    Magnolia Sands RV Park

    Magnolia Sands RV Park, Mississippi

    What a great little RV park Magnolia Sands is!! Bridgett and Gary offer a rural setting in southeast Mississippi. 5 miles from Wiggins, Ms. Park has 20 sites with full hook-ups. $24 for 30 amp and $26 per night for 50 amp. Beautiful park amongst the trees with its own pond. Concrete pads are large enough to handle most “big rigs”. Open year round and monthly rates are available. The park is 40 miles north of Gulf Port and Biloxi so finding some Gulf beaches is easy. On site is a laundry, game room, meeting room and bathrooms with showers. Basketball and volleyball areas provide recreational entertainment. A strong WiFi network is available. The nearby town of Wiggins has everything you’ll need! Restaurants, grocery stores and fuel.

    If you are looking for a quite, peaceful, no frills spot to stay… I highly recommend Magnolia Sands RV Park! We have already booked our stay to return in March.

    Little Black Creek Campground & Park

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hidden Gem — Can’t Believe I’d Never Heard of It!

    We just spent the weekend at Little Black Creek Campground in Lumberton, MS, and it absolutely deserves a 5-star review. I live less than 2 hours away and honestly can’t believe I hadn’t discovered this place sooner — it’s a massive, beautifully wooded, and incredibly well-maintained hidden gem.

    We stayed at a full hookup RV site and were blown away by how spacious, level, and private it was. Most sites had wooden decks, and many had lake views or direct access, including ours, which had stairs leading right down to the water and a picnic table on a platform. We didn’t see a single “bad” site in the whole park.

    The lake is gorgeous, and swimming is allowed! They have kayaks, canoes, jon boats for rent, and even a bait shop onsite. There’s also fishing, hiking trails, disc golf (two full courses!), a general store, multiple bathhouses, and cute tiny cabin rentals for non-RV guests. They even have propane filling, golf cart rentals, and a dump station. It’s a great mix of peaceful nature and plenty to do.

    The campground is huge and wooded, with tons of shade and a very peaceful, quiet, and family-friendly atmosphere. There are two beaches — one near the main camp side and another closer to long-term spots and day visitors. We brought our e-bikes and loved riding around the scenic roads and loops.

    The bathhouses were older but very clean and air-conditioned, and we felt completely safe the entire time. There’s a gated entrance at night with code access, which is a nice extra touch. The store staff were super friendly and helpful, even giving us some history on the campground. The greeter at the front gate wasn’t the warmest, but that didn’t impact our stay at all.

    There’s no Wi-Fi, but T-Mobile worked just enough for us to use a hotspot to stream TV at night. Cell service is limited but manageable.

    It’s also very easy to find, just a few minutes off the main road with a gas station and small town nearby, and only about 30 minutes from Hattiesburg.

    We will 100% be back and have already told several friends about it. If you’re looking for a peaceful, activity-filled campground that’s off the radar but worth every mile, Little Black Creek is it. Truly one of the best surprises we’ve had camping!

    Paul B. Johnson State Park Campground

    Pleasantly surprised

    We had the good fortune of finding this gem as an overnight waypoint on a recent trip to Florida. We found an asphalt pad with full hookups overlooking Lake Geiger for our Sprinter Camper van. Friendly staff. Good value. Primitive sites were still closed. The park features the Lake set in a tall pine forest and was near capacity but did not feel crowded or loud. We were only sorry that we did not budget enough time to enjoy all this place has to offer. We will not make that mistake next time!

    Big Creek Water Park

    Great overnight stay

    Located between Collins & Laurel MS. Camped here in a camper van while visiting relatives in Laurel. Most sites accommodate big rigs, but there are a few tent sites as well. Popular campground; recommend reservations. We didn't have a reservation, but we were able to camp in site 18. Most sites are large with good separation between them. Wooded, but almost no privacy between sites. Quiet, secure. Good folks running it. We'll maintained grounds. The restroom/shower house was clean. There is a laundry room. Beach at lake. Folks fishing at lake. AT&T service okay. T-Mobile weaker.

    Turkey Fork Rec Area

    De Soto National Forest

    This is a nice little fishing-focused area within the northern part of large national forest. The large lake has swimming, fishing, and boating so plan to be on the water all day. There is a nice shady area along the lake with picnic tables and grills. The hiking trail is very short. We spent half a day here relaxing while on a road trip and the mellow atmosphere was just perfect. Convenient to and from Hattiesburg/rt 59 as well as from Mobile.

    Yay: Campground is nice and shady and all the sites are close to the water. Clean with basic facilities. Simple but nice nature setting. Close to trails in the national forest.

    Nay: No complaints, but if you don’t have a boat there’s not much to do on site.

    Surprise: They stock the lake with fish. Loved walking out onto the pier.

    Lake Perry Campground

    Fishing, Fishing, and Fishing

    Lake Perry, Beaumont, MS: We stopped for an overnight stay. Worked fine. Most sites have an unhindered view of the lake. Currently, the fallen brown leaves and leafless deciduous trees do not make this campground inviting. I imagine the scenery is much more attractive in spring and into fall. However ,must be gorgeous those two times of year. This is a very old campground. Facilities are old. To Do: Fish and fish. The host, Joey, will go out of his way for you. (Scale 1- bad, 5-Very good

    (70 yr olds in 17’ trailer) Overall Rating: 3.5 Price 2023: $ 15 for seniors. Security: No gate Usage during visit: 10% Site Privacy: None Site Spacing: A few sites are closer than desirable. Most are okay. Site surface: Concrete Reservations: First-come, first-serve Campground Noise: Quiet, but one site did not try to control their dachshund’s barking. I hope this isn’t indicative of usual behavior. Road Noise: None Through Traffic in campground: No Electric Hookup: Yes Sewer Hookup: No Dump Station: No Potable Water Available: At site Bathroom: Flush. Very old, but Showers: Very ugly Pull Throughs: No Cell Service (AT&T): Okay Setting: View of lake. Host: Yes Rig Size: A large 5 th wheel had to leave as there was not a site large enough. Our site, #1, was the only site the trailer would have fit.

    Clearwater RV Park

    Nice, relaxing, quiet rv park

    Me and my husband wanted a nice little getaway from the house so we decided to try out Clear water. It’s a very nice and relaxing rv park. I told my hubby it’s a retirement home but for campers 😅 a lot of snow birds from Michigan! We had a great time especially loved the fire ring we had on our lot which was great to have during the cold weather. Most of the other campgrounds I’ve been to haven’t had any kind of fire rings. The man that runs it takes very good care of the campground and when you buy firewood he actually bring it to you at your lot which was really great! They had a beautiful lit up pond with a fountain and water wheel at night. We had our two daughters with us which they loved going on a walk around the park and looking at the ducks. Just about everyone is friendly there. I’m going to go ahead and give it 5 stars but I wish there would have been a playground in the campground, but I understand they typically have snowbirds and not a lot of young couples with kids. But it was still nice and we really enjoyed it! They had a park down the road so we decided to just drive and take the girls to it. There is also a family dollar/dollar tree and a dollar general down the road which was about less then 4-5 mins away which was great and very convenient.

    Little Black Creek Campground & Park

    Peace and Tranquility

    Seriously one of the more relaxing parks we've been to in a while. Plenty of space between sites, lots of trees and water views! We were in site 4, which was quite level and easy to back in to. Also had full hookups!!! No loud golf carts this week either! Our site was around 35 dollars a night with taxes. Family and pet friendly.

    Forest County Multi-Purpose Events Center

    quick overnight

    Was alright for a quick overnight. Really needs some better maintenance and cleaning especially restrooms. Some “long term” RVs set up, pretty quiet though. Price increased to $25.

What to do

Fishing opportunities: Paul B. Johnson State Park Campground features fishing in Geiger Lake with no boating restrictions. "The lake is nice in the summer for fishing and swimming, but if you're looking for a large boating area this ain't it," notes one camper.

Walking trails: Campers can explore nature paths at multiple parks. "There are walking trails that look lovely," mentions a visitor to Hattiesburg / Okatoma River KOA, while another Paul B. Johnson visitor reports "We did a small amount of hiking on a very nice, easy trail."

Water recreation: Several parks offer water-based activities. "Start your day by checking in and doing one of the two kayaking trips this place has to offer and end your day by the fire right next to the river," recommends a Hattiesburg / Okatoma River KOA guest.

Disc golf: The Paul B. Johnson State Park features "two 18 hole disc golf courses" according to a recent visitor, making it a popular destination for disc golf enthusiasts staying in the area.

What campers like

Peaceful settings: Many RV parks offer quiet environments away from city noise. "Quiet and clean RV Park," notes a visitor to Mike's Place RV Park.

Well-maintained facilities: Cleanliness ranks high among camper priorities. A visitor to Wiggins Campground & RV Park appreciated "Security cameras throw out the park. Have handicap bathrooms and Laundry room. Very clean throw out the park. Place to walk your dogs."

Lake views: Waterfront campsites receive positive feedback. "Our site was lakeside on a hill leading down to a pier that jutted into the lake," shares a Paul B. Johnson camper, while another notes "We found an asphalt pad with full hookups overlooking Lake Geiger."

Pet amenities: Dog-friendly features get mentioned frequently. "We were able to bring all of our pups to the enclosed dog play area that had a great big shade tree to run and run and run. Poop bags and garbage cans were convenient there and throughout the park," reports a visitor to Sleepy Hollow RV Park.

What you should know

Site conditions vary: Levelness can be inconsistent at some parks. A visitor to Paul B. Johnson noted, "Our site was level but not all in the park are," while another mentioned "Pads were mostly small with biggish drop off from steps to camper usable site."

Peak season crowds: Weekend occupancy increases significantly during summer months. "The weekend we were there in November was jammed packed but it seems to clear out during the week when kids go back to school. There were lots of people aimlessly driving around in golf carts, kids running through our site, and plenty of loud music."

Nearby military activity: Camp Shelby proximity affects some parks. "Camp Shelby is nearby, so you'll hear various noises from that (not overly distracting but I wish I would have known before arriving)," shares a Paul B. Johnson camper.

Maintenance varies: Some parks maintain facilities better than others. "You can tell this was a good park in its hey day. Those days are gone... Doesn't look like the park had had proper maintenance in 15-20 years," notes one Paul B. Johnson visitor.

Tips for camping with families

Splash pad access: Four Seasons RV Park offers convenient amenities including a laundry room with reasonable rates. "They have a nice 'laundry' room and can't beat $1.50/washer & $1.00 for dryer. A short drive to Hattiesburg," notes one visitor.

Swimming options: Multiple parks feature water recreation for children. "They had a nice little pool. Nothing fancy, but just what the kids needed," reports a Sleepy Hollow RV Park visitor.

Playground facilities: Several campgrounds offer dedicated play areas. One Hattiesburg / Okatoma River KOA reviewer mentioned the park has "a playground for children" among its amenities, making it suitable for family stays.

Space for group camping: Paul B. Johnson works well for multi-family trips. "If you want to just get out and chill, then this is the spot. What we like about Paul B is that if you have a group of friends, you can probably get a bunch of spots in the same area and take over a section of the park and hang out all weekend nearby."

Tips from RVers

Big rig considerations: Site dimensions and access vary between parks. A Sleepy Hollow visitor advises, "Lots of turns so go slow and know your rig."

Hookup locations: Connection points may require extra equipment at some parks. "The connections were quite spread out with the water pretty far back from the other connections at this site (we needed two water hoses)," notes a Paul B. Johnson camper.

Proximity to supplies: Magnolia Sands RV Park offers easy access to necessities. "The nearby town of Wiggins has everything you'll need! Restaurants, grocery stores and fuel," mentions a visitor.

Site selection strategy: Experienced RVers recommend researching specific sites. "We were camping with some friends and we both have 45' RVs so we picked two side by side pull-thrus. However, all those pull-thru sites were super close together and right on top of the people on each side of us. We decided to go find other back-in sites and were glad we did because it gave us more room between sites and we had a great lake view."
