Snowbird & Long-Term Stays
on the Gulf Coast
Trade the cold for mild winters on the bayou. Slow mornings by the lake, a community of neighbors who feel like family, and the whole Gulf Coast — beaches, casinos, and New Orleans — a short drive away.
Call (228) 220-1704A whole season of easy on the bayou
Snowbird and long-term stays at Lake LaCroix are about the life, not just the site. Down here in Bay St. Louis, the winters stay mild, the mornings come slow off a spring-fed lake, and your neighbors know your name by week two. You're two minutes off I-10 and halfway between New Orleans and the casinos — so a season on the Coast means the whole region is yours to wander, then home to the quiet of the lake at day's end. Lake LaCroix is a snowbird and long-term RV park where Gulf Coast winters stay mild and the lake is always out your door.
Coffee, the lake, and nowhere to be
There's a rhythm to a winter down here. The mist lifts off the water, someone's already out on a paddleboard, and the day opens up in front of you with no rush in it. Grab a chair by the lake, watch golden hour roll in over the bayou, and remember what unhurried feels like.
This is the part snowbirds come back for — not the errands, not the drive, but the slow, warm days that string together into a whole easy season.
Warm enough to stay outside
While the rest of the country scrapes ice off the windshield, you're on the water. Paddle the bayou, drop a line for redfish and speckled trout, take the golf cart down to the beach, or just find a lounger in the winter sun. The mild Gulf Coast winters mean the outdoors stays open all season long.
- Kayak & paddle the bayou
- Inshore fishing nearby
- Sandy beach & pool
- Golf-cart cruising
Neighbors who feel like family
A long stay here isn't a parking lot — it's a little neighborhood on the water, built by a family and full of folks who look out for one another.
A Real Neighborhood
Wave from the porch, share a fish fry, borrow a cup of something — the kind of place where you know your neighbors.
Bonfires & Socials
Snowbird socials, bonfire s'mores, and lakeside movie nights keep the calendar full all winter.
Year-Round Events
Mardi Gras on the bayou, a spring fishing rodeo, crawfish boils — there's always something on.
The whole Coast, from one home base
Settle in once and the best of the Gulf Coast is a short drive away — the perfect basecamp for a season of day trips.
Old Town Bay St. Louis
Galleries, the Second Saturday Artwalk, Gulf-to-table dining, and the harbor — 10-15 minutes away.
Beaches & Casinos
Gulf beaches, plus Silver Slipper and Hollywood casinos just up the road for a night out.
New Orleans Day Trip
About an hour to the French Quarter — go for the day, be back at the lake by nightfall.
From arrival to farewell
However long you stay, the season fills itself in.
Ease in
Roll in as the heat breaks, catch Fall Fest and Cruisin' the Coast in October, and settle into your spot on the water.
Warm & slow
Snowbird socials, bonfires, and Christmas on the Bayou — mild days on the lake while the north freezes.
Let the good times roll
Mardi Gras on the bayou plus the Krewe of Nereids parade in nearby Bay St. Louis every February.
Get on the water
The spring fishing rodeo, warming mornings, and prime paddling before the season winds down.
The everyday stuff
Pool laps, beach afternoons, dog-park runs, golf-cart cruises, and coffee on the porch — the daily rhythm.
We came for the mild winter and stayed for the people. Mornings on the lake, potlucks under the pavilion, New Orleans an hour away when we want it. This is our spot now.

Questions from the winter crowd
How mild are the winters in Bay St. Louis?
Gulf Coast mild. Bay St. Louis winters are gentle enough that snowbirds spend most days outdoors — on the lake, at the beach, or on the porch. It's a big reason folks trade a northern winter for a season at Lake LaCroix.
What's the community like for long-term guests?
Warm and neighborly. Lake LaCroix was built by the Hudson family, and it has the feel of a small lakeside neighborhood — snowbird socials, bonfires, potlucks, and year-round events where long-term guests get to know one another quickly.
Is Lake LaCroix a good base for exploring the Coast?
Ideal. You're two minutes off I-10 Exit 13, 10-15 minutes from Old Town Bay St. Louis, close to Gulf beaches and casinos, and about an hour from New Orleans. Settle in once and day-trip the whole region all season.
What is there to do all season?
Plenty. On-site there's the pool, sandy beach, dog park, kayaking, and a full events calendar — from Mardi Gras on the bayou to the spring fishing rodeo. Off-site you've got fishing, golf, the arts scene in Old Town, and New Orleans for a day trip.
