Our Take
What makes TOWN CREEK CAMPGROUND - WEST POINT - MS special
Town Creek Campground is set along the shores of Columbus Lake, a serene section of the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway in northeast Mississippi near West Point. The Tenn-Tom, as locals call it, is a remarkable 234-mile navigable corridor connecting the Tennessee River to the Gulf of Mexico, and Columbus Lake is one of its quieter, more scenic stretches. The surrounding terrain is gently rolling, with stands of Southern pine and bottomland hardwoods bordering the water. The campground offers around 50 sites with electric and water hookups, picnic tables, fire rings, and paved pads. Many sites are shaded and positioned near the water, offering views of the lake and the occasional barge gliding past. A boat ramp provides access to the lake, which is popular for bass fishing, crappie fishing, and leisure boating. The calm, sheltered waters are also well-suited to kayaking and canoeing. Spring and fall bring the best weather and fishing, with moderate temperatures and vibrant seasonal color. Summer is warm and humid but entirely manageable with lake access steps away. The historic city of Columbus, Mississippi, is nearby, offering Civil War-era architecture, great local restaurants, and the Tennessee Williams Welcome Center. Town Creek Campground appeals to travelers who appreciate uncrowded waterways, Southern hospitality, and the kind of slow, satisfying days that come from camping along a storied river route.
