The view of the lake was beautiful in the mornings." Basic furnishings typically include beds, seating areas, and sometimes tables, though specific amenities vary by location.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the campground. Town Creek Campground in West Point provides waterfront cabin options with creek-side settings, while Okatibbee Lake Waterpark offers cabins closer to water recreation areas. Lake Lowndes State Park cabins consistently receive positive feedback for their lake views and peaceful settings. A review noted, "The cabins had wonderful views of the lake," highlighting the appeal of waterfront accommodations.

    Okatibbee Lake Waterpark

    RV park

    RV campgrounds on Lake Okatibbee in Lauderdale County, MS. The pads are asphalt and have electric, water, and sewer connections. They also have picnic table in good shape and a steel picnic grill. This is not a fancy park, but it is decent. It has a bath house- restroom and showers. It also has washer and dryers. The bath house is in pretty good shape- they keep it fairly clean. The staff is very nice. Most of the pads are in the woods with a few pads overlooking the water- none are on the water. We tent camp, but there are no primitive sites here. There are a few cabins that are closer to the water. This is a place we will come back and stay.

    Lake Lowndes State Park Campground

    Amazing, Enjoyable Experience

    Lake Lowndes is simply a place that every camper (primitive or RV) has to visit.  The staff from the ranger to the park host to the manager and everyone else is friendly and ready to help in any way.  The sites are paved, large and very easy to back into.  We have stayed at #43, #41, #1, #31 and #35 and we love them all.  31, 41, and 43 are the best.  There used to be an ant problem but the staff has fixed that tremendously - good job.  The park has a beautiful small lake for Boating, fishing, and other water sports as well.  Other things to do include an amazing frisbee golf course, tennis courts, softball fields, children’s playground, hiking, biking, and a huge admin building with many indoor games like pool and ping pong. The scenery is magnificent and we fell in love with the ducks, geese, and deer families that run around every night.  Picnic tables, grills, and fire pits at every site.  Do yourself a favor and visit this camp ground.

    Lake Lowndes State Park Campground

    Cottage Stay

    We stayed in Cottage 1 during our Thanksgiving vacation to visit family. The location was close to family in New Hope and the cottage was nice and cozy. The view of the lake was beautiful in the mornings and we also enjoyed a nice game of disc golf. I gave this stay a 4 out of 5 since there was no cell phone signal for Verizon once you entered the park even though it’s so close to the town of New Hope.

    Lake Lowndes State Park Campground

    Good times

    Really nice state park. Recently updated picnic tables. Nice quiet spots. We tent camped on a camper spot. Only complaint is that the showers could use a good remodeling, very dated. Other than that had a great time.

    Lake Lowndes State Park Campground

    Great campground!

    The park manager and workers are so nice and accommodating! I’ve stayed in the cabins and the primitive sites and both had wonderful views of the lake. The hiking trail that loops around the water is beautiful. My dog loves it too! It’s such a great place to go relax, have fun, grill out, and make memories.

    Starkville KOA

    Extremely Peaceful

    The customer service was absolutely outstanding! 4 stars only because of lack of amenities for kids, however, they do have games to rent from office. Unfortunately the lake has mostly dried up and no longer hits the shoreline of the campground (apparently been this way for 6 years). They used to have what looked like an awesome beach area, water slides, boat ramps etc... but it has all fallen into disrepair which makes sense now that the water has receded. Our son and his buddy still had fun relaxing, throwing the ball around and playing a few games. WiFi was not great except for AT&T which means there must be an AT&T tower nearby. All stores, Walmart, restaurants etc.. are about a 12 minute drive away if needed. All in all, it was very relaxing. If they added a huge pool, I think it’d be a big hit.

    City by - no lake

    It’s a basic KOA with clean showers, laundry, and full hookups. The lake that was a an attraction including water slides and fishing docks is dry and has been for a couple of years.

    Lake Lowndes State Park Campground

    Lovely lake with a view!

    We tent camped in the RV park with 4 dogs. Our campsite (10) was perfect- right on the water, plenty of space, nice even pad for our tent & canopy. The neighbors were kind & the bathrooms well maintained. Definitely will stay again. Nice trails too!


Guide to Louisville

Cabin camping near Louisville, Mississippi provides access to several recreation areas within a 30-60 mile radius. The region features rolling hills and hardwood forests typical of east-central Mississippi, with elevations ranging from 400-600 feet above sea level. Winter temperatures average 40-60°F, making year-round camping accessible, though summer humidity can reach 80-90% during July and August.

What to do

Disc golf courses: Lake Lowndes State Park Campground offers an 18-hole disc golf course that winds through wooded areas. "The park has a beautiful small lake for boating, fishing, and other water sports as well. Other things to do include an amazing frisbee golf course, tennis courts, softball fields, children's playground, hiking, biking, and a huge admin building with many indoor games like pool and ping pong," notes reviewer Richard W.

Paddling opportunities: Town Creek Campground provides direct water access for kayaking and canoeing. "We paddle in the area by the campground. Almost all motor boaters are very thoughtful in reducing their wake. Many people are fishing, some are catching and some families are out in pleasure boats cruising on the waterway," reports Cyndi H.

Hiking trails: Several cabin locations offer walking paths through native woodlands. "The hiking trail that loops around the water is beautiful. My dog loves it too! It's such a great place to go relax, have fun, grill out, and make memories," says Tiffany B. about Lake Lowndes State Park Campground.

What campers like

Lake views: Campers consistently mention scenic water vistas from cabin accommodations. "We tent camped in the RV park with 4 dogs. Our campsite (10) was perfect- right on the water, plenty of space, nice even pad for our tent and canopy. The neighbors were kind and the bathrooms well maintained," writes Devan T. about Lake Lowndes.

Wildlife viewing: Early morning and evening wildlife sightings enhance the cabin experience. "The scenery is magnificent and we fell in love with the ducks, geese, and deer families that run around every night," reports Richard W. from his stay at Lake Lowndes State Park.

Proximity to towns: Starkville KOA offers convenience while maintaining a rural feel. "All stores, Walmart, restaurants etc. are about a 12 minute drive away if needed. All in all, it was very relaxing," notes Chuck S., highlighting the balance between seclusion and accessibility.

What you should know

Seasonal considerations: Some lake levels fluctuate significantly throughout the year, affecting recreation options. "The lake that was an attraction including water slides and fishing docks is dry and has been for a couple of years," reports Chris B. about Starkville KOA's lake condition.

Pest management: Take precautions for insects, particularly during warm months. "At about 4:00 am, we awoke to find ants invading the trailer. The outside of the trailer was covered with thousands of ants and they were pouring into the trailer. A park employee came in the afternoon and sprayed all entry points around the trailer," warns Terry P. from a Lake Lowndes stay.

Connection limitations: Okatibbee Lake Waterpark and other rural locations have spotty cellular coverage. Several reviewers note connectivity challenges, with Christopher B. stating, "I gave this stay a 4 out of 5 since there was no cell phone signal for Verizon once you entered the park even though it's so close to the town of New Hope."

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: Multiple campgrounds feature play areas for children of different ages. "This campground is very pretty and peaceful. They have a nice playground for the younger kids and disc golf for the older kids. And the lake is great for fishing and kayaking," Linda O. shares about her Lake Lowndes experience.

Indoor recreation options: For rainy days, look for campgrounds with indoor facilities. Lake Lowndes offers "a huge admin building with many indoor games like pool and ping pong," according to Richard W., providing entertainment regardless of weather conditions.

Rental equipment: Some parks offer recreational equipment for guest use. "They do have games to rent from office," mentions Chuck S. about The Oaks RV Park, which has recently expanded its cabin options for non-RV campers.

Tips from RVers

Hookup locations: Check for multiple utility connection points before setting up. "When we arrived no one told us of the possibility of two sewage hookups and which one should be used. We automatically hooked up to the one on the side by the water and electric. After 3 days there I noticed water puddling," warns Ellen S. about her Okatibbee Lake experience.

Site selection: Request specific sites based on shade requirements and accessibility. "Sites are nicely spaced. During the week, we enjoy watching pilots from the Columbus Air Force Base honing their skills," notes Cyndi H. about Town Creek Campground site #82, highlighting the unique aviation viewing opportunity.

Shower facilities: Bathroom quality varies significantly between locations. "The bathouse was clean, but very rundown," reports Terry P. from Lake Lowndes, while another reviewer notes, "Really nice state park. Recently updated picnic tables. Nice quiet spots. Only complaint is that the showers could use a good remodeling, very dated."
