About
Davis Bayou Campground sits within Gulf Islands National Seashore's Mississippi district, tucked among live oaks and pine trees beside a scenic saltwater marsh. All 52 individual sites feature electric (30/50 amp) and water hookups, a picnic table, and access to a grill or fire ring. The modern bathhouse has flush toilets and hot showers with keyless entry, plus laundry facilities. A dump station serves RV campers. The campground provides direct access to the 0.5-mile Davis Bayou Trail, which winds through coastal forest and over two bayous where alligators and other wildlife are frequently spotted. A boat launch sits half a mile away, and the fishing pier near the Visitor Center is available to anglers with a Mississippi saltwater license. Ranger-led programs run seasonally. The park also serves as a gateway to Horn, Petit Bois, East Ship, and West Ship barrier islands, accessible by private boat or charter. Ferries to West Ship Island operate from Gulfport March through October.
