I have not been really impressed by Mississippi, however the state parks have been really NICE. The park here is beautiful and the people are very nice. Very impressed.

the park itself Is beautiful, beautiful lakes for kayaking (they have rentals) or fishing, very small roads coming in to the park, no sign when you get close to the office to tell you stop and park in the overflow parking lot because if you go into the office area circle you won't get out unless you have a tiny RV, there are nice paved roads for riding bikes but I would definitely not suggest the trails in the woods as there are lots of roots and overgrowth, there are several items on the playground for kids and lots of picnic tables (some with covers), nice staff in the office, there is a guard shack towards the entrance of the park that seems unmanned and it is in a very odd place and we almost hit the roof with our fifth wheel, there are several dumpsters around the park and a dump station if you need it, there are several large pavilions with picnic tables, water pressure is good but the sites can be quite difficult to back into if you have a large rig (we thought we would flip over at one point). Elvis's birthplace and museum are maybe 15 minutes away, restaurants and stores are 15 min or so away

It's a beautiful lake, clean water and many gorgeous settings. We visited to do some bass fishing and were not successful that day. Highly recommend as a place to visit though.
