Best Campgrounds near Natchez, MS

105 Reviews

Camping near Natchez, Mississippi ranges from state parks to historic sites with several good options. Rocky Springs Campground attracts hikers who want to check out the trails and nearby historic spots. Campers looking for water activities head to Lake Bruin State Park Campground for fishing and boating. Percy Quin State Park has more basic facilities that show their age, so it helps to come prepared. Spring and fall bring the most comfortable weather for camping around Natchez. The summer heat and humidity can be intense, so drink plenty of water and plan your activities for cooler parts of the day. Watch for deer, raccoons, and lots of birds in these areas, and keep your food secure. Most campgrounds have decent roads, though some narrow sections might slow you down. If you're heading to more remote spots, a vehicle with good clearance helps. Remember that Rocky Springs doesn't have drinking water, so bring enough for your stay. Cell phones don't work well in parts of the area, so let someone know where you'll be camping. Natchez camping gives you both outdoor time and historical sites to visit.

    Clear Springs Lake Rec Area NF Campground

    Sadly disappointed

    I went to visit Cleat Springs. It is run down, roads are narrow and broken up, there are water moccasins in the lake. Nothing like the beautiful place it was.

    Clear Springs Recreation Area

    No primitive sites found. Small RVs can fit.

    It has 2 separate areas, both have electric and water at the sites. $25. Smaller RVs and tents only. Dump site at the entrance. There are trials, large picnic areas, and an older bath house with hot showers. Big pond for fishing and swimming.

    Clear Springs Recreation Area

    Quiet, clean, $20

    There's 2 separated campgrounds. The lower site is less accessible for longer campers. $20 per night includes water, power, gravelled site, fire ring, and day use. Lots of trails and a large pond to fish and swim. Picnic areas and well maintained banks. I read a review that stated free primitive camping, but I found no such location.

    Great Spot on the Mississippi

    Lovely campground, large lots, friendly & helpful staff & campers, clean restrooms & showers. There are some nice, private spaces, but staff weren’t placing anyone in them due to storm & tornado warnings! Kept everyone close to the office & restrooms (aka storm shelter). Great walking path by the river. A little less rustic than I like, but right across from Natchez, MS which was my touristy destination

    River View RV Park & Resort

    Magnificent campground right on the Mississippi River

    We spent a few days at River View RV Park in January, visiting Natchez and enjoying the view of the Mississippi River. The sites were pretty spacious and many have an unobstructed view of the river. There is even a nice paved trail on top of the levee.

    The staff was super helpful with advice for what to see and where to eat. We will definitely return when the weather is warmer.

    Beautiful, wooded campground. Grounds and bathhouse are well maintained. Its so quiet and peaceful. It's hard to tell on the map, but the bathhouse is conveniently located for all sites in B section. We stayed in lot 26. It was a great spot.
