About
Percy Quin State Park is a 1,700-acre recreation area surrounding 490-acre Lake Tangipahoa in southern Mississippi, originally constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s. The park features 102 paved, full-hookup RV campsites with picnic tables and grills, including 20 premium lakefront sites. All RV sites provide 50/30/20 amp electrical service, water, and sewer connections. For tent campers, 50 primitive sites are available, including innovative premium primitive tent platforms that are elevated 16ft x 10ft wooden structures keeping campers off the ground. Four modern bathhouses with hot showers serve the campground area. Beyond camping, the park offers extensive recreational facilities including an 18-hole championship golf course, boat launch and 36-slip marina on Lake Tangipahoa, tennis courts, picnic pavilions, playgrounds, nature trails, and a convention center. A swimming pool is available to overnight guests from Memorial Day to Labor Day. The park also features 27 vacation cabins, cottages, motel rooms, and a group camp facility.
