Clear Springs Recreation Area (MS)

Facilities and campgrounds were fantastic. The website is incredibly confusing with no proper site maps. Onsite reservation is sketchy due to spotty internet signal. All things considered we really enjoyed camping at Clear Springs.

The roads are rough and you may not have enough of a signal to do onsite registration (if you don't reserve in advance), so bring cash. The lower sites are next to a swamp area, however they are well spaced and nice. The bathrooms work but get cleaned sporadically.

Extremely peaceful campground. This is exactly the kind of place I prefer to camp at, no road noise, relatively few campsites, clean/functional showers. I only wish I had known about it sooner.

The trails are great for day hikes as well! Pretty little creeks with sandstone banks/creek beds.

Beautiful place despite the poor data.

Overall good. Restrooms and showers were in need of maintenance and the daily cleaning wasn’t being well done. Needs an update and a good scrub. Otherwise, the sites were nice, level, and good sized.

Nice walking. Trail around lake a little rough in places but it was not yet Spring.

Clear Spring is a very nice place to camp. The roads need to be fixed.

We tent camped in the lower loop. The area was big enough for our 9x13 tent (tarp recommended because we were on gravel) and our two vehicles. There were hook-ups for an RV; we used the water spout and one extention cord. There was a large picnic table and a fire ring with a cooking grate. I would bring firewood if we went again (there are plenty of pinecones, but not much else). The restrooms were a short walk uphill; they were clean and had hand soap and tissue. We did do the hiking trail around the lake. We started in the picnic area and ended near our site. The beginning of the trail and endding were not well marked, the middle was extremely easy to follow. There were several little bridges and stair areas and we came across a little garter snake (skinny and maybe 2 ft. long) on the trail- highlight for the kids. We will be back when it get cool again.

Quiet and peaceful setting.
Campsites and bathhouse/ restrooms clean and well maintained

The site was cleaned. Water and electricity was superb. Amenities are in good condition. Although it stormed in the area, we had no issues with flooding or damage. The only thing we didn't like are the chigger bites. 😂 Cell phone service is accessible with certain providers. This is our 2nd year attending group site The staff was kind and helpful. He even check on us after the storm.
