We camped there in a motor home as Coast to Coast members. The park is several miles off the main road on fairly well maintained roads. We were the only campers the night we stayed. The sites were sand and dirt with pine trees with dirt road access. The management was very friendly. The park is just a little too remote for our taste. - Juandering

A lot has changed since the previous reviewer posted. Half of the 30 sites are now only accessable through a very large erosion ditch going down one side of the access road. We wouldn't even attempt those sites in our motorhome. Although we went through 2 nights of tornado watches, the worst part of our stay there was Camp Shelby. Our final night we were awoke at 1:30am by 2 very large explosions from heavy artillery from the camp. Obviously way off course. We were again jolted out of bed at 4:30am by 2 more shells, this time much closer. Even though we had our jacks down, our coach rocked more than 12 inches by the concussion of the blasts. One more and we were ready to call 911 to have the shelling stopped (as we would have been pulling out!). We didn't get much sleep that night. A rustic beauty of a place but we will not be returning to this place! - Dan and Sarah

Coast to Coast rate. A beautiful quiet area in the National Forest. Lots were grass, but some concrete slabs were available, and were of generous size. Roads were gravel. The laundry was very low priced. Beautiful horses were on the premises. - adamsr2

We stayed in this campground for 3 days Excellent hosts. The campground was clean and well maintained. They even gave us a tour of Hattiesburg and couldn't do enough for us We would stay there again. - Dotty Weis

Electric & water problems which caused damage to RV equipment; broken car & RV windows caused by lawn service (the only damage that was reimbursed). Wi-Fi never works; dirt site not level and needed constant adjustments; 6” of water pooled at front door when it rained (every afternoon in summer). Damage to outdoor items when owners cut down a tree which fell 3 ft from our RV. MANY undesirables with ragged shower curtain tents and ragged RVs that are no longer fully functioning. Caters to the poor, disabled and those feigning disability (quite a few). Mississippi is an open carry state so owners shot neighborhood cats next to our RV; owners were shooting blindly into woods after report of trespasser rather calling police; owners and some residents have guns strapped on their waist and use for almost ANY reason. One long term camper with a body and paint shop inside a tent. No amenities, but cheap. Owners not responsive to complaints, and will not reimburse damage voluntarily. Just not what we would consider a safe place to park for any length of time. - LIAB

What's right: The sites are bigger than most private parks and are grassy. The grounds are professionally cared for. The roads are gravel. Some sites have concrete pads, others are dirt. Many have shaded yards for at least part of the day. The only amenity is a laundry room with 2 washers and 2 dryers. It is very clean. It is close to a state park where fishing and camping is allowed. It allows pets on leash and they are sticklers for this. Some tenants have sheds. Whats wrong: There were many old ratty RVs and trailers, and their sites looked as if they had been there quite a while gathering junk and trash. Several looked like hoarders. There was one really nice RV but next door was a dump with a three foot tall pile of trash. Tarps hung on roofs and fences from front to back. We spoke to a camper before we moved in who told us it was mostly military and disabled. But while I was there I had a lady who cooked drugs at night in her RV next to mine. An ex-HS teacher and his student girlfriend and their child. Asked to watch another elderly man's 23 year-old wife and report her activity to the office. And a couple on disability that looked like they were opening a junk store next to my RV. Prior to this there was the man who was allowed to rebuild a car in his lot including the priming and painting! Right next to another RV and across the street from one that looked expensive! All with the knowledge and/or consent of the park owners. Hence the cheap monthly rent of $295. I needed a place longer than I stayed but just could not keep feeling unsafe and like I was living in the twilight zone. - Jilliebean

Stayed in Cabin #1 for 4 days, and walked through the campground area next to the area. The park is clean, & quiet, but the campsites just seemed a little too close to one another. There are a few with shade, but not many. Did not use the comfort station. The cabin was clean but was very abused. It needs to be updated badly. The staff was wonderful. We couldn't get used to the unsupervised use of prisoners to collect garbage, though we had no problems. - The Riots

Our first time here but not sure we'd go back. No fault of the park but the loop we stayed in (loop 1) only had limestone next to the asphalt RV pads so with all the rain we experienced (rained every day), it was a constant struggle not to bring dirt and rocks into the camper. BEAUTIFUL views over the lake however and our daughter and godchildren had a blast swimming in the lake. They also fed some ducks and fished right behind our site. Roads are definitely tight thru that loop and although our site was level and long enough, many would have been a serious problem for us, especially site 15, wow. Very short and completely sloped downward. Thankfully, they had a small Rpod in that site. Do homework and ask questions so you don't caught in a site you're unprepared for. Overall, a decent state park. - MOUCHIE

The view and the lake are awesome. It is peaceful here. The toilets/showers smelled like an outhouse. We were here 2 weeks and watched the gals go into the restrooms to clean. They would take a spray bottle (nothing to wipe with) and return out of there in about 5 minutes. There are jail guys that do the lawns. No issues with that. The hookup on our site was wired wrong. We needed help with that. The site itself could have used some shade. I think we were put in the only site that did not have it. (2nd loop) Would be nice to be on the waters edge next time. We did not use the restrooms/showers because of the smell. We were going to do a load of laundry but there were bugs and dirt in the machines so we opted not to. It is a nice place to stay if you strategically pick out your site. - Travel Reviewer

No sign anywhere for campground. We had rung days earlier to confirm if cable TV had ESPN as we avidly follow World Cup Soccer. They rang back to say they had ESPN. When we arrived, the ESPN was very grainy with no audio. Most other channels were grainy also. Very disappointing. Wi-fi worked fine. No extra charge. - AussieRV

We were very pleased with the cleanliness of our site and the public facilities (bathrooms). The staff was very friendly. Although they have a laundry facility onsite, we didn't use it. But it was very clean. We will be returning for vacations. - Davidson Family

The cleanliness was really bad. We had to clean the bathroom up just in order to use it properly. They really need to invest in new cleaning personnel. We will never return. - Davidson Family

The park is nice and very secluded in the woods. We were on a lake site. A few complaints would be the grass was uncut and the shower and restrooms by our site were a mess. If we walked around our loop, the next shower and restroom was perfect. Also, bring a lot of fly spray because they were everywhere. This place could be awesome with just a little clean up around the sites and grass cutting. It was very relaxing sitting out at night under the stars. I have been camping here for years and I sure hope they get it cleaned up a little to get it back like it used to be. Complaints aside, I will still return to Flint Creek. - BryanK.

Never again! Our 1st and last trip to Flint Creek. We camped 3 nights in spot 54. It is an okay park. It isn't outstandingly clean, but it would do except for the ANTS! Our first morning we woke up to ants partying along all of our indoor, outdoor walls and seams. We bought ant spray and sprayed everything, but we still battled ants the rest of the trip. No fun. We asked other campers and everyone seemed to be suffering the same fate. The strange part is they didn't seem to care for the crumbs my kids dropped outside. They just wanted IN! We have been camping for 3 years and have never had a single ant in our camper. No bugs at all, for that matter. As if that weren't reason enough not to return, the washing facilities were dark and not very clean. I checked them out for friends who use the bath house when camping. The washers and dryers were old, dirty and exposed to the elements. The concrete floor was wet and covered with wet sand and dirt. There was no place to fold the towels I needed to wash since the machines were dirty. If I dropped anything it got filthy. Additionally, the park is very hilly, curvy and not very bike friendly: especially for kids. Younger kids can't ride without parents because the loops are large and the hills and curves prevent supervision. Even with parents though, it is a difficult ride for kids to muscle through. The beach is very small, but my kids loved it. The waterpark is in a hillside and the slides flow into a little body of water trenched off and separated from the rest of the lake. It's pretty small and is a disaster waiting to happen. I watched the lifeguards for a while. They spent more time chatting and looking at their hair than watching the kids. Some were more attentive than others. They need to weed eat some here and clean the river slime off the slides. My kids: 18 mos, 5 and 7, liked it though. Kids don't see what we see. The sites are pretty , shady and private. If you decide to risk it, pack at least 2 cans of ant spray for indoor and outdoor use. - npittman

This is a campground near the event center and horse stables. I imagine for special events, this park would be perfect for the location. When we stayed there were only 4 other rigs in the park and none looked like they were occupied. For us, it was a great option for an overnight (vs Walmart) so that we could have full hookups. Sites are not very level and hookups are all in the back of the site which can be a bit challenging. Our sewer hookup didn't have a cap around it, so it was basically just a hole in the ground that we set our hose into. Not ideal, but it worked. The office is in the main auditorium, about 1/2 mile from the park. We paid $20 cash and could pick whichever site we wanted, which was nice. No wifi, but satellite was not a problem (no trees, just a large parking lot). Easy access for a big-rig. - tmiller505

Heading into the area we heard rain was scheduled to be heavy for 2 days. We looked for a place with paved roads and paved sites to stay for 2 nights until the rain passed. This was the perfect place for that, it even had a storm shelter on site. We have stayed at Fair Ground type of facilities before and do not have a problem with them. You know what you get. All hookups worked well, Sprint hot spot and clear satellite view. Plenty of room to walk the dogs. We would stay here again. - Living the Dream

Learned of this campground on flyer at Mississippi Welcome Center. It is located at the county event center which appeared to have mainly livestock type events. It is quiet and well located to Hattiesburg. Sites are paved, but many are very sloped. The area is grassed but there are no trees. The hookups are at the far back of the site and require a long sewer hose. Restroom and showers are a long walk from campsites. You must make arrangements to stay during business hours and only cash is accepted. We would stay again only because of price and closeness to Hattiesburg. This is no frills. - tillie

There isn't internet or cable. Wasn't a priority for my family but I know for some that's a deal breaker. Campers next to us were very loud and obnoxious. Expect locals when camping here. - HappyCampers3

I stayed here for 4 nights. The grounds were very well maintained and the management was very friendly. When checking in they issued us a bag of ant poison and were advised to use it after we were parked. They advised they had a small ant problem with some of the sites. The sites were level and hookups were easy to get to. The sites were spaced so you weren't right next to your neighbor. Nice campground to walk and ride bikes. The only issue was the sugar ants, they were terrible!! After parking my RV, within a short period we were invaded by hundreds of ants! We used the poison to no avail. We then were told by another camper to use Comet Cleaner and sprinkle around our tires, jacks, hoses, and electrical cord and the ants would not cross it. It seemed to work pretty well. After that we had an enjoyable stay. We plan to return and secured reservations while we were there. I would advise to call and get reservations. The park was full the weekend we stayed. - Camping Fox

This is no longer the great little fishing park with the quaint cabins, and campsites nestled in the woods. This park has been turned into an AMUSEMENT PARK! No sleep, so refunds, no supervision of children on golf carts with loud music everywhere. There was an ATV running the streets as well even though the management says they don't allow them. There is a zip line now installed over the dam spillway, right beside the campground. Poor planning! This is a dry county, but a private park even though some land was taken by eminent domain. Drinking and drunks are abundant here, including some of the management. There was an event here one of the weekends we stayed, which was very ill planned. Too many people, not enough management or security, and once again not far enough away from the campground and cabins so we could enjoy the quiet (though there was none to be had really). Fishing used to be great here, no longer. And we were told that there was an $8 per fish charge for each caught in addition to the normal fees for fishing. After hearing that, we stopped. Too many speed boats in the shallow lake anyway. And the prices have risen dramatically! At $28 per night, and being the highest cost park in the area, there are many local alternatives, most being much better campgrounds as well. While here, there seemed to be a big upheaval in personnel, which we were told has been the case since the new management took over. Seems like the new management is nickel and diming the campers too much as well. There were lots of complaints from other campers around us, who were also looking for a refund and an opportunity to find another park. Just not a good atmosphere anymore! And certainly no place to take young children! - LIAB

We stayed here due to location only. The grounds maintenance was satisfactory, but there were a lot of old run down campers and several trashy sites. WIFI was pretty much useless. Drug use and thefts were evident. Police presence had increased much throughout our stay. We moved to Shady Cove RV Park in Hattiesburg, MS and paid a month's rent. Afterwards, we found out both parks have the same owner. We are looking forward to leaving there also. - Terry5048

We stayed in a tent site. It was very large and shaded. The river was awesome, but bring water shoes. Great family park for first time campers. There are several permanent residents. - User1201

There is very poor security and rules. I was on the creek side site. Partiers park all around the campground, and some parked on sites next to us. Most were not campers. It is a nice park other wise, but needs rules and enforcement of them. - mcneese
