Poverty Point Reservoir State Park Campground

Clean restrooms, nice sites, WiFi. Only downside is I had to call for same day reservations

Needed a place to charge up and empty/refill tanks in my camper van. Full hook ups although I picked a spot without waste dump because I wanted to back into the woods. There is a community dump location anyways. Bathrooms were the cleanest I’ve seen in a public park. Most people seem to come for the fishing but we enjoyed the nature and short hiking trails. unesco world heritage site is less than a 20min drive. I also picked a site close to the showers and bathroom.

Stayed at site 50, which is right by some parking. Stay at 45-46 for the more secluded spots. Bathrooms really clean, only issue is the shower. When turned on, the entire floor is flooded. However, it is clean. There is a boat launch and hiking trails, along with the mounds. Definitely a beautiful spot to camp.

Nice well maintained campground. Bathhouse is nice and clean. Not many trees. Sites are a nice size. Most have plenty of space between each other. Would be hot for summertime camping.

The reservoir isn’t in the campground. Black bears may be seen. Close to town, so a bit noisier than some. Very nice campground that is very nicely maintained. Historical site. Archeological history.

Beautiful park. Perfect place to pull in for the night. Can’t beat $15 for 62+ years.

It's a great spot

Campground was really clean. Has a lot of shady and big sites. Sites are not too close together so it feels very private. Big clean showers and restrooms. Has a laundry facility and full hookups. Multiple trails and a splash pad/ play area for kids. We didn’t get a chance to use the beach area or fish the reservoir but it looks very inviting. Gates are closed at night but they give you a code to get in/out if need be. Can’t wait to go back and enjoy it for a little longer.

Great park ,very clean ,splash pad,super clean bathrooms, lots of wildlife, swimming beach ,boat rentals highly recommend lots to do wild country safari was great as well as the world heritage site , great cabins on the lake quiet and relaxing

This is a very family friendly park! It's gated and a code is provide to get in/out of the park after hours. Nice splash pad area for the kids, bathrooms are well kept and nice. Staff is amazing! Scenery is great!

By far one of our favorite sites. Already planning a trip back and will continue to come here. Nice clean camp sites, sewer hookup available as well. Nice area with amazing views. The splash pad is a huge hit!

I am staying in a premium pull through site. Nice quiet area. I can hear a train going through at night and some highway noise but it’s not unbearable. Site is nice and level and has a wooden deck but I am not using it because there are dead limbs in the tree and very windy. Still the site is secluded and peaceful. Very few people here at the park this weekend. I have one neighbor.

Well maintained state park. Most sites are level and full hookups. Great place to go fishing. Some hiking trails. A unique feature are the Marsden Indian Mounds in the park. There’s a very nice climate controlled bathhouse with hot showers and flush toilets. Nice laundry room next door to the bathhouse. There’s a water playground/splash pad that is open during the summer months. Lodges and unique cabins on the water are available for rent.

Nice campground. Great bathhouse and laundry facility. Large sites.

Very nice campground. The sites are paved, level and spaced apart nicely. Many with full hookups. Overall a very quiet place. Some hiking trails. Signs warning of black bears but we didn’t see any this visit. The bathhouse is one of the nicest and cleanest I have ever seen. Has this really nice artistic bathroom tiles and a nice laundry room all in the same building and very convenient to the sites. There’s also the coolest cabins over the water and large lodges for rent. Will definitely return.

Beautiful campground, nice sites, beautiful clean bathrooms! Playground Marina, trails. Wifi is fairly good when you're outside. They have adorable cabins for rent on the water! Great for bike riding. Quiet and relaxing.

Nice clean park. Easy access to site. Level site with water electric sewer. Showers restrooms very clean. Only stayed one night no time to explore. Hope to return soon.

This was a very neat and clean state park. The reservoir was pretty and has nice cabins right on the water. We only stayed one night but would definitely go back for a longer stay.

Very nice campsites, lake is beautiful. Restroom and bathhouse was super clean

Big sites. Well maintained. Beautiful.

This campground on Poverty Point Reservoir is a well-maintained, scenic spot. Everything was very clean and the camp hosts were incredibly nice. Inside the loops, the views are fairly confined due to the maintenance of the natural vegetation for black bear habitat. We didn’t see any, but it’s made abundantly clear that bears may be in the area. A small mound site (Marsden Mounds) is located in the park and a trail with interpretive path allows you to walk past (but thankfully not on) the mounds.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. We stopped one night en-route from Dallas back to Tampa. Arrived in rain at sunset, but found site and back-in was easy. WiFi ok for email but not enough to stream. Had 2 bars in both Visible (Verizon) and Cricket (ATT). Want to come back, looks like a nice park.

This park also has the best bathhouses we have seen. Large swimming area, but it is down the rode a few miles at the marina. A lot of boat traffic from fishing. They do not allow sking.

Kids had a blast walking to the reservoir and hiking some trails. Will go back! One of the friendly park groundskeepers came and said hello when we arrived and introduced himself.

Spotless. Wi-Fi was decent and ATT two bars. I had water/electric site that backed up to the woods and trail. Felt private and spacious. The lake is beautiful. Small town of Delhi is nearby and has gas/grocery store. Don’t forget to visit PP World Heritage site just a few miles up the road.

Pros: Large clean bathhouse, large level campsites, on site laundry facilities, walking trails and a lake. Very cool cabins on the water and visitors center.

Cons:Water playground broken on hot August days. Very little shade in the campground.

Campground has large, level sites. Some are pull through and some you back in. Some have just electric and water hookups and some also have sewage. If you select a non sewage system like I did there is a dump station available in the campground. There’s a water playground which would have been amazing since it is so hot but it’s broken. I stayed here in site #49. I would definitely return. Easy walk to the lake especially from this campsite.

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.

The lady at the gate was mildly rude. Or maybe the previous place was just that friendly. She seemed as though I was a bother to her, getting checked in. She may have been tired or had other things on her mind though. At the spot, I understand we are in nature, but I was very shocked at all of the poison oak at the sites. Otherwise, it is very quiet with friendly neighbors. I didn’t use the showers, but the bathhouse was clean and pretty. The spots were easy to back in to. I would return. I’d really like to walk around the town and get pictures of all the beautiful churches!
