      Flexible check in + convenient location but beware of AM lawnmower army

      We were planning to stay a second night in a better location on the resevoir… so we moved to avoid the sound, fury and allergens of a half dozen lawn tractor mowers circling us. The management notified us that there would be a $20. Fee for changing spaces plus the fees for an additional night and were asked to return to our original site until check in time if we didn’t want to pay the additional 20 bucks.

      We moved to the bathhouse, showered, hung out by the pool until check out time and departed for another campground.  Sometimes management treats guests  according to the rules of an HOA, versus the hospitality industry. It was kind of sad. 

      We did enjoy the site, the pool and the water views. We didn’t enjoy the sound of traffic and  grounds maintenance early in the morning. We might return one day, but much wiser, indeed.

      Great location but advance reservation or booking on date u want to stay

      We enjoyed our night at LeFleurs Bluff.  We were surrounded by giant RVs but it proved to be a very quiet respite in the middle of the city. Keep your check in code handy as it is necessary info when arriving or departing via the security gate. We hope to return one day and stay longer!

      The previous night we tried to reserve a spot here online around 3 or 4pm. As this wasn’t possible on we found another campground in Ridgeland with a more flexible reservation system and a swimming pool! It was more like a gold course on the river than a camp ground but we were pleased to have options.

      Great campground, tons of gnats, some traffic noise at night

      We stayed here over Easter and had a great time. Trail was flooded out less than .5 miles in, which I heard can be typical of this time of year bc of reservoir they drain near there. Plenty of kayak access to all the lakes around. Gnats were so bad we had to stay in the tent to stay sane in the afternoon and most of the evening. They was one other group that tent camped for one night but otherwise everyone had RVs. If you go to tent camp call ahead before booking because some sites have the fire ring on the tent pad. I remember site 10 definitely does. It was packed but pretty much quiet the whole time except a lot of traffic. At night you hear the highway sometimes. Bathrooms are okay, washer and dryer work great.

      Dump Station!

      This is a great place to dump your tanks. Only one problem and we expect it to be resolved soon. The charge is $5.00 but there is no one to pay! The sign claims you can pay in the park, the dump is outside the park, at the entrance or exit. Afterwards we continued to “in the park” to pay with our 53’ rig with car in tow. We looked for a place to pay we gave up and had to try to turn around running over the curb with Motorhome and car we thought we should just mail the fee. A BOX AT THE DUMP STATION SEAM TO BE A SIMPLE FIX.

      Lovely

      Found this sweet campground traveling cross country. Quiet, large level concrete pad, 30 & 50 amp, water, dump station, $35 after tax. Even tho it was in town,. It was so quiet you could hear the birds on the pond. Gravel road entrance is decent. Only drawback was the burn ban.

      Timberlake Campground was great

      We will definitely come back to this campground. When you come to the campground , nightly rentals are first come first serve. You drive back and pick your available spot and go back to the office to pay. We were lucky to get a beautiful water spot this time. It’s clean and spots are a concrete pad. Right outside the campground is a Kroger across the street. It’s convenient to lots of things but tucked away as a quiet getaway.

      LeFleur's Bluff State Park Campground

      Nice little campground

      Park is right near Jackson, but you can’t even tell while you’re there. We were originally assigned site 2 after providing the office with the size of our rig, but found that it was much smaller than expected when we arrived. Site 2 would be good for up to a 26 footer, but not much larger. The office folks were very accommodating and we ended up staying at site 10 and it was great! Not too close to any other site, faces the water but not right on the water. Also very close to the facilities but I can’t give a review since we didn’t use them. Thunderstorm came through our second night there, dumped a metric ass ton of rain but all trails and roads were just fine the next morning. The only big con I have for site 10 is that one of the benches for the picnic table was missing/broken. Benches are cement base with a wooden seat and looks like someone not so great at backing their rig may have taken the bench out. Only thing left of it is two cement pillars with some rebar sticking out - bent over and not sharp so it doesn’t pose a safety hazard. We saw a small 5-6 foot gator in the lake on day one and fish are very active. Will definitely be back.

      Convenient to I55

      We stayed here for one night as we were just passing through on a longer road trip. This was one of the better state park campgrounds in Mississippi that we have visited. The sites were clean and spacious. The ladies bathroom was a complete disaster though. It appears as it if hadn’t been cleaned in days and all the toilets were “full”. Gross! The dump station also smelled horrendous, so we just kept driving as we didn’t have much to dump. This would normally be a 3 star for me, but giving 4 stars compared to other MS State Parks north of this location.

      Beautiful

      This campground was amazing. Our site was right off the lake. The scenery was beautiful, it was quiet, the sites are pretty spread out. Camp sites 3-12 is where you want to be. There is a playground for kids, a boat dock if you have one, or you can just fish right off your site. The camp host was a very helpful and sweet man. We loved this campground and will definitely be back.

      Quiet and peaceful

      Sites 5 and 8 are our favorite. Really, any site on the small lake is great. Those are the smaller number spots. Almost always one available. Large hands in the smaller lake. I haven't even had a bite in the larger lake. This is our local campground and we go a few times a year. No WiFi and very little cell signal, as camping should be. We love it.

      Great for Wildlife Viewing

      Lots of birds and alligators to see. The tent camping sites are pretty small and close together. Each pad has its own water spigot though, and it’s a short walk to the swimming area. Only two pit toilets available in tent area.

      Looks like it would be fun in the summer

      We stopped quick passing through and it was nice an quiet. Seemed like they had a lot of water activities for summer time. We will definitely be back in the summer for a visit.

      Our site was a very tight pull thru site. We definitely wouldn't of been able to pull out if the park was full. The site was very sloped so getting in the camper was difficult because the steps were so high off the ground.

      Giving the pros and cons

      I tent camped on site 2. The BBQ pit was not there on this site. The tent pad was rocky (not sand) so bring a sleeping bad or air mattress if you’re tent camping. Also bring a long extension cord.

      Was nice being in front of the water and saw quite a bit of birds. The campground was quiet and relaxing despite being in the middle of the city. The bathrooms were ehhh. Not sure of the men’s, but the women’s only had one useable stall. Three stalls total - on without a door and one was out of order. I didn’t use the showers but definitely weren’t the greatest looking showers I’ve seen at a state park.

      I saw a ton of deer, birds, and squirrels and the walking trails were nice and led up to the natural science museum.

      The primitive area looked nice for tent camping but basically the same amount of privacy as the spots with electricity and water. Just depends what you’re wanting out of the camping trip.

      Great Park / Terrible Amenities

      We’ve been living in our camper now for months and have stayed at state parks up and down the east coast and this was the worst of them.

      The park itself is beautiful but terribly outdated and and need of major upkeep in my opinion.

      The restrooms had prison like mirrors made of metal not glass making it near impossible to shave..

      The shower layout was weird and not private to others. The showers themselves had broken handles, spouts and shower curtains/poles.. we just used the camper showers after using these restroom.

      The rest of the park was beautiful as far as landscaping/nature trails and the quietness goes, but it desperately needs better upkeep. Broken benches, unsafe docks and playgrounds.

      The sites themselves were great in size. Not very private, but better than some places. I would recommend a site on the water as it is beautiful to wake up to.

      The city of Jackson has an opportunity to have a BEAUTIFUL city park but the funding/want is clearly not there.

      Side notes about Jackson… Be prepared to probably blow a tire driving on the roads/highways there. Pot holes EVERYWHERE. We felt like we were driving in a foreign country. Had to stay an extra night to replace a blown tire and needed a suspension repair.

      Great quiet spot on the lake!

      We really enjoyed our stay here. Very quiet and on the lake. Sites are deep but some are a little bit narrow so be careful it you have slides on both sides.
