The primitive sites are amazing. Most overlook a small valley/bottom that allow for spectacular views and hiking."

LegendThis park is all concrete with level sites. Huge dog park and close to any type of store you might need. Clean facilities and very nice staff.
LegendMississippi does a great job of maintaining their COE campgrounds. Nice, spacious spots underneath large Pine trees. Water views and access to the Lower Lake. There is a popular swim beach, boat launch and boat dock. The spillway is also close by for fishing. Do not get this park confused with the John Kyle State Park Campground that is directly next to this one. This park is much nicer!
RangerThis is a little state park on the edge of the Holly Springs National Forest.
Yay: lovely easy hiking, lots of water activities, wooded campsites, simple and pretty. Nice basecamp also to explore the forest and nearby wildlife refuge.
Nay: not the fanciest campground, extremely basic but that’s not a problem for me. Close to a university, so one time we had a problem with rowdy college students, but the park rangers took care of it quickly and effectively! None of the campsites are right on the water, but some are a short walk.
Surprise: perfect stop on a road trip, close to Graceland!
GuideMy stay won't likely be like yours. First, I drove in while Mississippi was under a blanket of snow. All the roads in Holly Springs and the rest of the state were treacherous with packed snow and ice following a week of unseasonably frigid weather across the southern midwest.
That said, the 2 rangers working at Wall Doxey went out of their way to set me up with a parking place in the practically empty campground, putting me in the youth camp, finding me an extension cord to hook up to power and allowing me access to the group camp for a bathroom and shower.
This was necessary because many areas were either in the middle of renovation, inaccessible or out of service due to frozen pipes. To say these ladies went out of their way to get me situated is an understatement. They were heroines!
The camp has loads of retro charm. A big mid-century lodge, picnic area, swimming lake, frisbee golf and a 2 mile hiking trail around the lake. I enjoyed a walk thru the snow and the comfort of having a safe and caring place to stay during my trip through Mississippi.
I suspect it will be the same for you even if your visit is under far different circumstances.
GuideWe are only here for a few days during the week, but were assured that it would be packed on the weekends. Alot of locals come to use the lake, with a boat ramp right next to the campsites. The boys enjoyed swimming in the lake and riding their bikes around. The visitors center is worth a visit. 4/5 based on tons of dog poop, curbing of dogs is not enforced.
GuideWith less than 20 sites this is a small comfortable campground with full hookups. 30 minutes to Tupelo or Oxford, this place splits them down the middle. The site is a level concrete pad with 50/30 amp, water and sewer. The campground is next to a big county park with a playground, boat ramp and fishing docks. Nice walking paths along the lakes edge provides a great place for a view of the sunset. The camp manger is a nice as could be and reached out after I left to return something I left behind. A great small park easy to get to.
TravelerMississippi needs to put some funding behind the park, could be a real gem. Overall we had a great stay and I would recommend the campground.
ScoutNice park with pull through at late notice , great staff. Close to town but didn’t visit. Reasonable at $40. Some sites have Wi Fi I think. Short nice walk and area for dogs. Not far from freeway.
GuideCamped for two weeks in mid fall, October 2020. Full hookups, clean bath house. Family friendly. It is dated though. Play area available, small and quant. Roads are drivable of course but need to be funded, come on Mississippi and step up.. 15-20 minutes from a supercenter on West Main Street in Tupelo. Tupelo is lovely and where we actually live. This is the nearest campground my children 13, 10, and 4 stay at. The 4yo loves is, hiking and bike riding is what the older kids do. Nice lake for fishing, no swimming or wake.
Site we stayed at was level, and fully shaded.
