Mississippi Gulf Coast Glamping
on the Bayou
A furnished bell tent on a wooden deck, steps from the water — real bed made up, chairs on the porch, firepit close by. No RV, no gear, no setup. Just show up and settle in.
📞 Call to Book a TentCamping on the Coast, without the camping part
Mississippi Gulf Coast glamping at Lake LaCroix means you get the lakeside campfire and the golden-hour sunsets — without owning a tent, a camper, or a single tent stake. Our furnished bell tents sit on their own wooden decks along Bayou La Croix in Bay St. Louis, made up and ready the moment you arrive. Bring a bag and a good mood; we've handled the rest.
Canvas walls, a real bed, and a lake out front
Step through the flap of your bell tent and it feels less like camping and more like a little room with a view. A proper bed, soft light, a place to sit — and a deck out front where the coffee tastes better because the bayou is right there.
Zip the canvas open in the morning and the lake is your alarm clock. Close it at night and let the firepit and the cicadas do the rest. It's the easiest way to sleep outside without giving anything up.

Everything's set before you get here. Here's what you walk into.
A Real Bed
A comfortable made-up bed with fresh linens — no air mattress, no sleeping bag on the ground.
Seating & Cozy Touches
Comfy seating inside plus soft lighting and warm décor that make the canvas feel like home.
Your Own Deck & Porch
A private wooden deck out front with chairs — your spot for morning coffee and slow evenings.
Firepit Nearby
A campfire spot close by for s'mores after dark — the best part of any night on the bayou.
Just bring the basics
Pack a bag, your favorite snacks, and swimsuits for the pool and beach. Everything that makes the tent a tent is already waiting for you.
Three steps to a night on the lake
Book your tent
Pick your dates and reserve online in about a minute — same easy Check Availability button, no deposit of gear required.
Roll in empty-handed
Two minutes off I-10 Exit 13, check in, and walk to a tent that's already made up and waiting on the water.
Settle in and exhale
Drop your bag, grab a chair on the deck, and let the lake take it from there. Pool, beach, and firepit are all a short stroll away.
The porch is the whole point
There's a certain kind of quiet you only get on a deck by the water — coffee in hand, feet up, nowhere to be. Watch the mist lift off the bayou, listen to the paddlers push off, and let the day start on your terms.
By afternoon you can walk to the sandy beach, borrow a kayak, or find a lounger by the pool. By night, you're back at the firepit with a marshmallow on a stick.
Comfortable enough to actually sleep
This is the part first-time campers don't expect: you sleep well. A real bed, room to move, and the soft sound of the lake instead of highway noise. Zip up against the evening cool, string up the lights, and it feels like your own little hideaway.
Traveling as a group? Book tents side by side and make a weekend of it — girls' trips and couples' getaways love the lineup along the water.
Made for the almost-campers
If the idea of camping sounds great but the gear sounds like a chore, this is your speed.
Couples
A lakeside getaway with none of the setup — just the two of you, a firepit, and a sky full of stars over the bayou.
Girls' Trips
Line up a few tents by the water, bring the good snacks, and let the pool, beach, and porch chairs do the planning for you.
First-Time Campers
All the outdoors, none of the guesswork. Everything's provided, so your first night under canvas is an easy yes.
New Orleans Weekenders
About an hour from the French Quarter — swap the city for the lake, or use us as an easy basecamp for both.
We'd never camped a day in our lives. Showed up with a duffel bag, slept great, and spent the whole weekend on the deck watching the water. Already planning the next one.
Everything you're wondering
Do I need an RV?
Not at all — that's the whole idea. Our glamping tents at Lake LaCroix are fully furnished bell tents on their own wooden decks, so there's no RV, camper, or tent of your own required. Show up with a bag and you're set.
How far is it from New Orleans?
About an hour. Lake LaCroix sits in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, just two minutes off I-10 Exit 13 — an easy drive from New Orleans and a favorite quick escape for city weekenders who want the lake instead of the crowds.
What's provided in the tent?
Your tent comes with a real made-up bed and fresh linens, comfortable seating, cozy lighting and décor, and a private deck with chairs out front. A firepit is close by for evening s'mores. You bring clothes, toiletries, snacks, and swimsuits — we handle the rest.
Is it good for families?
Yes. Kids love the novelty of sleeping in a tent on the water, and the resort has a swimming pool, sandy beach, playground, and year-round events close by. If you'd rather have more indoor room, our RV sites are another way to stay — but plenty of families make a fun weekend out of the tents.
Can I bring my dog?
We love dogs at Lake LaCroix, and there's a fenced dog park on the property. Because our tents are furnished, pet policies for glamping can vary — give us a call at (228) 220-1704 before you book so we can set you and your pup up right.
Glamping's just one option
Rolling in with your own rig, or thinking about a whole season on the Coast? We've got you either way.
Your tent on the lake is ready
No gear, no setup, no stress — just a made-up bed on the bayou and a firepit waiting. Weekends go fast.
