J P Coleman Campground

In a state park of the same name renowned for its lofty location overlooking the Tennessee River, the J P Coleman Campground is equally well-equipped to make your stay in the untamed wilderness of the riverbanks a relatively comfortable experience. Iuka campers are delighted to find dozens of paved RV camping sites here offering water, electric, and sewer hookups. Access to a dump station and bathhouses with restrooms, hot showers, and laundry facilities are also available. Maximum site length is 40 feet.

As most of the campsites at J P Coleman Campground are located in a wooded area with a view of the water or forested hillsides, campground visitors enjoy relative privacy, with premium sites located on the lakefront. Picnic pavilions, picnic tables, and grills enhance the camping experience. There are playgrounds for little ones and miniature golf and a swimming pool for grown-ups. The campground is built around the attractions of the 47,500-acre Pickwick Lake, where fishing, boating, and water skiing are irresistible adventures.

During certain months, motorhome camping in the park is made more exciting with scheduled events: "Build a Birdhouse" in March; the Annual Easter Egg Hunt in April; the Bass Fishing League Fishing Tournament in April and September; several fish tournaments in May; and Halloween in the Park in October.
