LegendCute, quiet campground tucked away in the woods, yet only 5 minutes from the interstate! The sites are spacious, shaded, and very level. The showers and bathrooms are clean, and the laundry facilities are great. Highly recommend, especially for the price. Excellent value!
GuideCash 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.
ScoutMy daughter door dashes in Florence. Since we live in the Bankhead Forest, sometimes we stay closer to Florence. We love this park for peace and quiet. Easy to find. Only real problem is the showers. They are not heated and there is no door. So you need to bring your own shower curtain. It's wide open to the world.
GuideVery nice campground has concrete pads for RVs water and electric no sewer but does have a dump station has lots of beautiful hiking trails. Dog friendly and historic sites
LegendGreat campground with a friendly and knowledgeable campground host.
GuideSmall 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.
LegendStayed here for 4 nights in sites 27 and 28. Right across from the bathrooms which were more than adequate. Was able to put our paddle board in from site 27 - just had to walk thru a little brush to access the river. Very quiet campground. No other campers in our loop at all. Sites are shady and perfectly level.
ScoutCheck in with very nice and friendly. Bath houses are a bit dated but clean. Nice view of Tom bigby waterway. No sewer hookups but does have a dump station.
TravelerCampground looks nice, RV sites have water but no electricity, dump station available. Very quiet, some sites right on the water.
Camping options around Fulton, Mississippi include both Corps of Engineers and state park facilities with varying levels of amenities. Most sites in the area connect to the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway system, which features extensive boating access. Winter temperatures typically range from 30-55°F, while summer months often exceed 90°F with high humidity levels affecting camping comfort.
Hiking trails: Tishomingo State Park offers extensive trail systems through unique geological formations. "The swinging bridge and trail is very cool! The river is fantastic," notes Greg S., who appreciated the park's natural features beyond standard camping amenities.
Disc golf courses: Tombigbee State Park Campground has disc golf integrated with nature trails. "We hiked all the trails and they were well manicured and followed a frisbee golf course," reports Allison N., who visited as a solo female traveler with her dog.
Waterway activities: Piney Grove Campground provides direct lake access from many sites. "We had our own beach in front of our RV," shares Maria S. about her first RV camping experience. The campground's shoreline allows for easy kayaking without driving to a boat ramp.
Waterfront views: Whitten Park Campground offers premium sites along the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway. "Our 3/3/21-3/6/21 stay at Site 60 provides easy access to a fishing pier, walking paths and enjoyable sunsets," reports Cyndi H., who appreciated the comfortable site sizes under adequate forest canopy.
Quiet environment: Many campers mention the peaceful setting at campgrounds like Piney Grove. "It was so peaceful and quiet, we chose a waterfront spot and we literally had our own beach in front of our RV," Maria S. commented about her offseason stay.
Accessible trails: Tishomingo features interesting geological features not common in Mississippi. "Love the trails. The Bear Creek is peaceful to sit beside," writes Bruce F., noting the potential for kayaking in summer months despite some challenging campsite layouts.
Cell service limitations: Service varies widely across campgrounds near Fulton. At Piney Grove, "Cell service was spotty with both Verizon and AT&T having two bars. We could text but not receive phone calls and often the internet wouldn't connect or was too slow to be useful," according to MickandKarla W.
Seasonal facility closures: Some campgrounds reduce services during winter months. "Hard to give a complete review. Bath facilities were COVID closed. But, level sites. Water & electric hook-ups," noted Mary D. during her stay at Trace State Park.
Road conditions: Several campgrounds need infrastructure improvements. At Trace State Park, Tod S. mentioned: "Sites are adequately spaced and sorta level and paved. Beautiful sunsets picturesque tree lined lake. Park roads are in serious need of repair."
Playground proximity: Tombigbee State Park Campground offers multiple play areas for children. "Multiple updated playgrounds... Great for young kids because the campground is small with a flat loop that is easy for bike riding, skating, or scooters," advises Ryan S., though noting "Absolutely no shade on the playground."
Swimming options: Waterfront access doesn't always mean swimming is permitted. "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," reports Greg S. about Tishomingo State Park.
Safe biking loops: Smaller campgrounds provide contained areas for children on wheels. "Great for young kids because the campground is small with a flat loop that is easy for bike riding, skating, or scooters. It is easy to see the kids from your campsite and not worry about them getting lost," explains Ryan S.
Site selection strategy: At Piney Grove Campground, experienced campers recommend researching before arrival. "We suggest reading reviews on various websites to find which sites will better fit your rig. The pad lengths on the reservations website seemed to be accurate," advises MickandKarla W., who navigated their 39' fifth wheel through tight loops with many trees.
Satellite connectivity challenges: Dense tree cover affects satellite reception at many area campgrounds. "We had no north shot for our Starlink. However, we got 2 to 3 bars on Verizon and the Mifi worked well for our needs to include streaming," explains MickandKarla W. about their stay at Whitten Park.
Early arrival benefits: Weekend camping can become congested. "We were glad we did as after an easy check in at the gate, we proceeded to our loop... The loops here are a little tight and there are lots of trees so coming in late on a popular weekend could be challenging with trucks, cars, and boats parked about," notes MickandKarla W.
