The camp spot was situated on a flat, rocked surface. They had a hose available for use too. The first night I had trouble with the water running down to a trickle every time I turned it on. I reached out to Sheryl and she sent her husband out first thing. Long story short, it was MY FAULT!!🫣 He had already turned the water off, busted the concrete and changed the spigot! I was devastated! They were sooooo sweet about it. I tried to buy them some more concrete, but they weren’t having it. The spot had everything I needed and wanted for my weekend away. The pond, the woods, the fishing….and it’s close to home! We will definitely be back!!

One of the nicest couples my wife and I have ever met! They were extremely accommodating to our family and made our stay very enjoyable. My 2 year old had the time of his life. We will be back in the future.

As a family we have been camping in our RV for about 4 years now and I personally have been camping all my life. This trip was one of the most memorable to date! Mrs. Anita is so responsive to messages and Mr. Lynn’s attention to detail and thoughtfulness are unmatched! The property upon entering is horse stables and rolling hills leading to a shaded campground with full hookup sites situated around a larger than life bonfire pit with rock seating. Each site has ample space and its own firepit. We were graciously given ample firewood, a map and even full access to a 4x4 UTV to explore the property! The rest of the property is hundreds of acres with miles of well marked trails for riding or hiking. There are two lakes with the larger of the two having an assortment of boats. There is also a primitive camp area on the big lake. Wildlife is in abundance! Deer, fox, herons, eagles and more are seen while at night the coyotes sing you to sleep! Mr. Lynn check on us every morning! We loved it so much we booked an extra day and have already started planning our return! We drank coffee in the cool morning air, fished the day away and enjoyed hot cocoa and s’mores around the fire at night!They are in the process of building a structure that will have bath/laundry and bunkhouse as well as a rec room! Whether passing through or staying for an extended period this place checks all the boxes plus some! Thank you Mrs. Anita and Mr. Lynn for an amazing experience and we will be back soon!!!

This was our most memorable trip yet! We have been RVing since 2022 and have stayed at countless Rv parks but this was by far the best experience ever! First off Mrs. Anita was so responsive to messages and communication was so clear. We arrived on a Sat and were met by the camp hosts husband Mr. Lynn. He helped get us in and situated and gave us firewood. Each site had a firepit as well a a huge bonfire in the middle. He gave a a rundown of the property and told us he’d be back in the morning with maps and more for us as the sun was setting. The property was gorgeous with rolling hills and horses. We sat out the first night listening to the coyotes. The next morning we awoke to a 4WD UTV and a map of the property. Miles and miles of riding and hiking trails though beautiful forest! We had breakfast and coffee the struck out through the woods. The trails were well marked so no fear of getting lost and the map was detailed! There are two lakes, small lake and big lake(both big lol). The big lake had Jon boats and a paddle boat for use. We were having so much fun we immediately booked extra days! We spent the next two days, exploring the trails, fishing, birdwatching and even found an old tire swing. Mr. Lynn checked on us faithfully every morning! They are in the process of building an amazing bathhouse, laundry, rec room/bunkhouse. Check out was easy and unrushed. Do yourself a favor and book a week! It’s worth every penny and more! We will be back Soon! Great Memories!

Mary Fay's campground, while very bare bones, was perfectly located for our visit to Clarksdale, MS as part of the Blues Tour. Water and power worked perfectly and we really appreciated the wifi.

Absolutely loved our stay at Farmview, Twin Lakes, so much so that it has been added to our small but growing list of “must return to” locations.
The hosts, Anita and her husband Len, were most welcoming, accommodating and generous in making sure we were informed about the many great recreational opportunities and aspects of their very large property.
The hiking and/or off-road motorcycle trails are many and varied covering significant terrain around the multiple large lakes and adjoining farmlands - all in all simply an outstandingly great location for a multi day stay.
Highly recommended …

Group trip
This was the best trip I have been on in a long time. The home was absolutely perfect but all the camp sites on the property were beautiful. The owners are THE SWEETEST! They responded so quickly to any and all questions my family and I had. The property is incredible with so many awesome riding trails for all experience levels or ages. The home slept my whole family comfortably. Waking up and going right out to our bikes to ride was such an incredible experience. We all felt so safe and secure there even going into town and leaving our stuff. I would recommend this family, home, property and trails to EVERYONE. My family and I will 100% be back and we are so excited for the next trip already!

Overview
About
A sportsman’s paradise and family fave, George P. Cossar State Park sits on the shores of Enid Lake. Anglers take note because Enid Lake is the site of the world’s largest crappie catch, weighing in at over 5 pounds. Most of the land around the lake and in nearby Holly Springs National Forest is open for public hunting and filled with a variety of game. Just be sure to hunt responsibly and make sure you’re aware of others around you. Area attractions include Ole Miss (Go Rebels!), the North Mississippi Fish Hatchery, and O’Keefe and Malmaison Wildlife Management Areas. The park staff is big on southern hospitality and is happy to provide directions.
When to go
The ideal time to visit George P. Cossar State Park is during the spring and fall when the weather is mild and the natural beauty is at its peak. Summer months can be warm, perfect for water activities, while winter offers a quiet, crisp atmosphere. Avoid peak holiday weekends for a more serene experience.
Know before you go
- Check weather conditions before your visit to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
- Be aware of park hours, typically from 8:30am to 5pm, and plan your activities accordingly.
- Remember to pack essentials like water, sunscreen, and insect repellent for a comfortable outing.
- Stay informed about any trail closures or area restrictions during your visit.
- Facilities such as restrooms and picnic areas are available, but it's wise to confirm their accessibility ahead of time.
