Common questions

How do I book a National Forest campground in Mississippi?

Of the 14 National Forest campgrounds on record, 8 book through Recreation.gov and 6 are first-come, first-served with no reservations.

Does the interagency pass work at National Forest campgrounds?

The pass itself covers entrance and day-use fees on National Forest land, not the nightly camping fee; the Senior Pass may give 50 percent off some amenity fees, camping among them (nps.gov, read 2026-09-26).
