HELP! I-10 from Pensacola w to NewOrleans

Looking to surprise my wife with our first "out of our comfort zone" trip. Thinking of traveling the Gulf Coast west from Pensacola to New Orleans area. Trying to stay along the beaches. I would like to use "resort" style campgrounds. Looking at traveling from the last week of January thru the middle of February. Need recommendations!
If I can keep her happy on this trip, I can start planning the big one out west. Help!

  • I can agree with aerbus32 re Anchors Away in Foley AL and Majestic Oaks in Biloxi MS. Camp on!

    Just left that area after 10 weeks - much longer than expected because we loved it! Check the reviews for the parks in the area for all the options. We had no problems with availability and try to only stay at the very best parks, but reservations early are a good idea. St. Rosa Sound in Navarre to the west of Pensacola. Both Anchors Away and Gulf State Park in the Foley area. Majestic Oaks in Biloxi. A+ RV to the west of New Orleans. We stayed at all and they were great. Parks in New Orleans get mixed reviews, so we did the occasional day trip from Biloxi. The high point of it all was Honey Island Swamp Tour north of New Orleans.


    Thanks, this is the type of info I was looking for!

  • Meaher State Park in Alabama has new full hook up sites. Looks like a nice park and not too far out of your way. Also Black Water River State Park now has full hookup sites. Just east of Pensacola in Milton.
  • X2 on Hollywood Casino in Bay St Louis MS.
    P M me for other information and for directions.
  • Hollywood Casino in Bay St. Louis MS. has a nice RV park. Newly opened since Katrina. Easy day trip into New Orleans to sight see.
  • I'm considering a similar trip myself, except starting in Panama City.
