Families can also enjoy fishing areas, playgrounds, mini golf, gem mining, golf cart rentals, waterslides, splash pads, a giant jumping pillow, swimming pools, laundry facilities, and an on-site café. Resort officials are also adding a brand-new bar area near the pavilion to enhance the live music experience for concertgoers this summer.

Throughout the summer months, the resort hosts concerts featuring popular Louisiana artists performing everything from Cajun and Zydeco to country and Swamp Pop music.
