About Long Branch Campground
Tucked away on the southern shores of Enid Lake in northern Mississippi, Long Branch Campground offers an intimate escape into nature with 14 secluded tent-only sites. This non-electric campground embraces the simplicity of traditional camping, where thick canopies of native hardwoods filter the morning light and gentle lake breezes carry the sounds of wildlife. Families gather here to disconnect from the digital world and reconnect with each other, enjoying modern comfort stations with flush toilets, a cheerful playground where children's laughter echoes through the trees, and scenic picnic areas perfect for sunset dinners. The sandy beach invites afternoon swims, while the nearby boat ramp provides easy access to some of the South's most renowned fishing waters.
Long Branch Campground caters to tent campers with 14 non-electric campsites. There are no accommodations for RVs, cabins, or group camping.
Historical SignificanceLong Branch sits on the shores of Enid Lake, a remarkable achievement of the Yocona River dam project that has earned its place among America's Top 10 Fishing Spots – a testament to the exceptional bass, crappie, and catfish populations that draw anglers from across the nation. The campground serves as a perfect base for exploring the rich musical heritage of the Mississippi Delta, with Elvis Presley's legendary Graceland just a scenic drive away in Memphis, and his humble birthplace in nearby Tupelo offering glimpses into the King of Rock and Roll's Mississippi roots.
Weather and SeasonsSpring and fall paint Long Branch in perfect camping weather, with comfortable days averaging 51°F and crisp nights dipping to around 37°F – ideal for campfire gatherings and sleeping soundly in your tent. Spring brings wildflower blooms and migrating songbirds, while autumn transforms the surrounding forests into a tapestry of gold and crimson. Summer invites swimmers and anglers with warmer temperatures perfect for lake activities, and even the mild winter months offer peaceful solitude for those seeking off-season adventures under clear, star-filled skies.
ElevationThe campground rests at a gentle elevation along Enid Lake's southern shoreline, where the land meets water in a series of peaceful coves and natural beaches, creating an ideal setting for both water recreation and woodland exploration.
Natural Features and SceneryLong Branch Campground sits at the edge of a natural wonderland where 16,000 acres of pristine Enid Lake sparkle against a backdrop of 44,000 acres of verdant forest. Morning mists rise from hidden coves as great blue herons wade through the shallows, while the surrounding woodlands come alive with the chatter of squirrels and the rustle of white-tailed deer browsing at dawn. Raccoons emerge at dusk to explore the shoreline, chipmunks dart between towering oaks, and a kaleidoscope of butterflies dances through wildflower meadows. Birdwatchers delight in the diverse avian population, from melodious songbirds to majestic raptors soaring above the lake's expansive waters.
Geological RegionNestled in the rolling hills of northern Mississippi, Long Branch Campground occupies a unique position within the greater Enid Lake Recreation Area. This region showcases the successful transformation of the Yocona River valley into a sprawling reservoir system, where ancient creek beds now form secluded coves and former hilltops have become peninsulas. The surrounding forests represent a thriving ecosystem of mixed hardwoods and pines, creating a biodiverse habitat that supports an impressive array of wildlife. This careful balance of human engineering and natural preservation has created one of Mississippi's most treasured outdoor destinations, where the geological history of the region meets modern recreational opportunities.
