About
A Mississippi state park (MDWFP) on the Gulf Coast at Waveland. Developed Camping: 250 numbered campsites across several named loops (Jeanne Lafitte 1-25, Barataria Bay 26-47, Long John Silver 48-68, Pirates Cove 69-93, Blackbeard 94-104, Treasure Cove 105-149, Royal Cay 150-206, and the newer Gulf View sites 207-250 overlooking the Gulf) - every loop's own page text confirms water, 30/50-amp electric, and sewer hookups at every site (all full hookup). Multiple handicap-accessible bathhouses with hot showers are centrally located within/near each loop. 24/7 self-service coin-operated laundry is in the activities building. Reservations for the Gulf View loop and half of Treasure Cove's double sites are office-only (not through the online system). Coordinate is MDWFP's own published street address, geocoded directly.
