Davis Bayou Campground

Great location for small and large motorhomes or trailers. Quiet and well run. Nice visit center with a 20 minute informative movie about the area.

This is our favorite campground. We have been camping there at least once a year for the past 8 years. Never have a problem! It’s close to so many wonderful places but when you are at the campground you don’t hear any of the traffic.

This is a primarily RV campground that is clean, strict, well-lit, and organized. If that is what you are looking for, then this is ideal. If you are wanting something more rustic with private slots, night sky, this is not the best choice for that purpose. We were just passing through and brought our small camper and it was perfect for what we needed. All the perimeter spots back up onto the marsh/bayou so we tried to face our chairs in that direction away from campers for our morning coffee so we could feed more secluded. We did bring a truck and it barely fit in the allowable space due to the odd angle. The first day, we had one tire spilled literally an inch into the side of the concrete drive and we were given a warning note from management about keeping tires on the pavement only. Our campsite was 45 and is one of three very small slots, 30 feet total, which is why we had space challenges. We corrected our wheel spillage, but it wasn't an easy parking situation. The best camping slots were 35, 36, and 38 that all three had private picnic tables behind the campers with a much more rustic and secluded feel. Overall it was a great experience. We hiked all the trails and enjoyed the Visitors Center. We rented ebikes from Ocean Springs and traveled the coast, including the Walter Anderson art museum (highly recommend). We drove to the locations for the Sandhill Cranes at the refuge North of Ocean Springs and it was a great experience too. So hopeful these areas stay protected with skilled scientists/researchers, and offices not closed. Once we lose public land or natural resources--getting them back isn't that easy.

The bathhouse needs some serious work. The shower walls are covered in mildew and there is no ventilation. One of the removable show handles was broken and secured to the pole with a zip tie !??? The ladies bathroom had 3 stalls and 1 was missing a door and thus not operable.
Another safety concern is the height of the asphalt pads versus the grade next to them. It was a good 5-6 inches- a hazard for tripping, falling, breaking your ankle which is exactly what happened to the camper next to us... the women fell off the lip and broke her foot.

The staff at Davis Bayou are great, seem to always have a smile and willing to assist when needed. Bathroom’s are always clean. Park is well kept. I’ve camped here a lot and plan to return again and again.

Great campground. Clean spacious and quiet. Our site #16 was level left to right but 6” drop over 27 feet front to back. No problem though. Easy access to Ocean Springs. Check out French Hermit Oysters!
