As if camping isn’t a great activity on its own, add a waterpark to the mix and you’ve got one incredibly fun combination. Luckily, a place like this actually exists. Even better, it’s right here in Mississippi. Take a look:
Buccaneer State Park is located in Waveland, near the Gulf of Mexico.
Time and again, it’s been ranked one of the best campgrounds in Mississippi. And that probably has something to do with its bevy of amenities, which includes a waterpark.
Aside from a standard pool and a kiddie pool, there’s also a wave pool, which can generate up to eight different wave patterns. Grab an inner tube and get ready to ride waves up to 6’ high!
One of the best parts about the park is the fact that it includes a campground, so you don’t have to head all the way home after a day of fun in the sun.
Don’t have an RV or maybe you’d just rather pitch a tent? No problem; there’s also a primitive campground, which is situated on a grassy field overlooking the Gulf.
Visit Buccaneer State Park at 1150 S. Beach, Blvd., Waveland, MS 39576. For more information, call (228) 467-3822 or head on over to the park’s website.
