The state of Mississippi has twenty-four state parks for residents and visitors to enjoy. Each one is lovely in its own way.

Each and every one of them has a lake, river, or other body of water so visitors can enjoy boating and fishing, and hiking trails for people who enjoy exploring the natural world on foot.

Almost all of Mississippi’s state parks offer campgrounds. They encourage people to spend the night in the great outdoors. For those who do not enjoy tent or recreational vehicle camping, most parks offer cabins and lodges as indoor accommodations options.

These six lodging options are lovely. After reading this post, you’ll likely want to book all of them in the near future!

There's nothing quite like a getaway out into nature. Mississippi has so much to offer when it comes to the great outdoors.

Wall Doxey State Park is located in the northwestern part of Mississippi; it's only forty miles from Memphis and only seven miles from quaint Holly Springs. The cabins and cottage here are quite charming. They are air-conditioned and most have screened-in porches and views of the sixty-acre lake that is a part of this park. Each cabin sleeps four to seven people.

Tombigbee State Park is just south of Tupelo, the birthplace of Elvis Presley. This park has seven air-conditioned cabins and one vacation cottage for vacationers to rent. All are stocked with basic cooking equipment for visitors to use.

J. P. Coleman State Park is in the northeastern corner of the state and is situated on the shores of the Tennessee River and Pickwick Lake. In addition to beautiful cabins and cottages, this park has a motel on site which includes three townhouse-style accommodations and sixteen standard motel rooms.

South of Hattiesburg on Geiger Lake you'll find Paul B. Johnson State Park. This woodsy park is popular with families because of its easy trails and splash pad for warm days. Sixteen fully equipped cabins with kitchens, heat, air-conditioning, televisions, and more are perfect for a short or long trip. Most even come with dock space for your boat.

Roosevelt State Park is east of Jackson. All fifteen cabins in this park have a great view of Shadow Lake, and each has a screened-in porch for you to enjoy it from. Roosevelt State Park also has a twenty-room motel with great views also.

You don't have to sleep in a tent to enjoy the Mississippi State Parks overnight. These cabins, cottages, and motels will provide you with comfort while you enjoy the beauty.

Mississippi is beautiful and one of the best ways to experience its natural beauty is through visits to Mississippi State Parks. These lodges will give you a chance to really spend some serious time in one or more of these parks. However, all of the above accommodations book up quickly – some over a year in advance. You can book these cabins, cottages, and motels up to two years in advance of your trip; planning ahead is always wise.
