About Whitten Park Campground
What sets the Jamie L. Whitten Historical Center Campground apart is its harmonious blend of modern conveniences with serene natural beauty, all within steps of the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway. This peaceful retreat delights campers with shady, well-maintained sites that include concrete pads, full water and electric hookups, and amenities designed for comfort, such as clean restrooms, showers, and a laundry facility. The soft rustle of tree branches and the expansive water views create a calming backdrop to your stay.
The campground offers 60 sites, many with waterway views, and boasts easy access to activities like fishing, hiking, boating, and swimming. Nature trails wind through wooded areas, while a sandy beach with a gazebo invites visitors to relax beside the water. Families will appreciate the playgrounds, while anglers can enjoy the dedicated fishing piers. The nearby Jamie L. Whitten Historical Center enriches the visit with educational exhibits, picnic pavilions, and a scenic terrace overlooking the waterway, all within a short walk of the sites.
Conveniently located just 4 miles from Fulton and easily accessible from I-22, the campground offers a tranquil escape without sacrificing convenience. Within a 30-minute drive, visitors can explore Tupelo, the birthplace of Elvis Presley, or enjoy dining and marina activities at Midway Marina. Whether you’re seeking a restful stopover or a full-fledged vacation, this campground delivers a unique combination of natural and historical experiences.
