Roundabout Oxford RV & Water Resort

144 RV Sites, 20 Cottages

Roundabout Oxford RV and Water Resort sits on US-278 West in Oxford, Mississippi—150 RV sites and 20 cottages on a property anchored by a 2.5-acre water park in the rolling hill country of Lafayette County, 10 to 15 minutes from the University of Mississippi's campus and Oxford's nationally recognized restaurant and literary culture. The resort's combination of a fully developed water park with lazy river, swim-up bar, and adult pool alongside RV accommodation in the Ole Miss corridor makes it the most recreation-oriented camping property in a part of Mississippi that has become one of the South's more sophisticated small-city destinations. Full hookup sites with 30 and 50-amp service serve back-in, pull-through, and buddy configurations, all with water and sewer connections. The water park's signature feature is the 912-foot Swayze River—a lazy river where guests float the day away and stop at the Hoka Hut swim-up bar for frozen drinks—alongside a main family pool, an adults-only pool with sun shelf and loungers, a water slide, and a hot tub. The resort's social spaces extend beyond the water park: the Grand Lodge with its sunset balcony, Molly Barr Bar, a community pavilion, and an arcade accommodate evening entertainment. Mini-golf, basketball, volleyball, GaGa ball, pickleball, biking, and dog parks for both small and large breeds fill the dry-land recreation roster. Oxford, Mississippi, has developed a cultural identity that extends well beyond its university status—the city's literary heritage, rooted in William Faulkner's decades in residence at Rowan Oak (now a museum and literary site open to the public), has made it the South's foremost association between a small city and canonical American literature. The Square, Oxford's historic courthouse-centered commercial district, contains a concentration of independent restaurants and bars that rivals cities several times its size, and the city's commitment to locally owned hospitality—from Taylor Grocery to City Grocery to the breadth of James Beard-recognized chefs who have operated in Oxford—gives it a food culture that draws visitors from across the South. The University of Mississippi campus provides the recreational and cultural infrastructure of a major research university: the Grove tailgating culture before Ole Miss football games in Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, the University Museum's collection including the Theora Hamblett folk art works, and the Oxford Conference for the Book (hosted by the university's Center for the Study of Southern Culture) make the campus an active visitor destination beyond football season. John W. Kyle State Park, 25 minutes north on Sardis Lake, provides swimming, boating, and camping in the dam-lake landscape of the Tallahatchie River watershed. Roundabout Oxford RV and Water Resort operates year-round, with the water park season and Ole Miss football schedule driving the two primary demand peaks—summer for water park family camping and fall for game-day overflow from the Oxford lodging market, which fills to capacity for home football weekends when the university's 80,000-seat stadium operates at full capacity. Reservations well ahead of game weekends are essential, and the resort's short drive to the Square and the stadium make it a practical base camp for the Ole Miss game-day experience at considerably lower cost than available Oxford hotel rooms.

Natchitoches Pecan Orchard RV Park

22 RV Sites

Natchitoches Pecan Orchard RV Park in Natchitoches, Louisiana, is a big-rig-friendly RV park set among the live oaks and pecan trees of a working orchard, with an outdoor pool, an on-site dining room, a boutique shop and mini-golf. Sites take rigs up to 45 feet with electric hookups, and the park is ADA accessible. RV sites with electric hookups accommodate rigs to 45 feet, and the layout is big-rig friendly throughout, with room to maneuver a long coach without a spotter. Accessible facilities are available for guests who need them, and on-site laundry handles longer stays. The mature pecan and live oak canopy shades the sites through the day — a practical advantage over open-lot parks in a Louisiana summer, and the reason the orchard setting is more than a name. The amenity package favors character over resort scale. An outdoor pool anchors warm-weather stays and is the property's main recreation draw. An on-site dining room means guests need not drive out for every meal, a boutique shop carries Louisiana products and gifts, and mini-golf fills the space between. Pets are welcome throughout the park. The park sits on the Cane River in Natchitoches, founded in 1714 and the oldest permanent European settlement in the Louisiana Purchase territory. The Front Street historic district is minutes away, as are the restaurants serving the Natchitoches meat pie, Louisiana's oldest official state food. Melrose and Oakland Plantations lie south along the Cane River National Heritage Area. The park operates year-round. The Christmas Festival of Lights, running over the Cane River from Thanksgiving through New Year's since 1927, is the busiest window of the year, while spring and fall deliver the most comfortable conditions for a stay. Book well ahead for the Christmas festival, when rooms and sites across Natchitoches fill completely.

Wildwood Resort

Toledo Bend Reservoir straddles the Louisiana-Texas border for 185,000 acres of water that consistently ranks among the top bass fisheries in the United States, producing largemouth bass of a size and frequency that keeps professional anglers and recreational fishers returning season after season. Wildwood Resort occupies 40 acres of waterfront on the Louisiana side, offering lodging from full-hookup RV sites to cabins and multi-room lodges positioned to take full advantage of the reservoir's remarkable fishery and the dramatic piney-woods setting of Sabine County. The resort accommodates guests in two main configurations: 16 full-hookup RV sites with 30- and 50-amp electric service on back-in, 40-foot-friendly pads with security lighting, and 31 cabins and lodges ranging from intimate two-person retreats to large group units sleeping up to 24. The lodge options run from simple cabin accommodations to resort-style suites with full kitchens, making Wildwood a practical destination for fishing groups of any size. Three swimming pools serve guests during the warmer months, and a gift and tackle shop on the property handles last-minute gear and bait without requiring a drive to town. The fishing infrastructure at Wildwood is among the property's strongest attributes. A 300-foot fishing pier, lighted for night fishing and partially covered, extends from the shoreline into Toledo Bend's productive near-shore waters — an excellent option for guests who want consistent access without launching a boat. A private boat launch gives those with their own craft direct reservoir access, while three separate stocked ponds on the property provide catch-and-release fishing that doesn't require a Louisiana fishing license. Paddle boards, kayaks, and paddle bikes are available to all resort guests at no additional charge, making casual water exploration accessible regardless of whether guests brought a boat. Toledo Bend Family Adventure Park, directly across the road from the resort, adds a land-based entertainment component to the trip that extends the property's appeal well beyond fishing. The park includes water attractions, zip lines, and family activities that serve as natural afternoon programming after a morning on the water. Zwolle, the nearest town, is best known for the Tamale Fiesta, an annual October celebration of the area's Spanish and Adaes Indian heritage that has grown into one of the most distinctive local festivals in Louisiana, with tamale preparation competitions, music, and cultural programming. Bald eagles work the reservoir's edge in winter months, and the surrounding Sabine River country offers additional wildlife viewing throughout the year. Toledo Bend's bass fishing season never truly closes, but peak periods run February through May for pre-spawn and spawn activity and October through November in the fall feeding period. Summer fishing is productive in the early morning hours before heat sets in, and the resort's pools provide afternoon relief during the hottest weeks of July and August. The Tamale Fiesta weekend in October fills area lodging well in advance — book early if that event is on the itinerary. Winter is the season for bald eagle watching and quieter reservoir conditions, with cabin rates at their most accessible and fewer boats competing for the best water.

A boat ramp and kayak rentals put guests on the river for canoeing, kayaking, and fishing, with a pond, walking trails, playground, dog park, pavilion, and snack bar besides. Pets are welcome.
