Buccaneer State Park is beautiful and located right across the street from the Gulf... It's an amazing place to camp and enjoy the beach and the close proximity to Bay St. Louis.

We’ve camped many time but this last trip ended on a bad note. Our reservations sated we could stay until 4:00. About 12:00 as we were eating our lunch, we got a visit. They told us the check out times were recently changed and that we needed to leave. We complied but no sooner than I reach the exit and stopped to throw my trash away, another camper pulled onto my site. The office’s explanation was they were allowed to “come early”. They actually bumped us off so a guest could come early.

We haven’t stayed at Buccaneer State park for over 8 years. The main reason was 1. They charged you $5 per person to use the pool, 2. They never closed the gates , and there were report of people stealing, . 3 the most Shadey area was Treasure cove, they never keep it maintained , sites were always covered with dirt/ sand leaves . We heard they stopped charging for the pool, so we decided to give it another chance , and we took our grandson. When I checked in I ask the young lady about MILITARY discount which she replied “ we don’t do that here!. Anyway , when you enter the park it looks great especially around the water park, and once you get into the camp ground the grounds start looking un cared for. Especially Treasure cove. We got to our spot, which was cover with dirt and debris and leaves, you could tell the area had not been weed eated in awhile, . The bath house was so HOT you couldn’t go stay in there , the No AC , very dirty . Once we were set up I noticed there was broken glass everywhere around my site and fire pit, I canned the office. They sent a guy down and he was there for over hour picking up the glass, he left and never came , but let his bucket with all the glass in . The Pool on Sunday was ok, the water level was below the skimmers and making a horrible sucking sound, someone finally turned on the fill water. On MONDAY we came back to the pool and it was closed ! I called the office and they said it’s closed on Monday and Tuesday for maintained, yet the water park is open 7 days . The hottest month of the year and the pool is closed for 2 days a week, yet the $21 per person water is open🤷🏼‍♂️. There is no discount for the water park . Well we have decided we are done with Buccaneer State Park- who is more complied to attach water park Guest vice campers

A Waterpark that was not crowded. Best thing about it! It's small and the price matches that. The kids had a great time!

We had made a reservation for 2 nights while passing through Mississippi. We originally had site 28 and it was spacious and easy to get into. The next day it was beautiful and we were able to switch to the waterfront site 230 it was perfect. The office staff was friendly, welcoming and helpful with all our questions. They were also great with our kids. We are making this state park a destination in our future travels.

This is not for "glamping" fans. That being said, there's a water park up front you can pay to go to and a pool within the grounds you can pay to go to when they are open during the summer. If you don't want to pay to do that everyday then you can to ride bikes, play disc golf, go to the playground, or ride up to the beach. Riding bikes through the park is very nice but not very accessible to get to the beach with bikes from the front entrance. This is a park to sit back and enjoy being outside, don't expect to "go do things". P.S. bring bug spray

Hiking trails not maintained, no biking to speak of, and pool closed but they charged summer rates. We don't shop or eat out or gamble. Very disappointing trip, won't be back.

Spent 3 nights here in late March ‘25. Sites on Gulf are expensive but nice. Stayed on site 234.

A Hidden Gem for RV Campers! I recently had the pleasure of camping in my RV at Buccaneer State Park, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed by the friendly staff who were eager to provide great customer service and helpful information about the park. The campground itself is impeccably maintained, with beautiful views of the surrounding nature. I loved waking up to the sounds of birds chirping and the gentle rustle of leaves in the Mississippi breeze. The amenities, including clean restrooms and well-maintained shower facilities, made my stay even more comfortable. One of the highlights of my trip was the easy access to the beach. Just a short golfcart ride from my campsite, I was able to spend my days soaking up the sun, collecting seashells, and enjoying the calming sound of the waves. The park also offers fantastic recreational opportunities, like fishing, hiking, and biking trails that allow you to immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the area. I particularly enjoyed the well-marked trails that meander through the lush forests and marshlands, providing a perfect backdrop for wildlife watching. At night, the park transformed into a stargazer’s haven. With minimal light pollution, I was able to enjoy views of the night sky. There’s nothing quite like roasting marshmallows over a campfire while gazing at the stars with family and friends! Overall, my RV camping experience at Buccaneer State Park was nothing short of amazing. If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway with plenty of activities and natural beauty, I highly recommend this gem in Mississippi. I can’t wait to return for another adventure!
