Buccaneer State Park

This weekend we stayed at Buccaneer State Park in Waveland, MS.   We were in site #95 in the Blackbeard Loop.  The loop was small and our spot was a little tricky to get into but we had plenty of room once we got the camper situated.  The site had full hook up, including sewer, a BBQ pit, and picnic table.  There was no fire pit but there was a spot where people had been burning so that's what we used.  The sites in our loop weren't to close together but they have some in other loops that are pretty close.  The one right across from us (94) would be another good one, much easier to back into and has some shade but hardly any grass.

Although the pool and water park were closed we still had lots of stuff to do.  They have a disc golf course that the boys really liked, a pretty good sized playground, and some hiking trails.  They also have an arcade, laundry and camp store by the pool area (none of this was open while we were there).  The bath houses were in decent shape, pretty old but seemed to be well maintained.  They don't have anyone at the gate house 24/7.  We had someone playing extremely loud music our first night there.  At about 11pm we tried calling the park to have someone ride over and speak to them but kept getting a busy signal every time.  Finally had to go ask if they could turn it down a bit, which they did.  Quiet time is from 10pm-6am.

There is also lots of stuff to do around the area.  Saturday we went to the beach for a bit, water was still kind of cold but manageable.  There is also a nice fishing pier about 4-5 miles east of the campground.  We went for a bit Saturday night but all we caught were hard head cats.  It was still fun just being out there fishing!  The campground is not far from town so if you forget something there is a Walmart there along with some other grocery stores and fast food places.  To the west of the campground is the Silver Slipper Casino for any gamblers out there.

All in all we had a good time.  Of course, as it always is, time goes by to fast and the trip was way to short.  I would like to go back when the water activities are open and see how all that is.
