Lake Mike Conner Campground

When you rent an RV near Collins, Mississippi, consider parking at one of the campsites at Lake Mike Connor Campground, far enough off the beaten path to guarantee peace and quiet, but not so far that getting back becomes an issue. This back-to-basics RV campground is away from the major highways, not just sheltered by a wall of trees, but still a short drive away from a corner store. It's also situated right on the lake it takes its name from, meaning swimming and boating are only steps away on the lake. The individual campsites have electric and water hookups (but no sewer hookup), and the RV park is child and pet-friendly, with big rig access and some pull-through campsites.

If you do need to get back into town to fuel up your rental RV, stock up on groceries, or just wander around and take in the sights, the town of Collins is just down the road. It has a number of fast-food restaurants for a quick meal on the run, auto parts stores, a cafe and dollar store, a waterpark, and a couple of urban parks where you can take a leisurely stroll as compared to an energetic hike. If you're in the mood to get some dirt on your hands, there is a family-run commercial farm nearby that is open to the public and worth spending time at, especially if you have younger kids with you. You might also consider taking your RV rental for a spin on the local highways; driving an RV is just one of the unique features of a vacation like this, and one that you don't want to miss.
