Port Gibson provides several RV campground options within close proximity to historical attractions and recreation areas. Grand Gulf Military Park offers RV sites with electric hookups, water, sewer connections, and 50-amp service suitable for larger motorhomes. Askew's Landing RV Campground in nearby Edwards features 97 full-hookup sites with 30/50-amp electrical service, accommodating big rigs on level sites with drinking water and sewer connections. Approximately 30 miles southwest, River View RV Park & Resort in Vidalia provides concrete pads and full hookups for motorhomes of various sizes. "Sites were gravel and uneven. Must have rained a lot recently since the ground was soggy and had puddles."
Most RV parks in the region remain open year-round, though reservations are recommended during spring and fall when tourism peaks around Vicksburg and Natchez historical sites. The Mississippi River corridor offers varied amenities across campgrounds—some parks like Ameristar RV Resort Park provide shuttle service to nearby casinos while others focus on outdoor recreation. Site spacing varies significantly between properties, with several reviews noting extremely narrow sites at certain locations. Dump stations are available at most developed campgrounds, though some older facilities have dated bathroom and shower facilities. Pet policies generally allow dogs with standard restrictions, and cellular coverage can be inconsistent, particularly at campgrounds situated along the river bluffs.
"Quilly’s has new owners and they have already begun upgrades - bathroom and laundry rooms remodel. Adding gravel to the level sites."
"All the sites are drive thru, The drive thru concrete side is nicer than the gravel. On the gravel side (where we stayed) it looks like some live there, the trailers are old and they look trashy."
"Almost 150 sites, with water, sewer and 30/50 amp electric. There are also a few tent sites with electricity. It’s well kept-grass is mowed, grounds and facilities are clean."
"Mostly pull through full hookup sites."
"Of the 3 campgrounds in the Vicksburg area that we viewed, Ameristar RV Resort park was the best. The lady in the cg office was pleasant and helpful."

$20, $13 with fed pass. 22 sites. Electric & water hookups. Dump station. Two campground loops - B: Sites 1-12, & A: Sites 13-22. Loop A is prettier that Loop B, but Loop B has more level sites which may be more suitable for larger campers. Camped at site 7 in a camper van. Large site backed against the woods with access to a hiking trail. Not much privacy between sites. Nice family campground. Sites have table, lantern post & fire ring. Picnic Area also in this rec area. Beautiful setting by the lake. Restroom/shower house needs some work. Mens shower stalls have standing water in them - possible drainage issue. Women's toilet stalls also have a similar issue due to a leaky toilet. Bugs were not too bad here in April. No AT&T & T-Mobile service at our campsite, but picked up a weak signal by the lake.
10 to 15 spaces around a big loop in a wooded area. Little run down but the area was pretty. There were what appeared to be two long term "campers" also in the loop but no one else. Very quiet at night. Campfire ring, grill grate and old wooden picnic table. Mostly flat spots with a couple of pull through spots.
We arrived around 8 pm. I am originally from the Crystal Springs area so expected bad roads, low hanging tree limbs ect... road wasn't great but also wasn't full of pot holes as I expected. There were no low hanging tree limbs, just keep your speed to about 35 and you'll be fine. This is quite possibly the hidden gem of my beloved State of Mississippi. Quiet, No WiFi, T-mobile worked in some locations. We had 35 OTA channels, not that we watched TV but it was available. Park has pull through and back in, level concrete pads with fire pit and table, 50/30/15 electric, water and sewer.
This is a very nice RV Park. It’s big. Almost 150 sites, with water, sewer and 30/50 amp electric. There are also a few tent sites with electricity. It’s well kept-grass is mowed, grounds and facilities are clean. There is a playground, a dog park, pool and hot tub. Showers and bathrooms are nice. Laundry room, small grocery/gift shop. And a guest lounge. There is a paved walking trail along the river. There is also a public boat ramp about 1/4 mile away for access to the Mississippi. Internet was sport. With this many Class A motorhomes and people streaming media the server can’t keep up.
Mostly pull through full hookup sites. Nice grass inbetween sites, lots of shade trees, but not all spots shady, concrete pads (not sure if all are but most), gravel on roads, trash pickup at site, lots of grassy areas for walking dogs, some tent sites. Very attentive and friendly staff. We would definitely stay here again, had spot 111 at the end with a great view of the mighty Mississippi River. Accepts Good Sam discount.

Port Gibson, Mississippi sits at around 125 feet above sea level in the loess bluff region. RV parks near Port Gibson typically remain accessible year-round, though winter temperatures can dip into the 30s. The area's proximity to the Natchez Trace Parkway and Mississippi River creates distinct camping opportunities with varying terrain from riverside to wooded settings.
History exploration near Grand Gulf: The military park's campground serves as an excellent base for exploring Civil War sites. "The park is filled with history. Features include a church, mill, old cemetery, observation tower, gun emplacements, rifle pits," notes camper Lee D. at Grand Gulf Military Park.
Bird watching along river bluffs: The elevated terrain provides habitat for various bird species. "We had spot 111 at the end with a great view of the mighty Mississippi River," shares Monika G., highlighting the natural viewing areas at River View RV Park.
Fishing opportunities: Lake Bruin State Park provides both shoreline and boat fishing access. "Fishing can be excellent. The sites by the water have excellent places to dock your boat by your camper," explains Jason R.
Walkable riverside paths: A paved trail along the Mississippi offers exercise opportunities. "There is even a nice paved trail on top of the levee," mentions Art Z. at River View RV Park & Resort, making this a popular feature for those staying near Vidalia.
Quiet setting: Many RV parks in the area provide a peaceful atmosphere. "It's a quiet open spot, you will love it," says Bryan O. about camping at Grand Gulf Military Park, noting the two distinct camping areas available.
Variety of site layouts: Campgrounds offer different configurations based on location preference. "Sites 3,4,5 are oriented where you see the water when you open your door. Sites 4 and 5 have a 25x10 foot deck extending from RV site-very nice," explains Jason R. from Lake Bruin State Park Campground.
Seasonal refueling impacts: The nuclear facility near Port Gibson affects campground availability. "Unfortunately for us, the campground was full as the nearby reactor was being refueled and all the employees were either camped out along the road or in the park," warns Lee D. about Grand Gulf Military Park.
Limited provisions nearby: Stock up before arrival as shopping options are scarce. "Tiny grocery store in Port Gibson; otherwise it's a trip to Vicksburg for the closest Walmart. Port Gibson had a McDonalds, Sonic and Pizza Hut (take out only)," advises Napunani.
Variable site conditions: RV parks vary significantly in site quality. "The drive thru concrete side is nicer than the gravel. On the gravel side it looks like some live there, the trailers are old and they look trashy," observes Russell at Magnolia RV Park Resort in nearby Vicksburg.
Pool access during summer: Several campgrounds offer swimming options for children. "The pool was nice and clean. Fairly priced campsite," mentions AJ G. at Magnolia RV Park Resort.
Nature-based activities: Kids enjoy the water features at state parks. "There is a beach/swimming hole but we also swam from our site #5. There are 2 playgrounds for children and a small swimming area that is roped off," reports DENISE G.
Local attractions timing: Plan visits to historic sites during morning hours to avoid afternoon heat. "We enjoyed our stay at this park. It was close to historic downtown as well as the battlefield memorial park. We rode our bikes around the park and rode across the street to the city park," shares Kloee S. at Rivertown Rose Campground.
Reservation strategy: During power plant maintenance periods, securing spots requires advance planning. "Call if you going be later then 5pm they lock the gate. They will give you lock comb," advises Bryan O. about accessing Grand Gulf Military Park.
Hookup positioning: Check utilities placement before setting up. "Sites are pull through but hookups are at extreme end of site. You must unhook tow vehicle to access hookups," warns Art S. about Rivertown Rose Campground.
Optimal site selection: Choose concrete sites when available for better stability. "We stayed here for a month for work. All the sites are drive thru. The drive thru concrete side is nicer than the gravel," suggests Russell at Magnolia RV Park, adding "We will return in July for one week of work. But we reserved the concrete area."
Storm preparedness: Some campgrounds have designated shelter areas. "Staff weren't placing anyone in them due to storm & tornado warnings! Kept everyone close to the office & restrooms (aka storm shelter)," explains LaRae L. at Askew's Landing RV Campground, noting the thoughtful staff response during severe weather threats.
