Most of the campground is closed except for about 15 sites due to construction. The park should be open by the end of October. Nice views from most of the sites.

I would said a 5 star but they are revamping the park and there is lot of construction and the only sites are all jam together. The view is amazing and lots of walking areas. Next year it will be a 5 star Park for sure. We still had a great time.

Amazing campground! Convenient to many amenities. Not far from downtown Hattiesburg. Full hookup easy to get into sites. Beautiful lake views from almost every window. Cellphone/hotspot signal was great. Fairly level paved sites. Running water at sites for winter months. Sites long enough to not need to unhook. Only a couple hours away from Jackson, MS. Less than 2 hours to New Orleans. Close to National Park trails. Clean and well maintained. Very peaceful and quiet location. We would stay again. Happy with our choice. ❤️

The site size was adequate and full hookups a plus. Friendly office staff,rangers and fellow campers. Paul B. Johnson nice spots on lake. Sure do not have to be on the water side to enjoy the water view from your site.. Beautiful view one of the best.. Nice picnic areas, splash pad for kids, and boat launches. The little turtles were sure in abundance and enjoy the place. DIffently needs some TLC...Water outlets needed to be replaced knobs missing, fire rings need installed the pits on just on ground, electric boxes need repair,sagging boxes. We did enjoy our say and would diffently return.

Beautiful park and great disc golf courses with a huge lake. The cabins are a bit dated and could use some TLC but I'll definitely come back to stay again.
