Fishing opportunities: Fishing is popular at several lakes around Wiggins. "Site 141 was in a very wooded area at the far end of all three RV areas. Had a beautiful view of the water where you could fish," writes a visitor to Flint Creek Waterpark. Most lakes are stocked and require Mississippi fishing licenses.

What campers like
Spacious, private sites: Flint Creek Waterpark offers well-spaced camping areas. "Different sections allow folks to feel like they are away from crowds. Price is absolutely reasonable and there is night security by staff and local law enforcement," says one reviewer. Most sites provide ample distance between neighbors for privacy.
Lake views: Many cabins and sites provide direct water access. "We stayed at a full hookup RV site and were blown away by how spacious, level, and private it was. Most sites had wooden decks, and many had lake views or direct access, including ours, which had stairs leading right down to the water," reports a camper at Little Black Creek.
Shade coverage: The wooded settings provide natural temperature control. "Lots of shade and trees. Bring bug spray. The beaches are nice for campers," notes a visitor to Flint Creek. This shade becomes particularly valuable during hot Mississippi summers when temperatures regularly exceed 90°F.
Halloween festivities: Little Black Creek Campground hosts special seasonal events. "We stayed the weekend before Halloween and it was a very busy weekend in the campground. Some sites were extravagantly decorated and trick or treating following a golf cart parade was fun," writes a camper. Many campgrounds in the area organize seasonal activities.
What you should know
Weather considerations: The region experiences hot, humid summers and occasional severe weather. "We stayed during the second weekend of Dec. weather was brisk with a small amount of rain on Saturday," notes a Flint Creek Waterpark visitor. Hurricane season runs June through November with potential for heavy rain events.
Site levelness varies: Many sites require adjustment for RVs. "The only issue I had with the spots were they were all uneven, but somehow I was able to level my 37' travel trailer on the first try without any leveling aids," mentions a camper at Flint Creek. Bringing leveling blocks is recommended.
Bathroom facilities: Quality of facilities differs between parks. "Bathhouses were older but very clean and air-conditioned," reports a camper at Little Black Creek. Flint Creek has received some critical comments: "Bath houses need updated." Consider bringing portable shower equipment during peak season.
Cell service limitations: Connectivity can be spotty in the Wiggins area. "There's no Wi-Fi, but T-Mobile worked just enough for us to use a hotspot to stream TV at night. Cell service is limited but manageable," reports a Little Black Creek camper. Download maps and information before arrival.
Tips for camping with families
Water park options: Paul B. Johnson State Park offers water-based activities for children. "There is a splash pad, lake swimming, and several picnic areas near the visitor center that would be awesome for kids and families when the weather is warmer," shares a visitor. The splash pad typically operates May through September.
Wildlife viewing opportunities: The parks around Wiggins host diverse wildlife. "We did encounter coyote, deer, and lots of talkative geese, so be prepared for some wildlife interaction," notes a Flint Creek visitor. Bring binoculars for bird watching as many species inhabit the area.
Nature trails for kids: Short trails accommodate young hikers. "My husband and I are 4H Outdoor Skills Instructors. We took our class on their first hike here. The kids as well as the adults had a good time. The Nature Trail was a little short (under an hour) but that is perfect for little kids," writes a visitor to Little Black Creek.
Playground access: Several campgrounds feature playground equipment. "The playground is small and sweet," according to a Little Black Creek camper. Check playground proximity when booking sites with children.
Tips from RVers
Site selection strategy: Water view sites fill quickly at most parks. "The best sites are the first come first serve sites. These sites are in the Mohawk area. I would avoid the Kahaka area if you want a beach area as there isn't one," advises a visitor to Flint Creek Waterpark. Make reservations 2-3 months ahead for weekend stays.
Hookup considerations: Wiggins Campground & RV Park offers full connections. "Nice and quit. Security cameras throw out the park. Have handicap bathrooms and Laundry room. Very clean throw out the park. Place to walk your dogs," notes a camper. Most parks provide water, electric, and sewer at RV sites.
Water spigot heights: Some utilities require special attention. "The only thing I had negative review of was how low the water spigot was in the ground," mentions a Flint Creek camper. Bring extension hoses and various connector types for different hookup configurations.
