Besides the lack of maintaining the disc golf course and some basic trail maintenance in some spots this place is a gem. Campsite hook ups were functional and the site itself was level with lantern hanger, awesome fire pit and grill and a large picnic table to boot. The lake has a nice trail around it and we saw more than a few fishermen from the shore and in boats. Great time of year as well. Camp host was friendly and had the place looking swell.

Love Choctaw Lake campground. Beautiful place and Campground host Danny Parks is a treasure. One of the cleanest and most peaceful places we have been. Hope to have many more adventures there in the future!!!
Only downside is no sewer hook ups.

We liked camp site #20. The camp host was very nice. The only thing that prevents me from giving a higher ratings is the showers or lack of. There is only one shower each for men and women. They utilize push buttons to turn the water on and off and the water temp is not adjustable.
The campground is well kept and most sites are shaded.

It was a great week. My sister and I spend the first week of June at Choctaw Lake to celebrate our parents that have past away. Their home church was Bear Creek in Weir,MS and they have their homecoming the first Sunday in June. We alway enjoy the beauty of Choctaw Lake that my mother and daddy spent many vacation weeks, their favorite place to camp. The beauty has remained throughout the years and the Host is one of the nicest and most helpful of any place we have stayed. Thank you for maintaining such a beautiful place, looking forward to next June!

What a hidden gem! The campground was half full yet it was one of the most peaceful, beautiful campgrounds we have been to. It deserves more people getting out and enjoying it!
