fire pits, and grills. Many offer lake views, with waterfront locations being the most sought-after spots. Nancy W. notes that "sites are really nice and spacious with paved driveways and patios," while multiple bathhouses throughout the campground provide clean restrooms and showers. Site spacing varies, with some waterfront spots closer together than others.
Enid Lake serves as the main attraction for fishing and boating, with a boat launch and fish cleaning station on-site. Swimming occurs when water levels permit beach access. The nearby North Mississippi Fish Hatchery offers tours for a small fee. A walking trail exists despite posted closure signs, according to camp hosts. A convenience store within the area provides gas, bait, and breakfast items.
The campground stays busy during summer months with the boating crowd but offers more site selection during off-season visits. Bright security lighting near the boat ramp may affect sleep for sensitive campers. Some sites like #28 and #72 receive frequent mentions for their pull-through access and water views. Craig E. describes the "large sites with elbow room" and extra-large, clean bathhouses.
Wallace Creek works well for RV travelers seeking full hookups with water access and families who enjoy lake activities during warmer months.
