Enjoying a Camping Trip in Gulfport, Mississippi

Gulfport, Mississippi has a great reputation as a tourist destination for people from all over the country as well as from all over the world. There are a number of truly great and luxurious hotels and resorts in the area but what if you are camping kind of family, the kind who prefer cooking over an open outdoor fire pit rather than eating out of a hotel room microwave? What does the Gulfport, MS area have to offer you? The answer is far more than you might imagine.

Where you choose to pitch your tent however will depend on how much of a camper you really are. There are those who really love to rough it. They enjoy a campsite that is truly away from it all. No TV, no running water, no bathrooms and the only source of heat coming from the previously mentioned outdoor fire pit. Their idea of an ideal camping trip truly does involve getting away from it all.

For these hardier souls the Gulfport, MS area has a number of formal campsites to offer. The Moody’s Landing site, which is just five miles from Brooklyn, MS, is such a site. it offers amazing views and an abundance of land but little in the way of other amenities.

But some campers want a few more of the comforts of home available at the campsite that they choose. The idea of living without electricity or a nice hot shower is not at all appealing to them even though sleeping under the stars is.

Fortunately for everyone many of the campsites in the Gulfport, Missisipi area offer the best of both worlds. For example the Gulf Islands National Seashore offers both wilderness camping along the Davis Bayou and campsites further inland that feature all the conveniences of modern life including formal playgrounds, shower rooms and on site restaurants.
