It has been 7 years since we stayed at Bay Hide Away but the recent reviews I read on campgroundreviews.com seem pretty accurate. The only thing I would be concerned about is the brown water mentioned in a couple of reviews. We did not experience the brown water in 2010. After heavy rains there is standing water in some areas of the campground. The campground is close to the ocean, the Silver Slipper Casino, and the John Stennis Space center.
We were there in 2010, five years after Hurricane Katrina devastated the area and there were still many areas, especially Waveland, MS, that hadn’t recovered. I would hope that by now everything has been rebuilt or restored in that area.
Here are a few pictures I took in March 2010. Here’s a pic of our site at Bay Hide Away.
The beach was nice and almost always deserted during our visit.
If you feed the seagulls don’t turn your back on them, LOL.
Damage from Katrina could be seen almost everywhere in 2010. It depressed me to think that 5 years after the hurricane there was still so much work that needed to be done. Apparently New Orleans received the bulk of the federal disaster money. One day as we explored the area we took a drive along Lower Bay Road and came upon this church in a drainage ditch. The storm surge from Katrina had picked up the church and moved it inland one mile before depositing it along the side of this road.
