About
Big Biloxi Recreation Area offers a developed camping experience on the banks of the Big Biloxi River in southern Mississippi's De Soto National Forest. The campground provides 25 sites, each equipped with water and electric hookups (up to 50 amps), making it well-suited for RVs up to 42 feet. A bathhouse with hot showers, flush toilets, and a dump station serve the campground. The Big Biloxi River is the main attraction, providing excellent fishing for bream, bass, and catfish. A half-mile nature trail loops through the surrounding pine forest. The day-use area includes a covered pavilion with picnic tables and grills available for reservation. The campground operates year-round on a first-come, first-served basis, though sites may also be reserved through Recreation.gov. Stay limits are 14 consecutive days from May through October, extending to 30 days from November through April. Quiet hours run from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.
