Overview

Whitten Park Campground attracts thousands of outdoor enthusiasts for picnicking, fishing and swimming on the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway. Easy access to three boat docks, nature trails and a sandy swimming beach with a gazebo overlooking the waterway, make Whitten Park a welcoming destination for campers.

Whitten Park is also referred to as Fulton Campground because of its location in Fulton, Mississippi.

Anglers can try their luck on the fishing dock or go off-shore in search of bass and crappie. Hikers will enjoy many nature trails, which weave through wooded wildlife habitats.

The campground offers 60 sites with electric and water hookups. The three camp loops provide easy access to playgrounds and showers.
