About
Fifteen air-conditioned units near Oakland - six duplex cabins and three stand-alone cabins - each with a living/dining room, linens and towels, cookware and dishware, a microwave, coffee pot, full refrigerator, stove and oven, TV, screened porch, and a waterfront site with a grill and picnic table. Check-in is 3 p.m., check-out 11 a.m. MDWFP's own listing doesn't publish a pet policy or ADA information for these cabins specifically - call ahead to confirm either. Reservations up to 12 months ahead.
Fees
Mississippi State Parks' statewide Cabins rate band: $35.00-$350.00 per night; the exact nightly rate depends on this park's own cabin tier and the season - contact the park to confirm. A 50% deposit is due at the time of reservation (check, cash, or credit card). Guests must be 21 or older, or accompanied by an adult who is. A government-issued photo ID is required at check-in. The weekend rate applies Friday and Saturday nights. A 15% discount applies for guests 62+, disabled, veterans, and active-duty service members (excludes holidays and special events).
This is a standing, year-round rental with no seasonal closure published. Mississippi's one Gulf Coast state park, Buccaneer, has no cabin or cottage of any kind (checked directly), so no storm/hurricane-season closure applies to this - or any - record in this file; still worth calling ahead to confirm status if a storm system is active during your trip.
