Buccaneer State Park Campground

The campsites were nice. However, I felt it was expensive to go to the waterpark for campers. Also, the bathrooms were pretty gross. The same hairball was in the showers the whole time we stayed.

Too expensive for a state park, especially in winter season when the nearby water park is closed. Bathrooma very outdated and dirty.

This park is wonderful. The sites are large and well kept. Showers are clean and plentiful. Will definitely be back.

Located on the beach in Waveland, Buccaneer is in a natural setting of large moss-draped oaks, marshlands and the Gulf of Mexico. Use of this land was first recorded in history in the last 1700's when Jean Lafitte and his followers were active in smuggling and pirating along the coast. The French Buccaneer Lafitte, inhabited the old Pirate House located a short distance from what is now the park. The park site, also known as Jackson's Ridge, was used as a base of military operations by Andrew Jackson during the battle of New Orleans. Jackson returned to this area and built a house on land that is now Buccaneer State Park.
