John W. Starr Memorial RV Park

What sets the John W. Starr Memorial RV Park apart is its serene, forested location that provides a peaceful retreat while being closely tied to the vibrant academic community of Mississippi State University. Offering well-maintained sites with electric hookups (30 and 50 amps), this modest campground is situated near the Charles E. Burkhardt Pavilion, a hub for forestry-related events like the Mid-South Forestry Equipment Show, adding a unique touch to the experience.

This RV park is ideal for travelers seeking a quiet and undisturbed atmosphere. With just 13 available sites, it prioritizes simplicity and functionality over luxury, featuring essentials like paved spots and access to potable water. Its proximity to Starkville, a town known for Mississippi State University's dynamic culture, along with outdoor attractions like the Noxubee National Wildlife Refuge and Tombigbee National Forest (both under 30 minutes away), makes it a practical choice for nature enthusiasts and those exploring the area.

Located approximately 7 miles south of Starkville, Mississippi, the park provides easy access to the town's amenities and is a convenient base for day trips to nearby natural and cultural attractions. This campground caters well to weekend getaways and short-term stays, emphasizing a connection to the surrounding forest and the university's forestry resources.
