    Atwood Water Park

    Peaceful retreat

    My husband and I spent three nights here. It was a peaceful stay with a paved walking track and boat ramp. I would stay here again. They were working on improvements and could very well become a four star getaway with a little work. Trash, Bathrooms and bathhouse on-site.

    LeFleur's Bluff State Park Campground

    Cypress trees and cement pads

    Remember to check your email for your gate access code the gentleman ahead of us did not and it took awhile to get in after a long day of driving. The site we had was right next to the lake which had an active fish population, two gators, and several kayaks. The bathhouse is up on stilts/pillings it was clean and made of logs. the electric service looked new and the water pressure was good. We sat outside even in the 98+ heat to see the activity on the lake. This campground is right off of the interstate but feels like you are in the country.

    Giving the pros and cons

    I tent camped on site 2. The BBQ pit was not there on this site. The tent pad was rocky (not sand) so bring a sleeping bad or air mattress if you’re tent camping. Also bring a long extension cord.

    Was nice being in front of the water and saw quite a bit of birds. The campground was quiet and relaxing despite being in the middle of the city. The bathrooms were ehhh. Not sure of the men’s, but the women’s only had one useable stall. Three stalls total - on without a door and one was out of order. I didn’t use the showers but definitely weren’t the greatest looking showers I’ve seen at a state park.

    I saw a ton of deer, birds, and squirrels and the walking trails were nice and led up to the natural science museum.

    The primitive area looked nice for tent camping but basically the same amount of privacy as the spots with electricity and water. Just depends what you’re wanting out of the camping trip.

    Groomed park in the wilderness.

    Beautiful park. Could use just a little more space. Lots of wildlife and amenities. Cabins, laundry, pavilions, pool, propane and store.

    Excellent campground

    We camped here Sept. 20-22 while we were in town to volunteer at the Sanderson Farms PGA golf tournament. I was very impressed with the amenities such as the laundry room, pool and bath house. The bath house was very clean and has private showers. The staff was very helpful. It is located right on the Ross Barnett Reservoir so it is a beautiful area. If you need anything, there is a Kroger grocery store right across the street from the campground. I was very satisfied and will stay there again for future tournaments.

    Hattiesburg / Okatoma River KOA

    Best KOA we've visited

    This was the nicest campground we stayed at on our 4 week trip.  Our level site was on a lovely pond, with a friendly duck. This is the first architecturally designed KOA facility I've seen in two years of camping in our RV. It looked new. It was nicely done. The pool is a good size, the communal kitchen area has barstools on two sides. They had two TVs and an inside/outside fireplace. The bathrooms have granite countertops, and very nice tile. I wish we'd brought our dog because they had a professional quality bathing/grooming room with a professional dog dryer. There are walking trails that look lovely. The woman who checked us in couldn't have been nicer, as was everyone we encountered at the campground. I wish we'd been able to stay longer and we hope to come back soon.

    Timberlake Campground

    This is a great place for a family looking to camp with hotel like feel l. It literally has everything. This campground wasn't quite my style but we were in the area and needed to spend the night. SA beautiful place none the less. RV sites, tent, monthly rentals. Disc golf course was a huge plus since I love disc golf. It would be great for a family looking to camp but almost have to comfort of hotel like settings!

    We arrived late. Interaction with host was pleasant. Cooked dinner and went to bed. Played a game of disc golf in the morning which was great. But the 15$ camp charge we just weren't used to haha.


Guide to Raleigh

Glamping opportunities near Raleigh, Mississippi range across several counties with the region characterized by rolling pine forests and humidity levels averaging 70-80% throughout summer months. The area features both privately-operated glamping resorts and state-managed waterfront campgrounds within 30-45 minutes of town. Most sites sit at elevations between 300-400 feet above sea level, creating distinctive drainage patterns that affect campsite selection during rainy seasons.

What to do

Water recreation options: Turkey Creek Water Park offers more than standard swimming with multiple water-based activities. "By 'water park' they mean 'park with recreation activities on the water' not a man made park with slides and rides. This was devastating news for our friend's young daughter! Enjoy fishing and especially water skiing with your own boat or a boat rented on site," notes a visitor who extended their stay.

Hiking trails: Wooded paths surround several glamping sites close to Raleigh, Mississippi. "There are walking trails that look lovely," mentions a camper at Hattiesburg / Okatoma River KOA. The trails feature moderate terrain suitable for most fitness levels.

Wildlife viewing: Local waterways support diverse animal sightings. "We got to see alligators and a beaver while there. It's a very fun park in the middle of town. You would Never know it though!" reports one LeFleur's Bluff visitor. Early morning hours (5:30-7:30am) typically provide optimal wildlife viewing conditions.

Historical structures exploration: Dunn's Falls Water Park contains preserved buildings from earlier eras. "Nice historical building. I was the only camper there when I stayed. Very quiet," notes a visitor who appreciated the solitude and architectural features.

What campers like

Lake settings: Multiple glamping properties feature lakefront positioning. "Our site was on the lakes edge, had visits from geese, ducks, rabbits and squirrels. Beautiful and very clean area," shared a visitor at Yogi on the Lake - Jellystone Pelahatchie, highlighting the wildlife interactions possible.

Spacious campsites: Many campgrounds provide adequate spacing between sites. At Big Creek Water Park, a camper noted, "Sites are roomy. All the things you need-electricity water fire ring and concrete picnic table. Lake playground. Bath house with flush toilets."

Cleanliness standards: Well-maintained facilities receive frequent positive mentions. "Very clean! The slides were awesome and the tent camping were good," commented a Jellystone visitor who appreciated the site upkeep despite high temperatures.

Security features: Some properties implement controlled access. "Gate to park locks at 5pm (key provided at check in) which is nice for security," noted a Dunn's Falls Water Park visitor, highlighting the safety measures implemented at certain locations.

What you should know

Reservation requirements: Peak season demand necessitates advance booking at most properties. "Popular campground; recommend reservations. We didn't have a reservation, but we were able to camp in site 18," shared a LeFleur's Bluff State Park visitor who managed to secure a last-minute spot.

Site conditions vary: Quality differences exist both between and within campgrounds. At Timberlake Campground, a visitor warned: "This campground looked wonderful on the surface. Parts of it is very well cared for & maintained, but a large area needs serious attention. Our site was in that area. The concrete pads were badly broken & uneven."

Weather considerations: The region's climate affects activity planning. "We stopped quick passing through and it was nice an quiet. Seemed like they had a lot of water activities for summer time," observed a Yogi on the Lake visitor during off-season travel.

Pest management: Insects present challenges during warmer months. "There are gnats...and more gnats...and more gnats so be prepared for that," advised a LeFleur's Bluff camper who encountered abundant insects during their stay.

Tips for camping with families

Water temperature awareness: Heated water features extend the swimming season. "Water park is heated which I didn't know and wished we brought swim suits," noted a Timberlake Campground visitor who missed an opportunity for water recreation during cooler months.

Activity scheduling: Structured programming enhances family experiences. "Pool, slides, jumping pad, playground, mini golf, tennis, basketball, planned activities each day for family fun," detailed a Jellystone visitor who appreciated the organized entertainment options.

Proximity conveniences: Some campgrounds offer easy access to supplies. "Jackson MS LeFleur's Bluff SP Small state park with 30 sites w/e only on small lake... Great location to explore Jackson MS. Verizon 3 bars on 4g," noted a visitor highlighting connectivity and urban access despite the natural setting.

Campground-specific expectations: Setting appropriate expectations improves family satisfaction. "We spent a weekend in Jellystone in October here and had a tent site... The trick or treating is the best. Start right when you can because there are so many sites offering candy or haunted areas," recommended a visitor regarding seasonal programming.

Tips from RVers

Site leveling challenges: Terrain issues affect setup at some locations. "The rv gravel pads were extremely un-level, even after waiting 2 hours, watching them add 7 tractor buckets of gravel the pad was still un-level and they finally let us move our spot," cautioned a Yogi on the Lake visitor detailing infrastructure limitations.

Access considerations: Site positioning impacts convenience. "Our site was a very tight pull thru site. We definitely wouldn't of been able to pull out if the park was full. The site was very sloped so getting in the camper was difficult because the steps were so high off the ground," reported a visitor to Yogi on the Lake describing maneuverability challenges.

Camping layout benefits: Some properties feature thoughtful design elements. "Most sites are large with good separation between them. Wooded, but almost no privacy between sites. Quiet, secure," observed a Big Creek Water Park visitor commenting on the spatial arrangements.
