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.
ScoutCampground looks nice, RV sites have water but no electricity, dump station available. Very quiet, some sites right on the water.
RangerGPS will send you thru the city but there's a direct routes around city. Follow the river road around city and it goes by the turn off to campground. Campground is nicely organized, some sites are close to ea h other some are spaced out double Check the map. Also lots shade over sites you might need extra cable to set up your satellite device in open space. Staff at entry point was very helpful and friendly. Our site was nicely shaded and level. Bathhouse was clean. Shower hardware needs some updates.
TravelerBeautiful sites nestled in the forest up against the lake. The sunset is absolutely gorgeous!
Watch out for water moccasins though!
GuideStaff was helpful and steered in the right direction. Very nice spot next to the bath house. There is water and electricity but no dump. So that was good to have.

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.
