Why Paul B. Johnson State Park Is a Pine Belt Favorite

Located just south of Hattiesburg on Highway 49, Paul B. Johnson State Park is one of Mississippi's most beloved camping destinations — and it's practically in our backyard. The park sits along a 225-acre lake and offers full-hookup RV sites, tent camping, a swimming beach, fishing piers, canoe and kayak rentals, and miles of walking trails. It's the kind of place where families spend entire weekends without ever needing to leave the grounds.

For RV campers, the full-hookup sites mean you can bring all the comforts of home without sacrificing the outdoor experience. That's where a well-equipped travel trailer or fifth wheel really shines. You get shore power, water, and sewer connections — which means the whole family stays comfortable even during Mississippi's hot summer months. Air conditioning isn't a luxury out here, it's a necessity, and a modern RV gives you that peace of mind from the moment you pull in and level up.

Beyond Paul B. Johnson, our customers regularly explore De Soto National Forest, Bogue Chitto River, and Gulf Coast destinations just an hour south. Having a reliable, comfortable camper opens up the entire region for adventure, not just one campground at a time.

Finding the Right RV for South Mississippi Camping

Not every RV is built for the same kind of trip, and that's exactly why our team in Sumrall takes the time to understand how you camp before making any recommendations. For families heading to Paul B. Johnson for a long weekend, a bunkhouse travel trailer is often the perfect fit. The 2026 Forest River RV 26DBH, priced at $28,995, is a great example — it features bunk beds that kids love, an open living and kitchen area, and enough storage to bring everything from fishing rods to bicycles. It's designed for the way real families actually travel.

If you're shopping on a tighter budget and still want a quality camper, our used inventory is worth a close look. The 2025 Keystone RV 230MBBH at $16,995 and the 2024 Gulf Stream RV 241RB at $16,995 both deliver excellent value for Pine Belt families who want a dependable rig without stretching their finances. Used RVs at this price point are ideal for first-time buyers who want to learn the lifestyle before committing to a larger investment.

For couples or empty nesters who want more space and a more residential feel, a rear-living floorplan like the 2023 Forest River RV 24RLXL at $22,900 offers a comfortable lounge area at the back that feels more like a living room than a camper. It's a smart pick for weekend escapes and extended stays alike.

Travel Trailers and Fifth Wheels Built for Gulf Coast Road Trips

One of the things we hear most from our customers is that they don't just camp at one spot — they roam. A weekend at Paul B. Johnson might turn into a week-long road trip down to Gulf Islands National Seashore or a swing through Louisiana wine country. That's why we stock travel trailers and fifth wheels designed to handle longer hauls without wearing you down.

The 2026 Forest River RV 292TB at $29,995 is a triple-bunk toy hauler-style travel trailer that handles big families and big gear loads with ease. Whether you're towing ATVs for a De Soto Forest run or hauling bikes for a Hattiesburg trail weekend, it gives you flexible space that adapts to your adventure. For a more traditional family layout with smart use of square footage, the 2026 Forest River RV 262DBS at $24,995 offers a double-bunk setup and a full kitchen that makes extended trips genuinely comfortable.

We carry brands including Forest River, Keystone, Gulf Stream, CrossRoads RV, Dutchmen RV, and Coachmen RV — each chosen because they're built tough enough for Mississippi summers and versatile enough for everything from state park hookups to primitive off-grid sites. If you're unsure which floorplan matches your tow vehicle and travel style, our team is happy to walk you through it. Contact our team today and let's find your fit.

Financing Options That Make the RV Lifestyle Accessible

One of the biggest things holding people back from buying an RV isn't interest — it's uncertainty about financing. At Dad's Camper Outlet in Sumrall, we work with customers across a wide range of credit situations and budgets. With RVs starting as low as $7,995 and a full selection of used units under $25,000, there's genuinely something here for nearly every budget.

Our financing team works to get you a monthly payment that makes sense for your household, not just the sticker price. We've helped first-time buyers get into a solid travel trailer for less per month than most people expect, and we've helped growing families upgrade into a larger fifth wheel when their needs changed. The process is straightforward, transparent, and designed to feel nothing like a high-pressure dealership experience — because that's simply not who we are.

Whether you're driving over from Hattiesburg, coming down from Laurel, or making the trip from Petal or Collins, we're easy to reach and always happy to answer questions before you ever set foot on the lot. Our goal is to make sure you leave with an RV you're genuinely excited about — and the confidence to actually use it.
