Wall Doxey State Park

This is an older state park. The structures probably date back to the 1930's I am guessing. Some are dilapidated, but the lodge is well kept up and fairly impressive. Good size lake for kayaking and fishing. The campsites are on a loop with 2 cross roads going through. Most are very spacious compared to other NP and SP's I have been to. The outer sites are definitely the best with only wilderness behind you. The sites are generally situated to give you a view into the woods, and not straight over at another campsite. Power and water were fine. The bathouse was a little bit of a hike from our site, but not terrible. The bathouse was dated, but everything worked and it was clean. No complaints at all. REALLY liked the privacy/spaciousness/vegetation. Would definitely go back.

Had a great time here. Older park, but park staff were friendly and had a freezby golf course. Not many campers. Wooded camping area

Four stars means we’d stay here again if on our journey.
Stopped for one night on our way to Kansas. About ;6 miles off I22. Mid April, lots of open sites. All sites level, nice space between sites. A bit older as others have noted...not a negative for us, just wanted to note it. Quite place. Looked like good hiking trails, but we didn’t have time to sample.

Spacious, secluded sites that are level. Very convenient to Oxford, MS. However, the state park itself leaves much to be desired. When we were there the lake was murky and stagnant, so we didn’t kayak, which was one reason we had chosen to camp here. The park only offers one hiking trail, but if you’re into disc golf, they have that. BUT, the ticks are awful. However, that IS part of camping, so do come prepared. Additionally, the bath houses are awful. They haven’t been updated in years, and they are in rough shape. This would be a fine place to camp if you have a bathroom in your RV. Tent campers, just be prepared.

Earl and I stayed at Wall Doxey one night as we were working our way back to Florida. The first impression on arriving is that this is a well kept campground. The check-in process was not very intuitive (to me at least). An unstaffed gatehouse is used by day guest to pay user fees on the honor system. Campers are asked to check in before setting up their campsite. But where?

I drove to our reserved site to find it was posted as such, but again there were signs asking that campers check in at the office. On the way in we passed a large lodge building that may have housed the office so we returned to the lodge and approached a window where my advanced reservation was acknowledged and I was politely directed to proceed to the site. All of this took about 30 minutes. Maybe it is just me, but I did not find the check in process clear or hassle free.

Site 2 of the new section was level with water and power. Situated in dense woods along the western edge of the Holly Springs National Forest the site was dark even in the late afternoon and the views were limited to thick forest. Not much else to see and other campsites were well screened.

It seemed Earl and I were the only campers in that area of the park. There may have been others but if so, they were widely dispersed. In fact as it darkened, our site felt a little lonely and "Blair Witch Project" like in character.

I would only stay here again if passing through. In fact I would probably plan a different route that offered more choices of campgrounds. Not that Wall Doxey was terrible...but rather, there was nothing memorable about this stay.

We arrived after dark. The park is very hard to see around at night, so that is not suggested, but we made it work. We had site 49 and it was big enough for our 37 ft trailer, but had to unhook and park tow vehicle sideways. Didn’t use any of their facilities, but they had electric and water. We used 30 amp, but I believe it also had 50 amp. Quiet and not busy on the November Saturday that we were there. Tall beautiful trees surrounded us. Lots of leaves fallen made it difficult to see the road and site. Our site was paved and had a picnic table. A little un level. Behind the site has a fire ring and a grill/picnic table area.

Stayed over night in our van in the tent area - high and dry. Bathroom in good working order and clean. Lots of pine trees and lake was a short walk.

As other reviews stated, this Park needs attention. We didn't hate it. But would try somewhere different if thru here again. There are several sites that look like they have permanent residence. Saw one site that appeared to have someone homeless living there. For the price, I guess it was a good value. Large heavily wooded sites. Picnic table and fire ring. No dish satellite channels available. Antenna only got a few channels and they were poor quality.

The campground is surrounded by Woods. Because of that; there are a lot of mosquitoes right now (which is to be expected with the heat and humidity). The site we are at is level and it looks like all sites have pretty level concrete pads. You might want to bring filter if you plan to use water hookup. The road is paved but don’t get hurry because of heaves. Each site is pretty private from each other.

Holiday weekend and we felt lucky to get in. It’s 95 degrees and our long-haired German Shepherd cannot sleep without AC so we are very limited. This park has MONSTER ticks, lots of kids and lots of reserved spots. It is really convenient and glad we found it. Feels like we are in a tropical rain forest! Overall, it’s great for overnight. Would I drive from Colorado to camp here? Umm, NO! For a place to overnight, have a cocktail and move on? Yes.
