Town Creek Campground is located on the beautiful Columbus Lake in the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway.
The campground has direct access to the waterway for recreational boating activities and is a great place to relax and view the scenery.
With Columbus Lake and Kennedy Lake to explore, this facility has ample water recreation opportunities.
Anglers can try their luck on the fishing dock or head off-shore in search of bass, catfish and crappie.
Families with children can play on the facility's three playgrounds and go hiking, biking or birding. The nature trail circling the Kennedy Lake crosses the water in a number of places by way of wooden footbridges.
Town Creek offers 100 sites with electric and water hookups, picnic tables, fire rings with grills and lantern posts along the banks of the waterway. Campers have the convenience of hot showers and laundry facilities.
The campground also offers 10 primitive, tent-only sites along the Kennedy Lake shore.
The thickly forested, sloping shoreline and calm water create a peaceful atmosphere. On top of the hill overlooking the Tombigbee is Kennedy Lake; on the back of the lake, water cascades down a stone waterfall and into a creek that meanders through the park.
The Tenn-Tom, as the waterway is known, 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.
Town Creek Campground is just minutes from the cities of Columbus and West Point, Mississippi, which offer a variety of conveniences such as shopping, restaurants and golf courses.
From Columbus, Mississippi, take Highway 45 north to the junction with Highway 50. Turn left and follow 50 west past the Tenn-Tom Waterway bridge. Two miles west of the bridge, turn north onto Town Creek Road and follow the signs.
This park is absolutely beautiful! Our spot overlooked the river and had lots of privacy. If you want quiet serenity, this is the place you need to go. Some of the sites had full hookups, but ours only had electric and water, but they also have a dump station, laundry, bath houses, a boat ramp, lots of hiking, and beautiful scenery! We will definitely be back!
All good vibes. Spacious secluded beautiful spots. Super clean park and restrooms. Camp hosts were friendly and informative. It's a definite gem!
The place deserves 5 star however the website (recreation.gov) is not much helpful, and the lack of pictures and information leave us without better choices of the suitable spots to pick for camping. Me and my husband were planning on staying for 2 nights, but when we got there we were surprised by the amount of kids and RVs around our spot, and we ended up staying one night only. It is a wonderful place for kids and for fishing in the river too. The structure and safety is good also for elderly people. If you are planning to have some adventure time in the woods, long distance hiking and quiet places you might try another place to go or a different season other than the summer.
