Report on Gulfport, MS
Posted: Thu Feb 05, 2009 3:39 pm
Hey, ya'll!! Okay, now that we are all rested up from the drive from Texas, am ready to give you the tour so far and the fun things to do here. But remember, we've only been here 2 days and are spending the whole month here, so I may add more stuff later...
Our main reason to come here was to check out the new Navy RV Park/campground....This was a popular place before Katrina for the military to stay at and they really didn't have alot of damage, but it gave them a good reason to re-do the park in another location and use the old park for new housing for the Navy families. Plus, we've heard alot about Gulfport as a place to enjoy the gulf coast and to play at the casinos....So here we are!!
Home Sweet Home
The new park is located right inside the main gate to the Navy base.
Here are a few photos of the park.
Photos of the beach area along US 90
I didn't know that Jeff Davis had a home here. It is also along US 90.
And of course, can't come to an area that has resorts and casinos without checking them out. And yes, I won on the slots today! came home $20 ahead...
This is the entry to the Beau Rivage resort/casino.
Someone asked if there is still a cemetary here on base. Well, there is one, but it isn't on base. It is just on the other side of the fence. I can see it from our window....
Okay........enjoy everyone.....We really like it here...
