Lake Perry Campground

You can’t reserve ahead of time. I had to call the number provided, several times before cell service connected with the phones owner, left a voicemail, and he called me back later that day. I confirmed vacancy with him. Great little quiet camping area on a lake. All sites are well shaded. Bathroom / shower facilities are average or slightly below. Clean, but nothing special. T-Mobile cell service was 1-2 bars. Good place to stay for a few quiet nights. Trailer pads are quite small. I wouldn’t recommend any big rigs.

No reservations are available as far as I know. It is a very tight campground. The sites most have very small concrete pads that have sharp drops on edges and the campground is on a hill. There are 15 sites with 30 amp and water. We managed to get #13 at top of hill that does not have a pad, which is actually a plus. It took a u-turn at top loop at dump site and some jockeying to get our 28' toy hauler with one ton truck backed in. I was glad I did not have to try one of the other sites as I could not have used the back ramp to unload, due to uneven ground. The manager is a helpful sort of fellow.
The electric is marginal and I noticed at our end of camp the voltage would go as low as 107 volts. The summer time would be a problem with others using AC. We were warned by another guest that the dump would overflow and he was right. So, that is a definite problem that should be addressed.
There is nice fishing here in the small lake and it is quite pretty. A short nature trail describes some of the local trees. I came here and rode the trails in nearby DeSoto National Forest. This is near Camp Shelby and we heard a lot of far off artillary fire. Good to know our soldiers are prepared.

Got here on a Tuesday nite no one else here. Staying 1 nite $15 a nite senior rate. Road a little rough coming in, would be tight for a 5iver or MH. Got site 2 only 1 near the water. Pads at all sites mostly for smaller trailers our 23 ft fit fine.

We were only ones here picked site 2 right by the water. Honor system leave money in envelope by bathroom drop box. Road in paved (barely) rough pot holes. Verizon 2 bars w/booster very quiet

The lake appeals almost entirely to fishers, since there’s no swimming. We did see an alligator in the water when we first arrived, so I can see why!

The road is paved the whole way, and there’s level parking. Each lot has water, a garbage bin, and an electric outlet. There’s also a dump station and a nature trail.

There was a lot of noise when we were there - a local military base was messing around with artillery, but it sounded more like thunder and didn’t bother us too much.

The groundskeeper whips around on a tractor or a golf cart, and this was kind of obnoxious, but he’s a very friendly man! There were only two other campers when we stayed, and about 12 available spaces.
