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.

Welcome to Soultribe! A new community-in-the-making in the heart of the sweet south of Mchenry, MS - only 24 miles from the white sandy beaches of the Mississippi Gulf Coast (the world’s longest man-made beach)! We bought this property in April 2025 after working hard and long on a decade-long dream come true! It’s a fully wooded, 4 acre L-shaped property, currently home to two residents - myself and my daughter. Every day we are working hard to cut pathways and new campsites for visitors, travelers, and potential community members. Eventually we will host events, classes, workshops, retreats, and festivals. We are still in the earliest stages of building, so it’s a very rustic, off-grid experience, and with more visitors, we plan to build cabins and install solar and water collection systems, so we can have outdoor showers, natural pools, outhouses, community areas, a retreat center, and shops for community members to run their businesses from. We are following food forest and permaculture methods instead of traditional gardening, and our long-term vision for this land is a new garden of Eden! We need all the help we can get, so we also offer volunteer trade opportunities to anyone interested. Or, if you just need a place to step back from the busy hub of society, ground and reconnect with nature, Soultribe is the sanctuary for you! You may utilize the little spaces we currently have available for camping, or get in touch with your primal nature, explore our woods and cut down your own trail and campsite. We will be present to assist in any way, open to sharing and communal activities - or we can offer you solitude and privacy during your trip… it’s entirely up to you! Come create heaven with us… send your booking inquiry today!

Weekend Trip to Bayou Peninsula

We had such an incredible experience staying with Deborah and her husband. They were kinder and more welcoming than I ever could have imagined. From the moment we arrived, they made us feel comfortable and genuinely cared about our stay. Deborah went above and beyond by recommending amazing local spots to explore, and every suggestion was a hit. You can tell she truly loves the area and wants her guests to experience the best of it. Their hospitality made the whole trip feel special like we were visiting friends. If you’re considering staying here, don’t hesitate. It’s rare to meet hosts who are this thoughtful and generous. We would absolutely stay again.

This was our second time camping here, and we will absolutely be back. It’s a fantastic spot for tent camping! It’s safe, quiet, dog-friendly (leashes required but they had plenty of space to roam around on the extended leashes we brought) and very secluded. The trails and pond were a great bonus, and despite knowing others were on the property, we never saw anyone else during our stay. Jordan, the host, was very attentive and quick to help troubleshoot any issues. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful, well-maintained camping experience.

3 nights at Poka Park on Rampart

I enjoyed my stay at Kat’s place. Great location! Downtown, the French Quarter and other cool places to explore are only a 15 minute bike ride away and Kat also had some great food recommendations (Katie’s!). Cool host, good location, would recommend!

The best camping in Buccaneer State Park, MS 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.

Buccaneer Campground

We went in off season. It was very quiet. Close to nice places to eat at in waveland. Not that far from casinos if that is what you like.
