These eco-friendly canvas accommodations include electricity and water hookups with picturesque views of Pickwick Lake.

Most glamping sites feature dedicated picnic areas and fire pits for evening relaxation. Advance reservations are recommended, especially during peak season from March through November, when boutique camping experiences in the region are in highest demand.
"It has primitive site, hookups, cabins and wall tents. There are lots of activities to do as well. It was sad to see some of the buildings in disrepair and I wish the bathrooms could get an upgrade."
"They have big porches, a kitchen, bathroom, and two beds which was perfect for two couples to visit. They are quite old, but it adds to the charm of the cabins. "

GuideEnded up at this location after a crappy night in Alabama. It was very clean nice location. Very nice Mississippi State Park Campground. All the staff were very friendly and Gary was a great guy that we chatted with for a bit after checking in. Restrooms were clean and air conditioned. Family type campgrounds with friendly happy campers. We will be back a lot more in the future.
LegendI’m so glad I’ve finally checked this campsite off the list! It is a beautiful CCC camp that was built in the 1930s. It has primitive site, hookups, cabins and wall tents. There are lots of activities to do as well. It was sad to see some of the buildings in disrepair and I wish the bathrooms could get an upgrade. Be sure to check out the swinging bridge! There’s also disk golf!
GuideThe sites are rather narrow with varying sizes and locations for outdoor living space. Pay close attention to the states website regarding vehicle size maximums. As I walk through the park, it appears that all spots are full hookup and paved. We are on site 43 and anything longer than 30 ft will be pushing it. As it is, our 25ft trailer fits nicely, but the truck is parallel parked across the end of my site in order to be off the road. The picnic table is behind the camper instead of on camp side, which isn’t my favorite setup but we are making due. Some sites have metal fire rings, while others (like ours) have rock circle pits. Some campsites on the hill side have no picnic table OR fire pits. They also have almost no room to walk around the RV without tumbling down the hill. Sites 62 and 64 aren’t terrible, but everything else from 59 and up is pretty bad. 25-34 and 51-54 are short and back up to a a hill. Would be great for Class B or smaller travel trailers. Sites 10-24 are in a separate area from the rest. 35-50 are down on a low flat area near the water and are the best if you like a view of the lake.
Bath house in our loop is clean, not completely out of date, and heated for cold weather camping. There is a small area with 2 set of pay washers/dryers and a few vending machines.
All in all, well worth the State’s $32/night charge.
LegendPROS
We were able to reserve 368 days prior to arrival
Very friendly and helpful check-in clerk
Fantastic view of the lake from site 45
Mostly quiet except for campground party animals until 3am!
Concrete parking pad
BBQ grill
Fire ring constructed of concrete pavers
Coin-operated washers/dryers in shower/toilet facility
Small playground, pool and mini-golf course
Good jumping off point for Shiloh Battlefield
CONS
Campsite 45 was full of litter…cigarettes butts, bones, bottle caps, pieces of chalk, straws, melted soda bottles…just nasty
Fire ring made of concrete pavers full of ash and trash upon arrival…again nasty Pedestal BBQ grill full of trash and ash upon arrival…more nastiness
Campers ignored basic rules/courtesy/respect such as keeping dogs on leash and walking through occupied campsites at anytime. One camper walking through our site complained to us our chairs on our site were in THEIR way.
No senior discount
Narrow site
Site 45 not level
Site 45 mostly fun sun
Basically we didn't experience any of the campground rules being enforced so obviously there is no management oversight at this State Park
Never saw a park ranger drive through the campground (Saturday-Monday)
Never saw a camp host or a campsite for a camp host
Campground quiet hours not enforced
Posted "No Swimming” from campsites along lake, but that didn’t stop a sole and no one enforced it
Concrete picnic table at end of parking pad, so at the bumper of the camper
Sites very close to each other with no vegetation between sites, so no privacy what so ever
Street lights throughout campground, so not dark sky friendly
Small playground, pool and mini-golf course not walkable from campground
Trash dumpsters outside of campground…not walkable
Twisty, steep and narrow roadway into campsite...not for novice rig drivers
Due to short campsites, tow vehicles had to be creative with parking, sometimes blocking most of the campground road, again no enforcement efforts
No WiFi
1 bar Verizon
GuideI have camped here twice so far and it is a nice, basic campground. We tent camped but there were a couple of RV's there, so I know there are places for them. It is on a nice stretch of the Tennessee River, and you can swim, fish, and boat there. Plenty of camp sites and very spacious. Popular with the locals and fairly secluded. Pretty woodland all around. There is a bathhouse with toilets, sinks, and cold showers. The bathhouse is pretty centrally located and there are electric lights around it. Usually not crowded. Plenty of dead wood to collect for firewood. There is a covered area with picnic tables near the bathhouse. Also a few picnic tables around the grounds. There are also plenty of trash cans and fire pits. You can park right next to your site. Very good for family camping. Within a few miles there are a couple of gas stations/convenience stores. Some cell service works out there, some not so much.
LegendDavis Lake Recreation Area is situated just 4 miles from the Natchez Trace Parkway. The campground is adjacent to the Eastern shore of the 200 acre Davis Lake. 14 sites are right on the lake front offering spectacular sun rises and evening sun sets, The lake is known to anglers, and wildlife and birds are a given…we had a Great Blue Heron"friend" during our entire stay. The sites were level, paved, and all had nice spacing, picnic tables, fire pits and well cared for electric service (50 amp) and water. Bathhouses were clean and laundry was available. Dump Station. Plenty of historic places to visit in the area and groceries are available in Houlka just 4 miles away. We visited in late September with only 6 sites in use…felt like we had the place to ourselves…and being located in the Tombigbee National Forest there was no light pollution making the night sky a spectacular sight to see.
RangerAs luck would have it, we spotted this place on our Natchez Trace Parkway map and decided we had enough driving for the day. Beautiful setting among the trees and right next to the lake. Level, fire pits, charcoal grills, picnic tables, water and electric all for 20.00 a night and we didn’t qualify for any discount. Already decided we’re staying another night!
LegendAnother Mississippi State Park that has so much potential, but has been neglected. The bath house is nice, but most of the sites are extremely close together. Laundry facility’s and vending machines can be found in the bathroom.
The cove with sites 10-24 seem to be the better spots in my personal opinion. The sites on the water are nice (43,45,47).
They do have cabins for rent along with a lodge and a Marina on site. Most people that camp here are coming for the lake. This is a popular place during the summer.
LegendThis review is based on a short stay campground (CG). We followed our GPS right to this CG off US-45 just south of Corinth. We were instructed by the very nice owner, Jim, to call when we were 30 minutes out so he could meet us. Jim was right there when we pulled in and we had the choice of two pull throughs or a back-in. We chose back-in site E with FHUs for our two night’s stay. The back-in was easy and the site was fairly level as we had no problems auto-leveling. Water pressure was good at around 45 psi. We had no problems with utilities that were towards the back of the pad as we could back in a good distance. There were no playground, picnic tables nor fire pits. The CG has full timers and seasonal campers, who were very nice. They have a nice bathroom with a shower plus a small laundry with one washer and dryer. The washing is free and drying costs$1. We got two bars on Verizon and a clear shot north for Starlink. This CG is listed under Passport America but looking at reviews on multiple sites, Jim charges everyone the same price around$30. There’s no dog area, but plenty of room to walk your pups. US-45 is near so you get highway noise. After several attempts, we never got connected to the CG’s wifi. Corinth has all your major amenities such as Walmart, Lowes, etc. Borroum's Drug Store and Soda Fountain is a throwback in time and a great place to get lunch. Get there early though, as they fill up fast.We enjoyed our stay in this no frills, laid back, and friendly CG. We would definitely stay here again.
Primitive camping options surround Baldwyn, Mississippi, in a region where hardwood forests meet meadows at around 400 feet elevation. Temperatures average 75-90°F during summer with high humidity, while winters can drop into the 30s. Most campgrounds in this area remain open year-round, with spring and fall offering ideal conditions for yurt camping near Baldwyn.
Fishing at Pickwick Lake: Accessible from Pickwick Dam Campground, where water activities dominate the experience. "Beautiful view on the TN River and the Pickwick Dam. The only negative is the noise and smell of the paper mill on the opposite side of the river," notes one camper who used the location as a base for exploring.
Explore historic sites: Many campgrounds provide access to Civil War battlefields. "It is also close to the Shiloh National Military Park which is the reason we are here," explains a visitor to Pickwick Dam. This area's rich history offers educational opportunities within 25 miles of most campsites.
Disc golf courses: Tishomingo State Park features three complete disc golf courses through forested terrain. "Love this little place. Great for families with many hiking trails and 3 disc golf courses," states a regular visitor. Courses range from beginner to advanced levels.
Level, spacious sites: Many campgrounds have been renovated with concrete pads for easier setup. At Trace State Park, "We were in site 4 on the lake. Beautiful view! Grounds could use some updating but we really enjoyed our stay here," shares one camper about the waterfront experience.
Wildlife viewing opportunities: The natural surroundings support diverse bird species. "We had a Great Blue Heron 'friend' during our entire stay," mentions a visitor to Davis Lake Campground, where lakefront sites offer prime wildlife observation points approximately 20 feet from the water.
Clean facilities: Even the more remote locations maintain good standards. "Bathrooms were clean and air conditioned. Family type campgrounds with friendly happy campers," reports a visitor to J.P. Coleman State Park, highlighting the comfort level even during hot Mississippi summers.
Seasonal crowds: Peak season runs March through November with weekends filling quickly. "This is a very popular place. I do see why!" notes a camper at Davis Lake, recommending weekday visits during summer.
Booking windows: State parks allow reservations up to 368 days in advance. "We were able to reserve 368 days prior to arrival," explains a visitor to J.P. Coleman, which helps secure prime waterfront sites during busy periods.
Cell service limitations: Coverage varies significantly between providers. At Piney Grove, "Cell service was spotty with both Verizon and AT&T having two bars. We could text but not receive phone calls and often the internet wouldn't connect or was too slow to be useful," reports a recent camper.
Beach access: Several locations offer swimming areas for children. "The campground featured a lovely lake beach," mentions a visitor to Piney Grove, though parents should note that not all lakes permit swimming.
Playground availability: Check which campgrounds maintain play equipment. "The park has a nice playground at entrance and small area of mini golf," notes a reviewer at Pickwick Dam Campground, providing entertainment options beyond water activities.
Educational opportunities: Puskus Lake offers nature exploration in a quieter setting. "Wonderful sunset, most sites are around 100-50 feet from the water," describes one visitor, making it ideal for teaching children about wetland ecosystems.
Site selection for larger rigs: Many campgrounds have limited space for big RVs. "A lot of the sites have some lake view. Sites here are closer together than other COEs we have stayed in," explains an RVer at Piney Grove, suggesting perimeter sites for more privacy.
Leveling challenges: Bring adequate blocks for uneven terrain. "Our Super C Class did require more blocks for leveling in the front on Site 6," shares a camper at Pickwick Dam, where even recently renovated sites may need adjustments.
Hookup locations: Position carefully when backing in. "We had no problems with utilities that were towards the back of the pad as we could back in a good distance," advises an RVer at Cross City RV Park, where site design accommodates various RV configurations.
