Good Place to Camp and Cache in MS?

[+mntdewgoof06]

My friends and I are looking for a fun place with lots of caches to camp for a few nights and cache during the day somewhere in Mississippi..we're looking for suggestions..thanks for your help!

First, let me invite you over to MSGA.net -- that is the Mississippi Geocacher's Association site, and you'll get a lot more replies over there. There are several cachers from the Starkville area active on that site, so you'll be able to make some helpful connections, find out about local/regional events, find out what are some "must-do" caches, etc.

 

Now, to answer your question, my 1st suggestion would be Wall Doxey State Park, just south of Holly Springs, MS. There is camping, 2 disc golf courses, and several caches in the park. They are especially fun when you start out after them at around 10:30 at night in mid-March. You would also be close enough to head into Oxford for some of the caches there.

 

Trace and Tombigbee Parks don't have as many caches in the park, but put you pretty close to Tupelo. Enid Lake (George P Cossar State Park) might be another option.

 

There are also quite a few around Arkabutla Lake (south of Southaven and Hernando). However, contact the office there, as some of their campgrounds will be closed soon for repair work and construction.

 

Hope this gives you some starting points, and we look forward to seeing you at msga.net
