We spent 4 days at Poverty Point Resevior State Park. The staff was excellent. The cabin has all basic necessities (towels, linens, and cookware). The kitchen had all the gadgets you need such as a toaster, can opener, microwave and coffee maker (no filters though). If you're looking to cook like we known to do, you'll have to bring your own (magnalites, cast iron pots, rice cookers, crockpots, etc). We rented cabin 1. It's an over water cabin. The cabin itself was clean, but could use some deep, deep cleaning. The furniture was a little uncomfortable, especially the double bed. The best seat was the rocking chair on the deck. The path from parking to the cabin is in need of work. Many loose boards and railings. The wifi is nonexistent at the cabin. I can't speak for any other part of the park because we didn't try to connect anywhere else. So make sure you have your own data plan, hotspots, etc. The fishing was great which is part of what we went for. Overall it was a great experience. It was very relaxing and quiet. Quite a few food options nearby if you don't want to cook. It's a great experience I highly recommend.

Boy, a very nice park. Large sites, the pull thru was huge. Fun trails around the park. Great for singles or families.

Compared to other state and federal campgrounds, this is one of the nicest I have stayed at. The bathrooms are very clean and the showers are warm. There's also a laundry room in the same building. There are only four pull-through sites. Sites 43 to 50 are primarily shaded. Also they offer Wi-Fi which had good service at site 45. I highly recommend this park for camping and definitely would return. Be sure to ask for discounts, we got a great senior discount.

Had to take care of a family matter recently in Delhi and stayed at one of the cabins on the lake. It was a fantastic experience for my and my family and we may just have to create another excuse to visit the Delhi area and stay in one of these cabins again.

This state park is near i20. We’re pleasantly surprised that the Registration booth is opened till 8pm on Saturday unlike a lot of other State’s Parks. The park ranger is friendly, nice and professional. There’s also a 15% discount for military/veteran. The park is well kept, clean and well spaced. Would be great if they could add more garbage disposal area around the park. Would definitely come back again!
