About
Pearl River Valley Water Supply District campground at Ross Barnett Reservoir / Upper Pearl River. The operator publishes no site count, so none is recorded here. Reservations: free permit required; contact operator. Dispersed camping on district sandbars and riverbanks north of Highway 43 rather than numbered sites - a free permit is required and the maximum stay is 10 days. The coordinate is the district-published point for the Flag Island shelter and composting toilet, not a campsite.
