      Roosevelt State Park Campground

      I loved how shaded and spread out the sites were. We weren't near the water but we had views of it and it was nice. We walked a few trails, nothing to see on them at all, so I guess if youre just wanting a walk in nature, they're fine. Trail map from the office sucks, it's confusing and misleading. Thought one trail was a 1.7 mile loop, it was not a loop, and we got lost.. and, at the office they have a small store. Website makes it seem like more than one bathhouse has laundry facilities, we didnt find that to be true. The laundry bathhouse was 2 miles away on another campground. The bathrooms and showers were not great but not awful, dusty dirty, not bathroom dirty and the showers were outdated and not working properly. All of that was surprising and disappointing bc of how much it cost to stay here. We came in the off season so it was actually affordable. This place is normally like $47 a night but in the off season there's an online code for half off.

      Clarkco State Park Campground

      Newly remodeled with perfect concrete pads, new power poles and water spigots. Lots of trails & recreation. Not too busy mid-week November but I bet it's busy in the summer! Great bathrooms and a few washer/dryers. Would absolutely stay here again!

      Clarkco State Park Campground

      I was a bit disappointed they have revamped or as they say improved the campgrounds. However, my campsite was in a hot, blazing sun, no trees, no shade nothing. I didn’t feel like I was camping in the woods. I really felt more like it was just a big concrete parking lot. I understand that this is happening across Mississippi and I hate it. I don’t mind trees being trimmed and cut so big Riggs can get in there. I don’t mind that at all, but just don’t get rid of everything. I have a tent that I use and I had nowhere I could put it up.the lake is a beautiful, beautiful lake and it used to have pretty pretty trees.! I did cut my trip short by one day/ night. It was just miserable and I didn’t enjoy it.

      Sleepy Hollow RV Park

      Great place

      Clean and cozy campground. Lots of trees. Cement and gravel sites available. Laundry, restrooms, pool, dog park, and a pond that you can fish in.

      Marathon Lake Campground

      Rundown but quiet

      I’ve camped here a few times and there’s rarely more than five sites occupied. It’s very peaceful. Swimming area. Too many trees for good Starlink.

      Twiltley Branch

      Great site

      Overall the campsite is super clean, all the hookups work and I've enjoyed my time. The spot I got was right on the water! Only thing I would say is that the water for the rv hookup has a slight chemical smell to it

      Yogi on the Lake - Jellystone Pelahatchie

      Great for the kids

      Would try to get one by the lake or up by the office. The campsite we had was not level & hard to get camper level. Could not put a tent up due to being on a hill. Would go back.

      Shockaloe Base Camp I Camping

      Secluded and pretty, but slightly noisy!

      Stopped here for one night and it was lovely. No need to pay the 7$, since you probably won’t see anybody here. The toilets were locked and no water, so bring everything you need. Had a great night’s sleep except for the super loud train that runs past once or twice in the night. Worth it for a great free spot!

      Meridian East-Toomsuba KOA

      Peaceful

      Nice location in the woods. Down side is occasional traffic on country road that is right along the pull thru sites and some kind of salvage yard down the street. Almost don’t notice the noise from either during the day and no noise late afternoon, evening. Camp host is super nice and everything is clean and working.
