RangerNice big pull thrus all along the camping loop. Great camping with mostly one-nighterz. Stayed two days in early December and had no issues.
The campground is a large loop with about 30 sites. Only one bathroom open but everything was clean and garbage service was excellent.
Walked the loop (about 0.6 miles) several times a day. Our site was about 80 yards from the toilet. Lots of trails through the middle of the loop as a shortcut to the toilet.

Loved it! Great trails nice lake very quiet in November! Only weird thing is the showers only have one temperature for water…it’s warm water.
Guide
Can’t see the lake. Right on the highway so there is lots of noise. Mostly a long-term park where many of the rigs are not in very good shape.

Stayed one night, very quiet and a few nice and fun things to do. Had a fire ring to cook for the night or just to enjoy a fire. 2 nice picnic tables and a good place for a tent. Can drive your car right to sight. Tent and camper sights.

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.
ScoutMost are uphill and very close together but good overnight park
ScoutI recently stayed at Movietown RV Park and had an exceptional experience! The amenities were top-notch, and the park was clean and well-maintained. For anyone planning a visit, I highly recommend you to must go. It was incredibly handy during my stay, providing a variety of entertainment options to enjoy during downtime.

GuideAll campsites had a picnic table, fire ring and a grill which were typical of these free NPS campsites. The bathroom facilities were clean with running non-potable water. All of the fire rings and grills were rusty and some of the wooden picnic tables were falling apart but we were one of a few campers this early in the season, so hopefully they'll be attended to before the summer rush. We picked a pull-thru site and lit a fire in the ring and used our own camp chairs and table for a lovely star filled night.
GuideWe 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.
Guide
Don't think anyone has cleaned the pit toilet or the bear proof garbage cans for awhile only two camp sites that I can make out and only one with a camp site number (80 B) lots of flies not sure what they charge to stay here I left $10 definitely over paid but maybe they can pump out the pit toilet
Ranger
This campground is the perfect overnight spot; there are some hiking trails & historic sites to visit but, otherwise, it’s just a good spot to pull off the parkway and recharge. There are probably 20-25 sites, most if not all ate large enough for RVs or pull-behind rigs. Above ground fire pits, BBQ grills and picnic tables at most sites, off of the paved parking area(s). The bathroom(s) aren’t great, but they work! 1 bar Verizon, not enough to load any GPS or internet but you can squeeze a message out.

City park with beautiful grounds and basic hookups. Water and power. Lots of kid activities - tennis court, playground, frisbee golf.
Traveler
Didn't stay. The website says it is $60/night.
RangerNice primitive grounds with pull-through and back-in options. Gave a 1 in service because it is a first come first serve. It is a terrific spot to stop and sleep. We camped at Natchez Trace Parkway- Rocky Springs in a Fifth Wheel. Didnt get a chance to take photos, we arrived at dark and left early morning.
ScoutFound 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.
GuideWe wanted to be near Jackson, Ms, but not too near. This fits the bill. Lot of trees, very small and private - only 15 sites, most were empty. Clean bathrooms and great showers. Drive thru sites mostly. Sites have 30 amps(not sure about 50), water and sewer. Good 5G connection on AT&T
ScoutPark 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.
LegendThis is a great campground right off the Natchez Trace. I was able to get the last spot there. After my set up I went for a walk up to the old church and remains of the town of Rocky Springs. Being a Nevada Barr fan I was delighted to see the cemetery she mentioned in one of her books “Deep South”. I had planning on staying two nights but had trouble with my refrigerator so I was disappointed that I had to leave the next day. Will definitely be back when I am in the area. I will say this is a rustic campground. There are two bathroom facilities and the third has been boarded up for years. Have your fresh water tank full when you arrive. There is no water available other than the sinks and flush toilets in the bathrooms. No shower facilities. Not an issue for me as I travel in a small motorhome. And don’t show up with a full tank of grey and black water because there isn’t a dump station. I didn’t get to hike the hiking trails. I did walk down to the water that is behind the amphitheater and it was pretty. Very quiet and peaceful place.

Good little place to stop for a night. Sites were parking lot style. Easy to find and get to, roads were in good condition. Check in was easy. Facilities were clean and taken care of. Pool was nice and clean. Fairly priced campsite.
LegendWe 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.
ScoutIt would be perfect if there sewer on-site. Only complaint is I have to go to dump station for black.gray water.
LegendWaterfront sites are wonderful, however the other sites are much less attractive. Clean facilities.

ScoutCampground is clean Bathrooms are aged but clean. I would not stay here again $42.00 a night not worth it.
GuideThe staff was excellent and helpful. We stayed for just one night while making our way cross country. The RV park itself was quiet. There was noise from the highway, but not enough to be disturbing. The site itself was fairly bare with little room to put any tables or chairs out. You are very close to any neighbors that occupy the next site. It took more effort than usual to get level but we did achieve that. We would stay here again as an overnighter.
GuideVery nice out of the way quiet State Park. Lots of space and not very full in late September. Bathroom and showers were great. Clean, good water pressure and plenty of hot water. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Verizon signal weak. Noseeums and other mosquitoes a little bad but could be worse.
