LeFleur's Bluff provides a lush green spot in the heart of urban Jackson. In addition to camping, fishing, picnic spots, and nature trails, the 305-acre park features a nine-hole golf course and a driving range. The park is named for Louis LeFleur, a French-Canadian explorer who established a trading post on the banks of the Pearl River in the late 1700s. The City of Jackson was originally known as "LeFleur's Bluff." Today Mississippi's vibrant capital city combines the warmth and charm of its rich cultural heritage with exciting activities and attractions and contemporary lifestyles. Visitors to Jackson discover a diversity of museums, unlimited shopping and dining, and a calendar of events packed with activities to suit every mood.
The 28 sites available for tent and RV camping are equipped with water and electrical hook-ups. The developed camping area also features a central sewage dumping station and a bathhouse with hot showers. All campsites are available for advanced reservations. Smoking is not allowed in any Mississippi government building.
Ten shaded primitive tent sites located near the lake and within walking distance to water and showers are available. This area is ideal for scout groups.
Take Exit 98B off Interstate 55 at Lakeland Drive and turn North/East. For Mississippi Natural Science Museum/Children's Museum/Kids Zone, day use, and Lefleurs Office turn right at first light. For Mayes Lake Campground and Pavilions turn right at second light by Shell/Sprint Mart. Entrance to Golf Course is between the lights.
Nice hidden gem in the middle of the city. Plenty of walking to do and apparently fishing although I didn't fish. Most RV spots have concrete pads with water and electric. There is a sewage dump site on the way out.
Here just for an overnight. Was very warm about 100° when we arrived. Dog friendly. Didn’t explore much due to high temps but we stayed in site 16. Nice big flat site. Would come back in the fall or cooler temps to explore more.
This is a quiet and peaceful place hidden in the middle of a busy city. Many locals are not aware of its existence. If you want a taste of the country while living in a metropolitan area, this is for you. You can fish, barbecue, or just enjoy the nice scenery.
Not an elegant fancy place but a wonderful oasis near tge city of Jackson MS. Nice level sites with electricity and water. Hot water in the free showers!! And a cute little lake
Friendly staff. Easy to back into sites. Level concrete pads. Beautiful views of the lake. I have yet to see the alligator 😩 but the bathrooms are clean and there are multiple woodpeckers around the site.
