Okatibbee Lake Waterpark

2 ReviewsAdd Review

Within the Army Corps of Engineers' Okatibbee Recreation Area, this established campground operates year-round with full hookups and lake access. Sites feature asphalt pads with electric, water, and sewer connections, plus picnic tables and grills. Most sites sit in wooded areas with a few offering water views, though none are directly waterfront.

The bathhouse provides restrooms, showers, and laundry facilities that reviewers note stay reasonably clean. Staff responds quickly to maintenance issues, though campers should clarify sewer hookup locations upon arrival since some sites have dual connections. The campground prohibits pets and caters exclusively to RV camping with no tent sites available. Campers seeking additional options can explore camping near Meridian about nine miles southeast.

Beware of 2 sewage hookups

We had sites 3,4 and 5. We were assigned site 3. A nice shaded site with full hookups. The first night our breaker kept tripping. We called and a member of the staff fixed it right of way. All good right? No. When we arrived no one told us of the possibility of two sewage hookups and which one should be used. We automatically hooked up to the one on the side by the water and electric. After 3 days there I noticed water puddling. Once again I called the front, nice young man came out. Called his boss and found out we should have hooked up to the one in the center of the pad underneath our travel trailer. So had a hose full of water that we had to unhook and crawl under our trailer to hookup. The day we were to leave while washing dishes we lost water pressure. Called the front again, apparently something went wrong because we saw them hauling pipes to repair it. Needless to say I had to hurry and drain my black and Grey tanks before I had no water. I gave them 3 stars for the attentiveness of their staff. Great time with friends and nice shaded pads. So if you get to your spot and there are 2 sewage use the one in the center of the pad.

RV park

RV campgrounds on Lake Okatibbee in Lauderdale County, MS. The pads are asphalt and have electric, water, and sewer connections. They also have picnic table in good shape and a steel picnic grill. This is not a fancy park, but it is decent. It has a bath house- restroom and showers. It also has washer and dryers. The bath house is in pretty good shape- they keep it fairly clean. The staff is very nice. Most of the pads are in the woods with a few pads overlooking the water- none are on the water. We tent camp, but there are no primitive sites here. There are a few cabins that are closer to the water. This is a place we will come back and stay.
