About
County
Welcome to the Grand Gulf Military Park! In May of 1962, the Grand Gulf Military Monument Park was officially opened, dedicated to preserving the memory of both the town and the battle in which occurred there. Located eight miles northwest of Port Gibson, Mississippi off Highway 61, this 450 acre landmark is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and includes Fort Cobun and Fort Wade, the Grand Gulf Cemetery, a museum, campgrounds, picnic areas, hiking trails, an observation tower, and several restored buildings dating back to Grand Gulf's heyday.
Camping is available at the Park's campground year round. There are 42 full hook-up concrete sites with water, sewer, and electric (30/50amp). Shower facilities are located close to both the upper and lower campgrounds. The laundry facility is located in the same building as the bathroom for the lower RVs.

ScoutFor a quiet place without cell signal.
This place is wonderful beautiful place. I should keep it a secret but i can share. Their are two locations one in a valley it an awesome spot only draw back no campfire because the smoke does not leave the valley it just collect between the two hills. The second is on a hill top. I LOVE THIS SPOT . IT A TALL HILL BUT YOU CAN MAKE IT. You have call to make your reservation and pay when you get their. It cost 25 a day well worth it. Call if you going be later then 5pm they lock the gate. They will give you lock comb. The pmt is also the tour . The museum and display. It has a road on the park about a mile with a 6 teir lookout tower. Try it for a quiet open spot, you will love it
