A real melting pot of a campground. Everything from tent campers to 40' fivers. From shirtless, tattooed guys to well dressed couples walking their dogs. If you do not mesh well with all types, this may not be your place. Lots and lots of beer drinking. If you want to let it all hang out and have a great time tubing this is your place. If you want a nice serene, quiet weekend with the kids as we do, try Percy Quinn State Park right down the road. Some turns in the C.G. are a little tight. We caught a rainy weekend. The gravel roads held up nice and standing water did not seem to be a problem. We did have a good time but we seem to get along with all types. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We found the site from an internet ad and decided to give it a try. The park is very shaded and we found the staff to be very helpful. We had reserved a full hook up site, we thought, but were disappointed to learn that there was a temp sub in place that took my reservation. There were no full hookups available. The manager did refund the difference in cost and placed us in a double site. There are numerous canoeing/tubing outfits in the area, one just outside of the park. We will most definetly return. The only downfall to the weekend was that we lost electricity for a couple of hours the first night and there were some "slightly tanked" tenters who did not know the meaning of quiet. Which we probably wouldn't have noticed had the a/c drowned out the noise. The second night was great, either we could not hear them over the a/c or they were still hurting too much to party. Playgrounds are plentiful. Bathhouses on have one stall but were numerous We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park was great fun for the kids. It was a little woodsy for me. There were only 7 full hookup sites. The site gave us more than enough room. There was a concrete patio area off of the camper pad in addition to the picnic area. We had a really nice grill on the site. In the park there are two nature trails, playgrounds, four bath houses,and a large basketball court. Because it is located on the Bogue Chitto River, many tourists come to float the river and canoe. In the entrance of the park, there are tube and canoe rentals. Fishing is popular as well. The only negative things I can review is that it is impossible to get a satellite signal with all the trees. Also, they really need to clear the poison ivy away from the sites. It is close to the pads. Beware of this when you bring pets and children. We will return. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very nice place. We enjoyed every minute of our stay. Campground is very clean, restrooms were basically clean. Nice large showers. Equipped with picnic tables, BBQ pits, and fire ring (bricks were in a circle and that is where you are to have a campfire). Some site were very unlevel others nice and level. All blacktop paved. No lights in campground at night, make sure to bring flashlights if arriving at night. Nice family CG. Plan on going back again and again. One negative to note is no cable and no WIFI. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
My site (#60) was decent sized and level. Some others I saw were neither. I was barely able to reach the sewer hookup with a 12 foot hose. Park was generally well kept. Each site had a trash can that was emptied frequently. Most of the workers were prison inmates. They seemed to be doing a good job but weren't supervised very closely. The park office was very helpful when I had a minor mechanical problem and had to have a part shipped to me. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
One of our favorite places that's not too far of a tow. Wooded, wildlife, golf, lake, and close to quaint antique shopping nearby. Having full hokups at every site is a big +++. Have stayed here countless times and have booked 2 yrs in advance for holiday weekends. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
My favorite campground yet! Beautiful grounds and a giant lake to make a wonderful view. Great place to take your family and ride bikes. The fact they have sewer hookup gives it a 10++. Loved it and cannot wait to go back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
If you are looking for a consistently clean, quiet and user friendly park, then Percy Quin is for you. This is our 8th trip of 2007 and we have camped in a different location each time. We highly recommend this as a family park and consider Percy our #1 campground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice quiet campground. Good fishing in the lake. Spots were clean. Hard to get satellite TV with all the trees but has plenty of shade. Lots of hills to climb. Two golf courses. A nice 18-hole course and a par three. Would return again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very nice campground on a lake. We have camped here many times and just love the place. Has a golf course in the state park too. They have rebuilt the bathhouses and added sewer hookups to all sites. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground is a must see. My two children had a blast riding their bikes and skateboards on the hilly, paved roads. All sites were paved and shaded. The bathhouses were clean. The beach and playground were also nice. I will definitely visit this campground again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Bring your golf clubs. Located within the State Park is a beautiful 18 hole and 9 hole course called Quail Hollow (601-684-2903). Also, you must have lunch at The Dinner Bell restaurant in nearby McComb. It is "family style" home cooking served around a large round table with a huge lazy susan in the middle. They are famous for their fried eggplant and chicken. This "round table" style of restaurant used to be quite common in Mississippi, but The Dinner Bell may be the last of a dying breed. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great park, kids everywhere. Within 1/2hour of being there my kids (6 & 8) had found others to play with and were having a great time. We stayed on a lake-view site and it was great, level and very easy to back into. I did notice that there were some sites that were not as level as the one we had. Some really not level. That is the only negative that I could find with this park. I did check out bathhouse, this has to be the largest shower I have ever seen, and very clean. We have already scheduled another long weekend at this park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very nice state campground. Nice paved roads, RV sites generally set wide apart, level and in good condition, many sites have partial shade, and many have view of lake. 18 & 9 hole quality golf courses at the CG. Garbage picked up every morning. Good hiking & biking trails. Stayed there in a 32' 5th wheel; will definitely go back. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Can't say enough about this park. The sites are mostly shady and all are paved and pretty
level. The whole campground is now full hookup, they just made the improvements this year. They also remodeled the bathhouses. They are fine!! Ceramic tile floor and walls. It's a very large state park, well kept. It has a nice pool, but it wasn't open, it opens Memorial weekend. We swam in the swimming area at the lake, which is for campground guests only. Two nice piers for fishing, a fish cleaning station, a marina, concessions, 4 tennis courts, playground, game room, nature trail, & laundry. Lake perfect for fishing, boating, skiing, etc. The website shows a lot of photos, but they were taken in the fall looks like, and they don't do the park justice. It is a beautiful state park, can't wait to go back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I have been camping here since I was 8 years old, 41 years now. The park is very nice
and has become more and more popular over the years. Nice lake, GREAT playground for the kids, lots of people too. I would definitely recommend this one
for a family if you like to be with lots of other families nearby. We've stayed in a tent, a cabin and lately a 26' motorhome. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We were camped in our 36 foot fifth wheel and no problems manuevering and parking. Sewer connections are currently being installed to sites (some are already in). Very large, well maintained state park with lots of activities. All roads are paved and in excellent shape. Very shady and quiet. Highly recommend. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
