Arkabutla Lake-South Abutment Campground

Arkabutla Lake in northwest MS has 3 campgrounds suitable for RVs (Dub Patton, South Abutment, and Hernando Point).  There are several other campgrounds that are good for tent camping only.  All of the campgrounds are Army Corps of Engineer campgrounds.  The only campground we have stayed in is the South Abutment campground near the entrance from Arkabutla, MS.

The South Abutment campground has 80 campsites with electric/water; however, several of the loops are closed in the off season due to budget cuts.  The only site we have ever stayed in is #51.  (***edit:  This campground did a renumbering of all of the campsites.  This campsite is now #13***)  This is a great spot if you like a big "yard" area when you camp.  The water level has been very low the last year (2012).

There are lots of opportunities for walking and bike riding.  The last time we were here, we rode our bikes from our site across the top of the dam and over to the Dub Patton campground area which is on the other side of the dam.

Fees range from $18-$20 March-Oct. and $16-$18 Nov.-Feb.  It looks like all the sites in the South Abutment campground have 50 amp service and water.  There is also a central dump station.  Each loop also has a bath house with hot showers.  You can reserve sites on recreation.gov.  Our Sprint internet service works great here.
