The sites mostly all big and level. Really enjoyed the waterfront site we had. Was able to watch the wildlife on the lake right from our RV.

We really enjoyed the trip to Davis Lake. Our campsite was great. We just enjoyed our down time and relaxation. We definitely plan on returning several times soon.

The campsites away from the water's edge are very shaded. The area is well maintained. The camp host is available for problem solving. during my two days of camping, I saw her several times maintaining the facilities.

Davis lake is our most favorite place to take our family of 6. We love the location and the atmosphere. We also love the campground host! Becky is always amazing and so accommodating. Only way Davis lake could be better is if it were full hookup! But it sure isn’t gonna keep us from coming ! We looooove Davis lake.

Good value park to stay not far from Tupelo
I travelled here with a 35’ 5th wheel, long bed pickup and parked in site #6, an E/W, BI site for $15 a night with an America the Beautiful Sr. Pass. The roads and sites were asphalt. Watch the road as it had several good sized potholes and a hard right turn to get out of the lakeside loop. There are two sections of the park – one in a wooded area and one down lakeside. The lakeside sites are more open to the sun, less private and are close to the lake. The sites are spacious and the picnic area has a small table by the raised charcoal grill which was a nice touch. This site was very level. The bathhouse was clean, but the showers were locked. The washer was $1.75 but the dryer was out of order. I had 1 bar LTE with Verizon, 20.1 mbps download speed, no wifi and a small handful of OTA stations. The campground is 4 miles off the Natchez Trace and the road to there is a bit bumpy. The lake has some “spits” built out into the water which were lovely for sitting or fishing from the shore. It is a “no wake” lake so it was really peaceful and quiet. The dump station is kind of narrow. I couldn’t walk between the rig and the shrubs along side. The CG is about 30 minutes from Tupelo. I enjoyed my stay there and would stay again.

Great quiet little campground. Our site, #18, was right on the lake and across from the bath house and laundry. It was great in November (didn't need shade). Convenient to the Natchez Trace and Tanglefoot Trail, four and five miles away, on which we rode our bikes. Clean campground and facilities.

We stayed at Davis Lake on site #18. The site was clean and level. We were close to the water so we had easy access to the lake to launch our kayaks. I like that the lake is a "no wake" lake which made kayaking more enjoyable, as well as not having the sounds of loud boats and jet skis. C-Spire cell service was limited, but Dish Network reception was good. The only downfall is the road going in.

Wonderful overnight stay on our travels through the area. Well maintained, spacious, beautiful setting.
Good
@DavidH380 · Camped on Aug 30, 2021 at Campsite #18
Always have a great time at the Lake. We enjoy just sitting around talking to new friends. Only negative thing is grass is always in need of cutting. Especially around the shower/rest room area.

The campground was clean except for grills and fire pits. The host have plenty of time to perform this task. Need to open all showers. Other than that everything was fine.

Sweet little park. We stayed in early January and appeared to be only 1 of 3, other than a camp host. Sites are nicely spaced. We had one directly on the lake. We reserved and paid online, and drove directly to our site. There was no gate or office, no signage posted to show our reservation, and no one came by to check on us. This was no problem for us as we are pretty independent. Due to COVID, we did not use the bathrooms, and it rained all day one of the 2 days we stayed. A bonus was the availability of a washer and dryer which we saw, but did not use. Uncommon for a state park in our experience. We would stay at Davis Lake again.

We loved this place! A small campground that was only half full in September. Beautiful lake and just the perfect size for kayaking and fishing. Campground was VERY quiet. Clean facilities. Couldn't ask for more. We will definitely be going back!

Davis Lake Recreation Area is situated just 4 miles from the Natchez Trace Parkway. The campground is adjacent to the Eastern shore of the 200 acre Davis Lake. 14 sites are right on the lake front offering spectacular sun rises and evening sun sets, The lake is known to anglers, and wildlife and birds are a given...we had a Great Blue Heron "friend" during our entire stay. The sites were level, paved, and all had nice spacing, picnic tables, fire pits and well cared for electric service (50 amp) and water. Dump station. Bathhouses were clean and laundry was available. Plenty of historic places to visit in the area and groceries are available in Houlka just 4 miles away. We visited in late September with only 6 sites in use...felt like we had the place to ourselves...and being located in the Tombigbee National Forest there was no light pollution making the night sky a spectacular sight to see.
