Campgrounds and RV parks near Walnut Grove, MS

Walnut Grove sits in Leake County in central Mississippi, roughly midway between Jackson and Meridian, with the upper Pearl River corridor to the west and the Bienville National Forest to the south. RV renters use the town as a base for water-based recreation on the Ross Barnett Reservoir, a Pearl River impoundment managed by the Pearl River Valley Water Supply District, and on lakes managed by the Pat Harrison Waterway District, a Mississippi state agency headquartered in Hattiesburg that oversees recreation in the Pascagoula River Basin to the southeast. The closest developed camping to Walnut Grove is Low Head Dam, a rustic PRVWSD site on the upper Pearl River above the reservoir. About a half-hour south, RO Hannah at Roosevelt State Park offers full-hookup RV sites on Shadow Lake, and Turkey Creek Water Park, five miles southwest of Decatur, adds a 250-acre lake. Green Tree RV and Recreational Park and Frog Level RV Park round out the private options in the area. Most sites in the region are open year-round, though spring and fall carry the strongest demand from anglers and families.

Roosevelt State Park uses the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks reservation system. Reservations are made online at reserve.mdwfp.com/roosevelt/camping or by calling the park directly, and the campground can fill up quickly during festivals and holidays, so advance booking is recommended. The park has two loops: R.O. Hannah Campground covers sites 1 to 42 and the CCC campground covers sites 43 to 109. Pat Harrison Waterway District parks such as Turkey Creek use a separate booking system with specific windows. Reservations of 2, 3, or 4 nights can be booked up to 3 months in advance with full payment due within 14 days, and reservations of 5 or more nights can be booked up to one year from the date with a 3-night deposit within 14 days and the remaining balance due 30 days prior to arrival. Low Head Dam and other PRVWSD campgrounds are booked through PRVWSD directly. Private parks like Green Tree RV and Recreational Park and Frog Level RV Park are booked through the operators.
