About
Hunt Camp 80A is a primitive campsite within the Little Sunflower River Recreation Area of Delta National Forest in Sharkey County, Mississippi. The forest spans 60,898 acres of bottomland hardwood ecosystem and is cooperatively managed as the Sunflower Wildlife Management Area. This designated hunter camp is one of 57 primitive sites scattered throughout the forest, designed to accommodate hunters and outdoor enthusiasts exploring the unique Mississippi Delta landscape. The shaded campsite features a graveled pull-through driveway, fire ring, lantern post, and picnic table. The site is classified as a double-sized standard nonelectric site, accommodating 1-8 people with up to 2 vehicles. Tents, trailers, and RVs up to 30 feet are permitted. No potable water or restrooms are available at the site; restroom facilities are located along FS Roads 715, 717, 720, and 707, and potable water can be obtained at the Delta Work Center on Forest Service Road 703. Bears and other wildlife are present in the forest, so proper food storage is required. Alcohol is prohibited on the Wildlife Management Area per state regulations. ATVs are not permitted off trailers at campsites and are allowed only on designated trails with a daily or annual permit.
