Located within 1.5 hours of Jackson and Baton Rouge, and less than 2 hours from Hattiesburg and New Orleans, Percy Quin State Park offers 1700 acres to explore and a serene lake where campers can fish, boat and waterski. It is also known for Quail Hollow, its 18-hole championship golf course. Loblolly pines, stately magnolia trees, rolling hills and a year-round mild climate await park visitors.
Campers looking for some exercise can explore the 4-mile nature trail and McComb is also just a few miles away and has wonderful restaurants to enjoy. Other recreation amenities include 5-lighted tennis courts, an Olympic-sized swimming pool, a playground and a boat launch. The marina at Lake Tangipahoa sells supplies for anglers and boaters. Fishing is a popular activity at the lake and a modern fish cleaning station with filet boards is provided. Largemouth bass, crappie, breem, redear sunfish and channel catfish are stocked regularly.
Tentrrs' Southside drive-in campsites at Percy Quin are located approximately 2 miles from the park entrance and are easy to access for families with young children or campers with limited mobility. You will be parking in a parking lot approximately 50 ft from your campsite.
Southside Lakeview I is a shaded site with a lake view. Your campsite features a 10 x 12 platform tent with a queen bed as well as a pop-up tent that can accommodate 4 additional campers. A picnic table, firepit and two Adirondack chairs are also included. Campers will have access to modern bathhouses for showers and restroom facilities. And, if the temperatures dips, you can keep warm with the propane heater inside the main platform tent.
