Nice and quiet with lots of open sites. We reserved site 71. Camp host came and greeted us on arrival with helpful directions to the site. Full hook up with 50 amp service for $24 a night. The kids enjoyed the playground and the sunsets over the water were amazing. Minimal lighting in the campground gave great views of the night sky. Not far away is the small town of Batesville MS where you can find most anything you might need. Oak Grove is a really nice place to stop for a week or so in December if you are looking for a less crowded full hook up site.
Site #65. The good, it's by the water with nice views, and boat launch. The bad, it's by the boat launch... If you don't mind boats keeping you from sleeping late at night, or early in the morning, then this is your spot. It rained enough last night that it's obvious this is a good spot if you don't care if your seating area is flooded. Not sure why our camp spot wasn't cleaned before we arrived. The picnic table was particularly dirty. The best was the thick layer of cooking grease left by someone slathered on the table top. Price is good for what you get, that's about it. The septic lines are mounted high if your space has one. You'll need something to slope the line. The campground hosts were very nice. Very few OATV channels. 1-2 acceptable Verizon bars.
Wonderful site 65 almost a 360 view of the lake. Vic finally got to fish. Will be returning for a longer stay. Here 11/3 - 11/7/22. Only downside when it rained we got surrounded by water
The good:. Oak Grove is a fairly large COE campground on Sardis Lake near Sardis, MS. There are lots of trees for shade, yet we were able to pick up our Dish Satellite from site 76. Verizon cell signal and internet was bad until we got away from the campground. Our drive was long enough to just fit our 38' motorhome and toad. There are quite a few full hook up sites throughout the campground, though not all. 76 is full hook up. The best loop, in my opinion, is the small loop to the left of the campground entrance. The asphalt was a little broken in our site, but we were able to level out, easily. The campground was really quiet and peaceful until the Memorial Day weekend...then it filled to capacity. Oak Grove is near Oxford, MS, which we found to be a lovely town with anything you might need. It is also a very doable trip into Memphis, as well as Tupelo, MS...the birthplace of Elvis. They have a great little museum dedicated to Elvis. The bad: We've been here over a week, now. When we arrived, there was no place to check in, so we found our site and set up. No one has ever checked to see if we were supposed to be here, or not. There is a camp host site near the entry, but I've yet to even see them. As crowded as the grounds have been over this holiday weekend, we've not seen the first ranger patrol through. As there was no check in procedure, we received no map, no emergency numbers, and no car tag, so there is no control over who comes through here. There has also been no enforcement of rules... speeding through the campground, unleashed, barking dogs, etc. The grass was really in need of mowing when we arrived. Finally, right before the memorial day weekend, a crew came in and rapidly moved through in a hit and miss sort of way. The grass in our site is still well over my ankles. All in all, we would stay here, again, if passing through the area, but it wouldn't be our first choice.
Why do they have to charge for nature only a greedy human charges for something like this. I get up keep but 30 freaking Dollars for a spot and it's only for campers like what??? Places like this really make me very angry!!
Oak Grove campground is my favorite place to tent camp. The park is well maintained and clean. There is a playground for the kids, swimming areas, a pier to fish from or just sit and enjoy the view. Each camp site has a fire pit, grill and picnic table. Bath house has hot water. Boaters can put in on the lower or upper lake.
Clean and well maintained. Superb staff. Great camping. Clean restrooms and showers.
This is a beautiful, quiet camping ground gem. Very close to the dam spillway. Fishing opportunities all around! Also sandstone trail is close by if you enjoy nature walks.
really nice clean well managed camp grounds, only reason i haven't put 5 stars is I like the deep forest camping sites.
Was nice place Nats were bad, and may Flys appeared, otherwise loved it there, people were, friendly ,host and rangers were great, wanted to go back but can't get a seservation when we can go.
