Leroy Percy State Park offers year-round camping accommodations in the Mississippi Delta, where the average summer temperatures reach 90°F with high humidity. Located in Hollandale near Belzoni, this historical park contains cypress-tupelo swamps and hosts diverse wildlife including over 200 bird species. The park features 16 full hookup campsites with cement pads that accommodate RVs up to 40 feet in length.
What to do
Disc golf course: The 18-hole course winds through wooded areas with challenging terrain. "We brought our kayaks and got some fishing done in alligator lake but only after playing an 18 hole disc golf course!" notes JR R. from Leroy Percy State Park Campground.
Fishing opportunities: Alligator Lake provides freshwater fishing with typical Delta species including bass and catfish. A camper recommends early morning fishing: "This was our first outing in the RV and we had a blast! Nice, quiet isolated state park in the delta of Mississippi," according to JR R.
Bird watching: Morning hours offer prime wildlife viewing, especially for woodpeckers and waterfowl. "Woodpeckers very active in the morning," notes a visitor, making this activity particularly rewarding for glamping visitors in Belzoni, Mississippi who rise early.
What campers like
Peaceful environment: The remote location creates a quiet atmosphere rarely found at busier parks. "Nice, quiet isolated state park in the delta of Mississippi," shares JR R. about their Leroy Percy experience.
Clean facilities: Campers consistently mention well-maintained bathrooms and grounds. "We stayed during a hunting trip and used the campground because of its close proximity to where we hunted. The showers and restrooms were well taken care of, noticed disc golf there and a pond for fishing. Highly recommended stay," writes Brian Keith P..
Spacious sites: The camping areas provide ample room without crowding. "Sites are big, level and cement. We stayed in a 29' TT," reports Rod R. about his stay at Leroy Percy.
What you should know
Limited occupancy: During off-peak seasons, expect few fellow campers. "Other than one other camper who appeared to have been there awhile, we were the only occupied campsite," explains Terry P. about their September visit.
Insects: Mosquitoes can be problematic, particularly in warmer months. "Mosquitoes caused us to eat dinner inside our trailer, although it was otherwise nice enough to eat outside," Terry P. continues about their Leroy Percy experience.
Self-registration options: Some nearby parks offer convenient after-hours check-in. "We got in late so we registered at the closed office door by putting our $27 payment in an envelope in the door slot. How convenient!" shares John N. about Movietown RV Park.
Tips for camping with families
Water safety awareness: Bayou proximity requires extra vigilance with young children. One reviewer noted cabins are "close to the bayou" and advised they "would be very cautious with children."
Alternative lodging options: For families seeking glamping in Belzoni, Mississippi with more amenities, consider nearby parks with cabins. "Theres rental lots and cabins by the night, week and month," explains Albert H. about Movietown RV Park.
Basic supplies: Some locations lack picnic tables and other conveniences. "Not very private and just a camper lot without any nice views, picnic tables, etc. It worked for us as a quick overnight rest," cautions April J. about Movietown.
