The Piney Grove Campground is on Bay Springs Lake, along the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway in northeastern Mississippi. It's ideal for families and groups of friends looking for lots of water recreation.
Boat, fish, swim, hike, bike or just sit back and relax on the nine-mile lake. Bay Springs Lake is dotted with recreation areas for a true sampling of the outdoors.
Each of the 141 sites come with electric hookups, a lantern post, impact pad, campfire ring and picnic table. The park also has a playground, two multi-use courts, laundry facilities and an ice machine.
The Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway extends 234 miles from the Tennessee River to the junction of the Tombigbee River in Alabama. The man-made waterway connects the nation's midsection of commercial water transportation with the Gulf of Mexico. The Tenn-Tom Waterway is the largest earth moving project in the history of the world! The Tenn-Tom Waterway has 180,000 acres of public land waiting for you to explore.
Piney Grove Beach is just a short walk or bike ride from the campground. We also have several other recreational areas around the lake including the very popular, Old Bridge Beach.
From Hwy 45 near Booneville, MS: take Highway 30 East for 15 miles to Burton, turn right on CR 3501. Follow for 3 miles and turn left on CR 3550 at the sign for Piney Grove Recreation Area. Go straight for 3 miles and you will arrive at Piney Grove Campground.
So, the hosts are nice, but the gate people in the green tracker seem to like to race around the campground at high speed. There are several children riding bikes, playing, and in the road way, so this really should not be a place for employees to speed around. The bathrooms are not kept very clean. Took 3 days after me telling them to remove a spider that could be very harmful. And the cobwebs and bugs on walks and counters never are removed. I never saw it but was told, but both an attendant and a ranger that a snake is living in the bathroom, so I stopped going in there. It's very beautiful, but wildlife is abundant, including snakes, so be mindful of your surroundings. We lost power due to storms, so we left a couple of days early. Was told we would be getting a refund but never did.
Really beautiful right on the water. Kid friendly with parks and walkways. Forgot how much I missed camping till it got here
Got there and found out that reservations must be made on the website, but I was able to do it from my phone it after I arrived. Beautiful campground right by the lake. Only $10 for a tent site! If you're traveling by motorcycle on the Natchez Trace, I would recommend coming in from the northern exit. I was traveling northbound on the Trace, so I got off and approached the campground from the south. However, my GPS had me taking gravel roads to get to the campground... not fun on a big motorcycle.
It is a wonderful place to feel nature at it's best. You can receive peace, tranquility and fun and sun! 😎 With family and friends 😉 Wonderful place to visit 😁
Beautiful COE in Mississippi! 2 different camping areas and what looks like a great beach. Water and electric only with dual dump station. Most of the sites are not big rig friendly.
