Mississippi Gulf Coast Parks ?

Been snowbirding in AZ for several years, looking to head to the Gulf Coast of Mississippi next winter. Anyone with experience in that area as to parks ???
  • We are currently at Gulf SP in Gulf Shores, Al. a huge favorite with people. Because every site is full hook-up, paved, large and level. All the amenities of a private resort RV park. Long term is allowed with monthly rates. Problem is getting in. You would need to start working on reservations now.
  • MS, AL are good choices. You'll have a great time but it will be colder than AZ. Dec & Jan might be hard to take.
  • Take US 90 and visit Gulfport, Long Beach, Pass Christian and Bay St. Louis. Beaches around here are open - no mass building of condos - fishing piers, pull offs with free parking with plenty of room for a motorhome - explore and find what you like. There is also the Gulf Island National Seashore area around Ocean Springs with nice camping.
  • On your list include Hollywood R V Park
    (and casino) in Bay St Louis MS. Beautiful
    place, big trees well spaced sites. You
    can get a gambler's card (no gambling required)
    and get reduced meal prices. When you leave,
    drive U S 90 along the coast to Biloxi, and
    see the vacant lots left by Katrina, where
    there had been beautiful homes.
    At Biloxi you can take I 110 back to I 10
    to continue east.

    Also consider Gulf Shores AL......MANY
    r v parks.........great area

    P M me for more
  • I've been spending a couple months each Winter at Buccaneer State Park in Waveland, MS for the last couple years. I plan on doing the same next year.

    $480/mo FHU. Short walk to the ocean front. A little farther to the beach. Lots of restaurants and a casino (with a great buffet) nearby. Thanks to hurricanes everything is new. Not the most exciting place in the world but a nice spot to hang out for awhile.

    PM me if you have any specific questions.
