Bogue Chitto State park is a great place to stay, fish, tube down the river, or bike. It does not matter if you are a beginner or an advanced rider, there are trails for everyone. The pump track is great for kids to play on. They have even built a small balance bike loop for small kids to learn and play on. Definitely a place to go check out and make a day of exploring the park.

Quite literally this park has something for everyone, hiking, biking, camping, glamping if you're into that. They have primitive camping. The hiking trails are great, plenty of them. You have access to a river that you can actually get in not just look at. Bathrooms a plenty, they literally spared no expense on this park, its well covered. $3.00 well spent. Don't know why I havent been here sooner. Plan on coming back and exploring more. The Gorge trail is absolutely beautiful, especially down in the gorge around this time of spring. Flowers, birds, and the creek running made for a excellent hike.

It was great, Gorge Trail was sweet, took a splash in the river, great time, hiked over 7 miles, not into mountain biking but they had some really cool looking courses and jumps, didn’t camp but if we did it would have been nice I bet. 5 stars easy

Awesome camping experience, with bike, hiking, and horse trails, it feels open. They feature a bike park area with multiple trails and features. There are multiple lakes and a river for kayaking with paths to small but nice beaches. There is a playground, and splash pad with camping spots all around.

Bogue Chitto state park is a pretty awesome place! Trails for days, the playground is AMAZING (also has a splash pad) & the camp store (I don’t think it’s affiliated with the actual park?) is awesome too! Has lots of things that you need if you forget anything at home. They also sell hunts brothers pizza & they have blue bell ice cream by the scoop! The lady that runs the store is absolutely amazing! You can rent golf carts & bikes! The bike park is also pretty awesome too! But don’t forget your helmets!

A really nice park! A quiet, peaceful state park. Horse trails, hiking trails, BMX trails, and mountain bike trails. Also, there was a Frisbee golf course. Restrooms were kept clean. Friendly hosts. We took advantage of the hiking trails. Wish we could have stayed longer.

My husband and I just got back from a 4 night, 5 day camping trip today from there. It was absolutely beautiful, very well kept up, spacious sites and restrooms were very clean. Fire wood and ice available there on the spot. Very peaceful! Definitely will return many more times.

Its larger than expected. Roads are paved and very smooth. Plenty of signage so you don't get lost. Nice ponds to fish and easy access. Restrooms are clean and easy to get to. The hiking trails are well maintained too.

We loved hiking through the Bogue Chitto State Park in Franklinton. It was pretty easy even though there were a few hills we had to navigate over. The park is perfect for camping, picnics, and fishing! Enjoy the outdoors!

Very nice park. Interior roads were just paved. Stayed in upland campground loop. Bottom loop looks really nice, but check the weather before you book down there. A large portion of bottom loop is in a "flash flood" area, and from what I saw it hasn't been long since a flash flood... Bike/walking trails are in excellent condition. Also have horse trails. Staff was very friendly. Will be back.
