Gulf Coast Casinos Up & Running
The casinos along Mississippi's Gulf Coast were literally flattened in August 2005 when hurricane Katrina roared through. Now -- less than two years since the devastating event -- most of the casino resorts are back in business. If you go to the Gulf Coast anytime soon, you'll find that construction still continues at many of the resorts in Biloxi, Gulfport, Waveland and Bay St. Louis. But there's plenty of action at the casinos and at the entertainment venues as well.
The popular RV Park in Bay St. Louis (at Hollywood Casino, formerly Casino Magic) was one of the first facilities to re-open. Many of the large trees had been spared by the winds so the renovated RV Park is as lovely as ever. It remains the only RV Park at a casino on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. The Hollywood Casino (used to be Casino Magic) has also been completely rebuilt. The unique Bridges Golf Course, named for the 21 bridges on the course, is now open too, following a multi-million dollar renovation that was overseen by course designer Arnold Palmer himself.
Look for most of your favorite casinos along the Gulf Coast this season. However, RV parking in the lots may be somewhat tight because of the ongoing construction.

I was at the Hollywood Casino in the middle of May 2007. The casino is a very small casino compared to what Casino Magic was before Hurricane Katrina.
The RV Park is still nice but of course not like it was before the storm. The salt water destroyed all the grass on the sites and has been replaced with red mulch. If you have pets you need to be aware of this because there are stickers, hitchhikers and such in the spring and summer in the sites.
I understand that some of the other casino's now allow r/v's to park overnight with the generator running in their parking lots. Before the storm it was against the law in the City of Biloxi and also in Gulfport.
Hope this is of help........
