Mississippi State Park Near Durant — 28 Campsites, Cabin Rentals, Two Fishing Lakes, Disc Golf, Playground, Currently Closed for Renovations Since 2020, Mississippi Department of Wildlife Fisheries and Parks, Holmes County South of Durant Mississippi
Holmes County State Park is a state park located approximately 4 miles south of Durant in Holmes County, Mississippi, managed by the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks (MDWFP). The park historically features 28 developed campsites with water and electric hookups, cabin rentals for indoor lodging, two fishing lakes stocked with bass and bream, a disc golf course, a playground and picnic areas, hiking trails through rolling pine and hardwood forests, and a quiet rural setting in the heart of the Mississippi Delta transition zone.
Holmes County State Park has been a quiet retreat for Mississippi anglers and campers since its development by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in the 1930s. The park’s two lakes are stocked with largemouth bass and bream, and the rolling terrain of pine and hardwood forest provides a scenic contrast to the flat Delta lowlands just to the west.
The CCC-era construction is still visible in the park’s stone and timber structures, giving it a historic character typical of Depression-era state parks across the South.
