This is a really nice area to camp for free. Good Verizon service, dumpster, porta-potty, covered pavilion with grills, and regular sheriff patrols. I camped on the hard gravel area near the pavilion. There's another easy place to park along the road to the right of the pavilion as you face the gulf. Tides fluctuate on the beac... more

Stayed in March 2019. We picked this place on the good reviews and we were not disappointed. We arrived late Friday afternoon and chose to go left onto the beach, and we set up against the barbed wire fence that is in place to keep campers off the dunes. It was much like parallel parking along the fence, which gave enough room or othe... more

We were here on a weekend, March 22, 2019, through March 24, 2019. It was quite crowded, although people did make an effort to space apart. Most of the crowd was quiet. Lots of fishermen, small children, and many were there for the day only. The area between the water and the dunes was only about 40 feet at low tide, and the road u... more

FREE beach camping! What better way to spend a weekend ~ beach combing for beautiful seashells, chatting with fellow campers and sharing camping stories, lovely sunset, falling asleep to the sound of the crashing surf 😃 WOW!!!

great Beach we came from New Orleans down Highway 82. I never saw so many alligators. Well worth the drive

Three days of listening to the waves, beach combing, and beautiful sunsets. Rotation of a couple rvs, mostly vans. Cleanish ports potty’s, outdoor showers, grills, dumpster, and picnic tables available. We parked on the gravel because the packed sand spots were occupied when we arrived but we still loved it. Even though there we... more

We love camping on the beach! There is nothing better than sleeping to the sounds of waves crashing outside your RV. We saw dolphins while we were there, walked the shoreline, and talked with other campers. The best part? It's FREE! We stayed as close to the dune as possible while still being beach side. We had no trouble with soft san... more

This was an easy to get to (all paved roads) and scenic even though oil rigs for the horizon. It was also really cool that you can drive on the beach. I give it three stars because we were tent camping. We hadn’t camped on the beach before and learned why people don’t. There was sand everywhere on our stuff, it was either really win... more

We stayed in early December and it was great. We were practically the only ones on the beach and had the entire place to ourselves. The bugs were pretty vicious (not biting, just covering the car & RV) before the sun went down. The sand is packed pretty nicely, so driving out and finding a level spot wasn't a problem at all. We... more

We parked between the picnic benches and the dunes. The previous comments about mosquitoes were 100% right. The port-a-potties were clean. There is a dumperster for trash. The beach was clean and there were tons of shells.
