We took our camper trailer up to the state park this past weekend and had a great time. The upland campground was our spot and each location has a wood deck with a picnic table and fire ring (yes you can burn wood and have roasted marshmallows). The spaces are large and even have a tent pad in case you have friends with you. I really enjoyed that we were not on top of each other, you could enjoy the feeling of being in the outdoors. Their were plenty of options for recreation too: horseback riding, walking trails, bike trails, playgrounds, a small waterpark, fishing, canoeing, and picnic spots. The Dutch Oven club cooked in a covered pavilion and you could taste their foods at noon. They are there the 2nd weekend of each month. Great fun and value!
2. White Sands Lake Day Beach

Excellent day at White Sands. The lake is large with a sandy bottom to about 5 feet, then goes deeper as you get farther out to the inflatables. Multiple inflatables & aqua lily pads to play on. Section for 11 & under and then any ages in the other section. Easy to swim between the two areas or walk along the beach between the two. Cabanas available for rent for the day include 1-2 picnic tables(depending on size), garbage barrel(s) & weber BBQ grill. Canoes, Life jackets & other things available to rent. No motorized watercraft though. The sand was very hot so be sure to wear some type of footwear to prevent your feet from burning. The sand & water was clean. Water felt refreshing on a hot day. Definitely worth the entrance fee for a fun-filled day at the lake. Kids under 11 are required to wear life jackets which is good since the inflatables are in deeper water. Life guards are on duty and are attentive. Definitely recommend for an outdoor activity for some fun, sun & water. Kind of in the middle of the country so not a great cell signal. May want to save directions to & from for offline use if you are not familiar with the area. Beautiful scenery & properties along the route through Covington & Isabel.
3. Woodcut Funhouse
I've been making woodcuts for over twenty years. I love it! I'm the owner of the Woodcut Funhouse, which is my studio /print shop/retail space, located in historic downtown Laurel, Mississippi.I give about a dozen lectures or appearances at Universities a year, my work has been featured on book covers, album covers, product labels, magazines , TV and film. I'm also a proud member of the legendary Outlaw Printmakers. Next time you're driving through, stop by for a minute and grab a cold Mountain Dew, or sit down a while and have a cup of coffee with my wife Julie.Your kids can play with the five of mine and they can draw on my chalkboard wall or watch as we print up a shirt as you wait! This is where you purchase woodcut prints, t-shirts, and stickers directly from me. Thanks for stopping by, every print or shirt you buy from me gets me one step closer to my ultimate goal of staying home with my family and making woodcuts all day long! I could never thank you enough.
