Flint Creek Water Park
Overview
Flint Creek Water Park is a prominent outdoor destination located just outside of Wiggins, Mississippi. Managed by the Pat Harrison Waterway District, this park centers around a 600-acre reservoir that offers a peaceful escape for nature lovers and families alike. Unlike a standard roadside stop, this park provides a sense of community and a deep connection to the piney woods of South Mississippi. It is known for its expansive lake views and a variety of recreational activities that make it more than just a place to park an RV; it is a true destination for those seeking fresh air and water-based fun.
Location & Surroundings
Situated in Stone County, the park is nestled within a landscape dominated by towering pines and rolling hills. Its proximity to Highway 49 makes it easily accessible for travelers heading between Hattiesburg and the Gulf Coast. The surrounding area feels secluded, providing a quiet atmosphere where the sounds of nature replace highway noise. The park serves as a gateway to the De Soto National Forest, offering a lush, green backdrop that changes beautifully with the southern seasons, providing a serene environment for an extended stay.
Amenities & Park Features
The park is well-equipped for modern RVers, featuring over 100 RV campsites with full hookups including water, electricity, and sewer services. For those traveling with groups or without a rig, there are also climate-controlled cabins and primitive sites available. On-site facilities include boat ramps and fishing piers, catering to those looking to spend time on the water. During the warmer months, the seasonal water slides and designated swimming area become the park's focal points. Additionally, several nature trails wind through the property, perfect for morning walks or birdwatching under the forest canopy.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
While the lake is the primary draw for fishing and boating, the surrounding region offers plenty of exploration. A short drive south takes you to the Mississippi Gulf Coast, where you can enjoy white sand beaches and coastal dining. To the north, the city of Hattiesburg offers a variety of museums and botanical gardens for a day of culture. For those who prefer staying closer to nature, the Tuxachanie Trail in the nearby national forest provides a premier hiking experience through unique coastal plain ecosystems and historical sites.
Who This Park Is Best For
Flint Creek Water Park is an ideal choice for family vacationers looking for a multi-day stay filled with outdoor activity. Its combination of water-based recreation and wooded campsites makes it a favorite for those who enjoy a traditional camping experience without sacrificing modern conveniences like full hookups. It is particularly well-suited for anglers and boaters who want immediate access to the water. If you appreciate a park that feels like a natural retreat while remaining close to South Mississippi’s main travel corridors, this is a perfect fit for your travel style.

Rented bunkhouse #8, reasonable accommodation for the price. Oven did not work, there's a microwave and a mini fridge. Shower blasted! Waters edge was perfect to put paddle boards in. I will note this...they do not enforce the capacity because it was a party atmosphere where several groups rented cabins, kids everywhere and loud all night. I slept through it, but others would not have been happy. Nice little deck, picnic table and a window unit. A step up from primitive. Bath houses were very clean too.

We really enjoy spending time at flint creek. The cabins are nice. The prices are fair and it's clean.

Brutally honest review. We’ve camped at Flint Creek for 18 days this year—two 2-week stays and a weekend. It’s only 5 minutes from home, so we use it like a staycation while I still commute to work. What we love: Location is unbeatable for locals like us. Gate staff is always kind and professional. Huge props to the ladies working there! Disc Golf (Cheona Trails) is a fun, challenging course. We’re new to it, but had a great time—until we got barked at by a park employee for driving our golf cart through the picnic area on the final hole. We weren’t causing damage, just trying to finish the course. A respectful heads-up would’ve been appreciated. Safety: We’ve never felt unsafe, even during crowded holiday weekends. Nature & wildlife: Trails are peaceful and well-used. Love sharing the outdoors with the animals. Cleanliness: Park grounds are generally clean. We pick up trash when we see it—leave no trace. What needs work: Roads & sites: Many campground roads are in rough shape. FCFS sites are very unlevel and overgrown. Sites in Mohawk and Seneca should be upgraded to full hook-up, especially given the price. Maintenance: Our site (59A) had overgrown grass the whole time. Fencing was falling apart, and the steps into the water were dangerous—roofing nails sticking up where shingles had come off. My wife slipped and cut herself. Meanwhile, we often saw multiple park employees in trucks sitting and watching traffic, instead of tackling visible maintenance needs. There’s a lot they could be doing with better direction. Bathhouses: Terrible smell. Grimy. Doesn’t look or feel truly clean. Painting over dirt isn’t cleaning. Needs deep disinfecting and real upkeep. Message to Pat Harrison Waterway District: This park has serious potential. It’s close, it’s beautiful, and it’s staffed by some great people—but unless real improvements are made, we’ll probably camp at Paul B. Johnson SP next time. Rating: 3 to 3.5 stars.

Great place. We got a Camphouse, rather than a cabin. Very rustic and it’s beginning to show its age. But, a wonderful experience if you’re looking to camp without amenities. Lots of privacy and beautiful, natural surroundings.

Beautiful park. Lots of new upgrades to pavilions and cabins. Big waterpark with slide. Great fishing. Paved roads good for bike riding and golf carts. Several places to swim. No lifeguards. Pavilions and buildings available for rent. Lots of deer walking around too.
