The Army MWR manages this military recreation site on Toledo Bend Reservoir, operating year-round with full hookups for RVs up to 35 feet. Campers access the property by car or boat, with a concrete launch ramp connecting directly to the water. The facility includes yurts equipped with bunk beds, heating and air conditioning, plus mini fridges and coffee makers, though some reviewers note loose flooring tiles in these canvas-walled accommodations.
Fishing dominates recreational activities here, with boat rentals available for those without watercraft. The campground also features traditional RV sites with electric, water, and sewer connections, plus a playground for families. Fort Polk MWR South Toledo Bend sits just northwest for additional military camping options. Pet owners pay a one-time fee when staying in cabins or yurts.

Towels and bedding is not provided. Full hook-up and primitive recreational vehicle sites are available, some with water and full hook ups.
