Best Campgrounds near Hernando, MS

512 Reviews

Campgrounds surrounding Hernando, Mississippi accommodate a range of camping preferences with several established facilities within a 20-mile radius. Notable options include Hernando Point on Wheeler Road with both tent and RV sites, while Arkabutla Lake hosts multiple campgrounds including Dub Patton and South Abutment Recreation Areas. These mixed-use campgrounds provide varying levels of amenities, from primitive tent sites at Kellys Crossing to full-hookup RV parks like EZ Daze in Southaven, which features concrete pads and modern facilities.

Most campgrounds in the Hernando area remain open year-round, though seasonal conditions affect facility availability and comfort. Summer temperatures frequently exceed 90°F with high humidity, making spring and fall more comfortable for tent campers. Reservations are recommended, particularly for weekend stays at popular sites like Hernando Point and Jellystone Park. Many campers note the accessibility of facilities during winter months when crowds thin significantly. Several campgrounds provide sanitary dump stations, electric hookups, and drinking water, though primitive sites with minimal amenities are also available. According to one visitor, "Area of the park is very clean, bathrooms are always very clean and nice. Only complaint is the lack of usable WiFi. But over all we love it."

RV enthusiasts praise the concrete pads and full hookups available at several Southaven facilities, while tent campers can find more natural settings at lake-adjacent sites. Proximity to Memphis makes these campgrounds convenient bases for exploring urban attractions while maintaining access to outdoor recreation. Water-based activities dominate during warmer months, with boating access available at multiple Arkabutla Lake campgrounds. A review mentioned that EZ Daze RV Park offers "Level, nice concrete pads. Good hookups. Workers all very pleasant. Quiet location close to gas station and stores." Noise levels vary significantly, with highway-adjacent sites experiencing consistent traffic sounds while lakeside options provide more tranquility. Family-oriented amenities are prominent at Jellystone Park Memphis, which features playgrounds, a swimming pool, and seasonal water activities that appeal to campers with children.

    Puskus Lake

    Good spot, busy on weekends

    Amazing spot stayed here for 6 days no problems and enjoyed it a ton. If you have solar or starlink pick your spot wisely as a lot I have a ton of trees.

    Village Creek State Park Campground

    Great family vacation campground

    One of the largest campgrounds in the state. weekends fill up fast with local families, enjoying the campground with their kids and dogs. Lots of bike riding trails as well as trails for people that bring their horses for the horse camp section. Sites are fairly close together. Camp is well maintained and has a great visitors center with friendly staff.

    Wall Doxey State Park Campground

    Pricey but ok for an overnight

    Heavily wooded campground with large sites well spaced. Concrete pads for your camper rig but watch your step. Lots of erosion around the edges. Sites do have electric and water service. I thought prices were a little high. With registration fee and taxes my two nights stay was about $70.

    Oak Grove (MS) — Sardis Lake

    Good place

    Quiet campground with a lake you can fish and have a fishing boat. Pontoons are acceptable. Bathrooms are decent and the camps pot accommodated my 36ft 5th wheel.

    Village Creek State Park Campground

    Quiet and Relaxing

    This place is very beautiful and DEEP into to woods. The sites are very spread out with privacy though and we loved that!

    We arrived after hours and our site had a pamphlet with our name and some basic information for our stay.

    In the morning, the spot was very beautiful and tucked away in the woods with visibility to the lake down the hill.

    It rained briefly and our spot was down a slight hill so there was a bit of concern with puddling, but there was proper drainage and the site didn’t puddle as much as we would’ve thought! The site was very leveled!

    We lost service about 5/10 minutes out from the park with Verizon so if there are things you need to search before do that!

    When we left we stopped by the visitor center that had a pretty wide range of things to do with a gift store. The staff and rangers were very nice!

    We would visit again!

    Delta Ridge RV Park

    Perfect for a single overnight

    Small, tight campground that has no amenities at all, but is priced accordingly. This campground has full hookups at every site, the sites are tight enough together that opposing slides wouldn’t fit, there are no bathrooms, laundry facilities, etc. It is conveniently located very close to I40 and is minutes from shopping and restaurants.

    Added bonus……the WiFi is rock solid. I didn’t bother using my Starlink as I was able to stream from the campgrounds wifi.

    Village Creek State Park Campground

    Really nice, quiet CG

    We have a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow and stayed in site 50 for 1 night in mid September. The CG is clean, well maintained. The CG roads are paved, as are the sites. The sites themselves all seemed pretty level. The CG was very quiet and peaceful and about half full while we were there. Our site, 50, was a pull-through, as were several, but most were back in. There is some shade depending on the site. The bathhouses are showing their age a bit. 

    AT&T coverage was basically nonexistent with 1 bar of 5GE service but 0 MB/s of throughput. We had a clear view to the N at the site, so Starlink was fine with speeds up to 13 MB/s.

    Village Creek State Park Campground

    Good rest for weary travelers!

    Arrived after hours to Campsite area A (sites 1-41). Note: reservation app does was not allow same day reservations, so find "available" site and pay at kiosk at visitor center. Hard to see park at night but in the morning found clean restrooms and shower --a happy find. Park offers nice large sites for tent and RVs with power, water, picnic table & fire rings. Really nice campgrounds with golf and equestrian facilities near by.

    Mississippi River State Park Campground

    Beautiful and quiet

    This small campground is beautiful and kept very clean. Sites are full hookup. The bath house is very clean. There are four private toilet/shower rooms. All handicapped accessible. My favorite sites are 12, 13, and 14. My least favorite were 9, 10, and 11, but they are pull through sites.
