It was quite and peaceful. The grounds were very well kept. The cleanest camping grounds I have ever been to. The bath house needed more than one shower but we managed. We had a great time. We will definitely come back.

The facilities were very clean, and the playground was a hit with the kids. We really enjoyed our time at Choctaw Lake.

Excellent family day at Choctaw Lake in the large pavilion. It was rainy and drizzly weather but we were all under cover and even started a fire. Looking forward to when the restrooms can open.

The campground was very nicely spaced and quiet. It was a beautiful place to camp.
The only suggestion would be to have updated trail maps at the trail heads to show how they are laid out.

This is a very beautiful recreation area. The campground is very nice with 21 sites, many of which will fit larger RVs. There are very nice walking and biking trails in this area. Currently you can only do advance reservations on sites 13 - 21. It would be nice if they had more online advance reservation sites.

Our stay was great! We came to camp and hike the Noxubee Hills Trail System. The campsite was wonderful. We had site 20. The nearest restroom was not open, but the walk to the central restroom/showers was not too far. We tent camped, and our site had water and electrical access. The trail system is used by hikers, bikers, and for some parts horse back. We have already planned a trip back.
