Whitten Park

The park is in desperate need of updates. The trails are overgrown . The what used to be beach is now grass the piers are rotting. The bathrooms have no or almost no shower curtains and part of the showers barely work . We hadn't been in a few years and we're surprised but because we love it there we will continue to go but hoping for renovations. Desperately needed

The gate associates were very friendly and courteous even though I arrive a little early for the rather late 4 pm check-in. The park was pretty well maintained. The paved area for parking is rather narrow but we managed even with a pretty high drop off around the site ( # 18). Oher than that we enjoyed our stay.

Park's host was rude.
Park has camping spots too closely located to each other.
We were told we would have to change spots because we were not in the right one, so we left during the night.
I will never go back to this campground.

What a beautiful campground! We found Jamie Whitten Park/Fulton Recreation Campground in Fulton, Mississippi, by accident. We were traveling home to Arkansas from Tampa (post Milton), and just looking for a place to stop for the night. I found this place on RV Life. This is a COE (Core of Engineers) campground. Cost is very reasonable ($30. / night) if you are a senior and have a senior Federal park pass, it's only $15./night. We are staying for 3 nights! This park is located on the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway, which is a lock system joining the 2 rivers. So the park is right on the water. Our space is about 50 yards from the waters edge. There are several docks and boat launches in the area, and a Marina is about half a mile down the road. There is a public boat launch and several picnic pavilions before the entrance to the park. Really, you need to check this place out! There are spaces for RVs, trailers, and tent camping. Most (maybe all?) spaces have electric and water hookups. There is a dump station on the way in. All spaces have concrete level pads. There are large green spaces for kids to play and extra parking for extra cars. There are nice restrooms and bath houses on each of the three loops, with abt 20 parking/camping spaces per loop. Also, there are bike trails as well as walking paths to the docks and waters edge.We stayed in space 9 on the first loop. It's a nice large pull thru site. We're looking forward to going back.

Always a great stay here. Nice park great access to the waterway for fishing
