Dub Patton Campground

Hosted by US Army Corps of Engineers

New listing

Dub Patton Recreation Area sits along Arkabutla Lake and Dam in the hills of northwest Mississippi. The dam project is on the Coldwater River and offers some of the best sailing east of the Mississippi River. Families come to Arkabutla Lake to enjoy the great outdoors by fishing, boating, swimming, hiking and biking. Wildlife management areas around the lake boast a combined 30,000 acres of public hunting lands where whitetail deer, wild turkeys, quail and waterfowl roam. Several trails wind around the lake and throughout the nearby landscape: the Coldwater River Nature Trail System encompasses two hiking trails as well as an interpretive trail that helps educate hikers on the wildlife and ecosystem, and the Swinging Bridge Nature Trail is also nearby, including a section of land that was part of the river prior to the dam being built. Thousands of people each year visit to go fishing; the lake is home to several species native to Mississippi waters, such as largemouth bass, bream, catfish and crappie. This year-round campground offers 59 family sites and two group day-use shelters, all with electric hookups. Amenities include flush toilets, showers and drinking water, creating a comfortable camping experience for guests. The campground is situated on the waterfront, among rolling hills forested with a shady mixture of oak, hickory, beech, sweet gum and birch trees. The Lost Indian Spring Disc Golf Course is just below the Arkabutla Dam near Pratt Road; the course has 18 holes and is free to the public. The Senatobia Wetlands project is just a 30-minute drive away, providing educational displays and an area to observe wildlife and waterfowl.
