I had a horrible experience at this campsite. Rolled up to find one (miserable) couple there. They were blasting music out of their car which is whatever and I waved hello and they just stared. Multiple cars came thru the campsite at night, shining their headlights every which way. Even though it says don’t enter past a certain point unless you are camping, this is clearly a spot for locals to do what they cannot do at home. At 2am I hear barking and one of my dogs busts through my tent. I go out there and there is a pack of wild dogs scouring the campsite. They weren’t terrifying or coming at us, but it was still scary. No more than 10 mins later two cars surround my tent with headlights, which is really scary for anyone, but I am a young woman traveling alone. Apparently the couple called the cops saying my dogs had been barking all night. There was brief barking and it was the wild dogs who were actually eating the trash the evil couple left out. Even if my dogs were barking, why is surrounding my tent with only headlights at 2am appropriate? I couldn’t see anything. Never saw a ranger, immediately left in the morning. Sorry for the essay, just hope to spare someone a similar experience. It is beautiful tho.
Guide
The lake is currently drained because they are working on the dam. Made reservations online. Pretty much all the sites I thought would be easy to get into were reserved, so I chose this one. Website said it was good for 53' unit and 2 vehicles. We have a 36' 5th wheel and it was a little difficult to get in. Someone previously knocked down the site number post. I also had a problem with the post for site 31 being in the way. I finally just backed in by driving on the grass. It only fits the 2 vehicles if each one has 2 tires in the grass. It turns out that all of those reserved sites online were empty. There is hardly anyone here. It would have been nice to have one of those angled for better entry. Other than the empty lake and difficult backing in it is a nice park. Standard COE fare.
GuideThis place was absolutely gorgeous. I was alone in the campground both nights i was there with a couple of people coming in during the day to have lunch at one of the picnic tables.
I might have worked on my tanlines 🤫
I fit pretty good in my 24' motorhome but woupd be leery of something too much bigger.
Do not try to come at night. It is pitch black and steep drop offs.
Really nice set up for tents if thwt is your thing.

This might be one of my favorite places to camp on Enid lake. It is a favorite for many locals and more off the beaten track. Has showers bathrooms playground boat ramp and beach for the campers and picnickers that come to the lake. RV spots with or without full hookup. Reservations available online
Traveler
This is a very popular camping area with very good fishing it is fairly well maintained with showers and bathrooms hookups for RVs tents etc mostly quiet and reservations can be made online. Close by many other camping areas on Enid lake, a general store, the hatchery, floating dock, fishing Pier on the channel, playgrounds, Beach, basketball, and corps of engineer field office.
TravelerWe have spent many nights fishing under the bridge. Haven't camped per se but many people fish the general area. There is parking lot and picnic area by the boat ramp. No amenities and if you want to explore other than the boat ramp area you need AWD or 4WD or it's a pretty good hike. This is more of an overnight fishing/parking/boating area for people passing through who don't require all the amenities of the campgrounds in the area.
Guide
Most of the campers you see here are RVs. We camped in tent, wish they had tent pads. Good view of the lake, nice clean bathroom. Spacious depending on which site you choose. We reached there in the night, the camp numbers were hard to read as they were painted on the floor. If you fish they have fish cleaning station in the campsite entrance.
Ranger
Small, quiet campground on reservoir. Plenty of space and privacy between sites. Concrete pad was level and ample. Any size rig could fit into these sites. Each site has its own garbage cans. Water and electric at each site. Dump station in campground. Verizon signal was good. Bathrooms had prison style toilets and showers were functional but dirty. Showers were in dire need of repair to floor and deep cleaning. Bathrooms were maintained daily but not adequately cleaned. No soap in bathroom, only air dryer for hands, no paper towels, no garbage can in bathrooms. There were unattended dogs on leashes/in crates at a couple of sites that barked aggressively when people passed by. Owners were absent for good part of day. Nearby lake access road passes right by campground is routinely used by locals. Not staffed by COE official.
Traveler
They have large flat sites. Some with full hookup some just P/W. Reserve on line. We were there in Feb not busy at all. COE was responsive to bathroom cleaning issue. Host was very friendly. Camp ground is very clean but went for a hike along the shore and the trash was off the chart!!!
ScoutThe campground hosts are excellent in this campground. It is well maintained and has many choices of sites from woodland to lake side.

We have stayed here many times on our way south in January and found it great Recently they installed sewer for full hookup in all sites This year we ended up staying for 6 weeks in the area on ACE campgrounds and 14 days here and we liked this best .
GuideStopover in January. Left one day early because of imminent weather on our route home. Otherwise would have stayed longer. Beautiful trees, lake, and drive. Enid Lake is big with lots of walkable shoreline. Bathhouse extra large and clean. It even smelled good if you can believe that. Large sites with elbow room. Our site 27 had great views with full Hookups. Site 30 would be optimal site with view and pull through.
TravelerGreat large sites. Everything is clean and well kept. Many sites on the water and pull through.
TravelerNice weekend, great weather, few bugs. The bathrooms were decent for campground bathrooms. Plenty of firewood to forage. Campsite was relatively clean. Neighbors were very close and made it hard to feel like I had any privacy.
I ended up leaving early because of a creepy experience with a man who made me feel uncomfortable…even unsafe. Crappy ending to an otherwise great weekend.
Traveler
Last minute stop at this small muni campground/park. Clean grounds with friendly host. Photo from our site #7 overlooking the lake. Non campers kicked out at 8pm and gates are locked. All campers get a key for after hours entry/exit. Beautiful little spot.
Traveler
Well maintained sites, BEAUTIFUL view of Sardis Lake just across the tree line
TravelerSmall campground attached to a public use park. Gated after dark with older but usable bathrooms and showers. Has a splash pad, a basketball court, and several piers on the lake for fishing. You can hear cows in the distance from across the lake.
Can’t beat the price at $22/night. We stopped in for a night in our teardrop trailer on our way farther up north.
Tupelo is 30 minutes away with the Elvis Birthplace museum and other attractions. There’s a gas station at the entrance to the park for snacks and ice.
Traveler
We reserved campsites 13 and 14, at the far end, behind the restrooms. You have to park in the parking lot and carry your stuff to the site. But it’s a tent-only campground and there were only a couple other tents there so it was quiet and peaceful. Our lots were large.
There was plenty of firewood to be collected on site.
There’s a boat launch but it didn’t add significant traffic or noise.
The bathrooms were…campsite bathrooms. Not the best, not the worst. No locked on stall doors. No soap. But the toilets flushed so there’s that.
Very pretty view of Sardis Lake.
The negatives: The flies!! They were so so bad! And bighty!! My poor dogs were covered in flies, as were we.
Other negative is just about a previous camper. At our site, we picked up literally a case’s worth of Coors beer bottle caps. Evidently they didn’t throw away a single one, even though garbage is provided and literally just right there.
RangerStayed here on a Sunday afternoon into Monday . I use to come as a young child and the campground still looks great . Nice hosts , solid Verizon cell service . Clean bath house . Many areas to access the water throughout the campground . Boat ramp is just around the corner .
RangerA great little spot with water and electric , pull through and some back in sites . It was very warm but we knew that , would go back in different seasons , easy place to walk to to fish and or swim opposite of the boat ramp . Quiet hardly any through traffic , good Verizon service with our booster . Clean bathrooms and showers .
ScoutWell kept park. Level pads with plenty of room. Stayed right on the lake and had a great weekend.
Traveler
Beautiful clean and safe for families or solo campers. Many water view spots and full hookups throughout the campground
TravelerStayed for a night. About 10 mins to town, try High on the Hog bbq. Bathrooms clean w running water. No showers. Good beach in the summer.
Guide
Good location as no other RV sites nearby Just passing through so only 1 night Water and electric Noisy and site on slight hill / could not get level Over priced for what you get
Scout
It’s a pleasant spot not many people, but we were there on a day. It was rainy, and the whole place flooded. Been there. A few times its a decent place when it’s dry but I would not want to be there when it rains.
TravelerThis place is beautiful! The sites are huge concrete pads. Lots of space in between. Bathrooms are clean and you can pick up firewood within the campground. No need to buy firewood!
TravelerThe view and proximity to the water is truly what makes this spot. All sites are tent sites so you have to be parked in the parking lot but we were the only ones there in early January so was easy to park as close as possible to a spot. There are restrooms at the entrance, all sites have a table, trash can and grill. We went in the off season so it was free!
