Guide
The campsite was nice. It was divided, the fire pit and the table was up a small hill behind the camper.
The bathrooms were clean and showers were great. The toilets at least in the women’s bathroom the hinges are on the wrong side so the doors do not open wide.
The area is nice. We weren’t able to check out the trails due to an injury I received the week before but the area is so nice.
There were three animals on display ate the animal rehab and owl, Henry (red-tail hawk) and Scarlet (unsure what she was)
A nice place to relax and recharge.
Scout
We loved the park. Great for walking our dogs. The only issue was the poor road maintenance in getting to our campsite. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay tremendously and will definitely recommend to friends and family.
RangerWe were in site 4 on the lake. Beautiful view! Grounds could use some updating but we really enjoyed our stay here.
Guide
This is a very peaceful stop with 30 amp power and water available. Well kept and very nice host. John communicated with us perfectly. The land and lake are beautiful.
GuideBeautiful place to camp and relax. Clean campsites and bathrooms. Nice hiking trails.
Ranger
This is one of our go to areas , no power at sites , water only , decently clean bath house . Lake access and hiking everywhere . Park rangers are quite nice here . We had a scout troop staying in the campground which I found odd as there are three specific scout areas . Beautiful fall colors
GuideThis was our first trip with our RV. The campground was well maintained with level parking pads. Bath house was clean. Lake was great for kayaking and fishing.
TravelerBeautiful property with great host they have a short trail that goes around the property and a beautiful lake to enjoy
LegendState park campground with full hookups in the woods on the lakeshore. Park is just off the Natchez Trace. Sites are adequately spaced and sorta level and paved. Beautiful sunsets picturesque tree lined lake. Deer Run bath house is showing its age, but Eagle Ridge’s is much newer, and it includes a coin laundry and a party room. Park roads are in serious need of repair
LegendPROS
No transaction fee assessed for making my own online reservation
Site 8 excellent view of lake
Asphalt parking pad
Pedestal BBQ, moveable wooden picnic table and rock campfire pit.
Eagle Ridge campground has 3 washers and 3 dryers $1.50
Heated toilet/shower blding. No AC tho - just a box fan.
1 bar T-MOBILE but we’re able to live stream TV via T-MOBILE hot spot
CONS
No senior discount
Site number is painted in the roadway and due to leaves on road difficult to find Numerous large road potholes from entrance gate to campground. Guess this eliminates any need for speed bumps!
Not dark sky friendly due to 2 street lights, at site 2 and 13, that light up most of the small campground loop
Deer Run campsites very close to each other
Site 8 unlevel side-to-side
Dirt and sand surrounded asphalt parking pad so during rains (for 2 days) it was a big mess
No privacy from any other campsite
Due to campsite water spigot being low to ground, insufficient space to add water filter
Deer Run campground toilet/shower building is not handicap accessible
Trash roll offs outside of camping loop. 15 minute walk one way.
No park WIFI
GuideDo not trust your GPS to get you here. Make sure you have plenty of gas before leaving any town. Study the direction map link on the web site. There are no signs until you get there. Be sure you're going to the right campground. CSP is big and GPS will take you to many places (wrong places) in the park, many trail but useable roads. Once here, enjoy the tranquility and very friendly, helpful people of the area. T Maybe and Verizon work fine. Didn't try the camp wifi. Did not use the bath house. In general, Tennessee State parks do a very good job. Site was not level but paved. Not crowded at all. Large spaceous sites.
GuideChickasaw state park is a wonderful park filled with activities for all. Paddle boating, hiking, geocaching, canoeing and kayaking and also horse back riding.
GuideWe only stayed here one night passing through and we missed out! There’s so many areas with so much to do a weekend wouldn’t be enough! We liked our site right next to park but very nice area all with great sites. No service at RV campground but complementary WI-FI we were able to FaceTime and iMessage.
TravelerCampground pretty full on the weekends. Enjoyed fishing and golfing
GuideI like the improvements and camp hosts are great!
ScoutGreat place to hike too
RangerCamp site (Teardrop camping)
We briefly stayed at this camp site overnight. There is an electric/water hook up on the site + picnic table and a fire ring.
We were there during the off season but there were still lots of people but it still was a pleasant stay. Tells that this CG is popular.

Facilities/ Amenities
Bathroom / showers were clean and well maintained. Dumpster is a bit of a walk.

Surrounding area
The CG is in the woods so you'd definitely feel connected to nature. Haven't explored the surrounding area enough to leave a review.

GuideA nice campground with blacktop sites. Campground is hilly but most sites are fairly flat. Very nice hot showers. They also have tent camping, cabins, and camping with your horse. Small lake within walking distance to the RV campground. Camp store, gym, small amphitheater. Wifi was a free signup for 3 days but was too slow to be useful.
GuideThe Google had the phone number to AL when thinking we called TN. The park deserved a longer st.ay than we had time for...its really pretty. Pay attention to your site location with Hwy 100. It was loud on our site 43 since we backed up to the highway.
GuideCamping between Christmas & New Years 2021, so not busy at all. The weather is in the upper 60’s a little chilly at times and still humid.
We are in the Deer Run camp area. It and Eagle Ridge areas are more rustic and shady than the Warrior Trails area (the Equestrian area). There are less trees and all the sites are concrete including the picnic table area for each site.
The roads need more paving, lots of pot holes but passable. There is no store close by but there are hiking and biking trails which are nice. I’ve put 15 miles on my bike (2 days). 
GuideThis camping area is great for small to medium sided campers.
The newly renovated camping spots have a nice big table and fire pit.
The camp spot has a bunch of trails and a lake nearby. Firewood for sale on site as well as a small store with ice and snacks.
ScoutVery first time camping in our pop up camper. The campsite was beautiful and the facilities were extremely clean. We had issues getting our popup down but luckily, had the friendliest camper neighbors who attempted to help us. The views during the fall here are breathtaking. We got to hike through the trails around the lake and pet the horses at Wranglers. When we were leaving, the staff had started setting up Christmas decorations and lights and that was just as beautiful. Would definitely go back for unplugging, strictly nature purposes (WiFi was very spotty).
ScoutLots of family activities and great history behind park and Chickasaw warriors.
GuideThis was our first trip out, so we didn't know what we didn't know. The campsites were close together. Overall it was fairly peaceful. Lots of kids. A very good "get your feet wet" campground.
GuideThis was my first time at Chickasaw but it won’t be my last! Beautiful location, extremely friendly staff. Locals were kind, welcoming, and helpful. I spent one night here on my way south. My stay was peaceful, tranquil, and restorative. The campsite was amazing. Dazzled me with a perfect lakeside symphony of nature at its finest and a breathtaking view when I awoke.
GuideCamped for two weeks in mid fall, October 2020. Full hookups, clean bath house. Family friendly. It is dated though. Play area available, small and quant. Roads are drivable of course but need to be funded, come on Mississippi and step up.. 15-20 minutes from a supercenter on West Main Street in Tupelo. Tupelo is lovely and where we actually live. This is the nearest campground my children 13, 10, and 4 stay at. The 4yo loves is, hiking and bike riding is what the older kids do. Nice lake for fishing, no swimming or wake.
Site we stayed at was level, and fully shaded.
GuideNice state campground we arrive for one night and that was just about right there’s several trails around the lake you can go boating in the lake with the kayak if you wish though there’s paddle boats for rent camp pads are pretty large depending what you get we stayed in 97 which was pretty great drove in with a van and then just set up a quick Premitive site scenic walkways lots of goose Pooh around the lakeBut my girlfriend dared me to go swimming anyway once inside the water it was much nicer we are opportunities to swim in a lake with fish nibbling at your feet
