About Us

It all started from an RV Trip!

We took our kids on an RV trip in 2018 and loved pulling our "home" with us as we traveled. We built Legends of the Bayou to welcome travelers doing the same thing right here on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

The Trip that Inspired it All...

13 Days, 5700 Miles, 11 States, 8 National Parks, and our family only ate in a restaurant once.

LEGENDS was inspired by an RV trip we took with our family in the summer of 2018. We went west, making it all the way to Malibu, California stopping at national parks and neat little attractions along the way.

The memories are endless... we crossed illegally into Mexico, hiked deep down in caverns, visited the oldest community in America, dived off a cliff, and kayaked through a canyon. We jumped into the Pacific Ocean, battled the blazing heat of the Mohave, experienced the wind tunnel at Arches, and ascended 12,000 feet in the Rockies. And we did it all from the convenience of an RV.

Little did we know it at the time, but the family adventure ended up sparking a family business. We built Legends of the Bayou to welcome visitors from all across the country doing the same thing we did. It's our goal to provide a safe place for you and your family to rest for a night, a week, or even a month.

Whether you're just passing through or you plan to stay awhile, let us be a part of YOUR adventure

More Than Just a Place to Park

Legends of the Bayou offers something that’s becoming increasingly difficult to find—a quiet, relaxing waterfront campground where guests can enjoy nature while remaining just minutes from restaurants, beaches, casinos, shopping, and the historic streets of Downtown Bay St. Louis.

  • Wake up to birds singing over Edwards Bayou.
  • Fish from our private dock.
  • Launch your boat for a day on the water.
  • Watch spectacular sunsets from your campsite.
  • Or simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings that have made so many guests say they wish they had stayed longer.

The Perfect Location on the Mississippi Gulf Coast

Our convenient location makes Legends of the Bayou an excellent home base for exploring the entire Mississippi Gulf Coast.

Family-Owned. Guest-Focused.

As a family-owned business, we believe every guest deserves a clean campsite, a friendly welcome, and a peaceful place to relax.

We continually invest in improving the campground because we aren’t simply operating an RV park—we’re building a place where families, couples, fishermen, snowbirds, and road trippers can create lasting memories along the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

Our greatest compliment is hearing guests say they can’t wait to return.

We hope you’ll become part of the Legends of the Bayou family.
