Tips & Recommendations

1Always bring current vaccination records for your pets, as some campgrounds may request documentation, and ensure your dog wears identification tags with current contact information throughout your stay.
2Pack a pet first-aid kit including tick removal tools, as Mississippi's forests and grasslands harbor ticks year-round, with peak activity from April through September.
3Bring plenty of fresh water for your pet, as lake and stream water may contain parasites or bacteria, and consider a collapsible water bowl for trail adventures.
4Leash requirements are strictly enforced at all featured campgrounds, typically requiring leashes no longer than six feet, so bring sturdy leads appropriate for your dog's size and strength.
