      Lakeview RV Resort

      Standard RV Parking Lot w/ [Of Course] Lake View!

      Despite the appearance of an unglorified RV parking lot with basically zero privacy and not much space in between the individual RV’s, this spot is a decent stopover if you need to pull your mobile living room over for a short spell. Lakeview RV Resort has more than 100 individual parking lanes for residents and I found the community to be inviting and friendly  there’s even some social gatherings poolside (very nice feature) each night around sundown. 

      Of course, the gem of this place is the 16 acre lake, which I was able to get my kayak into for a few quick handful of laps early in the morning. If you’re driving an RV or hauling a camper behind your SUV, then this concrete camping parking lot just off of Highway 15 (due north of Interstate 10) near Saucier may just be the perfect spot for you. But if you’re a diehard tent camper like I am, you’ll be out of luck. 

      With ample slanted and elongated parking lanes for your parking pleasure, all of the sites come equipped with the typical 30 / 50 amp electrical hook-ups, waste disposal and water connections, picnic tables, garbage receptacles and even a community BBQ. Additionally, they’ve got a small boat launch, cement / asphalt pads, internet, laundr-O-mat, pavilion for large group events and propane for sale. The restrooms were pretty decent (but could use a serious power spraying).  You’ll discover that both RV’s as well as even a handful of cabins / cottages comingle here, but basically, this is a site designed for and around RV’s.

      Insider’s Tip? Near this RV parking lot, you do have access to all of the nightlife and entertainment you would expect to find in nearby Biloxi, and of course, there’s the world-famous Gulf Shores beachheads that are just a short drive to. I’m a diehard foodie, so after a few days of cooking campside, I like to head into town for a nice local meal. There’s 2 great places I could recommend, right off RT. 10, due south of Lakeview RV Resort– either Puff Belly’s Brewery, Pizza& Grill(great live review here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b55Vs2hnJk4&t=7s) or Fried Green Tomato, which lives up to its reputation as the Best Fried Green Tomatoes in the South(https://www.tasteofthesouthmagazine.com/souths-best-fried-green-tomatoes/). 

      Overall, for the price, convenience and location, Lakeview RV Resort isn’t a bad spot for a night to take a break. 

      Happy Camping!

      Davis Bayou Campground — Gulf Islands National Seashore

      Quaint and Beautiful

      It was great to visit this hidden gem again and I was pleasantly surprised at what great shape it was in following Hurricane Irma and other tropical storms last year. We visited in late November/early December so the bugs weren't too bad at all. We did experience an incredible line of thunderstorms but managed to get some exploring in before the weather moved in.

      There are only a few sites here and they are quite small, perfect for small RVs, tents or sleeping in your car. Large oaks and other vegetation provide ample shade for the cooler fall months. Our two four legged fellas enjoyed the flat open grass/dirt area around the campsite and were able to be on their leads without wandering too far in to the thick brush on the edge of the site.

      There's a small picnic table that can be moved quite easily as well as well maintained fire rings at each site. There is fresh water available and electric hookups at each site. The bathrooms are clean, as are the showers. The ranger at the entrance station was friendly and chatty. From the campground you can walk along the road (back toward the Visitor's Center) a ways and the duck into the woods or jump on the boardwalk. Keep your eyes peeled, there are some impressive alligators hanging around.

      Buccaneer State Park Campground

      Beach front camping

      My husband and I stayed at Buccaneer at one of their beachfront spots. This was our first time at Buccaneer and we will definitely be back!

      First off, the park has some serious amenities! Their bathhouses are new and very nice, they have a pool and laundromat, frisbee golf course, nature trail, a small beach, and a small water park! The pool and water park weren’t open yet, but they looked really nice.

      They have a few different sections of the park. The beach front camping sites are on grass with electric and water. There weren’t any grills, fire rings, or picnic tables; but it was really nice.

      We looked through the other camp grounds and they have good tree coverage, picnic tables, grills, and full hookups. Some of the spots had really nice fire rings that were recessed into the ground. We will definitely be back to try one of those spots!

      I will say that the bugs were crazy bad at the beach in the morning and at dusk. Evidently they are worse this year, so just come prepared!

      Overall this was a nice, newer park and we loved our stay. The area had plenty to do and the views were next level.

      Davis Bayou Campground — Gulf Islands National Seashore

      Good for the Price

      We paid $22 for a site with power and water here. There is a dump station but it's right in the middle of the campground near the bathhouse, kind of an awkward location.

      This was a quick overnight for us, and we didn't spend much time outside because it was pretty muggy and buggy when we stayed here at the end of February. Also, sites are paved, but ours anyway had a pretty steep dropoff to the picnic table and fire pit so the site was just an awkward feeling spot.

      Sites are kind of run down but for the price we were happy.

      Free hot showers. No laundry machines.

      Overall a good place if you need to dump/fill/shower, but not a place I'd come to as a destination.

      Primitive camping area - Flint Creek Reservior

      This place is enormous.

      I only stayed at the primitive camping area, but passed though 2 miles of campgrounds to get there. All sorts of cabins and different levels of glamping areas. $15 to primitive tent camp gets you a picnic table, a port-a-potty, and a nearby water spigot. Access to the reservoir, lots of trees. A pretty nice place.

      Davis Bayou Campground — Gulf Islands National Seashore

      Gem on the Mississippi Gulf Coast

      We really enjoyed our stay at Davis Bayou. The campground seems to be a bit dated, but we kinda enjoyed the nostalgic element this added to the vibe.

      The sites vary in size, we noticed most big rigs had to park their tow vehicles or toads in the auxiliary parking. If this is a problem you may want to look at other options, as the park staff is very diligent about keeping folks off the grass.

      The park staff did regular patrols though out the park. They were very friendly.

      We enjoyed riding our bikes around the park and to the historic arts district in Ocean Springs. There are several restaurants and bars with live music which was fun. There are also alot of art studios to check out.

      We also took our canoe all though out Davis Bayou and to the beach, which was a ton of fun. The tides are in play here, so make sure you study up as conditions can and do change rapidly.

      The visitors center is definitely worth checking out and while your there make sure to check out the fishing pier.

      Each site has a picnic table, fire ring, power and water.

      The cost is $22 a night per site.

      The bathhouses were cleaned regular and had great water pressure. The water has a bit of a smell to it.

      Verizon cell service worked okay.

      Bring bug spray.

      Davis Bayou Campground — Gulf Islands National Seashore

      Hidden Gem

      One of south Mississippi's best kept secrets. This is a small campground located in the National Seashore within the city limits of Ocean Springs. The diverse ecosystem of the Bayou is fascinating and chances are very high you'll be able to see at least one large gator while you tour this park. (No worries, they're not near the campsites). The campground itself has 50 reservable sites, all with 30/50 amp electric and water. Fire rings and picnic tables are at each site also. Most are well shaded and far enough apart to be comfortable. Terrific bath house and convenient dump station. Ranger programs are offered through the visitors center which is a must see. The 20 minute video about the park's history and importance is well worth your time. Make sure to save time to tour the downtown area of Ocean Springs. It's one of the USA's top rated seaside communities.

      Buccaneer State Park Campground

      Great for families in the summer

      When we took our kids camping when they were young, they were lucky if there was a small playground at the state parks where we camped; they would have loved this place which is exactly why we wouldn’t come near here during the summer months! (Funny how our perspective has changed now that our kids are grown!) For families, this could be a reasonably priced getaway: camping, playground, disc golf, pool, and waterpark - all in one place. Note, however, that there is an additional charge for both the pool and the waterpark. 

      This is a very large campground with 276 sites. I’m not sure if we lucked out (or if I was advised by another reviewer) but we reserved in the Treasure Cove loop, farthest from the entrance. This loop appeared to be the only one with relative privacy/separation between the sites. All the others looked like they had RVs stacked up on top of each other. Sites include a bbq, fire pit, and picnic table. There is also a “premium” section by the waterpark overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. These are right on the road, but the road did not seem to be heavily trafficked (this might be different in the summer months). The cost for these sites is higher and they are not reservable. Beware that some of these sites are on pavement with no separation (and no view of the Gulf), while others are on the grassy area with a view of the Gulf. Since they are not reservable, you would be able to select one to your liking. There is, however, zero shade in these sites and there are no tables or grills and they may be unavailable during certain times of the year. There is also a primitive loop and it is exactly that. No restrooms or other facilities (although you could walk to one of the other loops) and no visible delineation of sites. 

      The bathrooms are reasonable. We drove past miles and miles of white sandy beach before reaching this campground, so I was eagerly looking forward to a long walk on the beach but near the campground, I was disappointed that there was no beach; the water came right up to the road (although there was a concrete sidewalk of sorts). I am not sure if this is because of hurricane erosion or by design. 

      Because we were not here with kids in the summer to enjoy the waterpark, there was not much for us to do so we were happy we had only reserved one night here.

    Guide to Gulfport

    Cabin camping near Gulfport, Mississippi provides access to the Gulf Coast's natural areas with average summer temperatures reaching 91°F and high humidity levels throughout the region. Most cabin accommodations are located within a 30-mile radius of Gulfport, with options ranging from coastal settings to pine forest retreats. The camping season extends year-round, though winter nights can drop to the low 40s.

    What to do

    Water activities at Buccaneer State Park: Located in Waveland, the park features a wave pool, water slides, and swimming pool during summer months. The park sits directly across from the Gulf beaches. "This park is well maintained and in a great location. Waveland and Bay St Louis have lots of waterfront bars & eateries and there's a casino nearby," notes David J. about Buccaneer State Park Campground.

    Wildlife viewing at Davis Bayou: The campground offers nature trails and opportunities to see local wildlife. "There's plenty of walking trails, and you can check out the gator alley area where you'll typically see at least one gator. There are plenty of pavilions around that you can rent for larger events," shares Kaylin R. about Davis Bayou Campground.

    Fishing access at Flint Creek Waterpark: The park provides multiple boat launches and shoreline fishing opportunities. "Site 141 was in a very wooded area at the far end of all three RV areas. Had a beautiful view of the water where you could fish," reports Johnnie S., adding that the spot was "quiet and peaceful" with "no road noise" during their December stay.

    What campers like

    Proximity to beaches: Many cabin sites allow for quick access to Gulf beaches. "We camped in the group campsite. The bathrooms were a short walk away but were very clean & nice. There were plenty of trails, fishing areas & lots to explore and see," writes Kimsey C. about Davis Bayou Campground.

    Well-maintained facilities: Campgrounds regularly update their cabin amenities. "The back of the site backs up to the lake, with plenty of beach to fish or hangout. This site would be perfect during the summer if you wanted to swim. The site had full hookups with 50amp connection," explains Johnnie S. about Flint Creek Waterpark.

    Shade coverage: Most cabin sites feature tree coverage for protection from summer heat. "Lots of shade and trees. Bring bug spray. The beaches are nice for campers," advises Kyliea Walker W. about Flint Creek Waterpark.

    What you should know

    Seasonal operations: Water amenities typically operate from late spring through early fall. "Certainly more expensive than any state park we have stayed in - especially when the season has ended and the pool & water park are shut down," notes David J. about Buccaneer State Park.

    Noise factors: Some campgrounds experience noise from transportation routes. "There is a railroad nearby and it is quite loud in the evening. There was no issue for us as we are accustomed to train noises," shares Joseph S. about Davis Bayou Campground.

    Reservation windows: Most cabin accommodations require advance booking, particularly for waterfront locations. "This is a popular park during the winter months as it is a National Park. Reserve early. No wifi, no laundry but clean bathrooms and shower," recommends Doug D. about Majestic Oaks RV Resort.

    Tips for camping with families

    Halloween festivities: October camping features special activities for children. "We stayed here during Halloween and it was pretty crowded. We prefer more secluded camping sites, and this campground provides plenty of space despite being so packed. There were several RV campgrounds that had decorations and trick-or-treating," reports Hannah L. about Flint Creek Waterpark.

    Water park access: Buccaneer State Park offers family-friendly water recreation. "Extra cost for wavepool and slides up front and pool. Lots of trees and shade, paved roads for kids to ride bikes, large playground area, some short hiking trails," explains Nicole R.

    Pet policies vary: Some cabin rentals accommodate family pets. "Pitbull friendly they didn't bay an eye. Great staff super clean place. Friendly people," notes Nicholas B. about Mazalea Travel Park.

    Tips from RVers

    Level site considerations: Many cabin sites share parking areas with RV camping. "The only issue I had with the spots were they were all uneven, but somehow I was able to level my 37' travel trailer on the first try without any leveling aids," mentions Johnnie S. about Flint Creek Waterpark.

    Extended stay options: Several parks accommodate longer-term visitors. "Amazing staff, clean, big showers, heated pool year round, plenty of washers and driers for 24/7 laundry days, gated community, plenty of space, has its own dog park," shares Sam G. about Majestic Oaks RV Resort.

    Utility hookups: Most cabin camping areas offer electrical connections. "This is a nice little park. Not fancy, but friendly and quiet. The office people were really nice and very accommodating. Has a small pool, showers/restrooms, and laundry," writes Susan R. about Parkers Landing RV Park.
