Mississippi State Parks Earn National Honors
Mississippi’s State Parks are more than just good, they are award-winning.
Reserve America recently released its list of it “Top 100 Campground Awards” and Mississippi State Parks were well represented.
More than 4,000 parks and campgrounds nation-wide were reviewed and five of Mississippi’s Parks made the Top 100. John W. Kyle (Sardis), Lake Lincoln (Wesson), Percy Quinn (McComb), Tishomingo (Tishomingo) and Trace (Belden) State Parks earned high marks to make the Top 100. Along with the Top 100 list, several Mississippi State Parks won other awards in specific categories. Below is a list of the 2009 Reserve America Awards received by Mississippi’s State Parks.
