Oxford, Mississippi has launched a new recreational destination with the opening of the Roundabout Oxford RV and Water Resort. This $25 million facility is situated on an expansive 85 acres along Highway 278, designed to provide a unique experience for families in the area.
The resort has the capacity to accommodate up to 150 RVs. It features a variety of water attractions, including slides, pools, and a lazy river aptly named the Swayze River. While incorporating thrilling water elements, the resort is distinctively positioned as an RV park complemented by water attractions rather than a traditional water park. This setup encourages visitors to engage in a comfortable and family-friendly environment.
Visitors to Roundabout Oxford RV and Water Resort are required to own an RV or rent one of the unique cottages available on the property. Each cottage is designed to sleep up to six guests and includes full access to all amenities within the resort. The park’s management emphasizes the importance of reservations, which are mandatory for those wishing to visit.
The resort offers a range of additional recreational facilities, including pickleball courts, basketball courts, mini-golf, an arcade room, and numerous community spaces. Nature enthusiasts can enjoy scenic walking trails, yoga decks, and sensory paths specifically designed for children on the autism spectrum. The aim is to create a safe space where children can explore, ride bicycles, and partake in traditional campfire activities such as making s’mores.
Co-owners Jay and Cris Hughes, along with Drs. Andrew and Allison Ross, conceptualized and developed the resort to foster a sense of community and family, reminiscent of traditional gatherings centered around outdoor activities. To enhance local engagement, a “Park and Play” option will be introduced shortly, allowing local residents to visit the park daily from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
An open house event is scheduled for May 4, where potential visitors will have the opportunity to tour the resort and learn more about its offerings. Given the novelty of the resort, specific rules and restrictions have been implemented to ensure the safety and enjoyment of all guests during their stay.
For those interested in more information or reserving their spot at Roundabout Oxford RV and Water Resort, the facility has established an online presence featuring a user-friendly website. This will enable potential visitors to easily access booking options and learn about the various attractions available on-site.
As Oxford, Mississippi, continues to grow and develop, the opening of this innovative RV and water resort presents an exciting option for families seeking fresh outdoor experiences and recreational activities designed to create lasting memories.
