Cabin rentals around Jay feature comfortable accommodations with varying amenities. Under the Hoof offers a fully stocked cabin on a working farm with private bathroom facilities and electric hookups. Bluff Springs Campground provides rustic cabin options on over 500 acres with access to two man-made lakes. Most cabin sites include picnic tables, fire rings, and access to showers and toilet facilities. Adventures Unlimited offers cabins along with outdoor recreation opportunities for families. "Merle and Russ treated us like family, and have stayed friends ever since. They stocked the cabin with all kinds of extra touches and even left us some wine to enjoy after our long trip," noted one visitor to Under the Hoof.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Milton-Gulf Pines KOA provides camping cabins with convenient highway access, though some visitors note highway noise can be noticeable. Mystic Springs Recreation Area offers a more remote cabin experience with water views and covered structures to protect from weather. Pet policies vary by location – some properties like Under the Hoof don't allow pets, while others welcome them. According to one visitor, Bluff Springs Campground provides "a secluded peaceful place to unplug from the fast-paced world and reconnect with nature."

GuideThe park has a great atmosphere. The sites may be close, but no one invades another persons site and most of the people that live here work. Because it doesn’t offer much in the way of all the bells and whistles, most people would avoid it, which suits me just fine!
TravelerWe paid for the private deck overlooking the water and would do it again in a heartbeat. We didn't have to travel far and we're used to Gulf Coast views, but we couldn't be happier with our choice of campgrounds. Premium spots are a little tight if your neighbors have slides, but the deck makes up for it.
ScoutWell-maintained small RV park with 6 sites. We were all alone so we were able to get the only site with full shade all day. Pay in drop box by the mailboxes. First come first served.
ScoutMy family has been coming for 14 years and my kids grew up fishing crabing and swim
ScoutI rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was incredibly disappointing. I reserved a specific campsite many months in advance for my birthday. Before arriving, I even received an email confirming that exact site. When I checked in, I was told they had given my reserved site to someone else and moved me to a different spot. The whole reason I booked so far in advance was to secure that particular location, so this completely defeated the purpose of planning ahead. What made the situation even worse was how it was handled. The manager never apologized or acknowledged the mistake. Instead, I was met with an attitude that made it seem like my frustration wasn’t justified. A sincere apology and some accountability would have gone a long way. To“make it right,” they offered a 20% discount, which honestly felt insulting given that they failed to honor a confirmed reservation on a special occasion. It wasn’t about the money—it was about keeping their commitment and treating customers with respect when they make a mistake. Unfortunately, what should have been a memorable birthday started with disappointment because of the park’s poor reservation management and lack of customer service. I hope they improve their processes and, more importantly, learn how to take responsibility when they let their guests down.
ScoutGreat campground, quick walk to the quiet beach, good bathrooms and laundry facilities
TravelerWe recently stayed at Splash RV Resort at site 83 and had a great experience overall. Our site was excellent, featuring a decent little yard, and it was almost perfectly level—only about a half-inch off from left to right across the width of our camper. There was also plenty of room to park our F-450 right in front. The resort's location is perfect for day trips to the nearby beaches, and the roads inside the park are great with very easy access from the highway. (Note: There isn't much shopping nearby besides a Dollar General, so come prepared!) The facilities here are absolutely amazing. The bathhouses and laundry rooms are honestly resort-quality. We also ordered the cinnamon rolls a day in advance, and they were incredible. The resort app works flawlessly—we used it to request a propane refill, a fire pit, and firewood, and the service was incredibly fast every time. Almost all of the employees were super awesome and friendly. The only negative interaction we had was with the older lady working at the camp store. She constantly hounded us multiple times about not wearing our wristbands. Given that the resort has a gate code, gated security, and guest lists, the aggressive monitoring felt like overkill—especially since I personally cannot sleep with things on my wrists. To make this place a true 10/10, I have a few suggestions for management: 1 The Pizza: While the other poolside food was surprisingly good, the pizza was a letdown. It was a typical frozen, "waterpark-style" reheated pizza that cost $20. For that price point, the resort should definitely choose a higher-quality option. 2 Pool Sun Shades: Currently, the sun shades are over the shallow section of the adults-only pool. These really should be moved over the children’s section (at least on one side). Kids are much more sensitive to the sun and it’s always a struggle to get them out of the water to reapply sunscreen. 3 The Fitness Center: It was pretty pathetic and could definitely use a functional trainer or better equipment to match the quality of the rest of the resort. Overall, it’s a beautiful place to stay with top-tier amenities, and we would definitely come back!
TravelerWonderful quiet spot, great for tent camping, a lot of shade!
ScoutI stayed at this campground because of a project that I was working. It is a nice little campground. It has two swimming pools, tennis courts, clean restrooms and a friendly staff.
