Guide
This park is literally in the middle of Jackson, Mississippi in a beautiful setting. The lake was lovely and we saw herons, cranes, turtles and deer. The sites are right on the lake and the shower house was convenient and clean. It’s also secure; you have to have a code to enter and exit the park. The only problem was the sounds of the city. We heard sirens all night (it was Halloween night) and there is a recycling plant nearby and the sounds of crushing metal were really loud until about 11. In our tents we had to resort to earplugs. Great location. Picnic tables and fire rings.
LegendWe 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.
LegendJackson 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. Bathouse needs some attention. Only one of 3 stalls works in womens side. There are 2 shower stalls. One small and the larger handicap access one has stained floor. There's a nature trail on site. Two boat ramps one gives access to Pearl River. Campground located next to Mississippi Museum of Natural History, a Children's Museum, Ag Museum and a golf course too. Great location to explore Jackson MS. Verizon 3 bars on 4g

This park/campground is about 8 miles west of the town of Port Gibson, near a nuclear reactor (yes, you heard that right). This park is not on the way to anywhere (except the nuclear reactor) and we were apprehensive as we followed the GPS directions but upon arrival, we were pleasantly surprised by a park filled with history. Unfortunately for us, the campground was full as the nearby reactor was being refueled and all the employees were either camped out along the road or in the park. Also, the Mississippi River had risen to the road, coming very close to flooding the park. For future reference, the camping fees are very reasonable ($25 or $23 for 62 and older) for a FHU site. There is also an area for tents, although I did not ask the fee for this. There are two camping areas – an upper and lower campground and one small bathhouse that is located in the Upper Campground (one toilet and sink and two shower stalls). I would think one night here would be enough, but if you are a history buff, this destination should be on your list.
The town of Grand Gulf boasted nearly 1,000 residents by the mid-1800s but then yellow fever, a tornado, and massive floods reduced the population to 158 by the time the Civil War arrived in the area. Features include a church, mill, old cemetery, observation tower, gun emplacements, rifle pits.

When I was a kid this place was nice but .. I called and was told to just to show up. When we did there was no one around. The place looks to be abandoned. We went to nearby lake Lincon. But staying there was not a option. The hookups were there but the grass was taller than they were .
GuideClose to sardis and enid lake
Traveler
Love this campground. Nice beach area for swimming. level pads. full hook ups. plenty of shade. nice size lots. bath houses in good shape and air conditioned.
ScoutWe have camped at Lake Lincoln several times. Very nice campground with most of the amenities you could want. Very busy campground on holiday weekends. Camped very near the water. Sites are a little closer than I usually like but sites are nice and view of lake is great. We went in spring both times and bank fishing was exceptional. Friendly staff. Very nice campground.
Travelerlarge,Alligators, fishing looks to be best in spring and fall. Hot in summer. Camps are clean and sites are adequate,but nor cheap. 7 ml to town.
GuideThe fishing is decent. Campgrounds get very crowded. The lake needs to be restocked.
RangerAfter this teacher/mom and her kids were sent home from school due to Covid-19, we decided that some time in nature was what we all needed as a family. Our friends and their family joined us, and we headed to Lake Lincoln State Park for a long weekend. Since it was a spur of the moment decision, there were no neighboring sites with a view of the lake to choose from. We ended up at sites 36 and 37 since access to the lake was nearby.
Our sites were very close to one another, so these would be ideal for two people traveling together. If I had not known my neighbors, I would definitely not want to stay on site 36 as its view was a direct view of our friends’ camper and their sewer connection. This did make for some great jokes later. Each site had a picnic table, a concrete pad, and a grill but no fire ring or lantern post. Sewer hook ups were a plus since the bathhouses were all shut down. We set up a tent for our college-aged son just behind the two campsites (an additional charge of $15 per night).
We all loved the amount of shade and seclusion these two sites provided. We felt like we were nestled snuggly into the pines and enjoyed a peekaboo view of the lake, a precious chapel in our “backyard,” and easy access to the lake and beach areas. We used the driver side of site 37 as our communal area for our two families and enjoyed cooking, playing games, sitting around the fire, and listening to music here. Our stay was extremely quiet even with day use visitors coming into the campground to fish and enjoy the beach area. We enjoyed several walks with our dogs touring the campground and hiking the trail. We did tour the campground but didn’t really note any specific sites that tickled our fancy. We did see several that had direct views of the lake we know we would have enjoyed. Our girls enjoyed lounging in the sun on the beach area until it was closed due to mitigation measures. We hung two hammocks easily with the multitude of trees on sites 36 and 37, and few naps were enjoyed in both during our stay. The guys did some fishing but not any catching worth speaking of, much to our dismay. More than anything, we ate well and laughed lots during our stay which is more than anyone can hope for in a vacation.
Overall, this trip cured our cabin fever during an unprecedented time in our world’s history, and we made more great memories with our dearest friends. We loved Lake Lincoln and hope to visit again in the future. Hopefully, we can do some fishing AND catching the next time around.
GuideI came here once when we were kids, nothing popped out to me then as a kid.
Recently stayed there with my kids mostly because of nostalgia, my kids kinda had the same meh 😐 reaction.
Has a playground, swimming area was closed though.
This is another good park to come to if you're into fishing.
Bathhouses could use a remodle or painting. Had to explain to my youngest why there are pics of male genitalia etched into the restroom stall walls. Some graffiti was dated several years old.
TravelerNice campground. We stayed in back loop by lake. Sites were very narrow, no privacy, everyone is on top of each other. The site next to us had sewer hook up right on side of our picnic table. Lots of flies but no mosquitoes!
TravelerLoved the campground sites are spread out nice shade wish I would of gotten a spot on the water but other than that I give it a 10 out of 10
ScoutThe park is clean and well kept. The place started quite and was completely full . There are updates needs in the bathhouses. There is also no hand soap . Otherwise we’ll maintained. Nice lake! The place seems to be a favorite spot for the La. People. The beach needs to be reworked. We will come back soon .
ScoutThis was our first time camping using our popup. We set it up with ease and enjoyed a weekend vacation. It was my husband’s first time ever camping. We were both astonished with the vacation feel of camping. We had a great time and our fur babies have slept the past two days since we’ve been back. They played so hard and we hiked a lot! The only negative side was a street light righttttt above us, all in all we loved it and can’t wait to go back.
LegendA great family atmosphere. Sites were roomy. Electric and water. Dump station available. Did not see the park host, but we reserved online. Bathrooms were clean (except the corners had cobwebs). Hiking, biking, and kayaking. We were at site 64, which is directly on the lake. Concrete pad, that was pretty level. 25 dollars a night.
GuideWe enjoyed fishing and kayaking on the lake. The campground is very scenic with lake views. My one and only complaint is we had a street light right above our camper so we couldn’t see the stars well at night while sitting around our campfire. I had good Verizon cell service. AT&T and TMobile had no service and the Starlink worked pretty well even with the trees obstructing. Ms Patsy that works in the office was super helpful and friendly. We will definitely consider camping here again.
ScoutWe stayed at Lake Lincoln state park over the weekend. The sites are spaced well apart the sites are nice and level. Plenty of stuff for the kids to do.
Guide
Very friendly placed. I camped here during a music festival and it was pretty crowded, but still nice. There is a river there to fish and boat down.
GuideMy husband and I spent three nights here. It was a peaceful stay with a paved walking track and boat ramp. I would stay here again. They were working on improvements and could very well become a four star getaway with a little work. Trash, Bathrooms and bathhouse on-site.
Traveler
Overall the stay wasn’t bad. The staff was pleasant and the area and lake is very nice. The restrooms were awful and it looks like the maintenance crew don’t check them regularly. The campsite is getting a make over in September so this may account for the apathy towards these facilities. No camp store but I was told this is coming next year.
ScoutUnfortunately our trip was clouded by the rain...pun intended. As is typical for the Gulf Coast South... it rained and rained and rained. There were breaks that allowed for us to get out and do a few things. We went to the "beach" and the kids enjoyed it. Dont think of the beach as the typical sandy beaches on coasts, instead this is a lake beach with grass. Under water though was fine. Quite clean and no debris.
There is a pool also, but it was closed at the time because of coronavirus. Hopefully if we go back, it will be open then.
This particular site was very close to the water, which is why we chose it, however immediately next to our camper was a very steep drop off which made it impossible to set up our camper mat and outdoor cooking supplies next to our outdoor kitchen. We wouldn't choose that site again.
ScoutADA sight was occupied by non handicap campers kids all over the place 7 and under un supervised stopping traffic dodging between vehicles other than that the park is one of the nicer places we have stayed weekend price was 30.00 a night full service hook up and bath houses were super clean recommended of your traveling through
GuideThe primitive camping area was nice. We found a spot by the water. Go early to get a good site. Bathrooms are okay, can use more cleaning. Bath house was decent. Fishing was nice even though we didn’t catch anything.
RangerWhen our best friends and travel companions bought a camper, we couldn’t wait to all go camping together with our kids and dogs. A quick weekend getaway to Percy Quin was in order for us all. Because of our last minute decision to go camping, we had limited sites to choose from (especially neighboring sites). We ended up at sites 63 and 64 which were pretty close together, but we were happy with that since we knew our neighbors. The sites included sewer hookup, a picnic table, a grill, and an asphalt pad. There were no designated fire rings, so we made our own. Other sites that we thought looked nice for traveling with friends were 47/49, 50/52, 57/59, and 60/61.
Since this was a quick trip (and the weather was miserably cold), we didn’t get to explore as much as we would have liked. We did walk the dogs around the campground to see all of the campsites, the little chapel, and the lake. The boys did some fishing but didn’t get to do any catching on this cold November weekend. The campground was generally noisy and was completely packed for the weekend; however, it was pretty quiet at night. The sites were all quite close to one another, not affording much seclusion and privacy from other guests. Although it wasn’t our favorite campground close to home, Percy Quin was a good place for a quick getaway with our friends and kids, and we made some great memories!
ScoutThis park is always clean and relaxing. Bring your boat for fishing or skiing. The lake was drained a couple years ago and has been restocked and ready for good times.
