Family Fun at Little Black Creek Campground and Park Blue Heron

My family enjoys riding around the park in a golf cart with our binoculars and camera trying to spot different birds and other animals to photograph.

Here are a few photos I took either while riding around the park on the golf cart or taken from the porch of the cabin my family rented.

Magnolia with Bug

Dragonflies flying over Lily Flower. Photo taken by day use area. Love the colors of the photo must be the way the sunlight hit the water when I was taking the photo because the water doesn’t look like that. 
 
The only animals we haven’t seen at the park yet is deer and rabbits. We have heard there are deer and rabbits at the park. 
 
Also, snakes which I thankfully haven’t EVER seen! And, don’t want to see.

 

Riding Bikes 

The park offers lots of space to ride bikes. Prepare for a workout with all the hills, though it’s a bit of a workout going uphill going downhill can be fun.

The area around the day use beach and the camping sites upfront near the entrance of the park seems to be the flattest area of the park. Perfect for riding bikes with little ones. You may want to let children wear their bike helmets.

Enjoying Sunsets and Night While Having Family Fun at Little Black Creek Campground and Park

The sky at the park definitely doesn’t disappoint. I suggest finding a place at the park whether it’s at the cabin you’re renting, a camping site, or grab a blanket and have an evening picnic.
 
But, you’ll want to enjoy the beautiful sky and the way it looks over the water at least once.

Isn’t the sky beautiful? It reminds me of a painting. 
 
 
 

As you can see, the park offers a lot of fun activities. And you can also create your own family fun.

Additionally, you could make s’mores and roast hotdogs on the fire pit like we did and make a craft with the kids like my popsicle stick tent craft. 

Whether you like staying indoors playing cards and board games, or prefer enjoying the great outdoors Little Black Creek will not disappoint. 

Photo taken on a different night then the above sky photographs. 

 
 
So if you’re lucky enough to get a reservation, or live near the park, or find yourself passing through Lumberton, Mississippi,  you should stop even if it’s for the day.
 
It’s excellent for families or for anyone that’s looking for a great place where people will treat you like family!

    Wow, this place has so many amenities! We typically do more off-grid camping in the backcountry, but I do enjoy a campground with a shower and things to do. I wish this was closer to Colorado!

      Hi Emmy,

      As a former backpacker I love camping off the grid in the backcountry. But, I married a man that thinks camping has to be in a cabin or RV ..lol! So I guess I’m lucky places like this exist. If you have find yourself in this neck of the woods check it out! Enjoy the rest of your week, Kim

    That does sound like a fun place to camp at. I have always loved staying in cabins but tents are not for me just yet. I need a cool night to sleep and access to a bathroom and it seems like most campgrounds offer this so maybe I could try a tent. Or maybe I should play it safe and stay in a camper, that way I get the best of both worlds, either way this place looks awesome.

      Hi Melissa! Honestly if I had a camper I would be going all over the place. Cabins are nice when you don’t have a camper and I like air conditioner during the summer ..lol! Tents were better when I was younger. But, I’m lucky I have a place around me like Little Black Creek. Enjoy your day, Kim

    Thanks so much, Kim! We're actually staying in two of the bungalows (24 & 29). I found a few pictures of them on Facebook yesterday of the inside. They look adorable! We're getting really excited. Thanks again for such a quick reply!

    Hi Amanda, thank you for taking the time to read my post and leave a message. My family loves Little Black Creek and the owners are very nice, and usually at the campground. The employee's are friendly and are great about answering questions and concerns.

    If you are staying in a Cabin you will need to bring sheets, pillowcases, towels and washcloths. I recommend bringing an inexpensive round tablecloth for the inside table and cheap rectangle picnic tablecloth w/clips, bug spray, some kind of rope or portable clothes line (they don't have washer & dryer) so make sure to bring enough clothes. I would also bring extra shoes, bug spray, extra toilet paper, paper towels, and garbage bags. They have a little store on site that sells ice and other stuff. You can buy firewood there for making a fire in the firepits or you can bring your own firewood. They have barbeque pits, but we brought a small one. You'll need charcoal and bring alumnuim foil. You can bring your bikes and Golf Cart . You can also rent a golf cart for $70 a day. Oh and a laundry bag or hamper for your dirty clothes! I also brought paper plates and cups so I wouldn't have to do dishes. I hope that helps, Kim (they have dishes, utensils, pots and a microwave) Bring your coffee! I also brought an electric skillet to cook breakfast just quick and easy.

    Thank you Sarah! The cabins on the lake at Little Black Creek seem to be popular. I 'm glad that we got to experience the campground as a family, it was fun. Does your family camp in a tent, RV, or rent a cabin? Have a lovely week, Kim

    Thank you so much! We had fun decorating the golf cart as a family! I love camping its a great family bonding experience but we only do cabins. I can't handle tent camping anymore. I'm happy to hear your family enjoyed their camping trip and, I agree with you making smores is one of the best parts about camping. I wish we could rid the outdoors of pesty bugs! Thank you for stopping over and have a great Sunday! If you find yourself in this area stop by Little Black Creek even if its just for the day! Kim

    Hi Christy! Have you ever been camping. You could always rent a cabin. I use to enjoy going camping and staying in a tent but not anymore. A cabin is just like staying in a house it has the side amenities a house provides. Our cabin we stayed in even had a fireplace. Enjoy the rest of your week, Kim
