Blue Bluff COE - Aberdeen, MS

BLUE BLUFF RECREATION AREA
RUN BY: Corp of Engineers
LOCATION: Aberdeen, MS

AMENITIES: Water and Electricity, some with sewage
COST: $22-24

OUR RATING (1-5): I-3

NOTES:   We did not stay at this campground but checked it out while staying at one about 10 miles away. 

Environment:  Somewhat open in a heavily wooded area along the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway.  The woods are those you expect to find in southern Mississippi - heavy undergrowth, some tall pines and lots of different hardwoods.  
Cost:  $24-26/night
Amenities:  Water and electricity (30-50A).  Some had sewage.  Dump station. No camp store or laundry. 
Phone Service:  Verizon was available but not consistent. 
Location:  Pamela was a bit uncomfortable because it was near a prison and not quite as well-kept as the other COE campgrounds along the waterway. 
Camping Population:  Lots of local fishermen.  
Sites:  Roomy. Easy to park. Hard surface.  


======================================================================
RATING KEY: category - score

Categories: I - established campgrounds where one might spend a vacation or several days
II - boondocking, dry camping where there are no designated sites and no amenities but
one might choose to stay for more than a night.
III - over-night areas


You must remember that we are scoring 1 thru 5 according to things which are important to us: the environment, cost, amenities, location, safety, camping population, site, phone service
