Shephard's State Park Campsite

Travelling along the Gulf Coast through Mississippi, we stopped and wanted to check-out our first Mississppi State Park. Shephard's State Park was along the way near Gautier, MS.  The sites were ok; however, the bathroom was very old and there were no park or trail maps available.  We were on the border of another swamp/lagoon but our sites were wooded and individual.  Water and electric were provided.  We only stayed over the weekend because many of the parks in these southern states are booked on weekends and so we had make an reservations on line just to get in somewhere.  We did notice as we traveled along the Gulf Coast how deserted it was and how many parcels of properties are For Sale.  Obviously, the hurricanes have taken there toll.
