Poverty Point Reservoir State Park Campground maintains pet-friendly sites with full hookups for both RV and tent camping. The park requires pets to be leashed at all times and owners must clean up after their animals. Several large, shady sites offer privacy without being too close to neighbors, making them ideal for campers with pets. Bathrooms and shower facilities remain consistently clean and well-maintained. The park features multiple trails suitable for dog walking, a splash pad area, and a beach where leashed pets are permitted in designated sections. Camping with pets costs no additional fee beyond the standard site rates, which include water, electric and sewer hookups. The gated entrance provides added security for campers with pets, with access codes provided for after-hours entry and exit.
Leroy Percy State Park Campground offers 16 full-hookup sites where pets are welcome year-round. Campers with dogs should be aware of wildlife presence in the area, particularly during early morning hours when woodpeckers are active. The park features cement pads that are level and spacious enough for larger RVs with pets. Multiple reviews note the exceptionally clean grounds and facilities. Located along a bayou, the park requires extra vigilance with pets due to potential alligator presence in the water. The disc golf course provides an excellent area for leashed dog walking. Most campsites feature shade trees that offer protection from summer heat for pets. Delta National Forest nearby offers additional pet-friendly primitive camping options with picnic tables and fire rings, though mosquitoes can be problematic during warmer months when camping with dogs.

Nice and quiet
Pecan Grove is a nice place to stay overnight. They have several cabins (even a couple on the lake) and RV campsites. We stayed in the same pull through site this year. Dog park fenced in with a dog bag/trash station. Bathrooms were clean - not a single spiderweb or bug on the wall/floor.

ScoutAskew's Landing RV Campground
Best Hidden Gem!
Ever heard of Edwards, MS? Well, unless you had a reason to go there- you probably just passed thru without notice. It’s one of those“if you blink, you may miss it” kind of towns. However, the town is far from‘missed’ in terms of its history. Sitting in close proximity to Vicksburg, Edwards may not have the‘well known’ factor today, but back in the mid 1800’s this little town played a big part in not only Mississippi’s history, but the history of the US as well. Around 1859, a man named Duklet Askew and his brother stumbled across this beautiful land while searching for a place to build a plantation. The area, which is located close to the Big Black River was perfect and he began work. Shortly after beginning life on the plantation, Askew’s had cleared around 500 acres for cotton growing, built a cotton gin, a general store, and even built and operated a ferry to cross the river. In just a few short years work came to a hault when the Civil War began and Askew’s property was used by the Confederate soldiers to flee the area. Names like General Sherman and General Grant are a part of Edwards’ history. A few small battles even took place on the plantation. The ferry was destroyed and rebuilt until a permanent bridge was finally constructed. Sadly, the structure was past the point of repair and was closed down, however some of the locals will still reminisce about the‘good ole days’ whenever given the chance. A few generations of Askews later, Sidney Knox‘Knocky’ Askew’s decided to raise his family in Edwards and although the cotton plantation was a thing of the past and as a result of the Great Depression there wasn’t as much land as before. However, Knocky had a love for the great outdoors and began raising cattle on the property as well as running a local grocery store. Some of the buildings left standing were rented out and Knocky even bartered to get the old pond expanded into a 15 acre lake. In the 70’s, Knocky and his wife Roma along with their children sold that grocery store and decided to live out their dreams and the plantation slowly turned into a campground, inviting their friends and neighbors to visit the area and enjoy the charming landscape and the beautiful new lake. By 1983, members started building tent/rv sites and in 1994, Knocky’s son Dan returned back home after attending college and working a few jobs. He purchased the land and worked to develop the campground even more to turn it into what we know today as Askew’s Landing RV Campground! In early 2023, Craig Alsup and his business partner, Luke learned of the campground being for sale and quickly turned their business plan into a reality. They purchased the park and opened under their belts on July 4th weekend of 2023. If you know anything about campgrounds, you know this is one of the biggest, if not THE biggest holiday for campers! They were either crazy or determined, but from the looks of it I’d say they did just what the place and patrons alike needed! Today, Askew’s boasts 40 acres of beautiful landscape, the same 15 acre lake, close to 100 sites, and room for close to 50 primitive tent sites. Full Hook-Up sites and Partial Hook-Up sites are available plus they have already added a beautiful rustic cabin for lodging if you don’t own an RV or tent, or if you’re more of the glamping type camper! When you arrive, you’ll see an old barn donning a big Askew’s Landing RV Campground sign. That barn is one of the original remaining buildings from days gone by. Traveling down the well maintained gravel road to the campground is unaltered landscape- just the pine trees and you. Quickly transforming you to the‘good ole days’ of relaxing and putting your worries behind if only for a weekend. Craig and his team have worked days on end cleaning up, maintaining and repairing, and giving the park a face lift- and it shows. On site, there are 2 dog parks for your furry friends to run free, a full service laundry, 2 bathhouses, a swimming pool, a large open grassy area for anything your heart can imagine, another original building serves as the registration office and store to purchase those essentials you forgot to pack, a community fire pit, and a covered pavilion for all the fun waiting to happen! Craig and his family are homeschoolers and he’s already made plans for a big home-school event at the park! He also is hosting a Halloween event full of spooky spectacular activities and family-friendly fun! Keep watch on the Askew’s Landing RV Campground Facebook page for more events he’s got up his sleeve as well! He’s definitely not lacking of ideas to create those memory making experiences you and your friends and family will be talking about for years to come! His future plans are slowly coming for fruition with every reservation that’s made to visit his place! Additions are in the plans, and he’s always seen on Facebook Camping groups asking people for their ideas of how to make Askew’s Landing better! We took a drive thru the park and stopped and spoke with some guests who just happened to find the park due to its close proximity to I20. They were eager to discuss how well they were enjoying their visit. Even tho closely situated to a busy interstate, the noise is non-existent at the park. It’s peaceful and serene. They said“we just showed up and the campground host was so amazing to work with and we got set up with reservations in no time, and now we are out here enjoying the beauty of nature while cooling off in the pool. We will definitely be back.” They said they travel in their Motorhome all over and Askew’s Landing RV Campground was surely one they’d recommend to anyone looking for the beauty of nature, peaceful laid-back atmosphere, and the convenience of being close to the highway. They were also eager to see what weekends full of fun looked like and hoped to return during one of the many events planned. Craig, his family, and business partner Luke aren’t some big name company just counting every guest as just a reservation in the books. They are a small owned park with the intentions of creating wow moments for anyone who enters their park and their goal is for when guests depart from their stay, they are already planning or booking their next trip to Askew’s. Visit their Facebook page at Askew's Landing RV Campground for ways to make reservations and to see their upcoming events! Plus, stay in the know for future plans of this beautiful park! Enjoy these pictures I took on our day trip to visit, but better yet, make plans to take your own trip to visit and see this beautiful place in person. Pictures just can’t depict all there is to take in while visiting this beautiful historic location filled with so much to offer. The future of Askew’s Landing RV Campground is bright and I can’t wait to see what Craig’s team has in store!

Vicksburg Battlefield Campground
Good location
This was a great location if wanting to camp near the Vicksburg National military park. We walked to the park. Very few tent spots and most were in disrepair. The bathrooms were ok, they tried to keep them clean. The staff was friendly. Lots of highway noise, lots of noise from the permanent residents and their dogs. No wifi, no water.
Cheri H.LegendPoverty Point Reservoir State Park Campground
Not many trees
Nice state park. Almost all the sites are very level. Water and electric hookups. Nice walking trails. Bathhouse and laundry facilities. Cabins on the water are really cool! They’re on stilts on the lake, not lakeside on the lake itself! Also they have lodged available. I am probably going back to this place soon. You can hear a train in the distance but it’s not super loud. The park beach, picnic area, marina and camp store are not in the campground but about two miles down the highway. Also in the area but not in the campground area itself are a wildlife park and a golf course.

Chemin-A-Haut State Park
Very nice renovated facilities!
This is a hidden gem north of Bastrop, Louisiana. Have camped here on multiple occasions. Every time there have been very few campers so it's almost like having the entire campgrounds to yourself. Raccoons are very curious and obviously human fed because they will walk right up to you. Best feature in the park is the Chemin-A-Haut Creek were 1000 year old Cypress trees are scattered throughout. Rent a kayak or canoe to paddle to them.
Guide to Lake Providence
Campers seeking outdoor accommodations near Lake Providence will find several options within a 60-mile radius of this northeastern Louisiana town. Located in the Mississippi Delta region at an elevation of approximately 115 feet, Lake Providence experiences hot, humid summers with temperatures regularly exceeding 90°F and mild winters. The surrounding wetland terrain creates prime conditions for wildlife viewing, particularly waterfowl and wading birds common to bayou environments.
What to do
Disc golf opportunities: At Leroy Percy State Park Campground, visitors can enjoy an 18-hole course through wooded areas. "We brought our kayaks and got some fishing done in alligator lake but only after playing an 18 hole disc golf course!" notes camper JR R.
Bayou exploration: Paddling through cypress-lined waterways offers chances to view native wildlife. "The bayou is very nice" at Chemin-A-Haut State Park, according to Zack M., though he cautions that "walking trails aren't really maintained" for hikers who prefer land-based activities.
Birdwatching excursions: Early mornings provide optimal viewing of the region's diverse bird population. Delta National Forest features "beautiful cypress trees and bayou's scattered throughout the forest," writes reviewer N I., making it a prime spot for spotting woodpeckers, herons, and migratory birds.
What campers like
Spacious, level sites: Concrete pads at many campgrounds accommodate various camping setups. "Sites are big, level and cement. We stayed in a 29' TT," notes Rod R. about his experience at Leroy Percy State Park.
Modern bathroom facilities: Clean restrooms and shower houses remain a consistent highlight for visitors to Poverty Point Reservoir State Park. "Bathrooms were the cleanest I've seen in a public park," states Peter R., who appreciated the well-maintained facilities during his camping trip.
Lakefront camping spots: Sites with water views provide scenic settings for overnight stays. At Lake Chicot State Park Campground, "The lakeside sites are so nice. You can watch the sun sets on the lake," according to reviewer Mary.
What you should know
Wildlife awareness: Bayou environments host various native species including alligators. Mary H. notes that at Leroy Percy, cabins are "close to the bayou" and she "would be very cautious with children" due to potential wildlife encounters.
Seasonal insect populations: Mosquitoes and other biting insects can be prevalent, particularly in warmer months. At Delta National Forest - Barge Lake Campground, N I. warns, "During the season I am sure there will be more than enough mosquitoes to feast on or there will be plenty to feast on you."
Reservation requirements: Some campgrounds require advance booking even for primitive sites. "YOU MUST HAVE RESERVATIONS AND PAID," emphasizes N I. about Delta National Forest, noting that reservations can be made through recreation.gov or by calling 877-444-6777.
Weather-related access issues: Low-lying areas may experience flooding that affects camping availability. Fred S. observes that Blue Lake is "a low elevation, swampy wetland which does get flooded" and recommends two-wheel drive vehicles only when roads are mostly dry.
Tips for camping with families
Splash pad access: Water play areas provide cooling recreation during hot months. Kimberly V. highlights that at Poverty Point Reservoir State Park, "The splash pad is a huge hit!" for visiting families.
Kid-friendly trails: Short hiking paths suitable for children exist at several parks. Abraham H. shares that at Poverty Point, "Kids had a blast walking to the reservoir and hiking some trails," making it an engaging outdoor experience for younger campers.
Playground availability: Pecan Grove RV Park offers convenient overnight stays for traveling families. While primarily serving as a stopover location, the park's proximity to Lake Chicot provides additional recreation options, with Jenny noting it's "a nice place to stop on our way home from Florida."
Dog friendly campgrounds: For families traveling with pets, multiple campgrounds near Lake Providence welcome four-legged companions. Taylor C. notes that Chemin-A-Haut State Park has "campsites that aren't on top of each other but are pretty close," providing adequate space for families with pets.
Tips from RVers
Accessibility for larger rigs: Many area campgrounds accommodate substantial RVs with appropriate hookups. Steve S. describes Leroy Percy State Park as "Mississippi's first state park" with "full hook-ups including sewer" available year-round.
Wi-Fi connectivity: Internet access varies by location, with some parks offering limited service. At Poverty Point, Kevin H. reports "WiFi ok for email but not enough to stream," noting cellular service included "2 bars in both Visible (Verizon) and Cricket (ATT)."
Length-of-stay options: Sites ranging from overnight stops to extended stays exist throughout the region. Terry P. describes Leroy Percy as "a small, but pretty state park with 16 full hookup campsites" that "makes a great stopover" for RVers traveling through the area.
