Percy Quin State Park Campground

Within Percy Quin State Park, this established campground sits directly on the shores of Lake Tangipahoa, providing RV and tent camping with full hookups. Managed by the Mississippi State Park system, the facility operates year-round with sites accommodating rigs up to 40 feet. The campground features asphalt roads and pads, though several reviewers note narrow internal roads without directional signage at intersections.

Sites along the water offer direct lake access for kayak launches and fishing. David B. found his lakefront site "relatively shaded" with "at least 20 ft" between neighbors, while Tiffany M. reports "panoramic views of the lake" from waterfront spots. The campground includes both back-in and pull-through sites with picnic tables, though fire rings are not provided at all locations. Some lakefront sites have steep drop-offs immediately adjacent to camping areas.

Lake Tangipahoa anchors recreational activities, with a fishing pier and boat launch near the campground. The lake was drained and restocked in recent years. A nature trail at the park's north end includes boardwalk sections through swampland, though portions require maintenance. The day-use area, located across the park, houses the swimming pool and playground. Bath houses receive mixed reviews, with cleanliness varying by season and maintenance schedules.

Cell service remains limited throughout the park, with both AT&T and Verizon showing weak signals. The campground can fill completely during peak weekends, creating noise from neighboring sites during the day. Sites 47/49, 50/52, 57/59, and 60/61 are noted for their proximity when camping with friends. For additional camping in the region, campers can explore campsites near McComb. Reservations are recommended, particularly for lakefront locations that fill first.

Visitors often highlighted beautiful lakefront sites with great family activities like fishing and hiking. Common feedback included concerns about facility maintenance, especially restrooms. Most found it peaceful despite weekend crowds.

Recent renovations are really nice!

We had a blast at a site right on the water. Panoramic views of the lake. We were able to launch our kayaks right out of our spot and fish all day. Beautiful views of the sunset. We enjoyed the peaceful experience. Cell service: Verizon had no service and AT&T 2 bars.

Not a bad stay.

Overall the stay wasn’t bad. The staff was pleasant and the area and lake is very nice. The restrooms were awful and it looks like the maintenance crew don’t check them regularly. The campsite is getting a make over in September so this may account for the apathy towards these facilities. No camp store but I was told this is coming next year.

Lots of trees

We love a campground with lots of trees! The water view of the lake is hide as well. This state park offers several options: Cabins, Campsites and the Tentr canvas tent campsites. Location is very convenient off of I55.

Nice park, campground roads are narrow

Percy Quinn is a nice state park on a lake. We had a great weekend stay, and the weather was awesome, a little chilly in the mornings, but otherwise great.

Bathrooms were clean reasonably clean. There was some damage in the one I used. Amenities include a fishing pier and boat launch near the campground. The playground and swimming pool are at the day use area which is a decent drive on the other side of the park. Be sure and hike the nature trail at the north end of the park. Part of the trail is a boardwalk through the swamp(but one section is in disrepair).

Stayed in campsite#6 which is on the lake. Back-in site with asphalt parking. The picnic table has concrete around it, but there is a 2 foot gap of dirt between the asphalt parking and the concrete. There is no BBQ pit or fire ring. 15A/30A/50A, water, and sewer hookups. Site was level side to side and had a slight slope front to back. Awning faced east so we didnt get the evening sun shining underneath. The spot is relatively shaded. Nearest neighbor was at least 20 ft. Away. Roads in the park were asphalt. Campground roads were narrow and there were no signs at intersections in the campground indicting which loop to take for which campsite numbers.

Both AT&T and Verizon had weak signal(2 bars each) and slow data. No WiFi in park. Would stay here again. We camped at Percy Quin State Park in a Travel Trailer.

State Campground w/ Full Hookups

This was a stop over for us thankfully. Pads are crazy unlevel and the asphalt has worn away so they are mostly dirt/mud. Avoid the bathrooms and shower houses, they are nasty and unkept.

First time was fun.

The primitive camping area was nice. We found a spot by the water. Go early to get a good site. Bathrooms are okay, can use more cleaning. Bath house was decent. Fishing was nice even though we didn’t catch anything.

Would be great if not for the rain

Unfortunately our trip was clouded by the rain...pun intended. As is typical for the Gulf Coast South... it rained and rained and rained. There were breaks that allowed for us to get out and do a few things. We went to the "beach" and the kids enjoyed it. Dont think of the beach as the typical sandy beaches on coasts, instead this is a lake beach with grass. Under water though was fine. Quite clean and no debris.

There is a pool also, but it was closed at the time because of coronavirus. Hopefully if we go back, it will be open then.

This particular site was very close to the water, which is why we chose it, however immediately next to our camper was a very steep drop off which made it impossible to set up our camper mat and outdoor cooking supplies next to our outdoor kitchen. We wouldn't choose that site again.

Camping at water’s edge.

We brought our kayaks and were able to dock at our campsite. We had a lot of fun playing in the lake. The kids also did some fishing.

Updates In Progress

Nice, quiet park. Beautiful grounds. Large shade trees. Many updates are being made right now. Pictures below of some. Our site was pretty level, only needed 2 blocks. Bathrooms were closed, as well as any swimming. This is d/t cover restrictions. Beautiful trails. Much of the park was in need of weed eating, but was still beautiful. Fishing, kayaking, and boating. Dump station. Water and electric hookups. Cabins/Cottages are currently open for Thursday-Sunday nights only with a 3 night minimum.

Packed in at Percy Quin

When our best friends and travel companions bought a camper, we couldn’t wait to all go camping together with our kids and dogs. A quick weekend getaway to Percy Quin was in order for us all. Because of our last minute decision to go camping, we had limited sites to choose from (especially neighboring sites). We ended up at sites 63 and 64 which were pretty close together, but we were happy with that since we knew our neighbors. The sites included sewer hookup, a picnic table, a grill, and an asphalt pad. There were no designated fire rings, so we made our own. Other sites that we thought looked nice for traveling with friends were 47/49, 50/52, 57/59, and 60/61.

Since this was a quick trip (and the weather was miserably cold), we didn’t get to explore as much as we would have liked. We did walk the dogs around the campground to see all of the campsites, the little chapel, and the lake. The boys did some fishing but didn’t get to do any catching on this cold November weekend. The campground was generally noisy and was completely packed for the weekend; however, it was pretty quiet at night. The sites were all quite close to one another, not affording much seclusion and privacy from other guests. Although it wasn’t our favorite campground close to home, Percy Quin was a good place for a quick getaway with our friends and kids, and we made some great memories!
