      Lake Claiborne State Park Campground

      Fantastic facilities

      I camped on two occasions while in north LA on business. Bath houses are new, clean and climate controlled. Plenty of sites to choose from when I stayed though all of the waterfront sites were taken. Family friendly, not rowdy. I’d take young kids without hesitation if mine weren’t grown.

      Beautiful beautiful beautiful place

      This is not my first time to visit but rapidly becoming a favorite. Each trip is different and I find different ways to get more out of the park. They have great hiking trails, sites by the lake, and now I’ve discovered the biking trails too. There’s disc golf, a tennis center and multiple playgrounds. You can camp out in the campground or stay in a cabin or lodge. They also have canvas tents on wooden decks that are super cute. I stayed in the RV for my visit and have both water and electric at my site.

      Resort like State Park

      Lots of amenities. Tennis courses, disc golf course, hiking/biking trails, swimming pool, cabins, lodges, several playgrounds, picnic areas, pavilions & WiFi. Very reasonable sites for $23/night unless you’re in the lakeside premium sites which are more. Laundry room next to the bath house and playground. I will definitely be back.

      Beautiful state park with something for everyone

      This lakeside state park has RV and tent camping, cabins, lodges and YURTS available. There are also day use pavilions available for family reunions, employee barbecues or birthday celebrations. You can also rent a meeting room in the visitors center.

      There are lots of recreational opportunities which include hiking, biking, fishing, canoe and kayak rentals, tennis courts and an 18-hole disc golf course. They also have a large hiking trail system. Closed right now but available Memorial Day through Labor Day weekend they also have a really large swimming pool. A tornado hit the park in March 2021 and there’s still some trees down and a brief section of the trail I walked on today that wasn’t accessible but it is an easy detour amazing how much they have restored.

      Stunning Views with Great Amenities

      We tent camp here in early Spring in the camping area #2 and comeback weekend after weekend. Many wonderfully marked hiking trails, two of the best frisbe golf courses in Louisiana. There's a nice little beach where the kids can play and a playground area as well. The bathrooms are clean and warm (welcome in the winter and spring). The pavement is well kept and great for kids to ride bikes or scooters. The King of the Moutain Trail is my favorite becaues of it's wooden bridge and tiny waterfall.

      awesome park

      Really nice like a resort. Tennis courts, swimming pool (closed for winter), horse shoe pit, laundry mat, disc golf, and awesome clean bathrooms. Very nice sites and BEAUTIFUL cabins. Great piers on a very nice lake with big, beautiful cypress trees. Just a beautiful, hilly campground on a gorgeous lake.. Lots of trails. They have been doing some improvements such as cutting trees while we were there but an awesome park!

      Lake D'Arbonne State Park — New Lake D'arbonne State Park

      Nice!

      Very nice state park for its size. Ice storm has had its way here but they are cleaning up nicely. Bath houses stayed super clean all weekend. Park hosts were very nice. Walking trails were very clean around lake with TentRR glamping being added. 4 lake front premium spots. We were kicking enough to have one. Piers are super nice. Place was packed this weekend but still very nice and quiet at night.


    Guide to Damascus

    Lake Claiborne State Park Campground and Lake D'Arbonne State Park offer distinctive glamping experiences in northern Louisiana. Lake Claiborne spans 6,400 acres with multiple campground areas featuring diverse accommodation options. The parks provide year-round access with peak seasons occurring during spring and fall when temperatures range from 65-85°F. Winter temperatures can drop to the 40s, making climate-controlled accommodations particularly valuable.

    What to do

    Disc golf courses: Lake Claiborne State Park features two well-maintained courses through wooded areas. "The King of the Mountain Trail is my favorite because of its wooden bridge and tiny waterfall," notes Sarah B. about one of the park's hiking trails that connects to the disc golf area.

    Kayaking cypress-lined waters: The lakes offer protected paddling routes ideal for beginners and experienced kayakers alike. A visitor to Lake D'Arbonne State Park shared, "We had a great time even with bad weather. Rained the entire weekend but we still had a blast on the trails and docks."

    Wildlife observation: Both parks offer abundant wildlife viewing opportunities beyond what's visible from main camping areas. "Secluded in the North Louisiana Farms, on Lake D'arbonne, with large forest trails. Immense campground with back to forest or lake front," explains Timothy H. about the park's layout that maximizes nature encounters.

    What campers like

    Clean, modern facilities: The bath facilities receive consistent praise for maintenance and comfort. One camper at Lake Claiborne State Park Campground mentioned, "Bath houses are new, clean and climate controlled. Plenty of sites to choose from when I stayed though all of the waterfront sites were taken."

    Fishing access: Dedicated fishing piers provide anglers easy lake access without requiring a boat. "Very pretty camping area. We stayed here at site 14. Had a long pier over the water, and plenty of space between campers," reports Cat R. about the lakefront fishing opportunities.

    Resort-like amenities: The parks offer unexpected amenities beyond standard campground features. A visitor to Lake D'Arbonne noted, "Tennis courses, disc golf course, hiking/biking trails, swimming pool, cabins, lodges, several playgrounds, picnic areas, pavilions & WiFi. Very reasonable sites for $23/night unless you're in the lakeside premium sites which are more."

    What you should know

    Limited connectivity: Cell service is restricted or nonexistent in most park areas. "Wi-Fi did not work anywhere in park (signal broadcasted fine just no connection to internet) AT&T is non-existent," reports Brent C. about Lake D'Arbonne State Park.

    Terrain challenges: Some sites require leveling equipment for RVs due to uneven ground. "Not level ground, but we managed with enough blocks to get it level. This was a back in site. Water and electric, no sewer, but had a dump station," explains a camper about their Lake Claiborne experience.

    Vegetation awareness: Native plants including poison ivy can be found around campsites. "Very nice campground, great area for kids. Campsite was right on the lake and had a gorgeous sunset. Bathrooms werent the greatest but still good. The only really bad thing was that there was poison ivy all around our campsight," warns Sam B.

    Tips for camping with families

    Beach and swimming options: The parks feature designated swimming areas with gradual entry points. "There's a nice little beach where the kids can play and a playground area as well. The bathrooms are clean and warm (welcome in the winter and spring)," mentions a visitor to Frank Anthony RV Park.

    Paved paths for activities: Many campground roads are ideal for children's bikes and scooters. "The pavement is well kept and great for kids to ride bikes or scooters," notes a Lake Claiborne camper about the family-friendly layout.

    Premium sites selection: Waterfront sites offer the best experience but require advance booking. "Four lake front premium spots. We were lucky enough to have one. Piers are super nice," explains Bruce F. about securing the most desirable family camping locations.

    Tips from RVers

    Hookup variations: Lakefront sites often have different utility configurations than standard sites. "Great Lake spots no sewer on lake spots, no hot water last night in the bath house," mentions Aleia B. about the tradeoff between lake views and full hookups at Lake Claiborne.

    Seasonal considerations: Winter camping offers quiet settings but may come with facility limitations. "Really nice like a resort. Tennis courts, swimming pool (closed for winter), horse shoe pit, laundry mat, disc golf, and awesome clean bathrooms," notes Steve S. about off-season glamping in Louisiana.

    Site spacing comfort: The campgrounds feature well-designed site placement with adequate privacy. "Very nice sites and BEAUTIFUL cabins. Great piers on a very nice lake with big, beautiful cypress trees. Just a beautiful, hilly campground on a gorgeous lake," shares an RVer about the spacious layout that accommodates larger rigs without feeling crowded.
