This Swimming Hole Campground In Mississippi Is A Perfect Summertime Oasis

Summer is just around the corner, and you don’t want to let the season pass by without a visit to D’Lo Water Park. More like a summertime oasis than a water park, it includes a swimming hole that’s perfect for cooling off on a hot day. Even better, there’s a campground that offers primitive and RV sites as well as cabins, which means you can easily extend your stay. Take a look:

Dubbed "one of Mississippi’s best kept secrets," D’Lo Water Park is situated on the banks of Strong River in the small town of Mendenhall.

Not your typical water park, this one doesn’t include any slides or thrilling rides. What it does offer, though, is plenty of opportunities for outdoor fun, including swimming, canoeing, and...

...and camping. In addition to 24 RV sites and several primitive camp sites, D'Lo Water Park has a cabin that's available for rent.

A perfect summertime visit, the park is centered around Strong River, which features cool, flowing water that’s perfect for a refreshing dip.

Rather shallow near the banks, the river is relatively easy to access.

Not only is the water cool, it's pretty clear. At first glance, the water appears brown; however, that's actually the bottom of the river.

The river’s broad rock formations create chutes, pools, and Jacuzzis, making for a truly unique swimming experience, especially here in Mississippi, where such formations are rather rare.

Offering the perfect combination of peaceful seclusion and seasonal fun, D'Lo Water Park is a hidden gem worth seeking out.
