Tishomingo State Park and Piney Grove offer distinctive glamping accommodations within the picturesque landscapes near Guntown, Mississippi. Yurts at Tishomingo provide an elevated outdoor experience with electricity, comfortable beds, and convenient access to the park's natural amenities. One reviewer noted, "The sites themselves are mostly spacious with rather small camper pads," but the glamping structures offer significantly more comfort than traditional camping. Both locations feature glamping options with picnic tables and fire rings for evening relaxation. These luxury outdoor stays include access to drinking water, clean shower facilities, and toilets. Piney Grove's glamping accommodations complement the waterfront setting, allowing visitors to enjoy both comfort and nature simultaneously.
Numerous hiking trails wind through Tishomingo State Park, offering glamping guests scenic views of rock formations and clear streams. According to a camper, "There is a lot of history here and a lot to learn about Native Americans, geology, plants, animals, etc." Water activities enhance the glamping experience, with both locations providing lake access for kayaking, canoeing, and fishing opportunities. Seasonal considerations affect availability, with Piney Grove operating from March through mid-November while Tishomingo remains open year-round. The natural beauty of these glamping resorts extends beyond accommodation comfort, incorporating swimming beaches, historic stonework, and abundant wildlife viewing opportunities. Both locations require reservations for their luxury tent and yurt options, with weekends filling quickly during peak seasons.

GuideEnded up at this location after a crappy night in Alabama. It was very clean nice location. Very nice Mississippi State Park Campground. All the staff were very friendly and Gary was a great guy that we chatted with for a bit after checking in. Restrooms were clean and air conditioned. Family type campgrounds with friendly happy campers. We will be back a lot more in the future.
LegendI’m so glad I’ve finally checked this campsite off the list! It is a beautiful CCC camp that was built in the 1930s. It has primitive site, hookups, cabins and wall tents. There are lots of activities to do as well. It was sad to see some of the buildings in disrepair and I wish the bathrooms could get an upgrade. Be sure to check out the swinging bridge! There’s also disk golf!
GuideThe sites are rather narrow with varying sizes and locations for outdoor living space. Pay close attention to the states website regarding vehicle size maximums. As I walk through the park, it appears that all spots are full hookup and paved. We are on site 43 and anything longer than 30 ft will be pushing it. As it is, our 25ft trailer fits nicely, but the truck is parallel parked across the end of my site in order to be off the road. The picnic table is behind the camper instead of on camp side, which isn’t my favorite setup but we are making due. Some sites have metal fire rings, while others (like ours) have rock circle pits. Some campsites on the hill side have no picnic table OR fire pits. They also have almost no room to walk around the RV without tumbling down the hill. Sites 62 and 64 aren’t terrible, but everything else from 59 and up is pretty bad. 25-34 and 51-54 are short and back up to a a hill. Would be great for Class B or smaller travel trailers. Sites 10-24 are in a separate area from the rest. 35-50 are down on a low flat area near the water and are the best if you like a view of the lake.
Bath house in our loop is clean, not completely out of date, and heated for cold weather camping. There is a small area with 2 set of pay washers/dryers and a few vending machines.
All in all, well worth the State’s $32/night charge.
LegendPROS
We were able to reserve 368 days prior to arrival
Very friendly and helpful check-in clerk
Fantastic view of the lake from site 45
Mostly quiet except for campground party animals until 3am!
Concrete parking pad
BBQ grill
Fire ring constructed of concrete pavers
Coin-operated washers/dryers in shower/toilet facility
Small playground, pool and mini-golf course
Good jumping off point for Shiloh Battlefield
CONS
Campsite 45 was full of litter…cigarettes butts, bones, bottle caps, pieces of chalk, straws, melted soda bottles…just nasty
Fire ring made of concrete pavers full of ash and trash upon arrival…again nasty Pedestal BBQ grill full of trash and ash upon arrival…more nastiness
Campers ignored basic rules/courtesy/respect such as keeping dogs on leash and walking through occupied campsites at anytime. One camper walking through our site complained to us our chairs on our site were in THEIR way.
No senior discount
Narrow site
Site 45 not level
Site 45 mostly fun sun
Basically we didn't experience any of the campground rules being enforced so obviously there is no management oversight at this State Park
Never saw a park ranger drive through the campground (Saturday-Monday)
Never saw a camp host or a campsite for a camp host
Campground quiet hours not enforced
Posted "No Swimming” from campsites along lake, but that didn’t stop a sole and no one enforced it
Concrete picnic table at end of parking pad, so at the bumper of the camper
Sites very close to each other with no vegetation between sites, so no privacy what so ever
Street lights throughout campground, so not dark sky friendly
Small playground, pool and mini-golf course not walkable from campground
Trash dumpsters outside of campground…not walkable
Twisty, steep and narrow roadway into campsite...not for novice rig drivers
Due to short campsites, tow vehicles had to be creative with parking, sometimes blocking most of the campground road, again no enforcement efforts
No WiFi
1 bar Verizon
GuideI have camped here twice so far and it is a nice, basic campground. We tent camped but there were a couple of RV's there, so I know there are places for them. It is on a nice stretch of the Tennessee River, and you can swim, fish, and boat there. Plenty of camp sites and very spacious. Popular with the locals and fairly secluded. Pretty woodland all around. There is a bathhouse with toilets, sinks, and cold showers. The bathhouse is pretty centrally located and there are electric lights around it. Usually not crowded. Plenty of dead wood to collect for firewood. There is a covered area with picnic tables near the bathhouse. Also a few picnic tables around the grounds. There are also plenty of trash cans and fire pits. You can park right next to your site. Very good for family camping. Within a few miles there are a couple of gas stations/convenience stores. Some cell service works out there, some not so much.
LegendDavis Lake Recreation Area is situated just 4 miles from the Natchez Trace Parkway. The campground is adjacent to the Eastern shore of the 200 acre Davis Lake. 14 sites are right on the lake front offering spectacular sun rises and evening sun sets, The lake is known to anglers, and wildlife and birds are a given…we had a Great Blue Heron"friend" during our entire stay. The sites were level, paved, and all had nice spacing, picnic tables, fire pits and well cared for electric service (50 amp) and water. Bathhouses were clean and laundry was available. Dump Station. Plenty of historic places to visit in the area and groceries are available in Houlka just 4 miles away. We visited in late September with only 6 sites in use…felt like we had the place to ourselves…and being located in the Tombigbee National Forest there was no light pollution making the night sky a spectacular sight to see.
RangerAs luck would have it, we spotted this place on our Natchez Trace Parkway map and decided we had enough driving for the day. Beautiful setting among the trees and right next to the lake. Level, fire pits, charcoal grills, picnic tables, water and electric all for 20.00 a night and we didn’t qualify for any discount. Already decided we’re staying another night!
LegendAnother Mississippi State Park that has so much potential, but has been neglected. The bath house is nice, but most of the sites are extremely close together. Laundry facility’s and vending machines can be found in the bathroom.
The cove with sites 10-24 seem to be the better spots in my personal opinion. The sites on the water are nice (43,45,47).
They do have cabins for rent along with a lodge and a Marina on site. Most people that camp here are coming for the lake. This is a popular place during the summer.
LegendThis review is based on a short stay campground (CG). We followed our GPS right to this CG off US-45 just south of Corinth. We were instructed by the very nice owner, Jim, to call when we were 30 minutes out so he could meet us. Jim was right there when we pulled in and we had the choice of two pull throughs or a back-in. We chose back-in site E with FHUs for our two night’s stay. The back-in was easy and the site was fairly level as we had no problems auto-leveling. Water pressure was good at around 45 psi. We had no problems with utilities that were towards the back of the pad as we could back in a good distance. There were no playground, picnic tables nor fire pits. The CG has full timers and seasonal campers, who were very nice. They have a nice bathroom with a shower plus a small laundry with one washer and dryer. The washing is free and drying costs$1. We got two bars on Verizon and a clear shot north for Starlink. This CG is listed under Passport America but looking at reviews on multiple sites, Jim charges everyone the same price around$30. There’s no dog area, but plenty of room to walk your pups. US-45 is near so you get highway noise. After several attempts, we never got connected to the CG’s wifi. Corinth has all your major amenities such as Walmart, Lowes, etc. Borroum's Drug Store and Soda Fountain is a throwback in time and a great place to get lunch. Get there early though, as they fill up fast.We enjoyed our stay in this no frills, laid back, and friendly CG. We would definitely stay here again.
Trace State Park Campground near Guntown, Mississippi sits at the edge of the Appalachian foothills, where the terrain transitions to gentle slopes with an elevation around 400 feet. The area receives approximately 54 inches of rainfall annually, creating lush forests and well-fed waterways that support diverse camping experiences. Water features prominently in the region's camping options, with several lakes offering waterfront sites where campers can park within 50 feet of shorelines.

Hiking trails: Davis Lake Campground features walking paths through wooded areas with varying terrain. A camper mentioned, "Pretty wooded area. This is a fairly developed area along this scenic drive, with swimming, rail-to-trail biking and hiking trail, wildlife viewing, etc." Trails range from 0.25 to 3 miles in length and connect to swimming areas.
Historical exploration: Pickwick Dam Campground provides proximity to significant historical sites. "It is also close to the Shiloh National Military Park which is the reason we are here," reports Kevin B. The battlefield is approximately 20 minutes from the campground and offers daily ranger-led tours during peak season.
Waterfront camping: Piney Grove offers direct water access at most sites. "We have stayed at this campgrounds numerous times and always enjoy it. The park host and attendents are great. Park is always clean. Paved sites with gravel pads around picnic tables," writes Branden H. Sites 43 and 44 are particularly noted for their water views.
Privacy and nature setting: Puskus Lake provides a more secluded glamping experience near Guntown. "Campsite was great. Beautiful lake and not crowded. Night time was quiet. Really enjoyed the views and relaxing environment," states Hunter H. The campground typically operates at under 50% capacity on weekdays.
Clean facilities: J.P. Coleman State Park Campground maintains high standards for bathhouses. "Clean campground, bathrooms were clean with plenty of warm water. They have vending machine, washer/dryer on site," reports amber. Bathrooms are cleaned twice daily during peak season and include laundry facilities.
Road conditions: Trace State Park Campground has maintenance issues on some internal roads. "Trace state park is very nice and relaxing. From fishing, kayaking to camping. The roads in the park are terrible! That's the one downside to the park," notes Amanda F. The main campground loop has recently been resurfaced, but access roads still need repair.
Campsite leveling: Davis Lake sites require attention to leveling for RVs. "We took our 23 foot forest river TT on its maiden voyage here in mid June. It was easy to navigate even though it was dark. Nice level site. The sites away from the water looked to be uneven and on a slope so beware if you take an rv," advises Nate S.
Cell service: Wall Doxey State Park has limited connectivity. "Wifi-Tmobile worked fine whole trip. Not a lot of campers while I was here. Quiet and Peaceful," reports Christine S. Verizon users typically get 1-2 bars while AT&T service is spotty throughout the camping areas.
Swimming options: Wall Doxey State Park Campground offers family-friendly recreation. "Wall Doxey is a well maintained campground. The sites are far enough apart to not feel on top of your neighbor. The playground could use an update, but it does the job keeping the kids entertained," explains Brandon R. The playground area includes swings and climbing equipment suitable for children 4-12.
Seasonal activities: Piney Grove hosts family events during certain times. "We feel safe and at home everyone is always social and it just feels like home!!" shares Brandon C. The campground offers organized weekend activities from Memorial Day through Labor Day including movie nights and guided nature walks.
Wildlife viewing: Trace State Park provides opportunities to observe nature. "We're so happy that we drove 20 minutes off the interstate to get here! Such a wonderful place!" writes Liz R. Morning hours (6-8am) offer the best chance to spot deer, wild turkeys, and various bird species along the lakeshore.
Site selection: Cross City RV Park offers practical full-hookup options. "This is a no frills campground but it's great as a 1-nighter coming to or from the gulf coast. Sites are perfectly level, utilities all work great. Most sites are pull through and long enough to park without unhooking, even with longer rigs," advises Chip K. The park accommodates RVs up to 40 feet with 50-amp service.
Pad dimensions: Tishomingo State Park has site constraints for larger vehicles. "Super easy access from the Natchez Trace Parkway. All sites are level concrete but narrow. No room for error on either side," notes Wendy T. RVers should verify site dimensions when booking as many pads are under 12 feet wide.
Hookup placement: Pickwick Dam Campground has well-designed utility connections. "Nice level site. View of the TN River. 50, 30 and 20 amp service. Water but no sewer. Nice clean bathhouse," reports James L. Electric and water connections are placed mid-pad for convenient access from most RV configurations.
