Leroy Percy State Park accepts pets at both tent sites and cabins, providing more developed facilities with showers, electric hookups, and sewer connections. Askew's Landing RV Campground features two dog parks where pets can run freely, plus full hookups and amenities like a swimming pool and pavilion for campers with dogs. Blue Lake provides three lakeside campsites with vault toilets and trash receptacles suitable for campers with pets. Most sites require advance reservations through recreation.gov or their direct reservation systems. The Dyrt provides user ratings for locations near Delta National Forest, Mississippi.

Camping with pets requires preparation, especially in this swampy wetland region where wildlife encounters are common. Alligators have been spotted lounging in Blue Lake, creating potential hazards for dogs near water. Delta National Forest campsites typically maintain a pack-it-in, pack-it-out policy for waste management, including pet waste. Mosquitoes pose a significant challenge during warm seasons, affecting both humans and pets at primitive sites. Askew's Landing RV Campground offers better protection with maintained grounds and facilities, making it more suitable for extended stays with pets. Leroy Percy State Park features hiking opportunities along the bayou, though pet owners should exercise caution with children and pets near water. The nearest veterinary services are available in nearby towns like Rolling Fork, Edwards, or Vicksburg.

    Askew'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!

    LeFleur's Bluff State Park Campground

    Beautiful but noisy

    This park is literally in the middle of Jackson, Mississippi in a beautiful setting. The lake was lovely and we saw herons, cranes, turtles and deer. The sites are right on the lake and the shower house was convenient and clean. It’s also secure; you have to have a code to enter and exit the park. The only problem was the sounds of the city. We heard sirens all night (it was Halloween night) and there is a recycling plant nearby and the sounds of crushing metal were really loud until about 11. In our tents we had to resort to earplugs. Great location. Picnic tables and fire rings.

    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.

Guide to Delta National Forest

Delta National Forest and surrounding campgrounds offer varied camping options for visitors with pets, situated in Mississippi's wetland region where elevations rarely exceed 200 feet. The area experiences humid subtropical conditions with hot summers reaching 90°F+ and mild winters. Primitive sites throughout the region provide direct access to bayou waters, though they often require advanced preparation for campers traveling with animals.

What to do

Disc golf outings: Leroy Percy State Park provides an 18-hole disc golf course amid shaded areas. "We brought our kayaks and got some fishing done in alligator lake but only after playing an 18 hole disc golf course!" notes one visitor at Leroy Percy State Park Campground.

Bayou kayaking: Launch directly from primitive sites at Blue Lake for water exploration. "The small bayou is great for putting in your kayak. There are beautiful cypress trees on land and in the bayou along with many cypress knobs," reports a camper who visited Delta National Forest - Barge Lake Campground.

Wildlife observation: Morning hours provide opportunities to view native species. "Woodpeckers very active in the morning. Cabins are close to the bayou," mentions a camper who appreciated the natural setting.

What campers like

Small, secluded camping areas: Blue Lake offers limited but private lakeside camping. "Small picnic area & campground along a small, pretty lake. Three campsites - 79A, 79B & 79C," explains a reviewer at Blue Lake.

Nature sounds: Many campers appreciate the natural soundscape away from urban noise. "Beautiful nature sounds. No AT&T nor T-Mobile cell service," notes a camper describing the isolated experience.

Shaded sites: Mature trees provide relief from summer heat at most campgrounds. "Sites are big, level and cement. We stayed in a 29' TT," reports a visitor at Leroy Percy State Park Campground, highlighting the park's practical amenities.

What you should know

Reservation requirements: Most Delta National Forest sites require advance bookings. "YOU MUST HAVE RESERVATIONS AND PAID. Reservations only 877-444-6777 or recreation.gov Park passes accepted," emphasizes a reviewer about the booking process.

Wildlife precautions: Alligators inhabit many water bodies in the region. "Saw an alligator lounging around in the lake," cautions a visitor, highlighting the importance of keeping pets under control.

Road conditions: Forest roads can become difficult after rain. "This is a low elevation, swampy wetland which does get flooded. Two wheel drive passenger cars should make it okay when the road is mostly dry," advises a camper at Delta National Forest Site 45/45A.

Tips for camping with families

Dog-friendly facilities: Askew's Landing provides specialized areas for pets. "Such a nostalgic old campground feel, but with tons of fun amenities!" mentions a visitor at Askew's Landing RV Campground, which features two dedicated dog parks.

Water safety measures: Supervise children and pets near bayou areas. "Would be very cautious with children," advises a camper about waterside locations.

Insect protection: Bring appropriate repellents during warmer months. "I would guess that during the season you can make a meal out of the mosquitoes or I would guess they will make a meal of you," warns a camper about the persistent insect presence.

Tips from RVers

Hookup locations: At some campgrounds, utilities may be positioned at site extremes. "Sites are pull through but hookups are at extreme end of site. You must unhook tow vehicle to access hookups," notes a visitor at Rivertown Rose Campground.

Level sites: Most established campgrounds provide stable parking surfaces. "Pad was flat/level. Was fairly quiet," confirms a camper describing their experience.

Limited cell service: Prepare for minimal connectivity at forest locations. "It's peaceful and serene. Even tho closely situated to a busy interstate, the noise is non-existent at the park," reports a visitor describing the quiet but isolated conditions.
