Best Cabin Camping near Hattiesburg, MS
Paul B. Johnson State Park Campground provides lakeside cabin rentals with full hook-ups and access to Geiger Lake. Cabins feature electricity, running water, and grills, with many offering direct lake views and pier access. The campground has both older sites with asphalt pads and newer sites with concrete pads, though the newer sites sacrifice some of the lake views. Little Black Creek Campground and Hattiesburg/Okatoma River KOA also offer cabin options with varying levels of amenities including showers, picnic tables, and fire pits. "The sites were not well marked with numbers, so we had to drive around a time or two to locate our site. Our site was lakeside on a hill leading down to a pier that jutted into the lake."
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Military Park Camp Shelby Lake Walker Family Campground provides cabin rentals with full hook-ups, showers, toilets and picnic tables, and remains open year-round. Most cabins across the region allow pets, though specific rules vary by location. According to one visitor, "We had site on the water, very relaxing. We rented canoes to canoe lake, ride bikes on paved roads, geocaching and hiking." Reservations are especially important during summer months when the splash pad, swimming areas, and lake activities are in full swing.
Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Some campgrounds like Flint Creek Waterpark and Big Creek Water Park offer cabins with basic kitchen facilities, but cooking arrangements vary widely across locations. On-site markets are available at several locations including Paul B. Johnson State Park and Little Black Creek Campground & Park, though selection is limited. A camper noted the Paul B. Johnson "Camp store doesn't have much, just ice, wood, and propane. Come prepared!" For more substantial grocery needs, Hattiesburg is approximately 8 miles from Paul B. Johnson State Park.
