Nice small parish park with bathroom/shower bldg., some campsites, & reasonable fees.  All is kept very clean.  Not a big tent camping area though.  Great location along Bayou Lacassine, with free public access boat ramp.  Very scenic area with cypress trees.  No hiking trails here, but great for canoeing, kayaking, fishing, birding.

Found this place by accident.  Its quiet, small and well hidden. The care takers are very helpful. It has clean showers and bathrooms,  although they are very utilitarian. It sits right next to the swamp, with a nice boat launch and dock. From what the locals tell me. There is great fishing, plenty of gators, and good hunting. 

Great little hidden gem

We intended to boondock on Rutherford Beach, but we were wholly unimpressed with the area. Spring burning, hurricane devastation, debris - just not a good time for that area. And when the Cameron Ferry turned us down (said the ferry ramp was too steep for our 21 ft Chinook Concourse - we’d rip apart our rear end when loading), we headed to this campground. Oh, what a find!  Adorable, quaint and just bayou lovely. Payment online or by calling the parish office. We lucked into the last available site in this 9-site campground. Sat along the bayou on a lovely deck and had a sweet happy hour. Water/electric hookups, dump station and clean showers. For $12!  Score!

Quiet, clean, delightful

For only $12 you get full hookups at a quiet campground. I felt very safe here. No one bothered me but a few friendly neighbors said hello.

Reservations were made online and there was no one to check in with when I got here. I had a nice quiet evening.

Exactly what I needed

Quiet and relaxing in the river with a beautiful bridge. Only a handful of sites but full hookups. Very clean camp areas, clean bathrooms and a nice pet area. Bring a fishing pole.
