It’s also been rated as having one of the Best Small Town Cultural Scenes by USA Today and has the nickname of “The Friendly City.” Though it may be small, there’s quite a bit to do, with numerous cultural and historical festivities taking place throughout the year. The nearby rolling hills and expansive lakes also make this a favorite for outdoor lovers who choose a camper rental in Columbus.

The Great Outdoors

For an afternoon in nature without much of a drive, look to Lee Park on the north end of town. They’ve got some excellent play equipment for the little ones and it’s a great spot for a picnic during your Columbus RV rental adventure. Columbus Propst Park on the southwestern edge is also a good choice; with a beautiful walking trail circling its grassy fields.

If you’re searching for watersports, look no further than Lake Lowndes. It’s just a few miles outside of town, on the Mississippi/Alabama border, and is a local favorite when it comes to cooling off in the summer. For hiking, there’s the award-winning Opossum Trail and there are football, tennis, and softball fields available if you want toget out of your luxury RV rental in Columbus and get a game going.

An hour’s drive away is Tombigbee National Forest, a 67,000-acre playground for nature enthusiasts. Camping and fishing on one of the forest’s lakes are the most popular activities to do there, but also check out the Natchez Trace trail, which takes visitors on a journey through the area’s history as a crossroads for the Antebellum-era slave trade.

RV Parks

The low population density and largely rural character of eastern Mississippi means you should have no trouble finding a good RV park within driving distance of Columbus. Hidden Cove RV Park and Campground is just outside of town on the north side. With full hookups and waterfront sites, it makes a good option for staying in an RV rental near Columbus, and it’s close to Lion Hills Golf Course if you want to play a round or two.

Another option worth considering is Parkwood RV Park a few miles down the road. Although not very big, they have laundry facilities and a dump station to make traveling with your Columbus RV rental just a bit easier. Facilities are limited, but if a park with all the basic amenities is all you need, this could work just fine.

For short-term stays you might want to check out the Walmart off Highway 50. With manager permission you can usually stay for a night or two, though it won’t have any of the amenities you’d find at dedicated RV parks. There’s also a truck stop on the northeastern corner of town where you could camp in a pinch, but it’s also a good place to fuel up your RV rental in Columbus, Mississippi.

Exploring the City

If you have even the slightest interest in architecture or historical homes, you’ll definitely need to take a tour of some of the more famous ones when renting a motorhome in Columbus. The home of playwright Tennessee Williams is one of the most popular attractions in town. While it no longer sits in its original location, the late 19th-century Victorian house is a treasure trove of artifacts associated with the man that penned “A Streetcar Named Desire” and “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof”. There are a few other interesting homes worth checking out in Columbus including Whitehall, Riverview, White Arches, and Rosedale.

If you’re a fan of auto racing, plan for an afternoon at the Magnolia Motor Speedway during your Columbus travel trailer rental vacation. The 3/8-mile dirt oval has some great events held every week or two throughout the year. For the best possible experience, be sure to bring some earplugs (those cars are really loud!) and something comfortable to sit on.

Columbus has a number of great restaurants to dine in, but as this is the Deep South, you’ll surely want to chow down on some delicious barbeque. Mississippi doesn’t have the purist ethos of Memphis or Kansas City, allowing space for a mix of tasty traditions. What you will find is great BBQ in unexpected places, with some of the best meats being cooked at gas stations and roadside stands. If barbecue isn’t your thing, you’ll also find Chinese, Mexican and Italian options in Columbus.

Columbus is a great place to experience the warmth of Southern hospitality and all that this part of the country has to offer. Book your RV rental in Columbus, MS today and start planning your Deep South adventure.
