The best beach camping near Tylertown

·

Nestled near the border of Mississippi and Louisiana, Tylertown’s three square miles provide a pathway to Mississippi’s vast forests, diverse ecosystems, and pristine lakes (plus larger metro areas such as Baton Rouge, New Orleans, and Jackson). Head into the wilderness of nearby De Soto National Forest, the most diverse ecoregion on the Gulf Coast, or Homochitto National Forest and its lakes. Campgrounds in both forests are open for tents and RVs. Farther north, adventure through Bienville National Forest and pitch a tent at a lakeside campsite.

12mi from Tylertown · 7 sites · Tents, RVs
95 acres on the beautiful Topisaw Creek. Here we've raised 5 kids and a multitude of dogs, cats and chickens and a small herd of pineywoods cattle. The woods are quiet and undisturbed , harboring native species like jack in the pulpit, trillium and Florida anise. The spring-fed (and thus always refreshing!) Topisaw Creek forms the eastern border of our property, so plan to spend time on the sandy beaches and rock bars soaking up the sun or hunting for rocks and fossils (petrified wood and arrowheads have been found here). Many folks also enjoy a leisurely float down the creek in inner tubes ('tubing') or in a kayak. (Please note that after heavy rains the creek rises to epic heights and is too dangerous to navigate.) Little to no light pollution makes for amazing stargazing!

The best beach camping near Tylertown guide

Where to go

De Soto National Forest

De Soto National Forest features a varied ecosystem of cypress swamps, savanna, hardwood forest, and dry ridges. Campers enjoy canoeing or floating down Black Creek, the only national scenic river in Mississippi. After a creekside adventure, try biking, hunting, angling, canoeing, and ATV riding. Managed campgrounds in De Soto include Big Biloxi Recreation Area, P.O.W. Lake Recreation Area, and several campgrounds along Black Creek. Open year-round, Big Biloxi’s 25 campsites are outfitted with utility hookups as well as convenient dump stations and showers nearby.

Homochitto National Forest

About 70 miles west from Tylertown, Homochitto National Forest spans seven counties and over 191,000 acres of rugged terrain for horseback riding, hiking, hunting, and camping. Campers can swim and fish in Okhissa Lake before stopping by Clear Springs Recreation Area’s picnic grounds, man-made lake, hiking trails, and campgrounds—which are the only managed campgrounds in Homochitto. Clear Springs offers sites for tents and RVs, as well as group camping sites, with accessible bathhouses, flush toilets, electric and water hookups, and a sanitary dump station.

Bienville National Forest

Two hours north of Tylertown is Bienville National Forest, a vast wilderness of pine and oak trees that stretches over 175,000 acres. Marathon Lake and Shongelo Lake offer fishing and other water activities, as well as hiking and horseback riding opportunities. Campers can stay at Marathon Recreation Area, which features 34 campsites equipped with water and electric hookups, two bathhouses with hot showers, a boat ramp, and a dumping station.
