there are a pack of camp dogs which have free run of this site. There
are a few hundred beds in cabins and buildings on this site, a large
hall which serves Larry's kitchen and a smaller (Bede Hall) hall with
an extremely minimal kitchen. There is a Pool, availability of the pool
depends on the autocrat and site owner. There is a camp store that
sells drinks, snacks and some sundries. This is a wet site.
They used to have a site at www.kingsarrow.org but that is now a dead link.
Camp Wilkes
Although Camp Wilkes received significant damage during Hurricane katrina, they have rebuilt with many improvements. Cabins are air conditioned, feast hall is not.
Take Exit 44, Cedar Lake Road south from I-10 in Biloxi, MS. Go past the Harley Davidson store. At the traffic light intersection, turn right onto Popp's Ferry road. Go about a mile and a half. Look for a large wooden sign cutout in the shape of a giant boyscout, standing akimbo beside the road. Do not be afraid. This is Camp Wilkes Road. Turn left onto Camp Wilkes road. At the 4-way stop, turn right to stay on Camp Wilkes road, it goes through a residential neighborhood.
Site Notes
Parking is outside the gate. No vehicles are allowed past the fighting field, and can only load and unload at the fighting field, then must return to the parking lot. There is a swimming pool at this site, check with the autocrat to determine if the pool will be available. There is a dock and waterfront overlooking the Biloxi Back Bay. The wooded part of the site has several very nice trails and secluded primitive campsites, despite the camp being surrounded on three sides by suberbs. There are plenty of fast food places on Cedar Lake road as you leave the interstate, and a large grocery store at either end of Popp's ferry road.
Camp Camilla, Hattiesburg/Petal MS
(formerly Woodsmen of the World (WOW) Camp)

You are warned.
Site Notes
Pets are usually allowed on leashes. There are 4 air conditioned dorm-style cabins with unisex bathrooms and a large open air pavilion. There are some accomodations in the feast hall building, although they are usually reserved for Royalty. It is the web minister's sole opinion that this site smells like a leaky septic tank (poo) behind the feast hall. There is a pool. Check with the autocrat to determine if it will be available during the event.
There are many fast food and upscale dine-in restraunts in Hattiesburg, and a variety of enormous retail and hardware stores and plenty of Hotels.
