    Movietown RV Park

    Nice size TV park w cabins

    Thanks dyrt for pointing us here. For 30$ a night u get a level gravel drive thru spot electric, sewer, water, and wifi,laundry facilities and bath house very very clean. Very quiet all thru the day and night. Friendly people all round. 5 min to walmart, tractor supply, and many restaurants and gas stations. Spacious lots so you arent right up on each other. Theres rental lots and cabins by the night, week and month. Theres saved spaces for those who just want a pulling over night. Theres big rigs here and small ones. Vintage and brand new. These are friendly people you can sit a chair or 2 outside and not have someone pounding on your door at 7am yelling about a toy or a chair left out all night. This is our face in canton so far. Lovely place with country atmosphere. Pet friendly and spacious. All u need is right here. Thank you ms. Kay and staff.

    Roosevelt State Park Campground

    Excellent state park!

    We loved our stay. Beautiful park, nice campsites, heated and clean bathroom, best spots are on the lake. We stayed in spot 15 and it was beautiful.

    A couple reasons I didn’t give it 5 stars, even though we loved it. First, we reserved a spot weeks prior and someone was in it when we arrived around 5pm. The park was very helpful and accommodating once we found the right phone number. I wish they would put signs on the reserved spots to avoid the hassle.

    Second, they do not sell firewood here anymore, but there is a gas station across the street that does.

    Also, the fire ring and the table/grill are on opposite sides on the parking spaces and there are no cooking grates on the fire ring unfortunately. But the grill was very clean!

    But seriously, would recommend!!! Just want to help our fellow campers out with some details of the digs!

    Roosevelt State Park Campground

    This is what a State Park should look like!

    Smooth paved roads, level concrete pads, picnic tables that will seat 8, fire ring and grill at each site.. This park has been completely remodeled and they did a fantastic job. Pull thru's and back in's available.

    We stopped on our return trip home for one night, so we did not check out the bathhouse/showers.

    No senior discount 

    Site 88 concrete parking pad all cracked and heaved made for difficult leveling 

    5ft wide campsite fire ring…biggest we’ve ever seen! 

    Numerous HOMESTEADERS throughout CCC campground. Made campground very “junky” looking with all their “stuff ” piled around in their campsite 

    Park roadway in very poor condition, potholes connected to potholes!  Potholes keep speed at 10 mph or less

    Able to hear Interstate 20 road noise

    Dunns Falls Water Park

    Okay for one night

    Camping area is about five tables and grills scattered on edge of property. No real sites (no tent pads, no fire rings). Surprisingly little regulation: fires allowed anywhere, swimming “not recommended.” The friendly camp hosts actually encouraged me to camp in the day use/picnic area, since it is closer to the flush restrooms. Water spigots scattered around but most don’t work. Gate to park locks at 5pm (key provided at check in) which is nice for security. Clean area. Close to a highway but few cars traveling at night. I was the only person camping on a weekday.

    $15/night. Not bad considering the locking gate and restrooms with water. The historical structures are neat, as is the waterfall. The whole park can be explored in less than an hour, so I can’t imagine staying multiple nights.

    Okatibbee Lake Waterpark

    RV park

    RV campgrounds on Lake Okatibbee in Lauderdale County, MS. The pads are asphalt and have electric, water, and sewer connections. They also have picnic table in good shape and a steel picnic grill. This is not a fancy park, but it is decent. It has a bath house- restroom and showers. It also has washer and dryers. The bath house is in pretty good shape- they keep it fairly clean. The staff is very nice. Most of the pads are in the woods with a few pads overlooking the water- none are on the water. We tent camp, but there are no primitive sites here. There are a few cabins that are closer to the water. This is a place we will come back and stay.

    Peaceful & beautiful!

    Such a nice RV Park. We stayed in spot #1 and had a beautiful view of the lake, nice fire pit and picnic table. Our kids and babies loved feeding the ducks and walking around the lake. It was really clean and beautiful. Staff was super helpful and friendly. My only wish was that there was a playground for our kids but they said they have one ordered for this year. :). Can’t wait to stay again!

Guide to Walnut Grove

Cabin rentals around Walnut Grove, Mississippi offer easy access to recreational activities at Strong River and Marathon Lake. The region sits near the Bienville National Forest with multiple waterways providing both fishing and paddling opportunities. Most locations operate year-round with peak season running May through September when average temperatures reach 90°F.

What to do

Kayaking on Strong River: DLo Water Park features river access with equipment rentals and shuttle service. "Plenty of river to explore and shuttles to pick you up after a float too. Good fishing, and good river banks. Very scenic tent camping, with the river right behind you," notes camper James A.

Disc golf courses: Timberlake Campground offers an on-site disc golf course near Ross Barnett Reservoir. According to one visitor, "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."

Hiking trails: Roosevelt State Park Campground maintains marked forest trails for day hikes. "The trails are an addition to the park. We love to get out and walk the woods. The old campground is where we like to stay. Mostly quiet and this is the side with the primitive tent camping," shares Bruce F.

What campers like

Clean bathhouse facilities: Many cabin accommodations near Walnut Grove provide access to well-maintained shower facilities. At Wendy Oaks RV Resort, guests note "The shower/toilet area was large and very clean. This place is right off the highway, so if you're noise sensitive you might want to consider that."

Waterfront sites: Cabin rentals with lake views remain popular across multiple locations. "We stayed in spot #1 and had a beautiful view of the lake, nice fire pit and picnic table. Our kids and babies loved feeding the ducks and walking around the lake," reports a Wendy Oaks visitor.

Concrete pads: DLo Water Park provides solid foundations for campsites. "Sites are nice and level with cement pads and picnic tables and grills. Two playgrounds for the kids," shares camper Bille W., though they noted bathroom facilities could use improvement.

What you should know

Seasonal closures: Marathon Lake in Bienville National Forest operates with limited availability from March through December. During early 2022, one visitor reported: "Unfortunately we were unable to get in, a sheriff at the gate turned us around."

Site quality varies: At Movietown RV Park in Canton, cabin rentals come with different amenities. "Nice campground. Clean place and friendly staff. This is a good stop to stay a night when needed. Not very private and just a camper lot without any nice views, picnic tables, etc," notes April J.

Wildlife awareness: Snake populations affect water activities in warmer months. A local visitor to DLo Water Park warns: "There are a lot of poisonous snakes at this spot so be aware of your surroundings."

Tips for camping with families

Water activities: Yogi on the Lake - Jellystone Pelahatchie offers comprehensive water-based recreation near Walnut Grove. "So much fun, so much to do! We stayed on the lakes edge, had visits from geese, ducks, rabbits and squirrels. Beautiful and very clean area. Pool, slides, jumping pad, playground, mini golf, tennis, basketball, planned activities each day for family fun," writes Shirley B.

Heated pools: Some Jellystone facilities maintain warm water even during cooler months. One camper mentions: "Water park is heated which I didn't know and wished we brought swim suits."

Holiday activities: Jellystone coordinates special events during peak seasons. "We spent a weekend in October here and absolutely loved it. We had a tent site and my only complaint about that was a leaking spicket that drained onto campsites. The trick or treating is the best," shares Melissa G.

Tips from RVers

Late arrival options: For cabins near Walnut Grove requiring after-hours check-in, Turkey Creek Water Park accommodates late travelers. "Small campground on a lake. Pretty and quiet. Recent work on campsites to create level sites. Enjoy camping there," reports Nelwyn B.

Grocery access: Timberlake Campground provides convenient shopping with a Kroger directly across from the property. "If you need anything, there is a Kroger grocery store right across the street from the campground," notes Brad G.

Site selection: Choose locations carefully based on terrain. At Roosevelt State Park, "Best spots are in the 14-17 area flatter that others. Some spots are very narrow and drop off as soon as you leave the pad. Spots in the 'older' area seem more spaced out," advises Grant C.
