Davis Bayou is an AWESOME CAMPGROUND with great service from the National Parks Service Staff. Ranger Patty is wonderful and so is Park Service Officer Rhonda!!! They run a great park are good people and while the rules are really quite few they do enforce they do enforce them which is a wonderful thing! The camp hosts are usually pretty good as well.Me, my wife and our extended family and friends have been visiting this park several times a year for many consecutive years and it is always a pleasure to camp and enjoy!

There is a saying "Lead by example". All day long in campsite #1 I hear the park employee yelling at people when they are driving wrong way or too fast. Which is fine. But my issue is when the park employee leaves her shift and drives down the street the wrong direction, why is it ok for her? Or when she is rolling into work in the morning in her little red car well over the speed limit.

Patty and Rebecca were awessome.

When we arrived there were storm warnings for the next day. They did a very good job informing the guests where to go and preparing for the possible storm.

Davis Bayou was possibly the quietest campground weve 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
@JillN8557835 · Camped on Mar 7, 2025 at Campsite #26
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.
@MarcG3721143 · Camped on Mar 6, 2025 at Campsite #24
Got there late & very confusing getting to our site in the dark. Left early next morning due to slope of the site & couldnt level. Cancelled reservations online & 2 days laterDavis called concerned they didnt see us & they showed we didnt cancel.

Helpful host and excellent ranger at the campground. The visitor centers ranger knew local history of the forts all along the coastline. I learned some things from him.

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.

I found the sites well designed with ready access to electricity and water at my site and a nice path from the back of my site leading down to the bayou in the back. There wasn't readily available firewood in the campground however, so I had to drive into town and buy it at the nearest grocery store.
@JIMB8977280 · Camped on Mar 1, 2025 at Campsite #21
Very nice but the sites are short. Showers could use some painting.
@GenevaL719FA42 · Camped on Mar 1, 2025 at Campsite #41
I highly recommend camping here. The grounds,bathroom,and showers are kept very clean. The camp host was friendly and accommodating. Great price with power and water.
@SusanL2820892 · Camped on Feb 25, 2025 at Campsite #31
We had a great time. We loved Ranger Patty at the camp office, and Ranger Dan (?) who gave us a Ranger's Tour of the Bayou (Free! Offered every day!). We had a very nice site, quiet and pretty. Bathrooms were clean and toasty - nice showers. Great location! We rode bikes into Ocean Springs almost every day, and along the Bayou and Biloxi Bay. We also drove to Biloxi twice. Would definitely stay here again.
@JoshM4741459 · Camped on Feb 25, 2025 at Campsite #13
The turnaround near site 13 is tight for longer rigs. Sites are the lengths shown. If you cant fit your tow vehicle in the site with tires on pavement, then youre parking in overflow parking. Short walk and you get to go past Ranger Patty!Ranger Patty is the most phenomenal ranger we have met! She knows everyone camping there, she always has treats for the puppers, and takes amazing care of the campground! If you need to find something to do, she has tons of recommendations! Go just for Ranger Patty!
@MaryO8691436 · Camped on Feb 25, 2025 at Campsite #32
It is always a pleasure staying at Davis Bayou Campground. The site is clean. The restrooms are clean. People are friendly.
@JohnZ3B136F2EF · Camped on Feb 24, 2025 at Campsite #34
This is a very beautiful park. The park is very clean, and the host is very friendly. We love this park
@NancyM7309003 · Camped on Feb 23, 2025 at Campsite #50
The campground was very nice, as was the visitor center. The only complaint that I have is that there were very few walking trails, and the trails that they had were walking on the roads. There was not a lot of traffic, and we were 2 adults, so it was not too much of a problem for us.
@RayK6EADE3C54E · Camped on Feb 22, 2025 at Campsite #8
Great little campground. Very quiet and beautiful. Clean bathrooms and showers. The sites were a little too close together in my opinion. But overall a lovely and inexpensive campground that I would revisit when in the area.
@BenjaminVD8AAF · Camped on Feb 17, 2025 at Campsite #39
Site was clean and level. We didn't use any amenities, so can't rate them. Check in was smooth.
@CharlesB214095 · Camped on Feb 16, 2025 at Campsite #15
Very clean and well maintained. Great staff and campground host.
@TeresaT4A09C05 · Camped on Feb 16, 2025 at Campsite #23
Relatively small quiet campground. This is fine with us since we are not looking for flash. Excellent biking opportunities.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
