Officially incorporated in 1837, Houston is a small city in the north of Mississippi that serves as the seat of Chickasaw County. It was once inhabited by the Chickasaw people before the coming of European explorers and the signing of the Treaty of Pontotoc Creek in 1832. The first Carnegie library in the state was built in Houston in 1909, and the city famously hosts the Mississippi Flywheel Festival each April and September.

Its proximity to Mississippi’s national forests and the recreational waters of Davis Lake make Houston a popular place to rent an RV. It’s well-served by family-friendly campgrounds while being an easy day trip from both Memphis and the state capital, Jackson.

The Great Outdoors

Pick up your RV rental in Houston and make the short drive north to the Davis Lake Recreation Area, which centers around a picturesque body of water. It’s a local fishing hub, with largemouth bass, hybrid striped bass, crappie, catfish, and bream all for the taking, as well as having a grassy swimming area that the kids will love. If you prefer to stay dry, there’s a two-mile walking trail along the northern edge of the lake where you might be able to spot herons, bluebirds, hawks, and doves.

Houston also makes a good base for exploring the Holly Springs National Forest, which lies around an hour’s drive to the north. It was established in 1936 on abandoned agricultural land that’s now blanketed in shortleaf pines and upland hardwoods. Stretch your legs on the Baker’s Pond Hiking Trail or the North Cypress Non-Motorized Trail, then cool off with a swim at one of the beaches along the shores of Chewalla, Puskus, and Tillatoba lakes.

Drive in the other direction, and you’ll arrive at the Tombigbee National Forest, which encompasses a large tract of land to the north of Louisville. Aside from being a hub for hiking and fishing, it’s also home to the Owl Creek Mounds - five platforms that were built between 800 and 900 years ago. They’re believed to have been part of a Native American Ceremonial Complex, with interpretive signs detailing their significance.

RV Parks

Book a motorhome rental in Houston and make the short drive east to Stinkin Jims Horse Park and Campground, a big rig-friendly RV destination with 30 and 50 amp electric service. Pets and kids are welcome to stay with you, and there are plenty of scenic trails that you can explore on foot or horseback.

A 30-minute drive north of Houston will take you to the Natchez Trace RV Park, which is located on the southern outskirts of Tupelo. It also welcomes big rigs, with a good selection of level, pull-through sites that offer full hookups, as well as an outdoor pavilion, a swimming pool, and fishing ponds.

Slightly closer to Houston is the Davis Lake Campground where you’ll find just over two dozen campsites, a group shelter, and a dump station. Most of the sites are equipped with picnic tables, lantern posts, and campfire rings, and there are multiple fishing docks that campers can access.

Exploring the City

Book an RV rental near Houston and head to the Chickasaw County Heritage Museum, which lies on the edge of Joe Brigance Memorial Park. It details the people and events that have shaped the region’s history, including the likes of blues musician, Booker "Bukka" White. Browse the old photographs and artifacts on display, then see vintage farming implements that once toiled the land at the Agricultural Exhibit Building.

Houston makes a good base for visiting Memphis, which lies around two hours’ drive to the northwest. It’s renowned for its music history and legends, both of which are celebrated at the Rock 'n' Soul Museum and the Blues Hall of Fame. Tour Elvis Presley’s famous mansion “Graceland” or see where he recorded (as did B.B. King and Johnny Cash) at the Sun Studio. Memphis is also home to the impressive National Civil Rights Museum, which encompasses a number of buildings, including the Lorraine Motel where Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated.

Want to see where Elvis Presley was born? Make the short drive north to Tupelo to visit his childhood home. It’s listed on the Mississippi Blues Trail and includes not only his birthplace residence but also his family’s former church, which has been moved to the site. See a life-size statue of Elvis at age 13 holding his beloved guitar and explore the humble two-room home that was built by his father, grandfather, and uncle.

Houston is home to plenty of supermarkets where you can pick up groceries, as well as a good selection of fast food restaurants and eateries for dining out. There are also numerous gas stations if you need to fill up your campervan rental in Houston, MS.

Whether you’re visiting Chickasaw County for its recreational forests or connections to Elvis, book an RV in Houston and start planning your next excursion.
