Turkey Creek Water Park
Hidden Gem
Quite and peaceful small campground with bathroom, hot showers and laundry available. Nice campsite with lake view. Staff is friendly.
Timberlake Campground
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.
LeFleur's Bluff State Park Campground
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.
Movietown RV Park
Wonderful Recommended Movies!!
I 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.

LeFleur's Bluff State Park Campground
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.
LeFleur's Bluff State Park Campground
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
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.
Turkey Creek Water Park
Great Campground
This is one of the best campgrounds around hands down plenty of space not crowded and the people that work there are super friendly and helpful. We go there all the time.
LeFleur's Bluff State Park Campground
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.
Timberlake Campground
3 stay in a year
Convenience of nearby restaurants & Kroger, but still nice quiet & peaceful location to unwind after my other activities in area. Great shade in sunnier weather and clean bathhouses
LeFleur's Bluff State Park Campground
Safe, beautiful and quite
It would be perfect if there sewer on-site. Only complaint is I have to go to dump station for black.gray water.
Big Creek Water Park
Great place
Sites are roomy. All the things you need-electricity water fire ring and concrete picnic table. Lake playground. Bath house with flush toilets. Could use an update but not bad. Just a beautiful setting.
Big Creek Water Park
Love this place
Great sites although some are a bit tight. The bath house is dated and only 1 washer and dryer but the park itself is great

Summer 2022
So much fun, so much to do! We stayed on the lakes edge, had visits from geese, ducks, rabbits and squirrels. Beautiful and very clean area. Pool, slides, jumping pad, playground, mini golf, tennis, basketball, planned activities each day for family fun.
Timberlake Campground
Wonderful
Quiet, scenic and the few neighbors I had for the holiday weekend were friendly. Clean very modern bathhouse. Great accommodating friendly staff.
Timberlake Campground
Peaceful
Feels super remote but still close to shopping. Great lake views, plenty of tall trees. Nice bathrooms & showers have both locking stall doors and shower curtains.
Big Creek Water Park
Great overnight stay
Located between Collins & Laurel MS. Camped here in a camper van while visiting relatives in Laurel. Most sites accommodate big rigs, but there are a few tent sites as well. Popular campground; recommend reservations. We didn't have a reservation, but we were able to camp in site 18. Most sites are large with good separation between them. Wooded, but almost no privacy between sites. Quiet, secure. Good folks running it. We'll maintained grounds. The restroom/shower house was clean. There is a laundry room. Beach at lake. Folks fishing at lake. AT&T service okay. T-Mobile weaker.

Le Fleur campground
Nice campground. Friendly staff. Beautiful views. Only one toilet was working and the bathroom/shower house could use some work. Overall, nice place. Would definitely stay again.
Movietown RV Park
Movietown Campground
Nice campground. Clean place and friendly staff. This is a good stop to stay a night when needed. Not very private and just a camper lot without any nice views, picnic tables, etc. It worked for us as a quick overnight rest.
Timberlake Campground
Can be windy
This is a really convenient location outside Jackson. It's clean and easy pull ins. The lake is nice if you have a boat but it can also be really windy.
Yogi on the Lake
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.

Lefleurs Bluff
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.
LeFleur's Bluff State Park Campground
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.
LeFleur's Bluff State Park Campground
Quiet, Clean, and Spacious
This campground is great! We stayed for an extended period of time and had no complaints! The staff is friendly. The grounds feel secure and prices are quite reasonable.
Dunns Falls Water Park
Okay for one night
Camping area is about five tables and grills scattered on edge of property. No real sites (no tent pads, no fire rings). Surprisingly little regulation: fires allowed anywhere, swimming “not recommended.” The friendly camp hosts actually encouraged me to camp in the day use/picnic area, since it is closer to the flush restrooms. Water spigots scattered around but most don’t work. Gate to park locks at 5pm (key provided at check in) which is nice for security. Clean area. Close to a highway but few cars traveling at night. I was the only person camping on a weekday.
$15/night. Not bad considering the locking gate and restrooms with water. The historical structures are neat, as is the waterfall. The whole park can be explored in less than an hour, so I can’t imagine staying multiple nights.
LeFleur's Bluff State Park Campground

Jackson MS LeFleur' Bluff SP Small state park with 30 sites w/e only on small lake. You are allowed to gather downed wood to use in fire pit. Gate code access. Nice playground. Disc golf course.
