Nice campground. Lots to see and do. Fishing pier, boat launch, trails. Make sure you know the correct length of you site as many are short and all vehicles must be on paved pad and not on grass.

Davis Bayou was possibly the quietest campground we’ve ever experienced! Grounds are well kept. All facilities were nice. Bugs were a bit of a bother. But we set up our screen room and were still able to enjoy being outdoors. We enjoyed watching the osprey in the area. Visitors center is beautiful. Campground is located closer to city / neighborhoods than we expected but it was no bother. Definitely recommend if your looking relaxation.

Loved Davis Bayou Campground. So convenient to Ocean Springs, Mississippi.
Friendly camp host and Ranger. Clean restrooms and showers. Would definitely stay here again

We have never heard more obnoxious yelling or felt more unwelcome and under the microscope at a campground in our years of travel. We were in a spot close to the Host/Park Ranger office. The female park ranger would stand outside of her door daily and yell at people to slow down. For Pete's sake, stop yelling! Do you know how annoying that is to the campground residents? Give a citation, a notice, etc., but stop screaming at people like a loud nagging mother!

Some residents would have 3 tires on the pavement and one on the gravel. There is no grass around many of the sites. If there was grass around the sites, I would certainly understand about keeping all vehicle tires on the parking pavement because you wouldn't want to damage the the grass with ruts and other tire damage. But if there is nothing but gravel surrounding the site, the resident is not going to damage any grounds with one tire in the gravel. Citations were rendered by the park rangers for this specific example.

My wife had injured herself and had difficulty walking. She left the site and limped all the way to the overflow parking to get the truck (which is parked on gravel and grass in the overflow, by the way) so she could go run errands while I was gone for the day. She got all the way out by the highway when she realized she had left her phone at the site. She turned around and went back to the site to get her phone, but couldn't bear to walk all the way from the overflow and back. She parked in front of the rig with the intent to go in and get her phone and leave. She had one tire on the gravel. As soon as she got out of the truck to go in and get it, the park ranger yelled from many yards away telling her she couldn't park there with the one tire on the gravel. It was nauseating and upsetting.

The campground itself was well maintained but we can't make ourselves stay there again because of the way they made us feel. Maybe we would park in a different site to avoid such scrutiny.
