The best dog-friendly camping in Mississippi

·

Whether you’re taking an RV road trip along the Natchez Trace Parkway, fishing and boating around the lakes and rivers, or cooling off at the Gulf Coast beaches in the south―a Mississippi camping trip is more fun if you can bring your four-legged family along for the ride. Luckily, there are pet-friendly outdoor adventures to be found all around the state, whether you’re hiking through De Soto National Forest, hooking catfish at Tombigbee State Park, or ball-throwing and leaf-peeping in Roosevelt State Park. Pets are welcome at Mississippi state parks and campgrounds (except cabin rentals), but you’ll need to keep them on a six-foot leash and off the beaches. Many private campgrounds and rural Hipcamps are also happy to accept well-behaved dogs, but be sure to check if there are size limitations (not all sites welcome big dogs) and whether there’s a pet fee.

Kiln, MS · 6 sites · Tents, RVs
Once a main railway for lumber in Hancock County, this 24-acre property along Bayou LaTerre, acquired in 2010, is home to a small variety of animals, edible landscaping including multiple varieties of fruit trees and seasonal 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 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. 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.

All You Need is a 111 acre paradise that is home to some VERY unique and endangered habitat. Our northern boundary is a tract of DeSoto National Forest, where we have practically exclusive access to another 90 acres of longleaf pine savannah and more bottomland creeks. The sandhills are a "desert in the rain," home to prickly pear cactus and yuccas, abundant lichens (deer "moss"), the endangered black pine snake, and our mascot, the also endangered Gopher Tortoise. We're a nature education and retreat center where we share permaculture practices, homesteading/sustainable living skills, conservation practices, and approaches to connecting more deeply to the land. Check out our sister non-profit, the Burrow Nature Center. You will have access to our many walking paths and our swimming pond, as well as a 15 minute walk to part of DeSoto National Forest, which butts up to our property line. We would love to have you as our guest on the land, and are especially eager to meet travelers who deeply love nature and want to live in better relationship to it! Check in is between 2pm - 8pm, Check out is 11am. There's a fee for late check-in to our site.

Mc Comb, MS · 8 sites · Tents, RVs
95 acres on the beautiful Topisaw Creek. Here we've raised 5 kids and a multitude of dogs, cats and chickens and a small herd of pineywoods cattle. The woods are quiet and undisturbed , harboring native species like jack in the pulpit, trillium and Florida anise. The spring-fed (and thus always refreshing!) Topisaw Creek forms the eastern border of our property, so plan to spend time on the sandy beaches and rock bars soaking up the sun or hunting for rocks and fossils (petrified wood and arrowheads have been found here). Many folks also enjoy a leisurely float down the creek in inner tubes ('tubing') or in a kayak. (Please note that after heavy rains the creek rises to epic heights and is too dangerous to navigate.) Little to no light pollution makes for amazing stargazing!

Lush rolling terrain and wide slow creeks are trademarks of the De Soto National Forest. So are kickin’ it in a canoe with a brew while you float down the river, we suggest exploring both! The swamplands here offer ample opportunity for kayaking, canoeing, and fishing on the Black Creek National Scenic River. The primitive camping along the way is hot in the summer, but prime for misty morning photography and inky orange sunsets...worth it! Off-road the Rattlesnake Bay Trail or hike the Tuxachanie trail with your crew for a day of laughs deep in the pines. You can pretty much camp forever here too, so pack up a week or two worth of gear, and really dig deep into what Desoto has to offer.

Private Full-Hookup RV Sites on a Peaceful 5-Acre Property with Roomy Grassy Land in Gulfport, MS Welcome to our small, family-run private campground on a spacious 5.18-acre wooded property in Gulfport, Mississippi! Located in town, this peaceful slice of the Mississippi Gulf Coast offers level RV spots with full hookups—the perfect blend of rural privacy and easy access to beaches, casinos, and coastal attractions. Our property features mature trees, open grassy areas, and plenty of room to roam, unwind, or let your pets explore. Every spot includes full hookups with 30/50-amp electric, high-speed WiFi, fresh water, and sewer. We provide spacious, level gravel or grass pads with an excellent turning radius, and big rigs are welcome (please confirm length when booking). Each site has a picnic table available in a quiet, private setting on acreage with no crowded commercial RV park vibes. Just a short 15–20 minute drive puts you at Gulfport Beach and Harbor for white-sand swimming, fishing piers, and dolphin watching. You are also near the Mississippi Aquarium, Gulf Islands Waterpark, and the Ship Island ferry. Head a little farther to Biloxi for non-stop casinos, live music, fresh seafood, outlet shopping, and nightlife. It’s the ideal base camp for beach days, fishing charters, family adventures, or snowbird stays on the Gulf Coast. We keep our campground intentionally small with only two sites so it stays peaceful and personal. On-site hosts are happy to share local tips for the best hidden spots, restaurants, or activities. Pets are welcome (leashed, please), and campfires are encouraged when weather and fire bans permit. We love hosting RVers who appreciate a true private-land experience. Whether you’re road-tripping, wintering in the South, or just escaping for a weekend, our full-hookup RV sites deliver comfort, space, and that authentic Mississippi Gulf Coast feel. Ready to unplug and relax on a shaded private lot? Book your stay now!
