There is a small fee to get in. I have an annual pass so I don't remember the price but it is very small, around $2-$4. The campgrounds were very nice and in the trees. They had electric and water. A river went thru it and it had tubing. I also saw kayaks or canoes also but I don't know the cost. When I was there in September, they were closed. They had several campgrounds spaced around the area and a section for tents. We didn't see any trails but the campground and road was good for walking or biking.

Very disappointed drove over and hour to tube. Since it was finally pretty weather and a good water level. Only to find out once when get there that they decided to stop to tubing on weekdays. But it is not posted anywhere to inform anyone of that change.

Very good park for camping, tubing, kayaking, swimming in the shallow creeks. Not for hiking. The place list hiking trails as an amenity but their are no hiking trails available. They claim walking on the roadways as hiking. They do offer horse stables but the only place to ride them is on the roads. Kind of steep prices to enter park. Overall, for a day of family outing, this park is a good place to take the small children to swim and have fun. I would suggest the park have more frequent emptying of trash around the creek areas, the garbage had been overflowed and was all over the ground at two locations. The employees were very friendly and helpful and I asked an overwhelming amount of questions. I appreciated all the help in maneuvering the park. Would be a great place to camp in spring and summer. They offer RV hookups, primivative camping, also water and eletric hookup camping. Looking forward to returning next summer. Really wish they would invest in hiking trails in the future.

Not the lazy paddle I was looking for. This river reminds me of the bogue chitto in how shallow it is for most of the run within the park. You can stand in most of the river and not be waist deep. That makes for some swift currents and difficult paddling. In most cases when it was too shallow and/or the current was too strong you can just walk it. I almost made it from the beach to the bridge, but the *rapids wore me out and then the rain the thunder started. I gave up and floated back down with the rest of the families. This is definitely more of a floating than paddling situation. The park itself is large with rv and primitive camping sites. There are playgrounds and covered seating, plus a bathroom with showers and laundry. They have tube rentals, you can't use your own. Unlike the chitto, this river is clear of large trees or obstructions other than the limestone croppings. It was $5 for the day use, and the staff was pleasant.

The place is very nice with lots of open space. The speed limit is 15 MPH due to its narrow and winding road that leads to the camp sites. Which brings me to mention that if you get there after hours ad haven't been there it will be very hard to find the tent site, specially because nobody was camping there at the time we were looking for the site. One other person and I were driving up and down looking for our sites. The letter one gets did not have instructions on how to get to the sites. Thank goodness for an RV camper that drove to guide us to it. These sites with electricity have street lights and are brilliantly shining all night and go off with the sunrise 🤔. Also, if you haven't been there, be prepared with a block out tent or take extra tarps to put over your tent to block out the light. I was miserable during the night as I had trouble sleeping due to how bright it was. The person that arrived the same day I did ended up leaving a day earlier, but I couldn't because I was there for an event. I will post a picture of how bright the light is, and you can see for yourself. There is a park for the kids, and they can freely play and enjoy the outdoors. I saw a few riding their bikes, too. The bathrooms are very spacious and clean. The only one thing I noticed was that the curtain had some mold spots at the bottom. The RV area is in an area surrounded by lots of pine trees, and there are no street light poles brilliantly shining on this area.

Great place for camping with trailers. Tent campsites are not level and way too close together. Very nice bathhouse. Bathroom building by each end. Nature trail is not a hiking trail, just a dirt road loop of 5 miles.

I love this place! I'd give it 5 stars if you were allowed to bring alcohol but other than that, I enjoy coming here. It's conveniently close to where we live.

I love Magnolia Branch. It has several lakes for fishing, kayaking or swimming. It’s also on a creek. It moves pretty good. They have kayaks and tubes for rent. If you just want to lay on the beach it’s nice too. They have a nice big playground. The kids love it. It also has horse trails so bring the horses. They even have a nice horse barn and you can primitive camp pretty close to it. Lots of places to ride bikes also. Nice and clean bathhouses and restrooms.
