George P Cossar State Park
Guide

George P Cossar State Park is located on the banks of Enid Lake around seven miles north of the town Oakland off Mississippi Highway 32. The park can only be accessed from south due to Eind lake being above the park. There is one road that will take you directly to the park entrance (Co Rd-170) once you exist off Mississippi Highway 32. Apart from the town of Oakland there are a few more that are within a close vicinity to the park, including Pope, Courtland and Water Valley. The closest major city to the park is Oxford where The University of Mississippi can be found is around 36 miles away.

Driving to the park should be no problem for most of the journey, however when you get off Mississippi Highway 32 and head on Co Rd-170 you will notice the road gets narrower. This shouldn't prove too hard to navigate, but be aware of it so you can expect traffic coming the other way. The campground roads are also known for being a little on the skinny side but if you take care you will be able to navigate them without damaging your RV.
