About

Davis Lake Campground sits in a hilly mixed hardwood and pine forest along the eastern shore of 200-acre Davis Lake in Mississippi's Tombigbee National Forest. The 26 campsites feature water and electric hookups, picnic tables, lantern posts, and campfire rings with grills. Facilities include flush toilets, a bathhouse with showers, and a dump station near the entrance. A camp host is on duty. The lake offers excellent recreation with a grassy swimming beach, boat ramp, and multiple fishing piers. Target species include largemouth bass, hybrid striped bass, crappie, catfish, and bream. Many sites have space to anchor a boat. A 2-mile trail follows the north shoreline to earthen fishing piers, and birders can spot migrating waterfowl, hawks, herons, and bluebirds. Nearby attractions include the Chickasaw OHV Trail (12 miles, open April 1 through October 31), the Owl Creek Mounds archaeological site, and the Tanglefoot Trail for hiking and cycling. The campground is located within 4 miles of the Natchez Trace Parkway.
