Tishomingo State Park in Mississippi

Anyone been there and have anything to say about this park and campground? The reviews are all over the place - from awful to wonderful. We plan on staying 2 nights and the reasons we picked this park are for the hiking trails and the CCC history.

    I don't remember any hiking trails but you should be able to check online. I doubt there is history in the park but there should be some within a short drive.
    Thanks. I have looked online and it doesn't look like it will work for us. This stop will be specifically to take a break from driving and we like to hike and enjoy history.

    Looks like Tishomingo SP will be it.
    Thanks again to everyone who responded. :)

    I do see this has great reviews... Are there hiking trails? Any history?

    We camped at Tishomingo in 2013. We loved the trails and the CCC buildings. The campground itself is not one of our favorites but like you, we went for the hiking and it was along the Natchez Trace Parkway. Here is a link to my blog about this campground.

    Thanks much for the description - this is pretty much why we want to go. :)
