My husband and I decided to rent cabin 2 during the recent snow storm. We have a great time. The electricity went out for a couple of hours, but we had plenty of firewood. Took lots of beautiful pics. Our 2nd time back....

My family and I always go to Tishomingo State park for our family reunion every year in September. My favorite part is going over the big bridge and walking the trail with my two brothers.Its always so fun there.

Best State Park Mississippi has to offer! Some of the best scenery in the entire state. Trails through older forests and rock outcroppings are beautiful. Unlike anywhere else in the state. The park has so much to offer: miles of well marked trails, nice new pool, several frisbee golf trails, bouldering, nice cabins, historic cabins (built by the CCC, rustic but a neat experience), campground, an awesome float trip down bear creek... and so much more! Very well managed park. If you haven't been you are missing out. Especially if you're a first timer, try the frisbee golf. Even if you're not good its tons of fun and a great way to spend time outdoors.

Thus was our first visit to this park for a weekend of family camping, the first disappointment was the campsite. We reserved sight unseen with only a campsite map. Our site was full of weeds, with broken and jutting pavement, backing up to a mosquito mud pit (not lake front as the map showed), and with a very steep drop off on both sides of the parking spot - no where to put a tent. So we got on the phone with Reserve America to see if we could switch to another open site. Luckily many sites were open and we switched. Campsite 17 and 18 (among many others) are just not suitable for camping. We saw no staff until the second night when a ranger came through to ask about our switch of campsite. We spent our time hiking and geocaching. We explored the park but sadly so many things were closed, shuttered, and neglected. Swing sets at the campground with no swings, nature center permanently closed, nowhere to get anything inside the park (had to leave to buy ice)... We still had a pleasant trip, enjoyed the hiking, scenery, and the better campsite. The bathrooms were quite nice but not enough to service the number if campsites - two showers in the bathhouse closest to us. I think one other bathhouse was open. We saw another bath house that was permanently shuttered. The first night they were very tidy. The second night, campers who had been mudding in the lake and canoeing trashed the bathrooms. It was really appalling to see the state they left them in.... Not sure we would revisit this park but is is a scenic spot for your camping excursion.

Tishomingo State Park is a well-maintained state park in northeast Mississippi. My and my sister's families camped at the park over the Labor Day weekend of 2013. The park pool is clean and not over-chlorinated as many pools seem to be. The campsites seem to cater to RVs more than tent campers but the sites we reserved, 41 and 43 were very spacious for our two families and our tents. The main bath house was new and refreshingly air-conditioned but unfortunately it was overly crowded due to lack of facilities for the number of campsites offered. There was another bath house further to the east of the campground but it was closed at the time we were there. If you stay on the loop-side of the campground be prepared for a long-ish stroll to use the shower or bathroom. I feel that the distance contributed to the higher than normal car traffic in the campground area as guests were driving to the bath house. Hopefully the park will renovate and reopen the bath house closer to the loop campsite. In general it was a pleasant state park with friendly and helpful staff.

We stayed in Cabin 1 at Tishomingo State Park in early July 2013 and were suprised at how quiet the place was. We enjoyed hiking the many trails and using the park's pool.The cabin itself was nice and had two screened porches, a full kitchen, 2 fireplaces, and central heat/air. The bedroom had 2 queen beds, a closet, and one of the wood burning fireplaces. The cabin came well stocked with towlels and sheets, and the park has a daily linen exchange (just leave your dirty towels/sheets on the porch in the morning). We were traveling with a small child and were able to set up his crib in a small hallway between the living room and bedroom, which was dark and just the right size for the crib we brought.The park itself has terrain unlike the rest of Mississippi, with pretty large rock outcroppings. Some of the hikes were short and simple, but others were pretty rocky and were more challenging, especially considering the July heat. As a cabin guest we were allowed complimentary pool access. The park also has a fishing lake (we did not use) and a nice playground.The park does not have a laundry to wash dirty clothes, but we found two in nearby Iuka- one in the strip center adjacent to the Piggly Wiggly, and the other in a strip center near the Pizza Hut. Nearby Iuka has a number of stores that we visited to get provisions: Piggly Wiggly for groceries and Fred's for sundry items. Iuka even has a drive in theatre with great prices that is open on the weekend and definitely worth a visit.The cabin itself did had some problems, but these were more that offset by the overall experience. The shower had a few loose tiles on the floor and it was difficult to adjust the water temperature. Also, the air conditioner went out one night and the windows are nailed shut, so the cabin got warm. When we called the park office about the air conditioner in the morning they sent someone right out and then got someone from town to fix the problem. Thus they really did do their best to fix the problem.We did not get to do the daily canoe trip because the water levels were too high.We really enjoyed our stay. There is no television in the cabins and cell phone reception is poor so this was a quiet escape for us. As noted above the week we were there had few visitors so we enjoyed having much of the place to ourselves.

I read the review from September 25, 2014 and almost backed out of going to this park. We decided to try it. We went, scoped out the campsites and decided on site #34. It was a nice site. We had a place to pitch our tent. It backed up to a rather open grassy area, which allowed our kids room to play ball. After looking at the sites, one should scope out a site if they plan on tent camping. Not all areas are good for pitching a tent but they do have several sites that look good for tent camping. There are only two bathhouses for all the sites. The nights we were there they appeared cleaned and were not overly packed. The park was very pretty. It was a great crisp fall weekend to camp. Our family had a fantastic time and plan on returning.

This park has so much to offer. Mossy rock. Large boulders. Beautiful overhangs. Swinging bridge. Great places to picnic for small or large groups. We love it. You should carve out plenty of time to go and unwind. You won't regret it

What a great find! I am surprised how few people I talk to have been here. We took the Natchez Trace up from Jackson and it was a scenic drive, we really got to see the states geography change. We pulled our pop-up can set up at the campground which was nice, although the lake was low. On Saturday morning our family of 6 took the 6.5 mile Bear creek canoe trip which was beautiful. The kids and parents alike found it both relaxing and fun! On our way back to the campsite we stopped off at the well house and the kids had a blast running and climbing all over everything! We used the bathhouses at the campground and they were clean and well maintained. They next day we went for a hike on the Outcropping trail and the other adjacent trail, it was great lots of boulders and rock face to climb. We would love to return with proper climbing gear and really climb! They only complaint we have is poison ivy, our son got a bad case of it but we know that's part of the cost of having fun outdoors!

This is our third year to go to Tishomingo State Park. We always go in January or February and stay in one of the family cabins. The cabins are rustic and its very secluded. We usually stay three nights and spend two days hiking the trails. We love it and will continue to go. The staff is very nice and helpful.
