Horseback riding: For equestrian enthusiasts, Chickasaw provides specialized camping areas. "My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our maiden voyage to Chickasaw State Park this past weekend. The campsite for RVs was full so we decided to camp with the Wranglers! It was so beautiful and peaceful! We love horses so this was no problem for us," shares Brandon C., who visited the park's equestrian area.
Fishing and boating: Pin Oak Campground at Natchez Trace State Park offers multiple water-based activities. "Pin Oak is the only motor lake.

What campers like
Cabin variety: Thousand Trails Cherokee Landing provides cabin options for those seeking alternatives to tent camping. "We got cabins for the family, they were very nice (bring your own sheets, towels, and food, they had basic cookware and dining ware but ours is in the camp bin so we used what we brought and were used to)," explains Kim B., who appreciated the well-equipped cabins.
Lake views: J.P. Coleman State Park Campground offers cabin sites with water views. "We stayed on campsite #55. It was back away from the water but we had a clear view to the water. Beautiful park," notes Laura D., highlighting the scenic setting of this Mississippi park just across the state line.
Clean facilities: Many cabin campers appreciate well-maintained shower facilities. "Bathrooms were clean with plenty of warm water. They have vending machine, washer/dryer on site. They also have small playground at entrance and small area of mini golf," reports amber about J.P. Coleman State Park, noting the additional amenities available.
What you should know
Reservation requirements: Campgrounds with cabins typically require advance booking. "When I first arrived at Pinson Mound it was a little before the park itself closed, to late for me to really go explore the site so I instead had to return the second day," explains Crystal C. about Pinson Mounds Group Camp, adding "it is by reservation only so you have to plan in advance to be allowed to stay on property."
Bring your own supplies: Most cabin accommodations require guests to bring personal items. At Pin Oak Campground, small cabins have limited amenities. "There is no indoor water just beds, electric and air for a great price," notes Beth LeVar L. about the cabins at Pin Oak.
Seasonal considerations: Many park facilities have limited operations during off-peak times. "There is a small swimming area too at Pin Oak... Cub lake has a larger swim area with paddle boat, Jon boat and kayak rentals. The rentals are only weekends," explains Beth LeVar L., pointing out the weekend-only availability of certain amenities.
Tips for camping with families
Water activities: Serendipity Resort offers multiple water-based activities for children. "We were there for 3 days and my kids used the water park. They had a blast on the jumpers and got very wore out," reports Nathan B., who explains the pricing structure: "The water park is a $20 charge a piece on the first day and goes down to $10 a day for the rest of your stay."
Playground access: Several parks include playground facilities for younger children. At J.P. Coleman State Park, amber notes they "have small playground at entrance and small area of mini golf," providing additional entertainment options beyond the cabin area.
Check bathhouse conditions: Bathroom cleanliness varies significantly between parks and seasons. "The bathrooms are a bit of a walk from the sites. They have a shower house by the water park area. The stalls are toilet/shower combo," explains Nathan B. about Serendipity Resort, highlighting accessibility considerations for families with young children.
Tips from RVers
Site selection: At Parkers Crossroads RV Park and Campground, cabin and RV sites vary in quality. "Nice campground, WiFi included. Quiet enough. Stayed in campsite 4, small but fine for our pop up," reports Matthew M., who appreciated the site amenities despite size limitations.
Maintenance expectations: RVers note significant differences in maintenance between parks. "The sites on my passenger (viewing) side were not occupied or I would have been billboarded. The sites are very close together but the season is apparently over," explains Butch K. about Serendipity Resort, pointing out the proximity of neighboring sites.
Leveling considerations: Many cabin and RV sites in the region require leveling. "The Trailer/RV loop is on the side of a hill. It was amazing the way they got so many half way level sites into this area," reports Gary P. about Chickasaw State Park Campground, noting the terrain challenges that affect site quality.
