Five cabin campgrounds operate within a 30-mile radius of Starkville, Mississippi, including Starkville KOA and The Oaks RV Park. Most cabins feature electricity, air conditioning, and basic furnishings, while specific amenities vary by location. Lake Lowndes State Park offers lakefront cottage accommodations with full kitchens and separate bedrooms. "The cottage was nice and cozy. The view of the lake was beautiful in the mornings," noted one visitor at Lake Lowndes. Town Creek Campground near West Point also provides cabin rentals with water views, though facilities are more modest.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Starkville KOA cabins generally include beds and climate control but vary in kitchen facilities. The Oaks RV Park recently added cabins to their property, with one guest commenting that "the cabins were recently added and is a nice feature." Most properties maintain pet-friendly policies with certain restrictions, though Lake Lowndes State Park prohibits pets in their cottages. Reservations are essential during football weekends and university events when accommodations fill quickly.

Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen provisions vary widely—Lake Lowndes cottages offer full kitchens while more basic cabins may provide only a microwave and mini-fridge. Grocery stores and supply shops are located within a 12-minute drive of Starkville KOA, allowing campers to purchase essentials upon arrival. Natchez Trace RV Park cabins offer limited amenities, making it better suited for longer stays rather than overnight visits, according to reviewer feedback.

    Lake Lowndes State Park Campground

    Amazing, Enjoyable Experience

    Lake Lowndes is simply a place that every camper (primitive or RV) has to visit.  The staff from the ranger to the park host to the manager and everyone else is friendly and ready to help in any way.  The sites are paved, large and very easy to back into.  We have stayed at #43, #41, #1, #31 and #35 and we love them all.  31, 41, and 43 are the best.  There used to be an ant problem but the staff has fixed that tremendously - good job.  The park has a beautiful small lake for Boating, fishing, and other water sports as well.  Other things to do include an amazing frisbee golf course, tennis courts, softball fields, children’s playground, hiking, biking, and a huge admin building with many indoor games like pool and ping pong. The scenery is magnificent and we fell in love with the ducks, geese, and deer families that run around every night.  Picnic tables, grills, and fire pits at every site.  Do yourself a favor and visit this camp ground.

    Lake Lowndes State Park Campground

    Cottage Stay

    We stayed in Cottage 1 during our Thanksgiving vacation to visit family. The location was close to family in New Hope and the cottage was nice and cozy. The view of the lake was beautiful in the mornings and we also enjoyed a nice game of disc golf. I gave this stay a 4 out of 5 since there was no cell phone signal for Verizon once you entered the park even though it’s so close to the town of New Hope.

    Lake Lowndes State Park Campground

    Good times

    Really nice state park. Recently updated picnic tables. Nice quiet spots. We tent camped on a camper spot. Only complaint is that the showers could use a good remodeling, very dated. Other than that had a great time.

    Lake Lowndes State Park Campground

    Great campground!

    The park manager and workers are so nice and accommodating! I’ve stayed in the cabins and the primitive sites and both had wonderful views of the lake. The hiking trail that loops around the water is beautiful. My dog loves it too! It’s such a great place to go relax, have fun, grill out, and make memories.

    Natchez Trace RV Park

    Not a fan

    This campground is huge with tons of stuff to do for families and large groups. There are lakes, trails, riding trails, swimming pool, party house, cabins to rent just to name a few. RV sites are mostly long term and very full. If you are looking for just an overnight, my advice is to keep looking. Otherwise have a great week long stay at this campground.

    Natchez Trace RV Park

    Nice little park on the Trace

    Stopped here for a night traveling through Mississippi. It is a little out of the way, but quiet. You drive down the Natches trace to get here. The sites were large enough to relax, and the neighbors were not right on top of us. Bathroom was ok, but the shower was not working when we were there. Close to Tupelo if you like Elvis.

    Starkville KOA

    Extremely Peaceful

    The customer service was absolutely outstanding! 4 stars only because of lack of amenities for kids, however, they do have games to rent from office. Unfortunately the lake has mostly dried up and no longer hits the shoreline of the campground (apparently been this way for 6 years). They used to have what looked like an awesome beach area, water slides, boat ramps etc... but it has all fallen into disrepair which makes sense now that the water has receded. Our son and his buddy still had fun relaxing, throwing the ball around and playing a few games. WiFi was not great except for AT&T which means there must be an AT&T tower nearby. All stores, Walmart, restaurants etc.. are about a 12 minute drive away if needed. All in all, it was very relaxing. If they added a huge pool, I think it’d be a big hit.

Guide to Starkville

Cabin camping near Starkville, Mississippi encompasses options within a 30-mile radius in the eastern Mississippi region, where the terrain features gentle hills and mixed pine-hardwood forests. Most campgrounds experience moderate winters with occasional freezing temperatures and humid summers that regularly exceed 90°F. Lake-adjacent properties typically offer better natural cooling during summer months when cabin occupancy reaches peak levels.

What to do

Disc golf at Lake Lowndes: The state park features a complete disc golf course that accommodates beginners and experienced players. "The park has a nice playground for the younger kids and disc golf for the older kids. And the lake is great for fishing and kayaking," notes Linda O. from Lake Lowndes State Park Campground.

Wildlife observation: Early mornings provide opportunities to spot local wildlife around cabin areas. "We fell in love with the ducks, geese, and deer families that run around every night," reports Richard W. about his Lake Lowndes experience. The park's natural setting creates reliable viewing opportunities year-round.

Water activities: Several cabin locations offer direct water access for fishing and paddling. "We paddle in the area by the campground. Almost all motor boaters are very thoughtful in reducing their wake," explains Cyndi H. from Town Creek Campground, noting the variety of water users sharing the waterway.

What campers like

Clean facilities: Cabin guests frequently mention facility maintenance as a key satisfaction factor. "Bathrooms and showers were exceptionally clean. Grounds were clean. Very quiet place," reports Xander H. about his stay at Starkville KOA, where cabin guests share bathroom facilities with other campers.

Lake views: Waterfront cabins provide scenic morning perspectives. "We tent camped in the RV park with 4 dogs. Our campsite was perfect- right on the water, plenty of space," shares Devan T. about Lake Lowndes, where similar viewing opportunities exist from lakeside cabins.

Spacious sites: Cabin locations typically include outdoor living space with separation from neighbors. "The sites are paved, large and very easy to back into. We have stayed at #43, #41, #1, #31 and #35 and we love them all," notes Richard W. about the general camping area at Lake Lowndes where cabin accommodations follow similar spacing patterns.

What you should know

Reservation timing: Football weekends create high demand periods beyond those mentioned in existing descriptions. "Best to make reservations on line it fills up fast on weekends," advises Steve M. about Lake Lowndes State Park, where advance planning becomes especially important during fall sports seasons.

Cell service limitations: Connectivity varies significantly between properties. "I gave this stay a 4 out of 5 since there was no cell phone signal for Verizon once you entered the park even though it's so close to the town of New Hope," explains Christopher B. about Lake Lowndes cottages.

Insect preparation: Cabin guests should prepare for potential ant issues at certain locations. "At about 4:00 am, we awoke to find ants invading the trailer. The outside of the trailer was covered with thousands of ants," warns Terry P. about Lake Lowndes, suggesting cabin guests bring appropriate insect prevention measures.
