Wall Doxey State Park - Holly Springs, MS

Wall Doxey State Park is located about 7 miles south of Holly Springs, MS on Hwy 7 (between Holly Springs and Oxford).  There are 2 campgrounds in the park.  The older campground, near the front entrance, has 13 sites with electric/water.  We have not camped in that campground.  The sites are not very private.  It's more like a road with camping slips on each side.

The back campground is newer and has 49 sites with electric/water.  There is a

dump station in the park.  The back campground is heavily wooded with good privacy between the sites.  There is a bath house with hot showers and laundry facilities.  There is also a playground at the back campground.


We really like this campground and will continue to use it as a weekend getaway.  If TV reception is important, this park may not be for you.  We got a kick out of watching a couple in a big motor home backing in then leaving camping spots in search of a site that would get satellite tv reception.  But, our Sprint internet worked great here.  We even sat outside by the campfire and watched an episode of The Rockford Files on some internet site that Rick found.

There is a 60-acre spring fed lake in the park with 2 fishing piers.  We have been fishing several times here, but have only caught very small fish-not worth keeping.  Not sure if you would have better luck in a boat.  If you like to walk, there is a very nice 2.5 mile nature trail that circles around the lake and through some of the woods.  They also have 2 disc golf courses.  We didn't play, but we did walk one of the courses.  It was a great walk through the woods surrounding the campground.

If you would like to stay in the park but don't have a camper or tent, Wall Doxey also has 9 cabins that you can rent.  There is also a primitive camping loop for tent campers. We have seen Scout Troops camping in this area before.

We have stayed in sites #23 and #7.  We liked both of these sites.  Next time we go, we plan to stay at #8.  All of the sites in the back campground have 20/30/50 amp hookups.  The parking pads are concrete.  We were there in 2011 and again in 2012.  The fees were $18 per night.  All sites are reserveable at reserveamerica.com.

All-in-all, we think this is a great little campground for a relaxing weekend.
