The best dog-friendly campgrounds in Mississippi

Whether you’re taking an RV road trip along the Natchez Trace Parkway, fishing and boating around the lakes and rivers, or cooling off at the Gulf Coast beaches in the south―a Mississippi camping trip is more fun if you can bring your four-legged family along for the ride. Luckily, there are pet-friendly outdoor adventures to be found all around the state, whether you’re hiking through De Soto National Forest, hooking catfish at Tombigbee State Park, or ball-throwing and leaf-peeping in Roosevelt State Park. Pets are welcome at Mississippi state parks and campgrounds (except cabin rentals), but you’ll need to keep them on a six-foot leash and off the beaches. Many private campgrounds and rural Hipcamps are also happy to accept well-behaved dogs, but be sure to check if there are size limitations (not all sites welcome big dogs) and whether there’s a pet fee.

2 nights at The Ranch

This place is a MUST visit! My husband and i enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back with babies and grandson. Mr. Austin stayed in contact even before the trip...We enjoyed interacting with the animals and were hoping to do the horseback riding but it rained. This place is 1000/10! I promise you won't be disappointed.

1 night at Gulf Beach Resort

The staff was friendly, the grounds were clean and tidy. Wonderful location to the beach, and a pool too. The only thing I was disappointed in was the wifi, it did not work for us.
