Additional Info:
------------------------------
Piney Grove is a Corp campground located in Northeast Mississippi on Bay Springs lake. The reservation system will not be active for our Rally, but plenty of sites will be available; you pick your site on arrival. All of these sites have both 30 and 50 amp service, water hook-ups, picnic tables, grills, and fire rings. No sewer hook-ups but dump stations with easy access are within the park on exit route.
Sites 130, 131, 132, 133, 134, 135, 136, and 137 are located in a small circle around the Gazebo. Sites 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, and 88 are very near the inner circle as are sites 125, 127, 129, 138, and 139. There will be plenty of sites for our group. Again, we will not be able to reserve these sites so each of us will have to choose our site as we arrive at the campground. I will arrive on Sunday, October 2nd and will be available to help with site selection and check-in.
Campground will be operating on Honor System- You will find your site then fill out information on an envelope, put your CASH or CHECK into envelope and deposit in box at Gatehouse. No Plastic accepted.

A word of caution. I have heard many stories about using a GPS to find Piney Grove. The GPS will tell you to turn off onto a county road that cannot be accessed from the Natchez Trace.
If you are driving northeast from Tupelo on the Trace, take the first right after you cross over the TennTom waterway, then turn left on CR 1, John Rankin Highway, proceed to Highway 4, turn left, cross back over the waterway then turn right on CR 3501 proceeding north for 5 miles, turning right onto CR 3550 which will end at campground.
If you are driving southwest on the Trace, take the exit right before the Waterway, CR-1, John Rankin Highway, then turn left on CR 1, John Rankin Highway, proceed to Highway 4, turn left, cross over the waterway then turn right on CR 3501 proceeding north for 5 miles, turning right onto CR 3550 which will end at campground.
If you have any questions, contact me by email hogancooper@att.net
Note that the map on this page shows the campground at the mailbox for the campground. The campground is about two miles further down CR 3550.
