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.

Camping near Gulfport guide

Overview

If clean water, abundant marine life and accessible beaches are enticing, then Gulfport should be high on your list for coastal camping destinations in the South. As the second largest city in Mississippi, Gulfport shoulders the wild Gulf Coast, where near-shore and offshore fishing are excellent and boating is the perfect way to get outside. Even better, the barrier islands absorb a large portion of the heavy ocean currents, creating calm waters ideal for swimming and paddling between the islands and coastline at Gulfport Beach, which connects Long Beach and Biloxi. Around Gulfport, there’s no shortage of tent camping, RV parks, and big-rig-friendly camping, some with water-adjacent pull-through sites.

Where to go

Davis Bayou Area of Gulf Islands National Seashore

A 40-minute drive east of Gulfport, this area of Gulf Islands National Seashore offers camping opportunities and access to the gorgeous Mississippi Gulf Coast. Campers can set up their tent near the bayou and spend time hiking, birdwatching, and exploring the barrier islands. White sand stretches for miles on this seashore—look out for picnic tables, water, and restrooms at various access points. Some of the nicest beaches in the United States are located in this southern region.

De Soto National Forest

About 45 minutes north on Interstate 49, De Soto National Forest offers a vast expanse of outdoor recreation. Go fishing in its lakes and streams, then enjoy camping in one of the designated campgrounds (the first-come, first-served Big Biloxi is among the most popular with RV sites, hot showers, full hookups, and dump stations). The forest’s scenic Tuxachanie Hiking Trail is a popular spot for taking in all the area has to offer.

Buccaneer State Park

This popular coastal destination sits 20 miles west of Gulfport, offering camping and outdoor activities like fishing, beach swimming, and picnicking—plus a massive disc golf course and full waterpark play. Buccaneer State Park is a hot spot for campers looking to hit the water and stay at one of hundreds of campsites at Buccaneer Campground with access to laundry facilities, bathhouses, and concrete pads for some RV sites

Shepard State Park

Shepard State Park is another excellent spot for camping adventures. The park features campsites, hiking trails, a dog park, and even an archery range.

When to go

Gulfport (and Mississippi in general) has a hot, humid summer climate. The waterfront can help cool things down, but campers typically prefer fall and winter for the pleasant temperatures. October through March are the optimal months for a camping trip near Gulfport, although hurricane season can run from June to November. Keep an eye on the weather systems while visiting or choose the safest months of December through April. Although October can fall within hurricane season, it also offers some of the best opportunities for perfect beach and boating weather, pending the year.
