Bogue Chitto State Park Campground offers equestrian trails and welcomes riders with horses. The 1,200-acre park features maintained horse trails traversing varied terrain through bottomland hardwood forests. Campers with horses can access dedicated equestrian paths while staying at either the Upland or Bottomland camping loops. The park accommodates various camping styles with tent sites, RV hookups, and cabins available. Many sites have full hookups including water, electric, and sewer connections. Trailer parking is available near campsites. Riders note that trail access points are well-marked and the park is maintained with clean facilities. Some trails follow alongside the Bogue Chitto River, providing scenic riding opportunities and water access for horses during warmer months.
The park's trail system connects directly to several riding loops ranging from easy to moderate difficulty. Horse owners can access approximately 14 miles of designated equestrian trails with varied terrain including wooded sections, river views, and gentle hills. Water crossings are present on some trails, particularly after rainfall. The campground provides clean restrooms and shower facilities near both camping loops. Sites in the Upland area offer more level parking for horse trailers compared to the Bottomland section. Summer months see higher visitor numbers, especially on weekends when day-use visitors also access the trails. The park requires negative Coggins tests for all horses, and riders must follow established trail rules including proper waste management. Winter and spring typically offer the best trail conditions with fewer muddy sections.

One of our favorite state parks
We love this park. Huge park with plenty of places to explore. We saw plenty of wildlife such as turkey, deer, rabbits, turtles, alligators and birds. Plenty of trails for hiking and biking. The river offers a nice swimming hole during the summer. WiFi worked good enough. Verizon cell service worked well in most areas of the park.

Overall great park
I went camping for New Years. My campsite was right next to the bathrooms which was super convenient and surprisingly not noticeably busy. Thought I would have access to the water but didn’t. The hiking trail connects just across the road so easy access but kind of hard to find the trailhead. Enjoyed hiking the trail and had plenty of spots with water along the way for my dog. We hiked on the beach as well and it was quite peaceful we were basically the only ones.

Quiet Getaway with Great Activities and Amenities
We stayed at spot 31. Near the restrooms but not much through traffic. Dumpster was right next to the bathrooms. Not a lot of street lights throughout the campground made things nice and quiet at night. Spots were gravel and needed a lot of leveling front to back. The site had a very nice deck with a picnic table. The site had full hookups for water, electricity, and sewage. The site had great Verizon and T-mobile cell service, around 50-80 mbps for each. The hiking trails were very nice with lots of shorts and long options. The bike trails were also nice with a lot of different difficulty options to try, you can also rent bikes if needed. Overall the campground was clean, very quiet, very spacious, and is a perfect weekend getaway with fun activities. We camped at Bogue Chitto State Park in a Travel Trailer.

Big campground with lots of activities
We stayed in the Uplands RV area and it was great. Spots were gravel and big so it was pretty easy to back into, with nice patios and not too close together. Some spots had motorhomes on a lift on the front to be level, but most were fine. The bathrooms near us were clean but the showers did have some mold (did not use). The trails are really nice! You can tell a lot of work goes into continual improvement and upkeep.
Bring or rent bikes and canoes! Would visit again , for sure.

Great park tent spot so so
I enjoyed my stay at Bogue Chitto. There is plenty to do, between biking, hiking, fishing, and play grounds. I didn’t like my spot though. I booked on the water, but the vegetation was over grown so I didn’t have a view of it. Nor could I fish in there because of the over growth. I definitely saw better spots and will book there next time.

Not a functional camp grund
When I was a kid this place was nice but .. I called and was told to just to show up. When we did there was no one around. The place looks to be abandoned. We went to nearby lake Lincon. But staying there was not a option. The hookups were there but the grass was taller than they were .
Guide to McComb
Bogue Chitto State Park Campground features horseback riding trails and equestrian-friendly accommodations 10 miles from McComb. The park maintains clean, well-spaced campsites with both RV and tent options in two distinct camping areas - Uplands and Bottomlands loops. Riders appreciate the park's extensive trail network designed for horses, with multiple terrain types from wooded paths to riverside routes. The campground offers water and electric hookups at most sites, with full sewer connections available in the Uplands loop. Bottomland sites position campers closer to water features but lack sewer hookups. The park's horse trails connect to natural features throughout the 1,200-acre property, allowing for extended riding experiences.
Trail access begins directly from the campground, with routes suitable for various riding skill levels. The park's trail system includes both dedicated bridle paths and multi-use trails that connect riders to scenic overlooks, creek crossings, and the Bogue Chitto River. Horse owners must bring their own portable corrals or tie-out equipment as the park does not provide permanent horse containment facilities. Water access points for horses exist along several trails. Most sites can accommodate horse trailers with adequate parking space, though reservations are recommended for equestrian campers to ensure suitable sites. The campground maintains clean facilities with staff checking amenities multiple times daily. Riders report particularly enjoying the varied terrain and well-maintained trails that showcase the park's distinctive hilly topography unlike most Louisiana state parks.
