Overview
Le Fleur's Bluff State Park offers a unique blend of scenic natural beauty and urban convenience right in the heart of Jackson, Mississippi. Spanning over 300 acres, this state park provides a lush green escape from the surrounding cityscape. It is named after Louis LeFleur, a French-Canadian explorer who established a trading post on the banks of the Pearl River in the late 1700s. Today, it serves as a tranquil retreat where visitors can reconnect with nature while staying centrally located near the state capital's various cultural and historical landmarks.

The park is situated along the banks of the Pearl River, providing a serene waterfront environment that feels miles away from the city. The landscape is characterized by rolling hills, mature hardwood forests, and the peaceful Mayes Lake. Its central location in Jackson makes it an ideal basecamp for travelers who want to explore Mississippi’s capital city without sacrificing the peace of a wooded campground. The proximity to Interstate 55 ensures that the park is easily accessible for large rigs and passing travelers looking for a convenient overnight or multi-day stop.

For those who enjoy the water, Mayes Lake provides opportunities for fishing and boating, while the bathhouses offer clean and accessible facilities for all overnight guests staying in the park.

Kathy McKay
Nice quite small campground. Located adjacent to the children's science museum and just across the highway from the ag museum. Older state park. But grounds are well cared for. No sewer.
Michelle Ralls
Loved the trails! I only gave 4 stars because the fact I was confused about where my dog could go. I had to bring him back home and then go back to finish the trail. Had a great time with my daughter 😄
Heather Barnes
So far so good! Terrible holes on the roads in and out and the traffic from the interstate is LOUD. Our site doesn’t have a bbq pit. Friendly staff,quiet during the day oh and misquotes are HUGE and hungry. Lots of places to fish and 2 boat launches. Piers are nice and the deer are out daily.

It is rare that my beautiful bride is off on a Saturday so, we took advantage of it and rode the museum trail. Very nice bike ride, I highly recommend.
Derrick Allard
Nice shaded SP. Over half of the sites back up to the lake with excellent views. It has one washer and dryer at $2 each. Spot 15-17 are big rig friendly ( 45'). However, 17 has a low spot that accumulates water and stays wet.
Desirae Bogard
Very big place. Could possibly spend the whole day and not even notice lol. My son loved it and so did I.
Teejay Adams
Ideal close to freeway and yet so peaceful. Flat concrete spots, no prob in 40ft 5th wheel. Checked in at gate although it was pretty busy (April) Birds and beautiful lake and swampy areas.

Great campground. Once you’re in the campground you’d never think you are close to town. It’s quiet and the fishing is great. The spots are nice and have 12x12 flat spots to set up chairs and tables.

Definitely worth a visit! Campground is absolutely great & the location is conveniently placed near the city. Many surrounding food options if you need, with other businesses for your personal leisure. Not expensive at all (we paid $33 for one night) that's with electric/water hookup.

Someone said there isn’t hiking in Jackson! They’re probably right. We did enjoy a great deal of walking and observing. There is a nominal fee and pretty flat trails. Unfortunately, I did not have an opportunity to check out the museum (we took an alternate entrance) but it was still an enjoyable time outdoors.
