Why Camp Near Pascagoula?
Things to Do Near Pascagoula, Mississippi
Pascagoula holds a genuine historical distinction: the LaPointe-Krebs House, also known as the Old Spanish Fort, dates to 1757 and is the oldest scientifically dated building in Mississippi. Round Island Lighthouse, relocated and restored, adds another layer of maritime history, while Pascagoula Beach Park & Pier covers the modern side of things with a splash pad, a 1,000-foot fishing pier, and a Hurricane Katrina memorial. The Pascagoula River Audubon Center serves as the gateway to the Pascagoula River's habitats for kayakers and bird-watchers, and downtown Ocean Springs — with its own dining, shopping, and art galleries — sits just 10 miles away for a change of scenery.

Plan a Trip to Pascagoula, Mississippi
Pascagoula offers a quieter, more historic alternative to the bigger Mississippi Gulf Coast casino towns, anchored by a building that predates the United States itself. Spend a morning at the LaPointe-Krebs House, an afternoon on the Pascagoula River with the Audubon Center, then head to the beach park for sunset.
It's a solid choice for history buffs, paddlers, and travelers who want a calmer coastal stop between Mobile and the bigger Mississippi Gulf Coast destinations like Gulfport and Biloxi.
Downtown Ocean Springs' galleries and dining are close enough for an easy day trip if you want more variety than Pascagoula itself offers.
