We offer shady campsites and fishing in two private lakes stocked with bass and bluegill. Lakes are for campers only! Campers can pick blueberries when they are in season (June-July)--limit 2 pints per site per day. Wildlife is abundant. You will hear owls and coyotes at night. Often bald eagles can be spotted at both lakes. Other wildlife you may see: deer, wild turkey, raccoons, opossums, fox, bobcat, coyote, rabbits, armadillo, otter, and squirrels. Please do not approach the wild animals! There is a pretty creek for those who like to creek walk. Petrified wood can be picked up in the creek bed. We are only 30 minutes from the University of Mississippi campus for people coming for ballgame weekends. We are only about 20 minutes from Grenada and Enid Reservoirs. These have some of the finest crappie fishing in the United States. We are located 2 miles east of the Trans America Trail.

Overview

About

Centrally located between Memphis, Tennessee and Jackson Mississippi (about a 90 minute drive from either), Hugh White State Park offers outdoor recreation in a place whose beauty is rarely matched.

Grenada Lake is tops for crappie fishermen, but is also well-stocked with bass, bream, and catfish. There is unrestricted water skiing on the 64,000-acre freshwater lake, but with all the coves, inlets, waters below the dam, it’s unlikely to disrupt a peaceful afternoon. Water levels are controlled by the US Army Corp of Engineers, so if you’re curious about current water levels, head here. The Dogwood Golf Course is another option to shake some rust off your game. It’s a championship 18-hole course with rolling fairways that lead to large, inviting greens.

When to go

The ideal time to visit Hugh White State Park is during the spring and fall when the weather is mild and the natural scenery is at its peak. Summer months can be warm, making early morning or late afternoon the best times for outdoor activities. Winters are quieter, offering a peaceful escape, though some amenities may be limited.
