About Collins

Serving as the Covington County seat, Collins is a friendly small town positioned right where Highways 49 and 84 meet. That central crossroads makes commuting toward Hattiesburg or Jackson simple, while daily life in town moves at a relaxed, neighborly pace. Downtown centers around a classic courthouse square, and Okatoma Creek sits right next door as a favorite regional spot for canoeing and kayaking. Annual traditions like the May Okatoma Festival and holiday lights at Robertson Park bring neighbors together throughout the year, making Collins a welcoming home base in south Mississippi.
