Shepard State Park

We paid $14 a night with senior discount. We particularly liked site 12 for the privacy and view of the marsh. We were in site 19 which was nice. Site 21 was also nice. There are several monthly campers.

We liked how well they kept the park. Most the sites are well-spaced. Lots of trails. Staff are really nice. It was quiet except for an occasional train. Great coffee shop close by: Delos.

Take the Eco Tour of the South Mississippi. Captain Kathy was great.

All in all it was a positive experience.

We stayed here for two nights at the end of January / beginning of February in 2022 and were pleasantly surprised by the nice long pull thru site with water and power for $18.00! Also with what all the park has to offer - load of little hiking trails, archery (which we just walked by), a beautiful raised boardwalk over the marsh and a fenced dog park! The dog park was pretty wet, but we were able to throw the ball for our Lab. The trails were all cool and just meandered around. The campground is set up in a figure 8 - the lower loop has more greenery and palmettos. Site 15 in the lower loop was my favorite! Reservations can be made online and they do offer a really low monthly rate. Am uploading a video here on Campendium - a campground info video - might be helpful!

A nice and very reasonably priced place if you're looking for something in the area. I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to stay here, but it's a fine state park. A lot of the major trails were water logged while we were here and by the end of the week, we'd walked most of what we could, but we still enjoyed our stay here. The site was quiet and pretty private. My husband and I both worked using hotspot cell data while we at the park. On Verizon, I had 1.5-3 MB up from our site and 24-34 down. I'm not sure what my husband had with ATT but I believe it was fine for work and video calls.

$18 for partial hookups, dump station and showers with a clean (although old) bathhouse is a good deal.

It’s not the best place we’ve stayed. Our site wasn’t horribly level, but we managed with a few leveling blocks.

We had originally booked site 5 which was a pull through.

They moved us to site 22 because a camper wanted to stay longer in 5.

We didn’t care because we weren’t familiar with the area, but site 22 is a stepped site. The table area is down 3 steps.

Not the end of the world, just stinks when we have a van with flip down tables and such, and can’t use any of it with the picnic table or fire pit.

Ultimately the lady at the office did us dirty 🙃

Spots were clean and the restrooms were clean even though they are definitely old.
Planet fitness has better showers, but these are manageable if in a pinch.

Well spaced heavily wooded sites. Could not see another site from our site. Park has nice dog park as well as archery course, disc golf course. Several very large pull through sites that can accommodate very large rigs. Extremely quiet and private. Monthly rates are $360 for electric and water. Dump station. Tight getting in past old office but then it opens up. Come in from Landier Rd even with weight limit bridge. Low hanging trees and branches gps directions.

Great little campground on way to Texas. Only stayed one night but wish couldva stayed longer. Sites were gravel and level. The girl at check in was so friendly and helpful. Plenty of room between you and neighbor as well. They just completed building a board walk through the grass and swampy area which was a nice way to explore the park.

Easy checkin, and not too many sites that are separated enough where you can see other sites but not hear anyone. Lots of trees and foliage. Was able to work well with my AT&T and Verizon cell signal. Level site, back-in, gravel/dirt, with a huge side area for the firepit and picnic table. Only water and electric, but a dump station on the way out. Very private and peaceful.

Decent sites with pretty good privacy. The showers and bathroom on the Men’s side were recently renovated and were excellent. The Women’s side had yet to be redone and were pretty bad. Not the Parks fault, but there was excessive barking coming from a house in the neighborhood. Verizon coverage was very good, I was getting 30 MBPS download speeds.
