Long Branch Campground

Long Branch Campground is located on the south side of Enid Lake, a quiet, family oriented campground situated along the banks of the lake in the forests of northern Mississippi. It is designed for camping without utilities and is popular among individuals who enjoy a quiet camping experience. This family friendly campground has 14 campsites with no hook-ups, each with a charcoal grill, picnic table, lantern holder, and fire ring. An accessible comfort station with flush toilets is located in the middle of the campground. Other amenities include a playground, five picnic sites, a beach and a boat ramp. Enid Lake offers access for boating, fishing, and designated swimming areas. It has been recognized as one of America's Top 10 Fishing Spots, with white crappie, bass and catfish available in abundance, and it is the home of the world record white crappie, which weighed an impressive 5 pounds, 3 ounces. Fishing tournaments are held annually at the lake. Enid Lake is part of a dam project on the Yocona River. The dam creates almost 16,000 acres of water, and an additional 44,000 acres of thick, green forests surrounding the lake offer countless recreational opportunities for campers, equestrians, hikers and more. Some sites offer a view of the lake, and the surrounding woods provide habitat for squirrels, raccoons, chipmunks, deer, butterflies, and a variety of birds. The nearby towns of Water Valley and Batesville, Mississippi offer shopping, hotels, restaurants and emergency care facilities if needed. Memphis, Tennessee is approximately 60 miles away and offers tours of Graceland, Elvis Presley's home; his birthplace is in nearby Tupelo, Mississippi.
