About this campground

Escape to the tranquil shores of Plum Point Campground, where the gentle lapping of Enid Lake creates the perfect soundtrack for your tent camping adventure. This peaceful, family-friendly retreat on the lake's northern edge offers an authentic back-to-nature experience without sacrificing comfort. Modern amenities blend seamlessly with the natural environment, featuring clean comfort stations with flush toilets, a delightful playground where children's laughter mingles with bird songs, and direct beach access for those lazy afternoon swims. Launch your boat from the convenient ramp to explore the lake's hidden coves, or simply spread out a picnic blanket and watch the sunset paint the water in shades of gold.
Plum Point Campground is a primitive, tent-only campground that accommodates small groups. RVs and utility hookups are not supported.
Historical SignificanceYour camping adventure at Plum Point places you at the crossroads of American music history. Just a scenic drive away, Memphis beckons with the legendary Graceland, where Elvis Presley's spirit still rocks the mansion halls. Head the other direction to Tupelo, where the King of Rock 'n' Roll took his first breath and strummed his first guitar. This unique location allows you to blend outdoor recreation with cultural exploration, creating a vacation that feeds both your adventurous spirit and your soul.
Weather and SeasonsSpring through early fall transforms Plum Point into a camper's paradise, with peak season running from March 1 to October 1. During these months, you'll discover why seasoned campers return year after year – moderate temperatures create perfect conditions for both daytime adventures and comfortable nighttime sleeping under the stars. The dry humidity means less condensation on your tent and more enjoyable evenings around the campfire, making every week during the season ideal for your outdoor escape.
Natural Features and SceneryImmerse yourself in the breathtaking tapestry of Enid Lake, where pristine waters meet lush forests in a spectacular display of Mississippi's natural beauty. The campground offers front-row seats to nature's ever-changing show – watch morning mist rise from the lake's surface while thick green forests come alive with activity. This biodiverse wonderland hosts an enchanting cast of wildlife: playful squirrels chase through the canopy, curious raccoons investigate evening campsites, chipmunks dart between fallen logs, and graceful deer emerge at twilight. Overhead, butterflies dance on warm breezes while a symphony of songbirds provides the day's soundtrack.
Geological RegionNestled in the rolling terrain of Northern Mississippi's Hill Country, Plum Point sits along the magnificent Enid Lake – an engineering marvel created by damming the Yocona River. This 44,000-acre wilderness sanctuary surrounds the lake with dense forests that have thrived for generations. The unique geography creates diverse ecosystems where upland hardwoods transition to wetland habitats, offering campers an extraordinary variety of landscapes to explore. The dam project has transformed this region into one of Mississippi's premier outdoor recreation destinations, where the ancient hills meet modern conservation efforts.
