Good place to go on a camping trip
Scout
If you are in sites 1-38 they are wooded with some privacy between sites. Some have a nice view of the lake. We were in site 34 which was spacious. Easy access to the All Ranks Club and a small Exchange.
Guide
We stayed the weekend before Halloween and it was a very busy weekend in the campground. Some sites were extravagantly decorated and trick or treating following a golf cart parade was fun. The park is nice. The only reason I did give 5 stars is because the boardwalks over the lake were in desperate need of repair and unsafe.
Traveler
Nice small campground. The shower was clean yet dated. Had multiple sites with the lake view. Many of the campsite have campers that are staying the maximum stay. So some of the premium site are occupied by them.

I went ahead and booked online the favorite spot, hog's wallow. The spot is really nicely arbored, but big spiders all over the place, and ants nests everywhere as well, as soon as I got my food out they were all over . Went to see the shower and it was smelly and dirty as heck. It was enough for me to leave after an hour of visit. I asked for a refund , but they were not willing to do so, hence my comment.

Beautiful park. Could use just a little more space. Lots of wildlife and amenities. Cabins, laundry, pavilions, pool, propane and store.
GuideThis was a great find in the middle of Mississippi on a trip from Hot Springs Village to the beach. Looked to be new and well-kept. Staff was efficient and helpful. Sites were arranged around a lake and level. We would stay here again.
Traveler
We chose this campground to stay for 1-2 nights while traveling to New Orleans. We reviewed all available information beforehand: Google reviews, Wikicamps, The Dyrt, and the website... nowhere did it mention that the campground was closed. After a 11-hour drive, we arrived at 8 PM only to find the campground closed. Very, very frustrating...
ScoutHave been several times & would go back again
ScoutOur family of 5 (young kids) stayed for the weekend. A four day weekend would have been perfect. Our site was easy to get into and relatively easy to level. Full hookups. Activities included swimming, splash pad, hiking, disk golf, fishing, kayak rentals, and playgrounds. They are about to close the park for the season to renovate. All the pads are about to be concrete and I think they are fixing some of the space issues(some spots are currently tight to get into). We will be back next year.
Traveler
Arrived here today. By the time I got camp set up, the host stopped by welcomed me and said if there are issues to get with them. Very friendly!
GuideThis was the nicest campground we stayed at on our 4 week trip. Our level site was on a lovely pond, with a friendly duck. This is the first architecturally designed KOA facility I've seen in two years of camping in our RV. It looked new. It was nicely done. The pool is a good size, the communal kitchen area has barstools on two sides. They had two TVs and an inside/outside fireplace. The bathrooms have granite countertops, and very nice tile. I wish we'd brought our dog because they had a professional quality bathing/grooming room with a professional dog dryer. There are walking trails that look lovely. The woman who checked us in couldn't have been nicer, as was everyone we encountered at the campground. I wish we'd been able to stay longer and we hope to come back soon.
TravelerWe just drove in hoping that there was a suitable site for a 30’ motorhome available. There were 3. The campground is more suitable for tents and small trailers. The cost for a site with electric was $15.00 for a senior. $22.00 normally. Joey, the attendant, was so helpful and very knowledgeable. There is a dump. Will come back.
Guide
this is a small private campground. Sites were roomy and mgm't was very helpful. They have a nice 'laundry' room and can't beat $1.50/washer & $1.00 for dryer. A short drive to Hattiesburg.
RangerThis place was literally so sketchy we left instead of staying the night here
Ranger
Came here for two nights because our initial campground was too sketchy. Wayyyyyyyy overpriced but got the job done.
LegendLake Perry, Beaumont, MS: We stopped for an overnight stay. Worked fine. Most sites have an unhindered view of the lake. Currently, the fallen brown leaves and leafless deciduous trees do not make this campground inviting. I imagine the scenery is much more attractive in spring and into fall. However ,must be gorgeous those two times of year. This is a very old campground. Facilities are old. To Do: Fish and fish. The host, Joey, will go out of his way for you. (Scale 1- bad, 5-Very good
(70 yr olds in 17’ trailer) Overall Rating: 3.5 Price 2023: $ 15 for seniors. Security: No gate Usage during visit: 10% Site Privacy: None Site Spacing: A few sites are closer than desirable. Most are okay. Site surface: Concrete Reservations: First-come, first-serve Campground Noise: Quiet, but one site did not try to control their dachshund’s barking. I hope this isn’t indicative of usual behavior. Road Noise: None Through Traffic in campground: No Electric Hookup: Yes Sewer Hookup: No Dump Station: No Potable Water Available: At site Bathroom: Flush. Very old, but Showers: Very ugly Pull Throughs: No Cell Service (AT&T): Okay Setting: View of lake. Host: Yes Rig Size: A large 5 th wheel had to leave as there was not a site large enough. Our site, #1, was the only site the trailer would have fit.

The entire area was littered with burnt trash, animal remains and shell casings. It seems to be more of a shooting range than a camping spot. 30Sep23
TravelerThe road you drive on to get here has multiple signs warning that stray bullets may cross. The actual sites are littered with bullet casings and other trash. If it’s rainy or wet the ground turns to red mud you could get stuck in. But it’s free so.
Guide
Ok so I just tent camped here this past weekend in June. When I got to my campsite there was still trash everywhere. Mainly charcoal coals dumped next to the picnic table loaded with cigarettes. There was no fire ring so you could basically start a fire anywhere which I thought was strange. My neighbors were fine but there are no rules on what people can do. Trucks with boat trails were all over the place and most halfway on the road. I was fine driving around but I couldn’t imagine pulling a trailer through it. No camp store so that was a bummer. The registration office was so old and smelly I didn’t want to be in there. Not that there was much to it. The bathrooms were ok. Not dirty but old and hot. What I did like was the night sky. I saw lots of stars. Riding my bike around. Lots of roads for cruising. If you have a boat air Jets skis you would like this better. It just wasn’t for me.
GuideWe were driving our van to the beach with our 5 kids, by 11pm we decided to stop for the night. A very kind human answered when we called, even last minute. Booked us over the phone. The park is so organized and clean! Beautiful. Everyone was able to take showers and we did our dishes at our site. I’m so so thankful we came across this on the Dyrt app!
GuideVery friendly and helpful staff. Park is very well maintained. The park is very much off the beaten path so it is quiet and peaceful. There is a lot to do within the park– swimming, fishing(no license required), basketball, a playground for children, a dog park, a dog wash station. They just finished building a beautiful out door area with a kitchen, tables/chairs, game area, bathrooms and etc. Need to fill in the potholes in the drive. Need the gravel pad to be larger so you do not need step out into mud.
Scout
There were maybe 6 campers here when we arrived at midnight or so- Easy access, large lots, 50amp and under, not a destination but the perfect overnight stop! However, beautiful lake behind it with a wooden walking bridge that crosses the entire thing. I will be here EVERY TIME I cone this way!!
Traveler
This park is just a little off the beaten path in Lumberton Mississippi. Located about 20 minutes off of interstate 59 and situated on a great fishing lake. The park boasts 2 championship level Disc Golf courses and hosts Big Rip Classic Disc golf Tournament each October. Great fishing, kayaking, swimming, and hiking. Well shaded campsites with plenty of bath houses.
GuideBeautiful, peaceful lake. We were only there for one night passing thru. Only saw people fishing on the lake so I don’t know if they allow any other water activities. We never used the (or even saw) the bathhouse so I can’t report on that. This is an older park. It could use a little TLC but over all you can tell it’s pretty well kept as far as maintenance goes. Grass is maintained and everything looks very neat and cared for. We had a beautiful lakefront spot and look forward to coming back for a longer visit.
Scout
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.
ScoutGreat sites although some are a bit tight. The bath house is dated and only 1 washer and dryer but the park itself is great
