If you’re feeling adventurous, the bayou eatery offffers oyster
connoisseurs a one-of-a-kind experience: North Carolina-style roasted oysters cooked over a live wood fifire. These are served in family-style buckets, or you can order a mixed flflight of raw and grilled specialty oysters. Now, if you’re craving something spicy and seasonal, head out back to The Crawfifish Shack, where fresh boils are a staple during the season. For those looking to unwind with a cocktail, The Bourbon Saloon pays tribute to the Orrison family’s Midwestern roots and love for good whiskey, warm conversations, and rustic charm.
Originally bought in 1986 by the Orrison family, the campground was a cherished family retreat before it was sold in 2005. In 2023, siblings Brad Orrison and Brooke Lewis were honored to purchase back their parents’ campground, reviving it with new life and a whole lot of soul.
The Orrison siblings are no strangers to creating
memorable experiences. In 2001, they opened the
legendary The Shed Barbeque & Blues Joint right next
door. With its funky decor, championship barbecue,
and live blues shows, The Shed quickly became a cult
favorite across the South and beyond. Upon opening, their brother Brett Orrison set the stage, creating what is now one
of the most legendary blues venues in the state. He scheduled many phenomenal musical guests over the years and now owns Spaceflflight Records, the country’s only nonprofifit record label and recording studio in Austin, Texas.
The property also plays host to nationally recognized barbecue competitions each year, where guests can get up close with some of the best pitmasters in the world and enjoy the sights, sounds, and smells of championship-level barbecue.
Whether you’re planning a weekend escape, a staycation, or just stopping by for dinner, there’s always something exciting in the works.
“Be sure to follow us on social media to keep up with our music lineup, exciting events at The Shed and Cozy Rosy, and our family’s world travels as we proudly represent South Mississippi at barbecue competitions across the country,” Brooke Lewis says.
