Cabin accommodations near Coldwater, Mississippi offer proximity to Enid Lake and the Holly Springs National Forest, both within a 30-minute drive. Located in northern Mississippi, this region features gently rolling hills with elevations ranging from 300-500 feet. Seasonal temperatures fluctuate significantly, with summer highs reaching the 90s and winter nights often dropping below freezing, affecting cabin selection considerations.
What to do
Fishing at Enid Lake: George P. Cossar State Park provides cabin visitors access to Enid Lake's fishing opportunities. "Lakeside sites would allow for boat pull-up within view," notes Sandra V., who visited the George P. Cossar State Park Campground.
Disc golf courses: Several cabin rental locations maintain disc golf courses for guests. "The disc golf course has gotten better over time. The course is now marked very well," according to Steve G., who regularly visits George P. Cossar State Park.
Riverside viewing: Tom Sawyer's RV Park offers cabins with Mississippi River views. "Tugboats pushed barges against the current at a slower than walking pace. Trees with root balls intact floated downstream," describes Greg S. at Tom Sawyer's RV Park, capturing the unique riverside experience.
Mini-golf access: Some cabin locations include family-friendly mini-golf. "Yokona ridge has a great playground for kids with the putt-putt golf course a short walk away. 4$+tax per person to play," writes Suzi T. about her George P. Cossar State Park experience.
What campers like
River views: Cabins at riverfront locations provide ever-changing scenery. "We loved waking up every morning to the sunrise over the Mississippi River, watching the barges and running around in the big grassy areas!" shares Pat&Amanda D. about their stay at Tom Sawyer's RV Park.
Entertainment shuttles: Some cabin locations near Memphis offer unique transportation options. "The highlight of our stay here was the opportunity to take a free pink Cadillac limo ride to Marlowe's for superb BBQ. Our children loved this opportunity," explains Jeremy H. who stayed at Graceland RV Park & Campground.
Wooded privacy: Wall Doxey State Park cabins provide forest seclusion. "Really nice wooded sites. Water and Electric on site. Wifi-Tmobile worked fine whole trip. Not a lot of campers while I was here. Quiet and Peaceful," notes Christine S. about her Wall Doxey State Park Campground experience.
Pool access: Some cabin rentals include swimming pool privileges. "We got access to the indoor pool in the hotel," mentions Richard S. who stayed at Hollywood Casino RV Park, highlighting an amenity not standard with all cabin rentals.
What you should know
Site location importance: The specific cabin location affects the overall experience. "We were fortunate to get a very shaded site that was very private. It is a nice park to bike around as the scenery is spectacular!" reports Sara S. from Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park.
Seasonal considerations: Cabin rentals near Coldwater have distinct seasonal challenges. "If you are camping here anytime during the warmer months, be ready to pick ticks off of everyone!" warns Brandon R. about Wall Doxey State Park, highlighting a common summer concern.
Variable bathroom conditions: Cabin guests should verify bathroom facilities before booking. "The bathrooms are old, but clean. I'm leery of old bathrooms, but I can make this one work," explains Shana D. about Wall Doxey State Park, reflecting the variable conditions across locations.
Connectivity limitations: Cell service varies significantly between cabin locations. "We had 0 service anywhere near our campsite. Nice to disconnect for a night, but plan accordingly," advises Ellie B. from Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park.
Tips for camping with families
Activity scheduling: Determine operating schedules for family activities before booking. "We were too early in the season for the blow-up slides but we definitely plan on coming back to enjoy those," shares Amy L. about Sun Retreats Horn Lake, formerly Jellystone Park.
Playground options: Consider cabin locations with multiple playground choices. "There is an update playground" at Meeman-Shelby State Park according to Ryan S., who adds that "a variety of hiking/biking trails" are also available for families.
Seasonal events: Some cabin locations host special seasonal events. "We were invited to the Halloween get together at the park. And we had no idea it was such a big deal," shares Fred S. about Wall Doxey State Park, continuing "Every camp site had wonderful decorations and the kids had such a blast."
Noise considerations: Highway proximity affects cabin stay quality. "Pictures don't show the busy highway RIGHT NEXT to the campsites. Very loud traffic noise all day and night," warns Stacy W. about Sun Retreats Horn Lake, highlighting the importance of researching cabin locations before booking with children.
Tips from RVers
Extended stays: Some cabin and RV locations accommodate longer-term arrangements. "We were long term at this campground for 7 months. The staff was outstanding, the park was clean and well-kept, and the monthly rates were reasonable," shares Yondering R. who stayed at Memphis KOA from December to July.
Laundry availability: Cabins with on-site laundry facilities enhance longer stays. "Free laundry facilities were very clean and nice with several machines," notes Kristy J. about Tom Sawyer's RV Park, an amenity that benefits both cabin and RV guests.
Campsite spacing: Cabin locations with adequate separation enhance privacy. "Sites are far enough apart to not feel on top of your neighbor," writes Brandon R. about Wall Doxey State Park, a consideration equally important for cabin rentals.
Urban proximity: Some cabin locations balance nature with city access. "This is a great choice for short stays, particularly for those with RVs, looking to enjoy scenic riverfront views and the charm of tugboat traffic," explains Jordan B. about Tom Sawyer's RV Park, noting its position near Memphis.
