About This Location

Discover the quiet beauty of the Chickasawhay Ranger District. This year-round federal campground offers a peaceful escape among Mississippi's pine forests.

Nestled within the Chickasawhay Ranger District, this federal campground offers a serene escape into the heart of Mississippi's pine forests. Visitors are treated to a tranquil landscape defined by towering longleaf pines and lush, vibrant bracken ferns that carpet the forest floor. Whether you are visiting under bright, sun-dappled skies or during a misty, rain-softened day, the natural beauty of the region provides a quintessential woodland experience.

This site is primarily designed for those seeking a rustic, back-to-basics outdoor experience.
