Nice quiet campground. We stayed at site 59. Level concrete pad, full hookup. We walked a couple trails. It’s been very dry no waterfalls and small creeks were dry.

Still One of Our Favs
GPS took us right to Whitten Park Campground (CG). The check-in gate opens early most days and was already open when we arrived at 2:15 PM. Check-in was friendly and quick, even though the official check-in time was 4:00 PM. We had pull-through site 9 with water and electric(50/30/20 AMP). Sites 8 and 9 had been combined to create a very long pull-through with two sets of utilities. We were able to position our rig on the pad to compensate for the slight slope, using one leveling block under each wheel on the door side. With temperatures reaching 100 degrees, we were glad the 50 AMP service supported all three of our air conditioners. As with most COE CGs, water pressure was very good, so we used our pressure regulator. Our site had a nice step-down patio with a large picnic table, stand-up BBQ grill, and fire pit. We stayed in the same site a couple of years ago, but the picnic table and other amenities from the former site 8 had since been removed. We also enjoyed a partial water view through the trees. We had 3 bars on Verizon and 2 bars on T-Mobile, with the T-Mobile signal strong enough to run our T-Mobile Home Internet and stream. With the amount of large trees in this CG, satellite could be iffy depending on the site. There was no CG WiFi. We stayed in Loop 1, which had trails leading to the boating and fishing docks, along with connecting trails to the other CG loops. Loops 1 and 3 are the most popular and tend to attract more campers. If you prefer fewer crowds and a quieter camping experience, consider Loop 2, which generally has fewer occupied sites, especially during the week. Whitten Park remains one of our favorite campgrounds.

My friend was cussed at when arrived.
They was cussed at us and told me my camper was ugly and accused of me being on drugs. And was told I was a lier. Was very blunt and said my camper looks like shit.

RV Camping
We have been to Hollow Hideaway for the past few years to camp and ride SXS’s. I highly recommend this place. The owners are the best I’ve ever felt with and now have become our friends. The RV sites are well maintained and the rental cabins and house are amazing. Get your spot booked now! You won’t be disappointed.

Good for the night
Cash or checks only, $60. Lots of trees and big spaces if you're staying more than one night. One nightnighters get put in the back with close sites. A birders paradise here.

Erin L.GuideTombigbee State Park Campground
FHU- Not big rig friendly
Small park, 20 sites of various sizes, 18 full hook ups(even sewer). Tent& group camping available. Cabins also available. A/C Bathhouse centralized with a vending machine for canned soda, men's side, women's side, and coin laundry(2 washer/2 dryer)$2.50 per use for light wash load- price increases with load size and function.$2.50 per dryer in commercial dryer. Sides each consisted of 3 flush toilets and 2 shower stalls. Lots of playground equipment for kids, along with a small baseball diamond, volleyball nets, BBQ grills, picnic tables and pavilions. Lots of trails around, but seems that they link to the disc golf course. Trolling motor or kayak lake only, NO SWIMMING. You can rent kayaks from the office. Fishing available with permit available at office& limits. Not far from Tupelo, MS, 15 minute drive to explore and shop. Our site#6 was just big enough for our camper(35 ft). We parked our truck(25ft) sideways-ish in front of the camper. We tried to stay out of the road for passing vehicles. There were parking spaces just up from our site, but our truck would have stuck out into traffic. Glad that we didn't because a storm came through and the wind caused a tree to come down over the road in front of our camper where those parking spots were. When I made the reservation via the phone number, I spoke with a representative who was in Maryland, so she had no idea, but said that on her screen the pad size should be long enough and it was not. There is no one at the gatehouse, you have to check in at the office across from the campground or envelopes are provided with a fee list for the honor system. It was quiet at night. There was only 1 other RV hooked up there the whole 7 days that we were. There were people that came through the week for 1 night only, but most people coming into the campground loop were stopping to use the shower facilities, the laundry facilities, or just driving through. We camped at Tombigbee State Park in a Travel Trailer.

The newly renovated camping spots have a nice big table and fire pit," writes Brian T., noting the well-maintained facilities that make this location stand out.
Stargazing opportunities: The dark skies at Big Hill Pond State Park create optimal conditions for night sky viewing. "This is a dark sky area, so come during the new moon phase for views of the Milky Way!" advises Shana D., providing specific timing recommendations for astronomical observation.
Value pricing: Tishomingo State Park Campground offers reasonable rates compared to other regional options. "The best part was the price. I showed up without a reservation and got two nights with water and electric service for real cheap compared to everywhere else we camped for the last 7 months," says Kevin C., emphasizing the affordability factor.
What you should know
Varying site conditions: Chewalla Lake Recreation Area has inconsistent site quality. "The campground seems to be slowly going through some upgrades! That's always great news! The first couple of sites on your right have fresh gravel, while other sites are still in great shape, but are a little more rustic," explains Shana D., detailing the transitional state of the facilities.
Access challenges: Navigation to some campgrounds can be difficult. Regarding Chewalla Lake, Kaitlyn C. warns, "First, it was impossible to find it. Took about two hours. My GPS had me get off highway at wrong exit and then I didn't know which intersection of 7 and 4 the campground was at."
Insects can be intense: Seasonal mosquitoes affect camping comfort, particularly at certain locations. "I was driving trying to find my campsite and then I started itching. A mosquito had gotten in in that 30 seconds I had the window down," reports Kaitlyn C. about Chewalla Lake, suggesting campers bring appropriate repellent.
Tips for camping with families

Every camp site had wonderful decorations and the kids had such a blast," shares Fred S., highlighting organized activities that enhance family camping experiences.
Tips from RVers
Site leveling considerations: Chickasaw State Park Campground requires careful site selection. "The trailer/RV loop is on the side of a hill. It was amazing the way they got so many half way level sites into this area. Very, very tight," warns Gary P., providing important information for drivers of larger rigs.
