If you have been searching for a lazy river near you in Louisiana, you have found it.
Float the Lazy River
There is nothing like drifting around our winding lazy river on a hot Louisiana afternoon. The river overlooks the pond and circles through the heart of the resort, so you are never far from shade, a lounge chair, or the swim-up bar.
Grab a tube, float at your own pace, and let the day melt away. The lazy river is one of the things that makes Fireside more than just an RV park. It is a true resort.
- Winding lazy river overlooking the pond
- Free for every Fireside guest
- Open year-round (water is not heated)
- Inner tubes and floats welcome
The Swim-Up Bar and Adults-Only Pool
When the kids are happy in the family pool, grown-ups can slip away to the adults-only pool and pull up a stool at the swim-up bar. It is the easiest way to order a cold drink without ever leaving the water.
An RV park with a swim-up bar is a rare find. At Fireside it comes standard, right alongside the lazy river.
- Adults-only pool (21 and older)
- Swim-up bar
- Frozen cocktails and cold drinks
- Relax while the kids play nearby
The Family Pool
The center pool is where families spread out and the kids splash for hours. Wide steps, a shallow end, and plenty of room mean everyone has a place to cool off.
Ring the pool with lounge chairs and shaded spots and you have the perfect home base for a full day at the water.
- Center family pool
- Shallow, kid-friendly entry
- Lots of poolside lounge chairs
- Shaded spots close by
Float the Lazy River
Take a lap around the winding lazy river that overlooks the pond. Grab a tube and float as long as you like.
Cool Off in the Pools
Splash in the family center pool or relax poolside in the shade. Open year-round, weather permitting.
Relax at the Swim-Up Bar
Pull up to the swim-up bar at the adults-only pool and order a cold one without leaving the water.
Built for the Whole Family
From toddlers in the shallows to grandparents floating the lazy river, our pools and water park are made for every age. Spend the morning in the water, the afternoon under the pines, and the evening around the campfire.
