Best Cabin Camping near Carthage, MS

Roosevelt State Park Campground and Turkey Creek Water Park offer cabin accommodations within a short drive of Carthage, Mississippi. Cabins at Roosevelt State Park provide lake views with basic amenities including electricity, running water, and climate control. "The cabins available, but they didn't appear to be in the best of condition," noted one visitor, though they appreciated the beautiful grounds and spacious sites. Movietown RV Park in Canton provides rental cabins with more modern amenities, including full bathrooms and kitchenettes, making them suitable for longer stays.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Yogi on the Lake - Jellystone Pelahatchie offers family-friendly cabin rentals with access to recreational amenities like a water park, splash pad, and fishing lake. A recent review highlighted that "we stayed on the lakes edge, had visits from geese, ducks, rabbits and squirrels. Beautiful and very clean area." Most cabins require advance reservations, especially during summer months when waterfront activities are popular. Pet policies vary by location, with some parks like Roosevelt State Park allowing pets while others restrict them.

Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities range from basic microwaves to full kitchenettes depending on the cabin type and location. Bienville National Forest Marathon Lake offers more secluded cabin options but operates seasonally from March through mid-December. Timberlake Campground provides convenient access to supplies with a Kroger grocery store located directly across from the entrance. One camper shared that the campground is "convenient to lots of things but tucked away as a quiet getaway," making it practical for families needing to restock during longer cabin stays.

    Movietown RV Park

    Nice size TV park w cabins

    Thanks dyrt for pointing us here. For 30$ a night u get a level gravel drive thru spot electric, sewer, water, and wifi,laundry facilities and bath house very very clean. Very quiet all thru the day and night. Friendly people all round. 5 min to walmart, tractor supply, and many restaurants and gas stations. Spacious lots so you arent right up on each other. Theres rental lots and cabins by the night, week and month. Theres saved spaces for those who just want a pulling over night. Theres big rigs here and small ones. Vintage and brand new. These are friendly people you can sit a chair or 2 outside and not have someone pounding on your door at 7am yelling about a toy or a chair left out all night. This is our face in canton so far. Lovely place with country atmosphere. Pet friendly and spacious. All u need is right here. Thank you ms. Kay and staff.

    Roosevelt State Park Campground

    Excellent state park!

    We loved our stay. Beautiful park, nice campsites, heated and clean bathroom, best spots are on the lake. We stayed in spot 15 and it was beautiful.

    A couple reasons I didn’t give it 5 stars, even though we loved it. First, we reserved a spot weeks prior and someone was in it when we arrived around 5pm. The park was very helpful and accommodating once we found the right phone number. I wish they would put signs on the reserved spots to avoid the hassle.

    Second, they do not sell firewood here anymore, but there is a gas station across the street that does.

    Also, the fire ring and the table/grill are on opposite sides on the parking spaces and there are no cooking grates on the fire ring unfortunately. But the grill was very clean!

    But seriously, would recommend!!! Just want to help our fellow campers out with some details of the digs!

    Roosevelt State Park Campground

    This is what a State Park should look like!

    Smooth paved roads, level concrete pads, picnic tables that will seat 8, fire ring and grill at each site.. This park has been completely remodeled and they did a fantastic job. Pull thru's and back in's available.

    We stopped on our return trip home for one night, so we did not check out the bathhouse/showers.

    Okatibbee Lake Waterpark

    RV park

    RV campgrounds on Lake Okatibbee in Lauderdale County, MS. The pads are asphalt and have electric, water, and sewer connections. They also have picnic table in good shape and a steel picnic grill. This is not a fancy park, but it is decent. It has a bath house- restroom and showers. It also has washer and dryers. The bath house is in pretty good shape- they keep it fairly clean. The staff is very nice. Most of the pads are in the woods with a few pads overlooking the water- none are on the water. We tent camp, but there are no primitive sites here. There are a few cabins that are closer to the water. This is a place we will come back and stay.

    Roosevelt State Park Campground

    Many available activities

    After nixing two flooded campgrounds, we arrived here at 5:30 pm on a Saturday in late February hoping there would be an available spot; we were lucky that just a handful were left (out of 109) as there was a bluegrass festival going on! 

    The campground is divided into an “old” section and a “new” one. Arriving after hours directs you to the office and the old section, however, the office was closed when we arrived. We flagged down a ranger, who directed us to the first available spot and told us to pay the next morning. The rate of $16 (senior rate) was very reasonable for an electric hook-up, although there was nothing special about the spot. Premium lakefront sites go for $28 (no senior discounts given) and these were nicer. Not all the sites are level but they are generous in size. Laundry is available in both campgrounds.

    We drove to the new section the next morning (which is several miles away around the other side of Shadow Lake). Aside from the lakefront sites having closer access to the lake, we could see no appreciable difference between the old and new sections. There is a reasonable separation between the sites, with some trees. The picnic tables in both sections appeared to be very weathered. The restrooms/showers were ok – the soap dispenser was empty, and some very disrespectful campers made one of the two toilets unusable (not the fault of the campground).

    There are also cabins and a motel, plus a group campsite, but we did not check these out. Activities (again, we did not avail ourselves of any of them) include a sports field, water slide and pool, disc golf, boating (there is a boat launch), and a performing arts center.

    Made the best of it

    I booked a site that we did not know anything about. This was the first time we stayed in the newer loop. We had tent camped in the older section about 5 year’s ago and had a wonderful time. When we arrived on Thursday evening to our site I didn’t know if it was going to be wide enough to let the steps down without fall into the 6 ft ditch. After some measuring of the slide outs and maneuvering over 6 inches from the electrical pole. We set up camp. I had to dig up the sewer tap that was running up hill. We made the best of it by setting everything up in front of the camper. The picnic table and fire pit was on the opposite side of the camper up hill with about 8 inches of pine needles going up. Not practical. So we didn’t use that area. Most of the sites were the same way with the picnic area on the opposite side of camper. The lake area was nice, did some fishing out of the canoe and kayaking when there wasn’t 30 boats out. Lake was closed for swimming. Overall we made the best of it. We will definitely not be staying at site 45 again. Staff was friendly and there were park rangers riding by all the time. There are definitely better sites, not all.

    Roosevelt State Park Campground

    Beautiful state park

    Nice lake surrounded by mature trees. Family friendly campground with many things to do. The camp area has a small beach and swimming area in the lake. Across the lake there is a swimming pool and a water slide. There is a separate fee to use the pool and water slide. The campsites are shaded and have a paved area to park your camper. Each site has a nice picnic table. Some of the sites do not have a lot of level space in front so the picnic table may be located on the back side of the site.
