The Mississippi State Parks team invites families to join us for a fun-filled campout on Friday, May 17, 2024 at LeFleur’s Bluff State Park. Registration is required and ends Friday, May 10, 2024. The event fee is $15 per person.

We will provide four-person tents and sleeping pads, with additional tents available for larger families.

Dinner will feature hot dogs and s’mores cooked over the fire and breakfast casserole prepared in a Dutch oven. Participants will also learn how to set up tents, build fires, and kayak on Mayes Lake.

Participants must bring their own sleeping bags/bedding, chairs, air mattresses (optional), toiletries, and additional snacks. Please contact us in advance with any allergy information or special requests.

The campout will conclude by 9:00 am on Saturday, May 18, 2024.
