Best Campgrounds near Madison, MS

Several camping options surround Madison, Mississippi, with a mix of settings and amenities. Rocky Springs Campground on the Natchez Trace Parkway has flat camping spots and good hiking trails nearby. Just south in Jackson, LeFleur's Bluff State Park Campground gives campers spacious sites that feel surprisingly quiet despite being in the city. A bit farther out in Morton, Roosevelt State Park Campground combines hiking paths with a small lake where you can fish or take a boat out. Watch for wildlife like deer and raccoons around all these places - keep your food secured at night. You won't need special permits for these campgrounds, but making reservations is smart, particularly in summer and fall weekends.
