Can't say enough about this park. Absolutely gorgeous and very very clean. I can't wait to go back and I highly recommend it. This park spoiled me from the others. Even came with a Lil old car show that weekend. Definitely will be back.

Clean park, reasonable prices, they don't do refunds they do credit vouchers good for any Mississippi state park. 3 on site workers (they live on the property). Office hours 8-5, 7 days a week. Excellent place for a picnic or family outing. 6 rentable pavillions

Love this place. They have really made it beautiful and serene. A little expensive though. It's a little ridiculous that you have to pay for the splash pad if you are camping there.

We decided to go swimming and heard about the beaches at Paul b Johnson. The beach was nice with picnic tables , and plenty of room to relax and enjoy ourselves. The swimming area was also very spacious and clean.
