Mississippi new State Park Reservation System???

[cobia6620]

Wife and I are full timers in a Tiffin and spend 8-9 months in Mississippi state parks staying 1 or 2 months at each park. Historically many parks have a monthly stay policy for $430.00 but March 1 this year a new system kicked and campgrounds are charging full price, $28.00/night, and you can only reserve 13 months in advance vs the old 24 months.
Has anyone mastered this new system? It replaces Reserve America
We are set for 2023 but are making 2024 plans. It seems the campground office personnel are still learning the new system and a great deal of confusion exists
anyone tried using this new system?

We are also considering COE campgrounds but the reservation window is limited to 6 months but the price can't be beat

If I recall correctly the COE parks have a maximum 14 day stay limit. If you wish to stay for extended periods in state or federal campgrounds why not volunteer to be campground hosts? I don't believe the state and federal campgrounds are set up for extended stay visitors.

Looks like they're doubling the price to restrict long-term camping to let vacationers use the parks, also.

I agree.... volunteer in the parks if you want to stay long-term.

have obtained camp host application form for Mississippi state parks and will also find one for COE
we are also looking at buying a lot in northern Miss suitable for an RV
