Best Cabin Camping near Belden, MS

69 Reviews

Trace State Park and Tombigbee State Park offer cabin accommodations within 30 minutes of Belden, Mississippi. These cabins provide full kitchens, bathrooms, and comfortable sleeping arrangements with varying levels of furnishing. Electricity and water hookups are standard, with most cabins featuring air conditioning for hot Mississippi summers. "The cabins are clean and quiet. They have a full kitchen, bathroom, and ours slept two in a double bed, but there is room in the living area for cots or sleeping on the couch if you wanted," noted one visitor about nearby Elliot Branch cabins. Serenity RV Park also maintains rental cabins with modern amenities, though specific interior details vary by location.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Wall Doxey State Park features more traditional log cabin structures, while Howard Stafford Park offers contemporary cabin rentals with full hookups. Most cabins require advance reservations, especially during summer months when occupancy rates increase. Booking through Reserve America or directly with the parks is recommended. Pet policies vary by location—Trace and Tombigbee State Parks allow pets in some cabin areas but restrict them in others. A camper wrote, "The Oaks RV Park cabins were recently added and is a nice feature. Always quiet and owners are very accommodating."

Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities range from basic microwaves and mini-refrigerators to full cooking setups with stoves and ovens. Firewood is available for purchase at Trace State Park and Tombigbee State Park for outdoor cooking and evening campfires. Dollar General stores are located near several parks, including one at the entrance to Tombigbee State Park, providing convenient access to groceries and camping supplies. Cabin guests should check specific amenity lists when booking as furnishing levels vary significantly between parks and cabin types.

    Trace State Park Campground

    Needs some work

    Trace State Park near Tupelo, MS. Once you get into Tupelo the signage directing you to the park is easy to find and follow.

    The road in is in terrible shape, the lake is missing, the levy being worked on. They have horse, ATV and mountain bike trails which are in okay shape but could use some TLC. There are rental cabins and the store is limited to souvenir type merchandise and disc’s.

    The staff at the park were very helpful and the facilities, which included a showerhouse/multipurpose room and screened porch were very well taken care of. I definitely liked the large shower stalls!

    The sites are spacious, including a fire area, picnic table, electric hookup, water and sewer hook up. You have some privacy and depending on your site sparse to full shade.

    There is Disc golf, fishing, and currently limited water sports.We used the multipurpose room and a nearby site that had more then enough room for all of us to sit around the fire.

    Tupelo, Mississippi is nearby with Elvis’s birthplace. In addition there are several recreation areas to visit on the Natchez Trace with historical information and trails to explore.

    Trace State Park Campground

    Great Lake Views in Deer Run Campground

    PROS 

    No transaction fee assessed for making my own online reservation 

    Site 8 excellent view of lake 

    Asphalt parking pad 

    Pedestal BBQ, moveable wooden picnic table and rock campfire pit. 

    Eagle Ridge campground has 3 washers and 3 dryers $1.50 

    Heated toilet/shower blding. No AC tho - just a box fan.


    1 bar T-MOBILE but we’re able to live stream TV via T-MOBILE hot spot

    CONS 

    No senior discount 

    Site number is painted in the roadway and due to leaves on road difficult to find Numerous large road potholes from entrance gate to campground.  Guess this eliminates any need for speed bumps!

    Not dark sky friendly due to 2 street lights, at site 2 and 13, that light up most of the small campground loop 

    Deer Run campsites very close to each other 

    Site 8 unlevel side-to-side 

    Dirt and sand surrounded asphalt parking pad so during rains (for 2 days) it was a big mess 

    No privacy from any other campsite 

    Due to campsite water spigot being low to ground, insufficient space to add water filter 

    Deer Run campground toilet/shower building is not handicap accessible 

    Trash roll offs outside of camping loop. 15 minute walk one way. 

    No park WIFI

    Tombigbee State Park Campground

    Pleasantly surprised!!

    We have camped at several MS state parks near Memphis (Tishomingo, Wall Doxey) and have left feeling like MS didn’t have a lot to offer, but Tombigbee State Park is great. There is a video included in the post which includes the entire campground area. I hope you find it helpful. Additionally, here is a basic overview of pros and cons:

    Pros:

    1. All sites close to the bathhouse
    2. Most sites with full hook up including sewer and 30/50 amp plugs. (see pics)
    3. Multiple updated playgrounds
    4. Very affordable. $24 a night for a full hook up site.
    5. Very walkable. Small campground with access to amenities by foot.
    6. Disc golf course is very fun. It is has an interesting layout in the woods so it is much like a hike.
    7. The park is near Tupelo, MS and there is a Dollar General right at the entrance to the park.
    8. If you are primitive camping, the tent camping area is outstanding. (see pic) There are picnic tables, elevated tent platforms, places for hammocks, a porch swing and bench around a raised fire pit. If you are primitive camping, it is a great place.
    9. There are several docks for fishing and there were signs for the option of boating with a trolling motor, but no one was boating while we were there.
    10. The park office was not open while we were here, but it did look updated
    11. Great for young kids because the campground is small with a flat loop that is easy for bike riding, skating, or scooters. It is easy to see the kids from your campsite and not worry about them getting lost
    12. frequent monitoring by the park rangers. Appears that this park is very well taken care of.

    Cons:

    1. Absolutely no shade on the playground.
    2. Inside loop spots are mostly close together. very little privacy.
    3. We were not able to view the inside of the bathhouse.
    4. only 20 sites and only 4 tent camping areas and were without water or electric.
    5. No SP swag so no stickers, patches, shirts, etc.

    This is an A+ for the price, amenities and location to our home base of Memphis. We will definitely be back.

    Tombigbee State Park Campground

    Great for families! Trash location is an issue though

    The campsites were nice. They clouded full hookups, a picnic table and fire ring. The area was clean and surroundings wooded. Neighboring camping spots were adequately spaced. There were lots of areas for kids to play, including a large playground, a baseball/kickball field and hiking/biking trails.

    One big problem, however, was the location of trash dumpsters and cans. There were NO TRASH CANS in the camping area, and the few that were somewhat nearby had signs saying to take your trash to the end of the park road, which was a mile away. This was a problem because we had already hooked up our RV and couldn’t jump in and run the trash that far. Needless to say, whoever maintains the park is being a little lazy and doesn’t want to bother handling trash. Other than that, it was a fairly well maintained park.

    Elliot Branch - Bear Creek Dev Auth

    Great cabins, beautiful lake

    We stayed at two cabins at Elliot Branch in August with some friends.  It is a short drive to Bear Creek if you want to kayak or canoe, but the cabins are on lakefront property and you can just jump in!  

    The cabins are clean and quiet.  They have a full kitchen, bathroom, and ours slept two in a double bed, but there is room in the living area for cots or sleeping on the couch if you wanted.  The couches are huge, and the cabins have cable.  WiFi is also available, though it is slow.

    The campsites are also nice.  We drove through the area, scouting out where we want to tent camp in the future.

    Trace State Park Campground

    Nice, quiet, HUGE LAKE!

    Camping between Christmas & New Years 2021, so not busy at all. The weather is in the upper 60’s a little chilly at times and still humid.

    We are in the Deer Run camp area. It and Eagle Ridge areas are more rustic and shady than the Warrior Trails area (the Equestrian area). There are less trees and all the sites are concrete including the picnic table area for each site.

    The roads need more paving, lots of pot holes but passable. There is no store close by but there are hiking and biking trails which are nice. I’ve put 15 miles on my bike (2 days).

    Serenity RV Park

    Newer RV Park

    We heard about this new RV park through a blog email and decided to check it out. Following our GPS from I-22, we had no trouble finding the campground (CG).  We arrived at 3:00 PM to find the office closed, with a sign on the door indicating they would return at 3:30. Although we had prepaid for our reservation, we had not been assigned a site number. We called the contact number and left a message. A few minutes later, we received a call back with our site number and were informed that we could proceed to site 26 and check in once the staff member returned from lunch. Site 26 with FHUs is 1 of 6 pull through cement sites in the CG. The 4 back-in sites are cement pads. The pad was spacious, providing ample room for our 40’ fifth wheel and F-450 truck. There are two sewer connections on both cement and gravel sites, which is a nice convenience. Water and electric hookups are centrally located on the pad, though the electric connection sits low to the ground, requiring us to bend the surge protector to plug in. The water pressure was adequate at around 40 psi. The CG Wi-Fi worked well for basic tasks such as email and web browsing, including Facebook, though we did not attempt to stream. Facilities include a clean shower and restroom area, as well as a laundry room equipped with four washers and four dryers, each costing$3 per use. During our visit, the small dog run was unavailable due to maintenance or AstroTurf installation. A small playground is located adjacent to it. Most of the sites are pull-through, with a few back-in sites near the cabins. There is highway and train noise, but not too bad. The office carries a selection of snacks, drinks, and some RV essentials. Overall, the CG is a few miles west of Tupelo, with limited attractions nearby. While it offers good amenities and a convenient layout, the remote location may not appeal to those looking for nearby entertainment or dining options. This CG worked well for our overnighter.

    Trace State Park Campground

    Where’s the lake ?

    Ranger review: RoM Outdoors RoM Pack at Trace State Park, Tupelo, Mississippi 

    Campground Review: I took the scenic Natchez Trace Parkway from Tennessee down into Mississippi and exited near Tupelo to continue into Trace State Park for a camping event I was attending over the weekend. Once you get into Tupelo the signage directing you to the park is easy to find and follow. 

    The park itself needs some work. Recent cuts from the state have left the park in need of road work and the levy repair is taking a while to complete according to locals. Where we camped the lake was dry and full of weeds. You could tell by the shoreline that it would be possible to anchor your water craft very near your campsite in several locations once it is refilled with water. 

    That being said the staff at the park were very helpful and the facilities, which included a showerhouse/multipurpose room and screened porch were very well taken care of. I definitely liked the large shower stalls!

    The sites are spacious, including a fire area, picnic table, electric hookup, water and sewer hook up. The spacing between sites is good too, you have some privacy and depending on your site sparse to full shade.

    Disc golf, multi-use trails, fishing, currently limited water sports.

    After set up our group met in the multipurpose room and then congregated to a nearby site that had more then enough room for all of us to sit around the fire. 

    Tupelo, Mississippi is nearby and I visited Elvis’s birthplace , “Scarlet’s Donuts”(maple bacon donuts, and tamales) and an excellent BBQ place “Clays House of Pig”. So if you like to sneak to town while camping this is a nice area for it. There are thrift and antique stores close too.

    Product Review: As a Dyrt Ranger I recently received a **RoM Outdoors ** RoM Pack https://romoutdoors.com/ to use , abuse and review while camping. I explored one of the three main trails in Trace SP. The trails are multi-use (ie. ATV, Horse, Dirt bike, Hikers) so pay attention to the signs and be aware of the area. We hiked 4.5 miles. The first thing you will notice about the RoM****Pack is that it has some weight to it (4.6 lbs)even empty. This is due to the outer water resistant material and the inner, soft, insulated material. There are two detachable bags, and a smaller inner pack to carry them in when you remove them to transform your pack into......a hooded poncho or ground cover , cool idea!

    So obviously this is not an overnight type backpack or something a fast packer would use. It is however a versatile option for day hikes, visits to the park or sporting events and I used it to pack my Dachshund when he was done hiking ;)

    I haven’t attempted to attach a hydration bladder and decided to just place my entire hydration pack into the main area of the RoM Pack. This works in two ways. First if I don’t need the poncho/blanket I have my hydration in easy reach. Second if I do use the poncho/blanket my hydration pack fits fine under the inner pack on my back with poncho over that. 

    Definitely practice folding and unfolding the poncho/blanket . I had my usual dysfunction , just like with the hiking maps, I got it unfolded and user ready but then had issues putting it back into its original folded configuration. I eventually got it back together. There is a video on their site to make it easier. Just remember it will get faster with muscle memory over time.

    Once again this is not a pack I would use for extended deep woods adventures. It’s great for your day hikes with the kids, concert in the park or hike into a picnic spot, would work for hunting too.

    Pro’s: All in one (ie, carry pack, two secure bags, blanket/poncho, inner pack, Molle straps to add other accessories)

    Water resistant outer shell

    Soft warm inner lining

    _Durable material _

    Well made

    Con’s: Heavy

    Limited packing space( the large middle pocket is gone when you unfold it_)_

    _Not for overnight/deep woods(_technically not a con, not the concept of the bag)

    This will be my go to bag when adventuring with my grandkids. I would/will suggest this pack to friends with specific uses in mind. There are currently three color options and several other products to explore on the ROM Outdoors site

    Tombigbee State Park Campground

    Did not stay loop seems small and close to each other

    We took a drive through to scope out at a potential stay over as we progress thru MS. Park looked lovely and peaceful, but the sites on the loop seemed to afford no privacy. On way in we drove past some cabins and a few RV sites that looked more secluded. Appeared to be great play ground for young ones, and the water looked great for kayaking/ fishing.

    Road in was quite winding and narrow, so we will not be adding to our list of potential parks

Guide to Belden

Camping cabins near Belden, Mississippi offer convenient access to lakes, forests and hiking trails across northeastern Mississippi. The region sits approximately 400 feet above sea level and experiences hot, humid summers with mild winters. Most cabin rentals remain open year-round with peak season running April through October when temperatures typically range from 75-95°F.

What to do

Fishing opportunities: At Trace State Park Campground, visitors enjoy direct lake access for fishing. "Our site backed up to the lake and was beautiful! Lots of activities and has a marina. Fishing was great," notes camper Maureen L. Several docks and piers provide easy water access.

Trail exploration: Multiple parks offer hiking and walking paths through wooded areas. "Clean campsites and bathrooms. Nice hiking trails," explains William M. about his experience at Trace State Park. The paths range from easy quarter-mile loops to more challenging multi-mile routes.

Disc golf courses: Tombigbee State Park Campground features a popular disc golf course winding through wooded areas. "We hiked all the trails and they were well manicured and followed a frisbee golf course," shares Allison N., highlighting this unique recreational option available to cabin guests.

What campers like

Lake views: Waterfront cabin sites provide scenic views and easy water access. "We were in site 4 on the lake. Beautiful view! Grounds could use some updating but we really enjoyed our stay here," reports Scott B. about his experience at Trace State Park.

Quiet atmosphere: Howard Stafford Park Campground receives high marks for its peaceful setting. "Small campground attached to a public use park. Gated after dark with older but usable bathrooms and showers. Has a splash pad, a basketball court, and several piers on the lake for fishing. You can hear cows in the distance from across the lake," explains Simon C.

Spacious sites: Many cabin rental areas provide adequate spacing between units. "The sites are far enough apart to not feel on top of your neighbor," mentions Brandon R. about Wall Doxey State Park Campground. This park features traditional log cabin structures with concrete pads for vehicles.

What you should know

Road conditions: Several parks report challenges with internal roads. "Trace state park is very nice and relaxing. From fishing, kayaking to camping. The roads in the park are terrible! That's the one downside to the park," writes Amanda F. Similar comments appear for other parks in the region.

Reservation requirements: Advance bookings are essential during peak seasons. "Following our GPS from I-22, we had no trouble finding the campground. We arrived at 3:00 PM to find the office closed, with a sign on the door indicating they would return at 3:30. Although we had prepaid for our reservation, we had not been assigned a site number," explains one camper at Serenity RV Park.

Cell service limitations: Mobile reception varies significantly between cabin locations. "Small park hard surface sites well maintained," notes Robert H. about Tombigbee State Park, while another camper at Trace State Park mentions "sketchy cell service" as one drawback of their stay.

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: Parks with family-friendly amenities offer additional entertainment options. "The park is a few miles west of Tupelo, with limited attractions nearby. While it offers good amenities and a convenient layout, the remote location may not appeal to those looking for nearby entertainment or dining options," notes a camper about Serenity RV Park's playground facilities.

Halloween events: Seasonal activities provide special experiences for families with children. "We had no idea it was such a big deal. But we drove down and visited and hung around for the festivities and boy was it worth it. Every camp site had wonderful decorations and the kids had such a blast," shares Fred S. about Wall Doxey State Park's Halloween celebration.

Easy biking opportunities: Cabin areas with flat terrain work well for younger riders. "Great for young kids because the campground is small with a flat loop that is easy for bike riding, skating, or scooters. It is easy to see the kids from your campsite and not worry about them getting lost," explains a visitor about Tombigbee State Park's layout.

Tips from RVers

Site selection considerations: Choosing the right cabin location affects your experience. "The inside loop spots are mostly close together with very little privacy," notes one camper about Tombigbee State Park. Selecting exterior sites often provides more space and privacy.

Supply access: Most cabin areas have nearby stores for essentials. "The park is near Tupelo, MS and there is a Dollar General right at the entrance to the park," mentions Ryan S. about Elliot Branch, noting convenient shopping options within short driving distance of the cabins.

Water and electric hookups: Cabins offer varying levels of utility access. "The site is a level concrete pad with 50/30 amp, water and sewer. The campground is next to a big county park with a playground, boat ramp and fishing docks," describes Stacey about Howard Stafford Park's amenities, highlighting the importance of checking specific utility details before booking.
