This is a nice place, has public restrooms, wavepool, right across from the beach, nice scenery. If u visit bay st.louis this place is kind of a historic landmark to the locals. After being destroyed by the hurricane and rebuilt this place has always been the place to go.

The park is well kept and sites are nice. It's big rig friendly. No hiking trails and no park amenities are included in your stay or discounted which is kinda a bummer but I get it. The issue is the park rangers park whereever whenever. Mainly at the exit, they just park their truck without thinking hey... Can an RV get past me to leave... Because you can't get past them so twice we've stayed here and had to lay on the horn until someone came to move the ranger trucks. What's frustrating is they're less than 6 feet from open parking spaces dedicated to park rangers! Like why block the exit when you have parking spots at the door.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.
