Campbellsville Schoolhouse in in Holly Bluff ,MS. and was built in 1958 as a school for black children of the area. In the 60's It was combined with the Yazoo County School District during desegregation and was in use until 1992. It sat vacant until 1999 when purchased by a group of friends that were looking for a place to camp while hunting near by. For the first 10 years our camp struggled just to keep the lights on. Many hunters learned of Campbellsville because of the bunk rooms that were rented to hunters to help pay the bills. These bunk rooms allowed the camp to find good men interested in a permanent camp for themselves. Beginning in 2010 Campbellsville became a private facility with all rooms occupied by members of the camp.
