Great location w/ amenities

We have camped here once before covid and attempted to after, but to the best of my knowledge the area has alot of closures still. If you are looking for a spot in Kisatchie NF with lots of amenities, this is your camping spot. You will be walking distance from the lake, showers, and flush toilets. The area seemed very crowded for my preferences during the day but at night I was kind of glad to have close neighbors. We are fairly certain we heard coyotes and possibly bobcats? We fell asleep to the sounds of the long pines swaying and dropping leaves. On another trip we took a little float in our inflatable kayak in the lake. Really a great spot, especially if you don't enjoy primitive camping. Also keep in mind there is a primitive camp also. They do not take online reservations so I suggest coming early during busy times.

Nice Campground When In Service

Unfortunately, the campground is closed and the area is only open to day use. Although, I believe the day use area is now closed for the winter.

The forest received serious impact from Hurricanes Laura and Delta in the fall of 2020. The campground has been closed since. I spoke to forest service personnel on site, in August of 2021. I inquired about the reopening of the campground and was told that they were projecting it to reopen in 2025.
