Janice Landing is located 10 miles downstream from Moody’s Landing on the Black Creek float trip. Black Creek hiking trail passes near this campground.
All You Need is a 111 acre paradise that is home to some VERY unique and endangered habitat. Our northern boundary is a tract of DeSoto National Forest, where we have practically exclusive access to another 90 acres of longleaf pine savannah and more bottomland creeks.
The sandhills are home to prickly pear cactus, deer moss (7 kinds of lichen), and our mascot, the endangered Gopher Tortoise.
We're working to develop a nature education and retreat center where we share permaculture practices, homesteading/sustainable living skills, conservation practices, and approaches to connecting more deeply to the land.
You will have access to and be a 5 minute walk from our many walking paths and our swimming pond, as well as a 15 minute walk to Desoto National Forest, which butts up to our property line.
We would love to have you as our guest on the land, and are especially eager to meet travelers who deeply love nature and want to live in better relationship to it!
$25 - $95 / night
Site serves as the end point for both the Black Creek float trip and hiking trail

Nice location if it weren't for the truck noise, subwoofer bandits and susceptibility to flooding. The management is non-existent except for when it's time to be stupid.
They have some very obnoxious full-time RVs there who who prey on short-term visitors with obnoxious motorcycle behavior. Avoid the fire pit circle... Loud drunk and incredibly obnoxious people.
Scout
Good place to go on a camping trip
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.
Guide
We enjoyed our mid October stay. Great playground and splash pad for the children. We walked the nature trail and enjoyed the river views from our campsite. This park packs them in during the summer months but was pretty quiet this time. The park is clean and very family friendly. Cell service: Verizon service with 2 bars and AT&T one bar sometimes none. We were able to stream the LSU Tigers beat Arkansas on our Verizon hot spot.
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.
Legend
Beautiful campground with large spaces. Wildlife is in abundance. Hosts kept us informed of the weather. Close to everything.
Scout
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.
Scout
This campground has been temporarily closed for 4 years and when I last spoke to the rangers office, there was no schedule for re-opening.
Legend
Stayed here because it was so close, literally a block away, from the Mississippi Colosseum, for granddaughters cheer competition. We checked it and were greeted at arrival, with information packet. FHU, back-in concrete pad, and small dog park. A nice clubhouse and facilities, although we did not use. Directly across the street from the beach, perfect for photos. Clean pool but too cold to use. Very close to neighbors and backed up to apts, which the garbage truck came super early on Sat, dumpster on other side of fence. We were up early, but if you like relaxing and peacefulness, probably not my choice. Close to lots of area attractions, stores and restaurants. Many closed for off season, however. Waffle House next door to RV park. Good for short stay!
Scout
Pitbull friendly they didn’t bay an eye. Great staff super clean place. Friendly people.
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.
Traveler
It's a pretty big R. V. Lot. $50 per night on average. Quiet and peaceful. Not too many mosquitoes flying around, but if you plan on going to new orleans that uber will cost you about sixty bucks one way ;). There's a laundromat 2$ for wash and 2 for dry. And a dollar general right across the street in case you need some little things.
Ranger
Came here for two nights because our initial campground was too sketchy. Wayyyyyyyy overpriced but got the job done.
Scout
Loved the little walk into the spot. Explored the best spot to pitch our tent . Peace and quiet. Not far to the car for supplies. 30 yards and that’s it. Great location to the beach and gulf
Traveler
We had an amazing time at Creekside! I stayed here with three friends over the weekend and it was the perfect getaway. We booked the yurt, which came with a super comfy bed, a few extra snacks and even some art supplies to use. The campsite was very spacious with easy access to the creek.
Alicia was a lovely host and we had a great time at the biscuit class in the morning, which included free snuggles with her pups. We will be back!
Scout
Great location. Staffs are friendly and helpful. The RV sites are well mark. We will be back to stay
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.
Guide
Campgrounds are beautiful with line forests surrounding the sites. Utilities are primitive but expected for a free campground. Watch where you step! Lots of horse poop.

We stayed here after picking up our new 5th wheel from Dad's Camper outlet. Not even a mile away. I hope this is allowed, Cat Trent and Ricky were great with getting our new 5th wheel ready for us. Check them out for any RV needs. The staff was very nice. The campground was very nice. It is only 4 months old. All the amenities you need and expect from a KOA. The only difference is that it's new and not run down. Pull through sites are level and concrete. As you can see from my pics, it was raining quite hard.
RangerI enjoyed walking around by the water. This is by ocean springs a little town with awesome art!
ScoutHave camped here a few times over the years never had a bad experience!! Warm weather weekend campers should probably choose a site on back side of loop as the boat launch gets pretty busy and generally use the section closest to hwy . Expect a few cars thru the night and long periods of silence
Guide
So McLeod wasn’t bad at all like I said I just wish our experience would have been better. We had lot 67 which when we first parked we didn’t have anyone else on our little road besides us til the weekend. You couldn’t really see it from the site, but across the road was the river. There was a walking trail at the end that led to a little sand bar which was nice, but had to be extra careful bc of the roots and huge holes in the ground that was also filled with beer cans 🙄 our spot didn’t have a fire ring or a grill my husband had to walk to one of the other vacant spots to use that grill which was a little aggravating but whatever. The roaches THE ROACHES WERE HORRIBLE. Especially at night as soon as you’d open up the door they were flying EVERYWHERE, we camped in August 🤦🏼♀️. I ended up having to put poisons out in the camper when we got back home bc it was impossible keeping them out 🤮 the nature trail could seriously need a little more tlc buuutttt besides that me and my husband loved to ride our bikes around the campground and our daughters loved the play ground and little splash pad! We spent most of our time at the playground! It’s really not that bad of a park. We didn’t really like the drinking and people riding on their boats blaring obnoxious music, but that’s just our personal preference and only happened during the weekend.
Guide
Me and my husband wanted a nice little getaway from the house so we decided to try out Clear water. It’s a very nice and relaxing rv park. I told my hubby it’s a retirement home but for campers 😅 a lot of snow birds from Michigan! We had a great time especially loved the fire ring we had on our lot which was great to have during the cold weather. Most of the other campgrounds I’ve been to haven’t had any kind of fire rings. The man that runs it takes very good care of the campground and when you buy firewood he actually bring it to you at your lot which was really great! They had a beautiful lit up pond with a fountain and water wheel at night. We had our two daughters with us which they loved going on a walk around the park and looking at the ducks. Just about everyone is friendly there. I’m going to go ahead and give it 5 stars but I wish there would have been a playground in the campground, but I understand they typically have snowbirds and not a lot of young couples with kids. But it was still nice and we really enjoyed it! They had a park down the road so we decided to just drive and take the girls to it. There is also a family dollar/dollar tree and a dollar general down the road which was about less then 4-5 mins away which was great and very convenient.
ScoutWe are an older couple but love NF camping. Ratings are so subjective. We are in a camper van. Apparently this is a landing point for float trips. 5 sites total. Toilet was clean. Water on site but not sure I would drink it as there was a lot of sediment. Make sure you have what you need as services are limited. No cell coverage. I think there are nicer options in close proximity. It was free.
GuideThis is a great site at a great location. We arrived in the dark but luckily we had the gate code in the email to move in set up our spot. The next morning we were amazed by the beautiful location of it. Highly recommend will definitely come back here
TravelerStopped here for 1 night between Lake Charles and Tallahassee. Great half way stop. Federal National Seashore campground. Make reservations on recreation.gov. Very nice campground hosts pulled up in their golf cart while they were making rounds around the campground and checked us in. Clean, level parking. I was in spot 1 which was well shaded. Stores within 5-10 minute drive. Will definitely stay here again.
Scout
Stay every time we are in the area. Love everything about it. So friendly
