Shields RV Park

5 ReviewsAdd Review

RV enthusiasts with military access will find Shields RV Park operates two distinct sections on base, with the back area featuring newer 20x40 level concrete pads that accommodate rigs up to 50 feet. The front section sits closer to the fence line, where campers experience regular train whistles and road traffic throughout the day and night.

Full hookups include electric, water, and sewer connections at all sites, with rates around $15 per night. The bathhouse provides four separate rooms with individual toilets and showers, plus on-site laundry facilities with washers and dryers. Free cable TV is available after a $100 deposit for the cable box. WiFi covers the campground, though connection quality varies by location.

The back section offers more separation from base operations and includes remnants from an old golf course with small fishing areas and walking trails. Anthony C. notes "little fishing pods and trails from old golf course" remain accessible to campers. A large dog park sits within walking distance for pet owners.

Morning departures require planning around physical training hours when base runners use the roads heavily. The giant voice speaker system ensures early wake-ups at 8 AM daily for announcements. For additional camping options in the area, see campgrounds around Gulfport.

Many campers appreciated the large, level sites and quality facilities including clean bathhouses and laundry. Several guests reported noise concerns from trains and traffic, though staff received praise for professionalism.

Nice famcamp!

Large full hook up sites, nice laundry facility and restrooms, and the office staff was very professional and accomodating for our last minute reservations. There are two parts to the camgroud, one of which is by a lake. There is a bit of road noise, sirens from ambulances heading to a nearby hospital, and nearby train tracks, but overall, a very nice famcamp..

2 parks 2 different feels

Lived in the front park for 6 months. Busy with outside traffic and trains. Park in the back of base is newer and nicer. 20x40 level concrete pads. Secluded from the rest of base. Little fishing pods and trails from old golf course. Bath house with 4 separate rooms with toilets and showers. Washer and dryer. Near giant voice speaker so you won’t sleep in past 8am any day and you’ll hear any emergency. Only way out is tricky during pt hours in the morning with all the runners. Large dog park a short walk away.
