New listing

Persimmon Hill is a quiet, family-oriented campground that sits along the banks of Enid Lake in the forests of northeast Mississippi. Enid Lake has been recognized as one of the top 10 fishing locations in America, with white crappie, bass and catfish available in abundance. The lake is the home of the world record white crappie, which weighed an impressive 5 pounds, 3 ounces, and fishing tournaments are held annually. Hiking trails wind along the lakeshore and throughout the surrounding landscape, offering hiking, biking and horseback riding opportunities. Boating is a popular pastime, and boat ramps are provided at the campground. Persimmon Hill offers 72 campsites, along with three large group picnic shelters. Modern amenities like full hookups and flush toilets are provided, and a playground and interpretive trail offer additional recreation. Picnic areas complete with grills and tables make the area perfect for parties or family trips. Persimmon Hill has been selected twice as one of America's Top 100 Family Campgrounds. Enid Lake is part of a dam project on the Yocona River. The dam creates almost 16,000 acres of water for the millions of annual visitors to enjoy, and an additional 44,000 acres of thick, green forests surrounding the lake offer countless opportunities for campers, equestrians, hikers and more. Memphis, Tennessee, about an hour away, offers plenty of famous tourist attractions.
