The Best Camping Near Provencal, Louisiana

Inside the Kisatchie National Forest, Kisatchie District. This campground is aptly named. It is about 5 miles off of the main road, down a red dirt road. There is trail access from this campground. It is very small, with vault toilets and no water. No specific sites and lots of shade. It's a little eerie to be all the way out here. The trail access is why you stay here. The boys loved riding bikes down these dusty roads. The piece and quiet and views were great. Lots of wildlife in these trees.

Down a long red dirt road

We camped here with a small group including 2 couples, one kid, and 2 dogs.  It rained all day until right when we arrived but we weren't about to let that ruin a much needed weekend.  That said the bayou was VERY high, and the site was very wet.  But nothing irks me more than reviews of various parks and campgrounds getting docked stars because nature is outside! That said the first night was a little challenging, but that is largely why we love camping, the challenges.  It is fun to find solutions as a group, and with kids.  We just surrounded our fire pit with leaves and pine needles to help dry the area and we were good to go.  There are vault toilets in the parking lot, but they are quite a walk from the bayou, and the area we camped, heads up if that is a deal breaker.  All in all Red Bluff has been one our favorite sites.  It is very remote and secluded, which we loved.

Primitive retreat

Limit:  14 days

There is a short walk in only 1/4 mile but the peace is well worth the hike.  At the beginning you will find a pit toilet and trash.  No water.  Bare bones is that is what you are looking for.  I will be honest and say that there are more sites in this National Forest where I would rather stay and they are also primitive.
