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!
