The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks (MDWFP) celebrated the grand re-opening of Clarkco State Park in Quitman, Mississippi, with a special event on March 19, 2026. The day began with a morning social, followed by a special program with remarks from Mississippi Representative Troy Smith. Guests then had the opportunity to tour the newly renovated campground and cabins.
“The renovations at Clarkco State Park mark an important milestone for our agency,” said Lynn Posey, MDWFP Executive Director. “We are proud to welcome visitors back to experience the park’s historic significance while also enjoying its modernized amenities.”
Clarkco State Park now features 43 newly updated campsites for RV camping along with a renovated lodge and bathhouse. Each RV campsite offers full hookups including water, electricity, and sewer, as well as a picnic table and grill. These new amenities make Clarkco State Park the ideal destination for RV campers to enjoy Mississippi’s great outdoors.
