We arrived at the campground around 2pm. The park was more than half filled, but we found a nice site that was long enough for our trailer. We watched more camping units pull in, and soon the park was filled.... except for a very short site across from ours. It would be perfect for a Class B, pop-up, or tent campers.

We went into town and had dinner at Aunt Jenny's Catfish restaurant. One of our favorites when we lived in nearby Gulfport.

Thanks for the report and pics. May be a place DW and I will have to visit one of these years.

Thanks for the pics, look really nice.

The campground host said that when the snowbirds are down here, the park stays full. Even though there is a 14 day length of stay limit, and a 30 day per year limit, the snowbirds like to stay here awhile and move on. Can't beat the price.
