Available Nov 13–15 · 2 nights52 sites open for every nightA forested campground near hiking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.
Chewalla Lake Recreation Area sits roughly 81/2 miles southeast of Holly Springs, Mississippi, on a 260-acre, no-wake lake edged with a sandy swimming beach and a ring of pine, oak and sweetgum. The calm water makes it easy to launch a canoe or kayak from the on-site boat ramp and keeps swimmer areas pleasant and sheltered; anglers will find largemouth bass, bream, crappie and catfish in the shallows and deeper spots.

















Length limits vary by campsite.
Limited electric sites.

“We had a great time staying in this area. Even had enough AT&T service to win a whatnot auction.”
“The campground is old and mostly primitive sites. You can tell the campground manager is working to improve the camper sites. The bathhouse is old and not super clean but had hot water for my shower. The trail around the lake is serene. ”
“Beautiful spot. Camp host was very nice, friendly and helpful. Wish we planned better and could have stayed a couple days longer”

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.
Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (1,562 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
