Bay St Louis, MS - July 07, 2025 - PRESSADVANTAGE -

BAY ST. LOUIS, MS – July 5, 2025 – Lake Lacroix RV Resort, a premier 38-acre family-owned RV destination in Bay St. Louis, today announced a significant expansion of its services, aimed at bringing its unique blend of outdoor adventure and family-centric relaxation to a broader audience across the Gulf Coast. This development comes as the Mississippi Gulf Coast prepares for two of its most anticipated summer traditions: the 41st Annual Crab Fest and the Diamondhead 4th of July Celebration, positioning the resort as the ideal base camp for families attending these cornerstone community events.

The resort, renowned for its pristine 10-acre lake and comprehensive amenities, will now expand its operational management and recreational programming to a new sister property, "Cypress Point RV Retreat," situated in the burgeoning recreational area near Hattiesburg, Mississippi. This strategic expansion marks the first phase of a broader initiative to establish a network of high-quality, family-oriented RV resorts across the state, making the celebrated Lake Lacroix experience accessible to a broader range of travellers and local vacationers. The new location will begin taking reservations this fall, with a grand opening planned for Spring 2026.

This announcement coincides with the peak season for Gulf Coast tourism, anchored by the beloved 41st Annual Crab Fest, scheduled from Thursday, July 3, 2025, through Saturday, July 5, 2025. Hosted on the historic grounds of Our Lady of the Gulf Catholic Church at 228 South Beach Boulevard, the festival is a cherished tradition that draws thousands of visitors for a weekend of live music, arts and crafts, and, of course, an abundance of fresh, local seafood. The event, a staple of the community for over four decades, also features a popular 5K and Fun Run on the morning of July 5th, offering a wholesome activity for families before they indulge in the day's festivities. Families staying at Lake Lacroix RV Resort are ideally situated to enjoy the full spectrum of the festival's offerings, with the resort located just a short drive from the event grounds.

Adding to the festive atmosphere of the Independence Day weekend is the annual Diamondhead 4th of July Celebration. This year’s event will take place on the evening of Thursday, July 3rd, 2025, at the scenic Harbour Circle in Diamondhead. Families can look forward to an evening filled with live music from the popular local band, Joni Compretta & Baytown Groove, a variety of food trucks offering local culinary delights, and a spectacular fireworks display over the water. The community-centric event provides a safe and celebratory environment for all ages, and its proximity to Lake Lacroix RV Resort allows families to partake in the patriotic fun without the hassle of extensive travel, retiring to the comfort of their own RVs at the end of the evening.

Lake Lacroix RV Resort provides a tranquil and secure haven for families to return to after a day of festival excitement. The resort’s 90 spacious RV sites, all equipped with full hookups for 30-and 50-amp service, offer the perfect setting for relaxation. The resort’s extensive amenities are designed with families in mind, featuring a large swimming pool with a zero-entry point for younger children, a well-maintained playground, and a spacious clubhouse for community gatherings. For four-legged family members, a dedicated dog park provides a safe space for exercise and play.

The owner of Lake Lacroix RV Resort stated that the resort's mission has always been to create a destination where families can disconnect from the stresses of daily life and reconnect with each other in a beautiful, natural setting. The owner expressed enthusiasm not only for welcoming families to the Crab Fest and Fourth of July festivities but also for announcing the first step in the company's expansion with Cypress Point RV Retreat. It was further stated that the company believes everyone deserves a high-quality, memorable camping experience, and this new venture will allow it to share the Lake Lacroix standard of hospitality with even more people. The owner added that the overarching goal is to foster a sense of community, not just within the resort, but across the great state of Mississippi by connecting families through shared experiences and a love for the outdoors.

The resort’s namesake, a stunning 10-acre lake, serves as the centrepiece for a variety of recreational activities. Families can spend their days kayaking, paddleboarding, or simply enjoying the sandy beach area. For those who enjoy fishing, the lake is stocked and offers a peaceful angling experience. As evening approaches, guests can gather around a lakeside bonfire, with s’mores kits and bonfire setup services available to create lasting memories. The availability of golf cart rentals also provides a convenient and fun way for families to explore the expansive 38-acre property.

The strategic location of Lake Lacroix RV Resort offers more than just proximity to seasonal events. It serves as a gateway to the wider attractions of the Mississippi Gulf Coast, including the charming historic district of Bay St. Louis, with its unique shops and restaurants, as well as nearby casinos and fishing charters. The resort’s easy access from Interstate 10 makes it a convenient stop for travellers from across the region. At the same time, its secluded and natural environment provides a welcome escape from the hustle and bustle.

The expansion into the Hattiesburg area with Cypress Point RV Retreat is a direct response to the growing demand for premium RV camping experiences in Mississippi. The new resort will be developed with the same commitment to quality and family-friendly atmosphere that has made Lake Lacroix a beloved destination. It will feature similar amenities, including spacious sites, a clubhouse, and recreational opportunities tailored to its unique geographical setting. This move signifies a new chapter for Lake Lacroix RV Resort, solidifying its commitment to being a leader in Mississippi's outdoor hospitality industry.

Lake LaCroix RV Resort is a premier family camping destination located in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. Set on 38 acres and featuring a 10-acre lake, the resort offers 90 full-hookup RV sites, along with a wide range of amenities designed for relaxation and adventure.
