Best Time to Camp at Whitten Park

Spring arrives early at Whitten Park, with peak season welcoming visitors from March through late September when warm sunshine dances on the water and perfect swimming weather prevails. As autumn paints the forest in brilliant hues, the non-peak season (September 22 through December 31) offers its own rewards—crisp air, peaceful solitude, and spectacular fall colors reflected in the calm waterway. Winter brings a partial hibernation to the campground, with loops 2 and 3 closing for the season, creating an even more intimate camping experience for those who embrace the cooler months.

About Whitten Park

Nestled along the scenic Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway, Whitten Park (affectionately known as Fulton Campground) beckons adventurers with its perfect blend of water recreation and woodland tranquility. Here, mornings begin with the gentle lapping of waves against three welcoming boat docks, while afternoons invite you to sink your toes into the sandy swimming beach. Nature trails wind through the surrounding forest like secret passages, revealing glimpses of wildlife and offering peaceful escapes beneath towering canopies. Whether you're casting a line at sunrise, enjoying a lakeside picnic, or exploring the meandering trails, this waterfront haven promises memories that linger long after you've packed up camp.
