Welcome

Tucked along the Chickasawhay River near Leakesville, Mississippi, Chickasawhay Hideaway is the kind of place where a weekend turns into a favorite family tradition. Splash down our giant floating water park, drift the Lazy River, paddle the river by kayak or canoe, or just pitch a tent under the trees. However you like to unwind, we’ve got a spot for you — and a plate of good food waiting at the Haven Bar & Grill when you’re done.

The Chickasawhay River is the heart of this place, and we make it easy to get out on it

Rent a kayak, canoe, or tube and spend an afternoon on the water, or book a river excursion that runs anywhere from a couple of hours to a couple of days. Our overnight trips cover about 20 miles as the crow flies — but with all the river’s twists and bends, plan on paddling double that before you finish, it’s downstream and not that difficult.

Camping

Primitive & Tent Camping

If you like your nights under the stars and your mornings with birdsong, our primitive camping area is built for you.

With over 100 spots tucked into the surrounding nature, there’s plenty of room to spread out, build a fire, and enjoy the woods on your own terms — just bring your tent and gear.

Want nature without giving up a roof and a bed?

Our 11 themed cabins sleep 4 to 6 people and put you close to the river, the water park, and everything else Chickasawhay Hideaway has to offer — a comfortable middle ground between camping and a hotel room.

RV Parking with Full Hook-Ups

Bringing your own rig?

We’ve got 70 RV spots with full hook-ups, including both back-in and pull-through options, so parking the biggest coach or trailer is one less thing to worry about on your trip.

Chickasaw Waves Water Park

Our main attraction is a giant inflatable water park floating right on our huge freshwater pond — a whole afternoon of climbing, jumping, and cannonballing waiting to happen.

The Lazy River

Grab a tube, or just float along on your own, and let the Lazy River do the work. There’s a swim-up bar for drinks, and you can even order food delivered poolside straight from the Haven Bar & Grill next door — relaxation, handled.

Street Racin’ Haven

Fast cars, fat rubber, and a whole lot of fun come together on our 1/8th-mile drag strip. Street Racin’ Haven doesn’t run every week — it’s reserved for select dates and events — so check back here or follow our Facebook page to catch the next one.

The Haven Bar & Grill

Good food that won’t break the bank, and a good time to go with it. Whether you’re here for line dancing, a live band, the game on TV, or trying something new off the drink menu, the Haven Bar & Grill delivers — and with the Lazy River and Water Park right next door, it’s the perfect place to refuel.

Plan Your Trip

Not sure where to start? Our trip planner walks you through a few quick questions — who’s coming, how long you’re staying, where you want to sleep, and what you’re most excited to do — and points you toward the perfect Chickasaw Waves and Chickasawhay Hideaway, getaway.
