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.

Mark's Marvelous Masterpiece

2 sites · RVs, Tents1 acre · Mobile, AL

I recently purchased this property. I am in the middle of remodeling, so bear with the mess inside if you are a tent camper and need to use the facilities. I have a charcoal and gas grill available on the deck, as well as a smoker. I am a bit "house poor," until I get my shop built and make my own furniture, so bring portable chairs and a table.Learn more about this land:Pitch your tent on one of two locations. Each are separated by the house. Fire pits in place. The ground is soft and mostly level. The house is on stilts, so if restrooms are needed, then be prepared to walk a flight of stairs. Lots of birds, wood ducks, and other wildlife. Kayaking is king here. Lots of great fishing on-site and nearby depending on time of year.

Camping near Ocean Springs guide

Overview

On the coast of Mississippi, Ocean Springs makes a perfect basecamp for seaside adventures. Accommodations in town include cozy micro-cabin rentals with kitchens, creekside tent camping on small farms, and RV camping on a quiet blueberry farm. Take in the shoreline and explore Gulf Islands National Seashore from tent and RV campgrounds at Davis Bayou Area, where amenities include flush toilets, electric hookups, hot showers, and a dump station. A hike along the Davis Bayou North Trailhead is easy from picnic areas in the park, or wander the boardwalks to admire the bayou. Head inland to the Mississippi Sandhill Crane National Wildlife Refuge. It’s home to rare orchids and carnivorous plants as well as the endangered sandhill crane. Camping can be found 20 minutes away at Shepard State Park’s tent and RV sites that deliver a peaceful night under the trees. Bring the family pet to the dog park or take up a new sport at the archery range for an exciting day out.
