Easy $25 for one night while traveling through west coast to east coast to relocate. We were doing hotel camping every other and this is one we decided on with its convenience to Walmart and many other food places. Ruston is also an adorable little downtown areas to explore and has that heart of Louisiana fill. It’s also close to west Monroe where Duck dynasty hometown so that was a fun plus to visit! We did stay in winter season with rain and cold. We have been tenting and enjoy being endured of all nature has so offer this has beautiful fishing hiking and a friendly camp host who was accommodating. They have wood for sale if needed. Water hookup ,electric hookup, showers bathrooms. Which we chose site 43 right next to the restroom house. I would love to come back when weather is better and we aren’t travel driving lagged to enjoy all it had to offer! You do receive a gate code when in person check in so if you book online see if you have received that too!

This place was quiet and very peaceful. We had our own fishing pier at our site. The bathroom were big and clean. Had A/C and the water was extremely hot.
ScoutTent Camped in Site 35. Perfect conditions. Woke up to peaceful morning and was able to get some mountain biking in. Bathrooms and facilities were top notch.

Our first camping trip. Great place to relax. Met several nice folks. Park is very clean and well kept. Asphalt pads are very nice. Nice playground for the kids.
GuideThis is our second time here. Decided to make a quick 2 night stay for Spring Break and this trip was as good as the first. The sites and bathrooms are kept up great. Don’t hesitate to plan a trip here.

and spent some time walking through the forest. We would go back again.
GuideWe only stayed one night but we will be coming back. There are only a couple of sites big enough for large rigs, but my 30' motorhome fit easy enough. There is no fee, a toilet and water available.
We had a beautiful sunset and sunrise with only nature sounds to listen to.
GuideMy nephew was playing in a baseball tournament in Ruston so we decided to stay for the weekend. It was nice to have a gate that closed at 6pm so you don’t have to worry about random people showing up. The park was very nice and clean. We had a pull through site that was nice but not a lot of room in any place for the pull throughs. Probably going to try a Premium back in next trip. We didn’t get to enjoy the trails or see the waterfall but we plan on going back so we can enjoy all of that.
GuideWe stayed at spot 32. It was a very quiet spot that had a lot of shade but still had a view of the water. Close to the restrooms but not much through traffic. Large wide spots with paved cement made it easy to park and level. Full hook ups were nice. Trash cans were at every other campsite. There are only 33 RV spots at the park so it makes for a great getaway with not a ton of people. The site had good Verizon cell service, 2 bars with about 40-50 mbps. The walking path around the lake was really nice. The bike trails were really fun. They even kayaks for rent on the lake for a reasonable price. Overall the campground had great amenities and made for a great weekend getaway. We camped at Lincoln Parish Park in a Travel Trailer.
TravelerReally enjoyed our stay. View from the lake at all spots. Premium spots are nice and wide. It’s a small campground, so not too busy. There are lots of great spots to be around the park and lots to do. Not far from a grocery store or gas station. I really liked how quiet and spacious spot 32 was, but the ones on the lake are really nice, too. We could hear coyotes at night, I would probably not go for a hike with a dog or a small child during their peak hours. If you like watching birds, this is a great park to do so.
RangerWe were looking for a place to stay overnight when we happened on this gem. We were on a deluxe double wide cement pad with full hookups on the water. Beautiful and quiet.
TravelerI cannot say enough about this RV park. We came through very late (12 pm) gave her a call and she got us taken care of! Very clean, well maintained, full hook ups and lots of extras! Unfortunately we weren’t there very long (7 hours), but we will be back!
GuideWe don’t have one complaint about our stay. The camp ground is very clean and in good shape. The pads are all asphalted so pretty level. Trash bins are at every other site and the bathroom is not a far walk. The temps are really hot but the bugs aren’t too bad. My family will be back!!
TravelerI rented a tent site, perfect location under the trees but enough room to see the stars at night. Although it was full it was fairly quiet. The showers, though not fancy by any means, we’re a nice touch after riding the mountain bike trails all day. Trails give you enough miles to get a good workout in but something (most) of the family could do together.
ScoutThere is no campground here.

Really relaxing site if you’re looking for primitive camping. The surround area was clean and beautiful. The abandoned camper seen in some older photos has been hauled away.
GuideSpot #29 is the best! Beautiful park, great fishing, kids loved the beach!
Ranger
This little park next to the campsite is a nice hangout spot shaded by the mature pines complete with a little pavilion, trash cans, bathrooms, fishing dock and boat ramp. Cool fog in October as well!
RangerQuiet spot with heavy tree cover - don’t expect good Solar charging or satellite. Fantastic lakeside views, especially in the morning. Water hook ups next to most spots and primitive toilets in the middle of the camp area.
Paved roads and semi level RV spots - great spot to stop for a few days!
ScoutWi-Fi did not work anywhere in park (signal Broadcasted fine just no connection to internet) AT&T is non existent.
Bathrooms clean. Park clean. Great views.
GuideEnjoyed our stay. Bathhouses were good.
GuideWhitetail deer, owls, fish/gar, butterflies, dragonflies, fireflies, and much more! Sites right on the Lake. Two Disc Golf Courses and hiking trails. Nice facilities with all lodging options from primitive tent, yurt, RV hookups, and cabins.
LegendWe went right after the Covid shelter in place order was lifted. Several others already there but nice and quiet. Fishing kayaking was fun. Walking was nice.

Kels Kove ls s hidden Gem, beautiful property alongside the lake. Very Friendly Staff and the property looks well taken care of. I met some really cool people and plan to visit a few times a year. They also have a country store with Beer, Alcohol, and all other essentials. ATT works best, Verizon and Tmobie are spotty reception. The lake is Big, try and get out on the water when visiting!
TravelerNo doubt about it, this park is beautiful. Apparently it’s known for its mountain biking and other trails, but camping here was wonderful. The park staff was super friendly and took pride in the work of keeping up the park. The Rv spots all had a great view of either the lake or the amazing woods. The on-site bathhouse was clean and well taken care of.
GuideGreat level clean sites, no sewer, dump station easy access. Store on site and ice onsite. Needs repairs desperately on the fishing docks very unsafe!
GuideGreat Lake spots no sewer on lake spots, no hot water last night in the bath house.
