Mississippi state parks maintain a network of well-appointed cabin facilities. Buccaneer State Park and Roosevelt State Park provide fully furnished cabin rentals with basic kitchen amenities, electrical outlets, and climate control systems. Cabins at Clarkco State Park feature indoor plumbing, with some offering lake views and private picnic areas. Most include beds with mattresses, basic furniture, and electrical outlets for personal devices. A visitor noted, "Our family of 5 stayed for the weekend. A four day weekend would have been perfect. Our site was easy to get into and relatively level. Full hookups."
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Wall Doxey State Park offers log cabins with varying levels of furnishing, while Davis Bayou Campground in Gulf Islands National Seashore provides waterfront cabin options. Some properties, like Wendy Oaks RV Resort, maintain pet-friendly cabin policies with specific rules about size and number of animals. Advanced reservations are essential during summer months, with many parks booking solid on weekends. Based on reviews from The Dyrt, "We stayed in a 29' TT. Sites are big, level and cement," reflecting the spaciousness of some cabin areas.
Depending on the campground, cabin amenities vary significantly. Most include beds with mattresses but require visitors to bring linens, pillows, and towels. Basic kitchenettes typically include refrigerators, microwaves, and coffee makers, though cookware and utensils are not always provided. Flint Creek Waterpark maintains on-site camp stores selling basic provisions, while many other locations require campers to bring all necessary food and supplies. Several parks close seasonally for renovations or maintenance, as noted in one review: "Attention: Campground closed without further notice. We chose this campground to stay for 1-2 nights while traveling to New Orleans."

$11 - $567 / night

ScoutBeautiful weather. I was not on the water but I had a clear view of the lake it was still very pretty! Grounds were immaculate. Not much shade on my site until about 4:30. But a lot of sites had no shade!!
ScoutI was a bit disappointed they have revamped or as they say improved the campgrounds. However, my campsite was in a hot, blazing sun, no trees, no shade nothing. I didn’t feel like I was camping in the woods. I really felt more like it was just a big concrete parking lot. I understand that this is happening across Mississippi and I hate it. I don’t mind trees being trimmed and cut so big Riggs can get in there. I don’t mind that at all, but just don’t get rid of everything. I have a tent that I use and I had nowhere I could put it up.the lake is a beautiful, beautiful lake and it used to have pretty pretty trees.! I did cut my trip short by one day/ night. It was just miserable and I didn’t enjoy it.
TravelerNice quiet campground. We stayed at site 59. Level concrete pad, full hookup. We walked a couple trails. It’s been very dry no waterfalls and small creeks were dry.
TravelerHele nette camping! Hier in midden okt.2026 geweest. Helaas door droogte mochten wij niet bbq, open vuur of zwemmen.
ScoutThe price is with 96$ to high. To much mosquitos.
GuideClean and cozy campground. Lots of trees. Cement and gravel sites available. Laundry, restrooms, pool, dog park, and a pond that you can fish in.
GuideOverall, I'm pretty pleased with Percy Quin. Grounds are well kept and it's very peaceful - I can barely hear any road noise.! I'm at one of the premium primitive sites (raised wooden tent beds, tables and chairs but no electric or water) situated along the lakeshore. Some of the chairs need to be replaced or removed, and perhaps they should put the site letter markers facing the parking area instead of the water; but the restroom has AC! The RV sites seem very nice as well. There are large hickory nuts falling from the very tall trees. I have yet to be hit in the head with one bu
TravelerThis is a beautiful lakeside campground with lots of sites. It’s a larger campground that caters to RVs of all sizes, but is great for tent camping too! They allow tent camping in the “RV pads” but even better is they don’t make you pitch your tent on the concrete or gravel. You can pitch your tent in the grass. They also have a really really nice primitive area without hookups, but has water really close. It’s well maintained and shady all day.
The lake is beautiful. There is fishing and kayaking and boating. They do rent kayaks but idk how much. There are piers to fish off of.
This is a beautifully maintained park, but the BEST part for this tent camping gal? The bath houses ARE CLIMATE CONTROLLED!
To me this is kind of the best of both worlds. Enough nature to not feel like you’re in an rv resort, but all the amenities of one.
GuideWe stayed at camp spot 216 with our 36 ft class A RV. It had full hook up and our stay for 1 night was scenic and quiet. There is only ONE functioning bathroom in this lowered end camp ground at the time of our stay and is only has cold water showers. The facility was clean though. The camp hosts at the gate house were, helpful, polite and friendly. We paid $38 for the night at this Premium location with waterfront. No swimming allowed in the lake, but you can fish. Would stay here again for a pit stop, but since we cant bathe in the bathhouse I wouldn't recommend a long stay unless you had your own camper with shower ans toilet facility to use.
Cabin camping in Mississippi offers a unique blend of nature and comfort, allowing visitors to enjoy the great outdoors without sacrificing the conveniences of home.
