Creekside Farm Co.

6 sites ¡ Tents24 acres ¡ Kiln, MS
Once a main railway for lumber in Hancock County, this small 24-acre homestead, acquired in 2010, is home to a variety of farm animals, edible landscaping including multiple varieties of fruit trees and small vegetable gardens. Completely wooded at the time of purchase, the farm is still a work in progress. Daily farm life involves upgrading fences, clearing the 5-acre pasture, building animal pens, installing rain catchment systems, composting, harvesting, canning, baking and our favorite....... feeding the furry and feathered friends. Pitch your tent in our wooded acreage nestled along side a flowing creek bed. Relax on the sand and watch the squirrels play or close your eyes to meditate with the sounds of nature. A true primitive camping experience awaits you. You can fish in the pond for your own dinner and gather eggs for breakfast. Try snacking on farm breads and biscuits with homemade jellies. Depending on the season, picking wild blackberries or some of the farm produce available gives a glimpse into the daily life of living at Creekside Farm. Our goal is to provide an unplugged experience for you to unwind and get back to nature so you can release the stress of everyday and enjoy the nature and serenity of our little farm. Inquire about homesteading classes and our bi annual homesteading festival. Classes are on Saturday mornings in January/February. The festival is a small but super packed event in the fall and spring each year. You can follow us on FaceBook for more details.

Big Branch Apiary

8 sites ¡ Lodging, RVs, Tents50 acres ¡ Lacombe, LA
We sit on 50 acres north of Lake Pontchartrain. We're bounded by the Big Branch Wildlife Reserve to the south and a Rails to Trails bike path on the north. We are 3 miles from LaCombe to the east, Mandeville to the west, and about 1 mile from Fountainbleu State Park. Most of the farm, 80%, is mixed hardwood forest and designated wetlands. Desert Bayou and East Branch Bayou meander across the property which is home to deer, foxes, bobcats, owls, fireflies, otters, raccoons, turtles, and, well, about anything common to the wilds of the Gulf South. This includes a litany of snakes, mosquitoes, and deer flies in their season. About 5 acres are used to raise poultry, bees and organically farmed blueberries. Overall, the land feels primordial and pristine. We are a designated Monarch Waystation and in the spring and fall see many migrating butterflies. We cultivate a lot of flowers so almost year round you can see butterflies in profusion. We are part of the USDAs Conservation Stewardship Program, concentrating on protecting and increasing habitat for animals and pollinators. Dogs are welcome, 2 of them live here, but the chickens often run free and chasing them or the deer for fun or food is not acceptable. This is a rustic situation: think dry camping, outdoor (heated) shower, and port-o-lets. We have hookups for one small RV or camper close to the barn. In addition, we have a 10x10' treehouse, and several places to pitch a tent. The farm is pretty secure--someone is on-site most of the time, it's gated, and there are security cameras at access points. But it is a farm in a rural community--you may hear roosters crow, sheep bleat, dogs bark, and the mule bray along with the sounds of owls, hawks, coyotes and other native wildlife of the area. If this suits you then come stay and enjoy the farm life.

The best camping near Buccaneer State Park guide

Overview

About

This resilient state park is located on the beach of the Mississippi Gulf Coast. 2005's Hurricane Katrina destroyed all of Buccaneer's structures, water park, and facilities. Now beautifully restored, it offers premium campsites and a 2,350-foot disc golf course. (Par 3, 18 holes.) The 4.5-acre Buccaneer Bay Waterpark boasts a Wave Pool that generates eight different patterns.

Nearly 8,000 trees were lost along Pirate's Alley Nature Trail to Katrina's ravages. Today, the 1.8-mile self-guided trail offers hikers a look at a variety of indigenous plants and trees. A seasonal activities center offers fun activities for kids. The full-service Sea Dog Galley concession stand serves tasty treats.

Buccaneer's 206 campsites offer full amenities, including sewer. An additional 70 walk-in campsites are set on a grassy field overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. 25 primitive campsites nestled in the back of the Royal Cay camp area offer privacy. Three newly designed bathhouses have hot showers.

When to go

The ideal time to visit Buccaneer State Park is during the spring and fall when the weather is mild and the natural beauty is at its peak. Summer months can be hot and crowded, while winter brings cooler temperatures that might not be ideal for camping or water-based activities.

Know before you go

  • Check weather conditions before your visit to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
  • Be aware of park hours, typically from 8:30am to 5pm, and plan your activities accordingly.
  • Remember to pack essentials like water, sunscreen, and insect repellent for a comfortable trip.
  • Stay informed about any trail closures or restricted areas within the park.
  • Facilities may vary, so verify the availability of restrooms and picnic areas before your visit.
