Managed by the City of Fulton, Whitten Park Campground sits along the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway in north Mississippi, accommodating RVs up to 98 feet on paved sites with water and electric hookups. The campground operates year-round with rates ranging from $34-36 per night, though reviewers note the access road can present challenges for some arrivals.
Three loops wind through mature hardwoods that provide substantial shade but can interfere with satellite reception. MickandKarla W. notes "Whitten CG has a lot of mature trees, so satellite is iffy," though cellular service typically provides 2-3 bars for most carriers. Sites feature concrete pads with gravel patios, and many offer water views. Site spacing allows privacy between most spots, with trees creating natural barriers.
Fishing ranks as the primary draw, with multiple piers extending into the waterway where catfish provide consistent action. Sable A. reports "Fishing off the fishing docks was great!" The Tennessee-Tombigbee Trail runs along the waterfront, connecting to walking paths throughout the recreation area. A swimming beach operates seasonally, and the James L. Whitten Historical Center near the entrance offers exhibits about the waterway's construction.
Bathhouses serve each loop with basic facilities that reviewers describe as clean but dated, lacking the washers and dryers that were previously available. The campground closes overnight from 10 PM to 6 AM for security. Water pressure runs strong, and the dump station sits conveniently near the entrance. Campers can explore campgrounds around Fulton for additional options in the area.
Reservations can be made online, with sites filling on weekends but remaining quiet during weekdays.
