    Leroy Percy State Park

    This small state park is nice for RV travelers, tenters, and "cabin renters." It is situated a few…read moremiles from historic MS State Highway 61 ("the blues highway" of BB King and Robert Johnson fame) in the Mississippi Delta. It's an easy drive from Vicksburg and there's a big grocery store in town where you can get fresh mustard greens, beer, and deli meats on the way to the park. There was only one other camper in the 10 or so RV pads at one end of the park (on a Friday night!). There are cabins at the other end. The shower house is alright, although like most state parks the water only squirts at the one place you CAN'T stand. One stall is missing a curtain, and the showers can easily be seen from the road through windows so that shower can't be used. There is a small laundry with one washer and one dryer which could use a good sweeping out, but which is also very cheap and convenient to the RV area. This is a quiet park with a 1.3 mile nature hike around a long narrow lake, and lots of alligator habitat. It's a pity these parts of the park don't get more use--after 10 minutes of walking on the nature trail I walked through four spider webs stretched across the trail and so I gave up after only a few tantalizing glimpses of frogs, the lake, and lots of trees. Think: Harry Potter forest, dark and green and secret, with a possible Aragog living in the precise center. There is tons of bird life all over the park. Birders will go nuts with the many varieties of woodpeckers, songbirds, and hummingbirds. The lady clerk is friendly and helpful, and let me call my husband on her phone (there is no cell phone reception in the park, although if you walk out to the highway you can get a signal). The water is the disconcerting color of very weak tea--it is full of minerals, like Loch Ness and the St. Croix River in Wisconsin. It seems to taste fine (after filtering of course). Well worth a quiet weekend visit! MOSQUITO ALERT: Be sure to bring lots of mosquito repellent and long-burning mosquito coils. You won't be able to get in and out of your RV or tent during the evening hours without being eaten alive if you don't have those two items.

    Review of Indian Mounds Campground--by a former longterm resident. Lived here from 2017-2024…read more I came to the Indian Mounds Campground in 2017 after acceptance into a graduate program at Mississippi State. At that time, the campground was run by a different landlord than currently resides and administers the site. Then, a year later, the current landlords, Shelia and her husband, moved into the campground and took over. The change was immediate, and I think it is worth mentioning these past events as a witness to how well they do their job. Firstly, they went to work fixing the dilapidated aesthetic of the park. Gone were the piles of leaves accumulating at each campsite. Repaired were the doors and plumbing and interiors of the onsite bathrooms and showers. Replaced were the shower fixtures, toilets, and sinks. In addition each bathroom and shower was given a space heater for the winter. They dug ditches for drainage along the backside of the campground, and they cleaned up the tent camping site. New gravel was brought in, and they often scraped and re-leveled the roadway. The mail system was rationalized and ordered sensibly. Perhaps most importantly and impressively, they completely revitalized the pond--which was an eyesore when I initially arrived. They got rid of the slime and the algae, built a little dock, and added a gazebo. They have kept the pond clean with a nice little fountain feature and a family of ducks. As an aside, the ducks are hilarious--they waddle around like kings and queens and generally have a grand time. All of these things vastly improved the quality of life at this campsite, and the improvements stand as proof of their care. But they are not all. Indeed, they are constantly present during the year, helping residents deal with freeze warnings and immediately communicating about issues that arise--such as tornado warnings, freeze warnings, losses of power, and losses of internet. Oh, did I mention that they provide you internet, water and power as inclusive in their monthly bill? And that the prices are just unbeatable? At least in my opinion. If you have a camper, and you are contemplating having to move to live and work near Starkville/Mississippi State, then this is the place to go. They do a good job making sure the park is peopled with stolid and reliable residents--mostly students. Things are quiet and safe--even during football weeks when the tailgaters come in. It was just a great place to live. I really can't recommend it enough. Some downsides. The internet is not super fast. Its enough to load webpages and use Youtube, but streaming can be choppy at times. 4G cell service, however, is quite good. I was able to combine their internet with a 4G hotspot on my own service, and I found this perfectly acceptable. Also, the entrance can at times develop a bump--there is a crack in the cement roadway that they have to occasionally refill with gravel. The ducks sometimes sleep in the road, and one will have to get out of the car to shoo them away. They are also very serious about the 5-mph speed limit. (I personally find this a bonus, because it keeps cars from kicking up gravel, but they are serious about it) In summation, Shelia and her husband have created homey environment to park your rig. They keep things in good order always. They are always on site, and communication about issues is prompt. Living at Indian Mounds Campground provides peace of mind in my opinion. I had school and work to worry about--it was a great blessing to never have to worry about my home.

    I called & they fit us in last minute in a nice pull through site at the front of the park for the…read morenight. The price was great! The park was decorated really cute for Fall. The bathrooms & showers were really clean & also decorated cute. They had some beautiful ducks in a small pond with a fountain. The park is close to Mississippi State University, gas, & shopping.
