The park sits at an elevation of about 115 feet above sea level in Mississippi's Delta region and features a diverse ecosystem with cypress and tupelo trees.

What to do
Disc golf course: The 18-hole disc golf course at Leroy Percy State Park winds through the wooded landscape, providing recreational opportunities for campers. "We brought our kayaks and got some fishing done in alligator lake but only after playing an 18 hole disc golf course!" notes camper JR R., who visited the park for their first RV outing.
Wildlife observation: The park's location in the Delta provides excellent bird watching opportunities, particularly for woodpecker species. Visitors can spot various wildlife throughout the day, especially in early morning hours. According to Terry P., the park offers "a small, but pretty state park with 16 full hookup campsites, 4 cabins and a nice disc golf course."
Fishing: Alligator Lake at Leroy Percy State Park Campground provides fishing opportunities for multiple species. The lake is accessible for anglers of various skill levels, though mosquito protection is recommended. Brian Keith P. shared, "we stayed during a hunting trip and used the campground because of its close proximity to where we hunted... noticed disc golf there and a pond for fishing. Highly recommended stay."
What campers like
Clean facilities: The park maintains clean restrooms and shower facilities that receive regular maintenance. Rod R. noted during his stay, "Very clean restrooms and park was litter free. Very quiet as there was only one other camper there. Sites are big, level and cement."
Peaceful atmosphere: The park's relatively isolated location creates a quiet environment away from urban noise, especially on weekdays. "Nice, quiet isolated state park in the delta of Mississippi," mentions JR R. about their experience glamping near Greenville.
Year-round availability: Merrisach Lake campground, about 58 miles from Greenville, offers another option for glamping in the region throughout all seasons. "I stayed a few days during the week. It's a pretty spot by a lake. Clean restrooms with showers," reports Kathleen A.
What you should know
Limited occupancy: During non-peak times, the park often has very few campers, providing additional privacy but limited social interaction. "Very quiet as there was only one other camper there," mentions Rod R., highlighting the uncrowded nature of the park.
Water safety concerns: The cabins' proximity to water requires extra vigilance with children. Mary H. cautions, "Cabins are close to the bayou. Would be very cautious with children," providing important safety information for families considering glamping options.
Insect activity: The Delta location means mosquitoes can be problematic, particularly during evening hours and warmer months. Terry P. shares a practical note: "Mosquitoes caused us to eat dinner inside our trailer, although it was otherwise nice enough to eat outside."
Tips for camping with families
Morning wildlife activities: Plan early morning activities to maximize wildlife viewing opportunities, especially for bird enthusiasts. "Got awesome sunrise photos. Woodpeckers very active in the morning," reports Mary H. about her cabin stay at Leroy Percy State Park.
Cabin amenities: The cabins include essential amenities that eliminate the need for extensive packing. According to Mary H., the cabins "had everything we needed," making them convenient for families seeking glamping accommodations near Greenville.
Full hookup options: The concrete pads and full hookups make family camping more convenient with electrical access and water connections. Steve S. describes it as a "quiet and relaxing open year round with full hook-ups including sewer."
Tips from RVers
Level parking: The park offers level, concrete pads suitable for travel trailers and RVs. Rod R., who stayed in a 29-foot travel trailer, confirms: "Sites are big, level and cement."
Bathroom facilities: While the campsites have hookups, the bathroom facilities vary in quality and cleanliness. According to Terry P., "The bathrooms were old, but mostly clean. The only exception being the handicapped men's shower which was a mess."
Dumping station location: For RVers staying at other camping locations near Greenville, be aware of dump station distances. Aaron D.G. notes about Merrisach Lake: "The dump station is probably a mile and a half from the campground so if you have a grey water tote tank that you pull behind the truck like me, expect a fairly long drive."
