As if camping isn’t a great activity on its own, add a waterpark to the mix and you’ve got one incredibly fun combination. Luckily, a place like this actually exists. Even better, it’s right here in Mississippi. Take a look:

Buccaneer State Park is located in Waveland, near the Gulf of Mexico.

Aside from a standard pool and a kiddie pool, there’s also a wave pool, which can generate up to eight different wave patterns. Grab an inner tube and get ready to ride waves up to 6’ high!

Or, climb the 40’ tower and choose between an open or completely enclosed waterslide.

One of the best parts about the park is the fact that it includes a campground, so you don’t have to head all the way home after a day of fun in the sun.
