Best Campgrounds near Corinth, MS

303 Reviews

Northeast Mississippi's camping landscape around Corinth features a mix of state parks, private RV facilities, and water-adjacent recreation areas. Within a 30-mile radius, campers find options ranging from full-hookup RV sites at Cross City RV Park in Corinth to more natural settings at Tishomingo State Park, known for its unique rock formations and hiking trails. The Tennessee-Mississippi border area provides access to Pickwick Landing State Park in Tennessee, offering cabin rentals alongside traditional campsites. Most campgrounds in this region operate year-round, with waterfront locations particularly popular during summer months.

Reservations are strongly recommended for weekend stays, especially at state parks where waterfront sites fill quickly. Most campgrounds feature paved or gravel pads with varying degrees of levelness, which can impact larger RVs. As one camper noted at Cross City RV Park, "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." Cell service varies throughout the region, with Verizon generally providing reliable coverage. Summer humidity and insects can be challenging, particularly at more rustic sites, while spring and fall offer more comfortable camping conditions with moderate temperatures.

Waterfront access represents a significant draw for many campgrounds in the area. Visitors to Whitten Park frequently mention the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway views, with one camper describing "level concrete pull-thru big enough for our 40' rig and Jeep, adorable picnic and firepit area overlooking the waterway peeking through the beautiful trees." Tishomingo State Park receives consistent praise for its unique landscape, described by one visitor as "like no other you'll find in MS" with "various rock formations, trails and creeks." Site spacing varies considerably between campgrounds, with some state park locations offering more privacy than others. Bathhouse quality and maintenance standards differ widely across facilities, with newer private campgrounds typically providing more updated amenities than some of the older state park facilities.

    Bruton Branch Recreation Area Campground — Pickwick Landing State Park

    Bruton Branch Recreation Area

    The scenery is beautiful. Plenty of fish activity with multiple campsites on the water with a steady breeze. No Potable Water sites. Bathrooms do get cleaned in the morning. Using Verizon and AT&T, service is great averaging between 3-4 bars. Spoke with some of the Rangers. Renovation plans are in place coming January 2026 to make this campground gated with PIN access for paying campers and will be adding RV parking. There is currently an issue with individuals driving to the campsites throughout the day and night utilizing the park’s amenities without paying. First night at least 5 vehicles drove in and took control of the bathrooms/showers for hours throughout the night. One came out and started, what sounded like, a chainsaw. My belief was to intimidate us given we were the only paying campers and we looked at their direction due to the noise they were making. Constant yelling and argumentative behavior among the individuals. It takes the Rangers 20-30 minutes to arrive if called so you have to ride out the uninvited guests and hope they leave you be. The Rangers themselves, are very polite and they were honest about the issue. However with how much ground they have to cover with limited staff and resources they can’t control the situation until the renovations begin. My advice, if you want to avoid potential conflict and harassment wait till the park renovates.

    Mulberry Creek Camp

    Peaceful Tranquility

    I stayed 2 weeks in June and came back on the first of July. I felt blessed to be able to stay, until July 7th. I love Mulberry Creek Camp! Misty and Jason provide the cleanest, neatest and friendliest campground site, that I have ever stayed at! I plan to come back in September! It is so peaceful and tranquil. Turning down Mulberry Creek Camp road makes my endorphins rise and the relaxation begins immediately. Have I even mentioned, the spectacular Fireworks Display, Mulberry Creek Camp provided? It was so awesome that not just their 2 Campgrounds were entertained, but also the surrounding small towns. Thank you Misty and Jason, for providing entertainment for all, your hard work does not go unnoticed! See you in September!

    Chewalla Lake Recreation Area

    A great place to do nothing.

    The shaded footpaths make walking the trails on a hot day still enjoyable. Quiet, low humidity, and plenty of camp sites to choose from make this location a great place to unplug and relax.

    Hidden Oasis at White Oak Landing RV Campground

    Bookable on The Dyrt!

    Saraj from The Dyrt here. Hidden Oasis at White Oak Landing really lives up to its name. This peaceful RV park sits right on the Tennessee River, so it feels quiet and private in all the best ways. If you're looking for a relaxed, scenic place to unwind, this one’s worth the stop!

    Tishomingo State Park Campground

    4.5 stars

    The new section - sites 38-62- is amazing! Just perfect. Beautiful large sites with lake views and perfectly paved and landscaped. The rest of the campground needs the same treatment asap and is in rough shape. A very quiet place. The swinging bridge and trail is very cool! The river is fantastic. The only disappointment for us was the lack of swimming opportunities. The pool has long been out of service and swimming isn't allowed in the lake. The river probably has some swimming holes but was flooded and brown when we were there. The people working there are very kind.

    Corinth RV Park

    Muddy uneven mess

    water spickets are buried in a hole and when it rains the hole fills up with mud. Spots seem to be first come first serve even if you reserve one. Camp host is never here and the Ross to the back lot or the top spots is a nightmare. Road sucks!

    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.
