Built alongside a full-scale water park in the mid-1970s, Styx River Resort was the first of its kind along the Gulf Coast. The campground and water park proved to be winners with both the local population and the many campers traveling along Interstate 10 next to the resort. In 1983 it was turned into a private, timeshare membership campground and many improvements were made. A beautiful clubhouse, indoor pool, and camper accommodations were some of the improvements to the resort, and in 1988 it was transformed into the finest along the Gulf Coast. Styx River Resort has been "sold out" since 1994 and continues to sell a few timeshare memberships per year to cover members that have expired. More than 2400 member families are a part of Styx River Resort, with members residing in more than 32 different states including some from Canada & Europe. This diverse member base keeps Styx River Resort active and busy throughout the year with activities and timeshare amenities available to members of all ages, such as tube rentals, miniature golf, volleyball and basketball courts, shuffleboard, horseshoes, nature trails, and a children’s playground. Styx River Resort has developed into a full service resort community with twenty four hour security, sit down restaurant, beautifully appointed cabins, private meeting center, huge clubhouse, indoor/outdoor pools, indoor/outdoor spas, and pristine river with nature trails, canoeing & tubing.
