Camping near Jonestown, Mississippi
Jonestown sits in Coahoma County in the heart of the Mississippi Delta, roughly midway between Clarksdale and the Mississippi River levee. RV travelers using Jonestown as a base typically choose between two very different styles of camping: full-hookup casino RV parks along the river corridor to the north, and lake campgrounds tucked into the St. Francis National Forest on the Arkansas side of the river.
The closest paved, full-service option is Isle Of Capri Casino RV Park in Lula, a short drive north on U.S. 61. Farther north along the Tunica casino strip, Hollywood Casino Hotel and RV Park and Sams Town Gambling Hall RV Park offer concrete pads, full hookups, and access to hotel amenities. For a woodland setting, Storm Creek Lake Recreational Area is part of Mississippi River State Park, a partnership between Arkansas State Parks and the U.S. Forest Service within the St. Francis National Forest, and Lone Pine - Mississippi River State Park lies nearby on Bear Creek Lake near Marianna, Arkansas.
This stretch of the Delta is flat, agricultural, and shaded thin. Expect long sightlines across cotton and soybean fields, easy driving on U.S. 61 and Highway 49, and quick access to Clarksdale's blues venues.
Things to do near Jonestown
Clarksdale, about fifteen minutes south of Jonestown, is the anchor for Delta blues tourism. Visitors typically pair a stop at the Delta Blues Museum with a live show at Ground Zero Blues Club or Red's Lounge, and a photo at the Highway 61 and 49 crossroads marker.
On the water, Storm Creek Lake sportfish include largemouth and hybrid striped bass, bluegill, red-ear sunfish, black crappie and blue and channel catfish, and whitetail deer, squirrel, raccoon, rabbit, wild turkey and a wide variety of other birds are readily seen in the surrounding national forest. Mississippi River State Park features three lakes, two National Scenic Byways, the Great River Road and Crowley's Ridge Parkway, hiking trails, and modern and primitive recreational areas, with camping, fishing, paddling, hiking, wildlife viewing, and access to the Saint Francis WMA for hunting. For rainy afternoons, the Tunica casino strip provides indoor gaming, dining, and short walks between properties.

Spring and fall are the strongest windows for RV travel in the Jonestown area. March through May brings mild days and the region's heaviest rainfall, with active thunderstorms and occasional tornado watches typical of the Delta. Wildflowers and songbird migration peak in April and early May, and the lake offers good opportunities for bass and bream fishing during the spring spawn.
Summer is hot and humid. Highs routinely push into the low 90s Fahrenheit with high dew points, and afternoon thunderstorms are common. Water levels on the Mississippi River can shift quickly, so paddlers and anglers should check current conditions before launching. At Storm Creek Lake, a swim beach operates from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day, which lines up with peak family camping demand.
Fall cools gradually through September and October and is often the driest, most stable season. Winters are short but damp, with occasional freezes; casino RV parks generally stay open year-round while forest sites may run limited services.
How to book near Jonestown
Casino RV parks in this corridor are booked directly with the property. Isle Of Capri Casino RV Park in Lula, Hollywood Casino Hotel and RV Park, and Sams Town Gambling Hall RV Park all handle RV check-in at the hotel front desk rather than a separate campground office, and players-club cards can reduce the nightly rate. Availability at the Tunica-area properties has shifted in recent years, so travelers should confirm status directly with the operator before arriving.
For Storm Creek Lake Recreational Area and other Mississippi River State Park sites, reservations run through Arkansas State Parks. Campsite reservations can be made by calling the park office at 870-295-4040, and online booking is available through the Arkansas State Parks reservation site. Campsites at Lone Pine Campground are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Check-in and check-out are both at 3:00 p.m., a non-refundable reservation deposit equal to the first night non-discounted rate plus tax is required, and any cancellations result in loss of that deposit.
What to expect near Jonestown
The casino parks are paved, level, and functional rather than scenic. Expect concrete pads with 30 and 50 amp service, full hookups, laundry, and shuttle or short walks to the casino floor. Sam's Town Tunica offers 62 spaces with 50 amp connections plus water, sewer, phone, and cable TV, and the RV park is open year-round with full hook-ups for sewer, water, telephone, and cable TV.
Forest campgrounds are quieter and more basic. After a 2020 to 2022 rebuild, Storm Creek Lake Campground features 11 AAA campsites with electricity, water, and sewer hookups, three walk-in tent campsites with electricity and shared water, and five camper cabins with queen beds, bunk beds, heating and air conditioning, screened porches, outdoor grills, and fire pits, served by a modern four-unit bathhouse with hot showers. In contrast, Lone Pine Campground has 14 primitive campsites without water or electricity hookups, each with a picnic table, tent pad, ground grill, and stand grill, with vault toilets and no shower facilities.
