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

      peace, quietness and lake views

      Love it here, has laundry, great views, nice and quiet😍 Passing thru La, State parks are our faves. Here for 2 nights, had nice hot showers, our clothes washed, and played some golf, and explored our second day. We have water and electric, have seen some campsites with full hook up. We close to the lake, with lots of trees for shade!

      White Oak Lake State Park Campground

      Quiet and spacious

      $57 for 2 nights. Park has wifi. Our spot had 30 amp/water, a firepit, picnic table, and grill. It also had a swing! Excellent bank fishing all through the park but unfortunately we didnt catch anything. Saw lots of little bluegill and baby bass. We even rented a peddle boat ($10/hr) and tried exploring more areas. Still no bites and the peddle boat kicked our butts, it was so hot, and no shade. Bathrooms were far from most sites but have air conditioning which is uncommon.

      White Oak Lake State Park Campground

      Nice facility with great staff

      This place is beautiful and serene. Peaceful and quiet. Tent camping in the summer is no longer for me though. Cabin or camper for summer time from now on. Tina at the office is informative and the sweetest! We loved talking with her.

      Moro Bay State Park Campground

      Perfect Overnight

      I needed a place to come in late that was safe and quiet. This spot is perfect. Expensive but worth it for the cleanliness and safety.

      Moro Bay State Park Campground

      Great little place

      Quiet if you get a stop in the back area. Drove the other side and was close to highway so not sure on noise. Have a spot to rent boats and bikes and a few nice trails. Spot we had was perfectly level.

      Corney Lake South Shore Campground

      Wooded, Lake Views

      Old campground along pretty lake in a national forest. Clean; the grounds are well maintained. The campground is confusing. Campsites are not marked. Looks like it was initially developed as a tent campground. There are shared vehicle parking pads; sites are not actually next to these - need to walkin a little. RV campers can probably park on the parking pads and walk to nearby picnic tables. Some sites have metal fire rings and lantern poles near picnic tables. Otherwise, it appears that previous campers had open campfires. Hammock camping is possible in a few areas. Clean his/hers vault toilet with tp and hand sanitizer. Water pumps scattered throughout campground; water was turned on duirng my stay. Sites in the middle of the campground are level; others slope down a little toward the lake. Sites are grass surfaces. No tent pads. No RV driveways to individual sites. Quiet, peaceful. No fee. Day Use area with fishing pier nearby. Partial shade; solar charging and Starlink access may be a challenge. Sporadic AT&T and T-Mobile service. Overall, this is a nice campground. I was the only camper during the nights I camped hare. A local resident stopped by to check up on me.

    Guide to Jersey

    Moro Bay State Park Campground spans 117 acres at the confluence of Moro Bay and Raymond Lake on the Ouachita River. Located in southern Arkansas, the area maintains moderate temperatures in spring and fall with summer highs regularly reaching 90°F. The surrounding forested terrain transitions between pine and hardwood ecosystems, supporting diverse wildlife populations alongside water recreation opportunities.

    What to do

    Boat rentals and water activities: Visitors at White Oak Lake State Park Campground can rent boats and fishing gear for lake exploration. "The lake has many activities for swimming, paddle boating, and fishing. The shallow lake allows long-dead trees' trunks to stick out of the water, creating a unique environment," notes Brad C.

    Wildlife viewing opportunities: The Ouachita River basin provides excellent bird and wildlife watching. Campers at Lake D'Arbonne State Park often spot native species. "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., highlighting the natural setting.

    Seasonal holiday celebrations: Holiday-themed camping events occur throughout the year. "We had site 8 and 9 for children and grandchildren weekend before Halloween 2020... great fishing," reports Steve S., describing the family-friendly atmosphere and themed celebrations at Moro Bay.

    What campers like

    Well-maintained facilities: Campers appreciate the upkeep of Cane Creek State Park Campground. "The camp sites were very nice, all had either 30 amp or 50 amp electric hook ups and water. The electricity was super convenient with having the space heater in the tent," shares Chris V., noting the convenience for cold-weather camping.

    Uncrowded camping experience: Many campers value the peaceful atmosphere at Corney Lake South Shore Campground. "We were the only ones there and had the place to ourselves. Water available near every site," Jim mentions, appreciating the solitude. The campground provides a less crowded alternative for pet owners seeking quiet surroundings.

    Level camping sites: RV campers consistently note the level, accessible sites. "All the sites were concrete and level. Most sites had nice level tent pads as well," reports Melody F. about Cane Creek State Park Campground, highlighting an important feature for vehicle-based camping.

    What you should know

    Distance to supplies and services: Emergency pet supplies require planning ahead. "El Dorado about 23 miles away for groceries/supplies/liquids. Camp store on site has basics, like ice and firewood," explains Bob M. when describing Chemin-A-Haut State Park.

    Seasonal weather considerations: Summer heat affects camping comfort significantly. "It had to be (or feel like) 10 deg cooler with the breeze of off the lake," notes Jim about Corney Lake, describing how water proximity moderates temperatures for pets and campers alike.

    Varying cellular service quality: Internet connectivity varies greatly between campgrounds. "No tent pads. No RV driveways to individual sites. Quiet, peaceful. No fee. Sporadic AT&T and T-Mobile service," reports Fred S. about primitive camping options at Corney Lake South Shore.

    Tips for camping with families

    Playground accessibility: Some campgrounds offer better playground access than others. "We had site 8 and 9 for children and grandchildren... bathrooms and showers right across the street very well kept park with playground and volleyball court," Steve S. mentions about their stay at Moro Bay.

    Educational opportunities: Wildlife viewing provides learning opportunities for children. "We did not get to walk the trail as it rained on us most of the time we were there," explains Melody F., emphasizing the importance of backup activities at Silver Eagle RV Campground during inclement weather.

    Budget-friendly activities: Many parks offer affordable rental options for family activities. "This park has it all! You can rent bikes, kayaks, pedal boats and small fishing boats," notes Melissa about Moro Bay, highlighting cost-effective recreation options suitable for all ages.

    Tips from RVers

    Site selection for size requirements: Choose appropriately sized sites based on your RV dimensions. "There are only a couple of sites big enough for large rigs, but my 30' motorhome fit easy enough," advises Lea B. about camping at Corney Lake South Shore.

    Hookup availability varies: Different campgrounds provide varying levels of utility connections. "RV Sites are really nice- all of them are almost perfectly level, Each has a pad for tents, fire ring, bbq, lamp hanging post," Lisa P. explains about the site amenities at pet friendly camping areas near Jersey, Arkansas.

    Weather preparedness: RV campers should prepare for temperature fluctuations. "Quiet spot with heavy tree cover - don't expect good Solar charging or satellite," cautions Cultivating Fire L. about Corney Lake, noting important considerations for power management when camping with pets.
