Right off US Highway 49 in De Soto National Forest, Big Biloxi Recreation Area runs 25 sites across a double-loop configuration, with each site equipped with water and electric hookups. Full hookups with sewer are available, and the campground accommodates RVs up to 60 feet. Reservations are accepted, though at least one reviewer noted going several nights without anyone collecting payment. Nightly rates range from $0 to $40, and a dump station is on site.
The forested layout gives most sites reasonable separation from neighbors, and the tree cover is dense enough that, as Rare E. notes, "most of the campsites have enough trees for hammock camping." A half-mile nature trail runs within the campground, and the wider De Soto trail network is accessible nearby. Four sites are ADA accessible. An on-site host is typically present, though coverage has been inconsistent based on some reviews.
The single bathhouse serves the entire campground and includes flush toilets and hot showers. Cleanliness has been the most frequently mentioned topic in reviews, with opinions ranging from well-maintained to noticeably neglected depending on the visit. Fire rings and picnic tables are standard at each site. Campers report the campground stays relatively quiet, though some distant road noise is audible at night. Pets are welcome, and those planning a trip can also browse dog-friendly camping around De Soto National Forest for nearby alternatives. This campground works well for RV travelers and tent campers who want hookups and forest surroundings without traveling far from the interstate.
