I had a horrible experience at this campsite. Rolled up to find one (miserable) couple there. They were blasting music out of their car which is whatever and I waved hello and they just stared. Multiple cars came thru the campsite at night, shining their headlights every which way. Even though it says don’t enter past a certain point unless you are camping, this is clearly a spot for locals to do what they cannot do at home. At 2am I hear barking and one of my dogs busts through my tent. I go out there and there is a pack of wild dogs scouring the campsite. They weren’t terrifying or coming at us, but it was still scary. No more than 10 mins later two cars surround my tent with headlights, which is really scary for anyone, but I am a young woman traveling alone. Apparently the couple called the cops saying my dogs had been barking all night. There was brief barking and it was the wild dogs who were actually eating the trash the evil couple left out. Even if my dogs were barking, why is surrounding my tent with only headlights at 2am appropriate? I couldn’t see anything. Never saw a ranger, immediately left in the morning. Sorry for the essay, just hope to spare someone a similar experience. It is beautiful tho.

The lake is currently drained because they are working on the dam. Made reservations online. Pretty much all the sites I thought would be easy to get into were reserved, so I chose this one. Website said it was good for 53' unit and 2 vehicles. We have a 36' 5th wheel and it was a little difficult to get in. Someone previously knocked down the site number post. I also had a problem with the post for site 31 being in the way. I finally just backed in by driving on the grass. It only fits the 2 vehicles if each one has 2 tires in the grass. It turns out that all of those reserved sites online were empty. There is hardly anyone here. It would have been nice to have one of those angled for better entry. Other than the empty lake and difficult backing in it is a nice park. Standard COE fare.
GuideThis place was absolutely gorgeous. I was alone in the campground both nights i was there with a couple of people coming in during the day to have lunch at one of the picnic tables.
I might have worked on my tanlines 🤫
I fit pretty good in my 24' motorhome but woupd be leery of something too much bigger.
Do not try to come at night. It is pitch black and steep drop offs.
Really nice set up for tents if thwt is your thing.

Arrived at the park a little after 11pm and the gate was locked with a sign saying “Closed 10pm-6am.” On the website it said “first come first serve.” Very disappointing, ended up driving another 30 min and booking a hotel.

Teckville was a good place to stay. And it could still be. Nice Boat ramps Bathroom. But a person can not get no one to answer the phones in Mississippi

This might be one of my favorite places to camp on Enid lake. It is a favorite for many locals and more off the beaten track. Has showers bathrooms playground boat ramp and beach for the campers and picnickers that come to the lake. RV spots with or without full hookup. Reservations available online
Traveler
This is a very popular camping area with very good fishing it is fairly well maintained with showers and bathrooms hookups for RVs tents etc mostly quiet and reservations can be made online. Close by many other camping areas on Enid lake, a general store, the hatchery, floating dock, fishing Pier on the channel, playgrounds, Beach, basketball, and corps of engineer field office.
Traveler
They have large flat sites. Some with full hookup some just P/W. Reserve on line. We were there in Feb not busy at all. COE was responsive to bathroom cleaning issue. Host was very friendly. Camp ground is very clean but went for a hike along the shore and the trash was off the chart!!!
ScoutThe campground hosts are excellent in this campground. It is well maintained and has many choices of sites from woodland to lake side.

We have stayed here many times on our way south in January and found it great Recently they installed sewer for full hookup in all sites This year we ended up staying for 6 weeks in the area on ACE campgrounds and 14 days here and we liked this best .
RangerThis seems a very typical NFS campground. Lots of spots some with electric and water and a number which are primitive. It is rustic. The electric service has an open ground situation so my camper wouldn't take it which was fine but a lot of the year could be an issue. There are bathrooms and private showers. I did not need or use the facilities but they were clean and seemed functional. I am literally the only camper here which frankly I think is wonderful. Tons of places to walk and a lot of nice views of the lake. I will definitely be back and use it for an overnight on my way out or back to my winter location.
GuideStopover in January. Left one day early because of imminent weather on our route home. Otherwise would have stayed longer. Beautiful trees, lake, and drive. Enid Lake is big with lots of walkable shoreline. Bathhouse extra large and clean. It even smelled good if you can believe that. Large sites with elbow room. Our site 27 had great views with full Hookups. Site 30 would be optimal site with view and pull through.
TravelerGreat large sites. Everything is clean and well kept. Many sites on the water and pull through.
Traveler
Campsite was great. Beautiful lake and not crowded. Night time was quiet. Really enjoyed the views and relaxing environment. This is a great location to disconnect, but do not expect the amenities other sites offer (bathrooms, electricity, water, etc.).
Traveler
Last minute stop at this small muni campground/park. Clean grounds with friendly host. Photo from our site #7 overlooking the lake. Non campers kicked out at 8pm and gates are locked. All campers get a key for after hours entry/exit. Beautiful little spot.
Traveler
Well maintained sites, BEAUTIFUL view of Sardis Lake just across the tree line
TravelerSmall 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.
Can’t beat the price at $22/night. We stopped in for a night in our teardrop trailer on our way farther up north.
Tupelo is 30 minutes away with the Elvis Birthplace museum and other attractions. There’s a gas station at the entrance to the park for snacks and ice.
Traveler
We reserved campsites 13 and 14, at the far end, behind the restrooms. You have to park in the parking lot and carry your stuff to the site. But it’s a tent-only campground and there were only a couple other tents there so it was quiet and peaceful. Our lots were large.
There was plenty of firewood to be collected on site.
There’s a boat launch but it didn’t add significant traffic or noise.
The bathrooms were…campsite bathrooms. Not the best, not the worst. No locked on stall doors. No soap. But the toilets flushed so there’s that.
Very pretty view of Sardis Lake.
The negatives: The flies!! They were so so bad! And bighty!! My poor dogs were covered in flies, as were we.
Other negative is just about a previous camper. At our site, we picked up literally a case’s worth of Coors beer bottle caps. Evidently they didn’t throw away a single one, even though garbage is provided and literally just right there.
ScoutQuiet, peaceful and cheap. No shower or bathroom facilities. Water has plenty of pressure, and runs clear after a few seconds. Surprisingly nice weather and no mosquitoes or gnats. Free firewood, and portajons on-site
RangerA great little spot with water and electric , pull through and some back in sites . It was very warm but we knew that , would go back in different seasons , easy place to walk to to fish and or swim opposite of the boat ramp . Quiet hardly any through traffic , good Verizon service with our booster . Clean bathrooms and showers .
TravelerHardly any other people around. Very run down and lots of bugs. Stopped over here for a quick camp spot on a road trip, and it was fine for this. Wouldn’t go out of the way to come back
Traveler
Beautiful clean and safe for families or solo campers. Many water view spots and full hookups throughout the campground
Traveler
This is a fisherman's camp. The campground is only half available. Most bathrooms are closed due to a storm 4 years ago. Not well maintained and no one around to help with registration. I guess if you like to fish it would be ok.
TravelerStayed for a night. About 10 mins to town, try High on the Hog bbq. Bathrooms clean w running water. No showers. Good beach in the summer.
Scout
It’s a pleasant spot not many people, but we were there on a day. It was rainy, and the whole place flooded. Been there. A few times its a decent place when it’s dry but I would not want to be there when it rains.
TravelerThe view and proximity to the water is truly what makes this spot. All sites are tent sites so you have to be parked in the parking lot but we were the only ones there in early January so was easy to park as close as possible to a spot. There are restrooms at the entrance, all sites have a table, trash can and grill. We went in the off season so it was free!
LegendWe arrived just before sunset in late November (dang Daylight Savings time) so quickly got to our site and set up. Did not see anyone to check in but had reservations as now are required at all CoE campgrounds (a ranger drove through the next morning). The water level looked to be very low, but we still had a nice view at the end of the loop.
Sites are FHU and other amenities include a large concrete picnic table, lantern hook, fire pit, BBQ grill, and food prep table. Sites are paved, generous in size, and spaced a very decent distance apart from each other; even though all the leaves had fallen and there were other campers in our loop, I did not feel a lack of privacy.
The restrooms were clean and although there were paper towels, the soap dispensers were empty (my only beef with this campground)! The showers looked to be reasonable, but it was below freezing the next morning, so I didn’t try them out. There was also what appeared to be a utility sink in the bathroom but no shelves or other place to stage dishes.
I can only assume that water sports are in-season and not sure about other recreational activities. Because the ground was frozen the next morning, I was able to walk down to the water and get some great photos of the sunrise and birds.
This was just an overnight stay for us but for $12 (with the Golden Access Pass), it is a real bargain and the reason we often seek out Army Corps of Engineers campgrounds.
