About Lake LaCroix RV Resort
A 38-acre lakeside park in Bay St. Louis that one family built by hand — dug the lake, planted the beach, wired every site. This is the story behind your basecamp on the Coast.
Come See the LakeAbout Lake LaCroix RV Resort
Lake LaCroix RV Resort is a family-built lakeside park on 38 acres of Bayou La Croix in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi — the kind of place where you pull in as a guest and leave feeling like a neighbor. We opened our gates in 2025, but the story starts a good while before that, with a shovel, a plan, and a whole lot of Hudson family sweat.
Mike Hudson bet the businesses on a lake
Mike Hudson and his family spent years running construction and real-estate businesses on the Gulf Coast. They knew how to move dirt and build things that last. What they wanted, though, was a place — somewhere their own family could gather, and where other families could too.
So they sold the businesses, bought 38 acres on Bayou La Croix, and got to work. No franchise blueprint, no corporate playbook. Just a family deciding to build the lakeside park they'd always wanted to visit.
They dug the lake, planted the beach, wired every site
That calm, spring-fed lake you'll paddle on? They dug it. The sandy beach where your kids will spend all afternoon? They planted it. Every concrete pad, every power pedestal, every foot of WiFi cable running out to the waterfront sites — the family laid it, one site at a time.
When something at Lake LaCroix works well, it's because someone in this family sweated the detail. That's the difference you feel the moment you roll through the gate.
- A lake dug and shaped by hand
- A real sandy freshwater beach
- 62 full-hookup sites, wired site by site
- Opened to guests in 2025
Four things we won't compromise on
A family built this park, and a family still runs it. That shapes how we do just about everything.
Family First
We build for families because we are one. Kids, grandparents, and dogs are all welcome here — and always will be.
Genuinely Welcoming
No velvet ropes, no attitude. You'll be greeted by name, pointed toward the good spots, and treated like you've been coming for years.
Built to Last
Construction people built this place. Level pads, solid infrastructure, and details done right the first time — not cut to hit a number.
Community Over Corporate
Decisions get made by people who live here, not a boardroom two states away. Neighbors, socials, bonfires — the good part of camping.
We didn't build a place to park. We built a place to gather — a lake to wake up to, a beach for the kids, a bonfire for the evening. Come settle in. You're already one of us.
Not a parking lot. Not a casino. Not a state park.
There are plenty of places to plug in on the Gulf Coast. Here's what sets a family-built lakeside resort apart.
The parking-lot park
Gravel rows, a shared fence line, and not much reason to leave your rig. You come for a night, and you're gone by morning.
The casino lot
Concrete, floodlights, and traffic all night. Fine if you're chasing the tables — a rough spot to bring the kids and the dog.
The state park
Pretty scenery, but limited hookups, spotty WiFi, and no pool, beach, or golf-cart ride to the pavilion.
Lake LaCroix
A real freshwater lake and sandy beach, full-hookup concrete sites, a pool, a dog park, year-round events — and a family who actually knows your name. Two minutes off I-10, halfway between New Orleans and the casinos.
Good to know about us
Who owns Lake LaCroix RV Resort?
Mike Hudson and his family. They sold their construction and real-estate businesses to build this 38-acre lakeside park in Bay St. Louis by hand, and they still run it today — you'll likely meet a Hudson during your stay.
When did the park open?
Lake LaCroix opened in 2025. It's a brand-new park with a fully built-out lake, sandy beach, pool, and 62 full-hookup RV sites — already rated 4.8 stars across 60+ Google reviews.
Is the lake really man-made?
Yes. The family dug and shaped the spring-fed lake and planted the sandy freshwater beach themselves. No Gulf surf, no casino noise — just calm water you can paddle, fish, and swim.
Where exactly are you located?
We're at 6130 Bayou La Croix Rd, Bay St. Louis, MS 39520 — about two minutes south of I-10 Exit 13, 10 to 15 minutes from Old Town Bay St. Louis, and roughly an hour from New Orleans. See our The Area page for drive times.
