Mississippi Petrified Forest and Campground

Flora, Mississippi

Mississippi Petrified Forest and Campground is a campsite / RV park located in Flora.

Take an unforgettable journey back in time. 36 million years to an ancient log jam deposited by a river from halfway across our young continent. You'll enjoy the many points of interest along the six block long shady paved trail. From there you'll enter our Earth Science Museum where you can browse among the most outstanding collection of fossils, petrified wood, and minerals from nature. Playing in the water, finding a gem. That's what "fluming" is.

Start with a bag of "mine muck", the real term for rocks out of the mines. Wash and screen it, watch for real gems - you keep what you find.

Be sure to visit our gift shop where you can take a piece of petrified wood home to remember your journey through time. Groups are always welcome at the Petrified Forest, so call for special rates and packages. Ask about special events and weddings. The Petrified Forest is also the home of the annual Heritage Festival held on the first Saturday in November.

"Grand Canyon of Mississippi" might be another name for the Mississippi Petrified Forest. Erosion has uncovered the large trees, once part of a mighty forest washed downstream by a great flood-swollen river. After millions of years, the trees became rocklike and broke into sections. Most of the log sections are from five to ten feet in length now, but they lay together to show that the trees were over one hundred feet tall and perhaps a thousand years old -- taller and bigger that any presently in the State.

Local dining options close to Mississippi Petrified Forest and Campground include Eddie Wright BBQ, The Blue Rooster, and Bill’s Creole & Seafood.
