Leroy Percy State Park offers cabin camping near Rolling Fork, Mississippi on concrete pads with essential hookups. The campground includes both rustic cabins and RV sites with electric, water, and sewer connections. Located in Hollandale, approximately 30 miles from Rolling Fork, the park serves as a popular base camp for hunters and wildlife enthusiasts exploring the Mississippi Delta region.
What to do
Disc golf course: The 18-hole course at Leroy Percy State Park Campground provides recreational opportunities for campers of all skill levels. "We brought our kayaks and got some fishing done in alligator lake but only after playing an 18 hole disc golf course," reports one visitor who enjoyed multiple activities during their stay.
Bird watching: Morning hours offer prime wildlife viewing opportunities, particularly for woodpecker species that frequent the park. The bayou setting creates habitat for diverse bird populations throughout the seasons. Early risers will appreciate the active wildlife as one camper notes: "Woodpeckers very active in the morning. Cabins are close to the bayou."
Lake activities: Lake Chicot State Park Campground offers water-based recreation on Arkansas's largest natural lake. Located 40 miles from Rolling Fork, the lake features distinctive cypress trees along its shoreline. "The lakeside sites are so nice. You can watch the sunsets on the lake. There are cypress trees at the lake's edge all around the lake," shares one visitor who appreciated the scenic water views.
What campers like
Seasonal tranquility: Fall and winter months bring quieter camping experiences with reduced insects and pleasant temperatures. "Very nice out of the way quiet State Park. Lots of space and not very full in late September. Bathroom and showers were great," notes one visitor to Lake Chicot State Park.
Wildlife viewing: The rural location provides opportunities to observe native species including deer, raccoons, waterfowl, and occasionally alligators. "Wildlife seems to be abundant as we saw dozens of deer, large raccoons, squirrels, pelicans, and ducks," reports a camper at Lake Chicot, highlighting the diverse animal population during the off-season.
Fishing opportunities: Both parks offer fishing access with Pecan Grove RV Park providing additional options near Lake Village, Arkansas. The park sits opposite Lake Chicot with boat access. "If you have a boat, nice lake across the street. Full hook-up, 50amp pull through sites," explains a visitor who appreciated the convenient lake access.
What you should know
Seasonal insects: Mosquitoes and biting insects can be problematic, particularly during warmer months. "Mosquitoes caused us to eat dinner inside our trailer, although it was otherwise nice enough to eat outside," reports a visitor to Leroy Percy State Park, indicating that screening or repellent is advisable.
Limited occupancy: Many campgrounds in the area have few visitors during certain periods, which appeals to those seeking solitude but may concern others. "Very quiet as there was only one other camper there. Sites are big, level and cement," notes a Leroy Percy visitor, reflecting the typically low occupancy rate.
Shower facilities: Bathroom and shower conditions vary across parks and sometimes within the same facility. "The bathrooms were old, but mostly clean. The only exception being the handicapped men's shower which was a mess," reports one recent visitor, suggesting checking multiple shower stalls if available.
Tips for camping with families
Water safety awareness: Properties near water require vigilant supervision of children due to proximity to bayous, lakes and wildlife concerns. "Cabins are close to the bayou. Would be very cautious with children," warns one Peacock in the Delta visitor, highlighting safety considerations around water features.
Recreational amenities: Some campgrounds offer additional facilities beyond standard campsites. "There is a fishing pier, basketball court, pool, 3 pavilions, playground, and a horseshoe pit. The visitor's center is very nice and informative," explains a Lake Chicot camper, detailing family-friendly amenities available on property.
Bathroom options: Individual bathroom facilities provide added convenience for families with children at some locations. "Parking close to clean beautiful individual bathrooms," mentions a Lake Chicot visitor, noting the convenient restroom setup that works well for families with young children.
Tips from RVers
Site leveling: Most concrete pads are level enough that minimal adjustments are required. "Sites were level enough that we didn't unhook. Stayed here in a 29' travel trailer. FHU," reports a visitor to Pecan Grove RV Park, indicating ease of setup for overnight stays.
Hookup variations: Electrical service ranges from 30-50 amp depending on campground area and specific site selection. "Area F has full hook-ups and 30 amps. The sites are nice but a little short. Area A contains the prime sites with full hook-ups and 30 and 50 amps," explains a Lake Chicot camper, noting differences between camping sections.
Cell service: Connectivity varies by location and carrier. "Cell phone (Verizon) and antenna reception are good possibly because there are no leaves on the trees," shares a winter visitor to Lake Chicot State Park, suggesting seasonal factors affect signal strength.
