Baton Rouge KOA accommodates pets at all camping sites including tent spaces, RV hookups, and pet-friendly cabins. Most campgrounds in the Baker area maintain standard pet policies requiring leashes no longer than 6 feet, proper waste disposal, and limitations on pets being left unattended. The tent sites at this KOA are notably small, though the property features a dedicated dog park area that receives positive mentions from visitors. Farr Park RV Campground provides pet-friendly accommodations with water and electric hookups on grassy sites. Campers note the campground maintains clean facilities while offering proximity to outdoor recreation along the Mississippi River levee bike path.
Leashed dogs can access the paved trail system along the Mississippi River levee near Farr Park, allowing for exercise with scenic views. The extensive pathway connects to downtown Baton Rouge approximately 3 miles away, making it convenient for dog owners wanting longer walks. During summer months, early morning or evening walks are recommended due to Louisiana's heat and humidity affecting pets. While camping at these locations, pet owners should be prepared for limited shade at some sites, particularly at Farr Park where afternoon shade is primarily available in row E. Nearby veterinary services can be found within driving distance of both campgrounds, though it's advisable to research specific locations before arrival.

They offer regular pull thru spots with both 30 and 50 amp full hook ups and deluxe with a fire ring and patio space. The campground and bath house are kept clean and there is even a dog park for your furry camping friends.
GuideBeautifully kept resort with nice full hook up camspots, fences in dog park, pools for adults and kids, camp store, bar, grill, lake and hot tub. Also have nice facilities for showers and laundry that takes credit cards ( yay, no need for quarters). The only downside for me is they played music so loud at the outdoor bar that my ears hurt and could carry on a conversation. Our site next to dog park which was cute but a lot of excited dog barking from sun up to sun down.

GuideShort stay or long stay?? They are great for either. We stayed for 6 days. Loved the fishing. Love the site. Loved the people. We cannot wait to come back here. Sewer, electric, and water worked perfect. Dog park. Laundry was spotless. Crazy Cajuns get rowdy on weekends at the clubhouse. Join them you won’t regret it. If anything watch for amazing sunsets and sunrises!
TravelerThere are derelict travel trailers laying around. It smells of sewer. When it rains it is very muddy, with ankle deep water. One of the managers drives around on a golf cart, harassing the tenets. Knocking on doors in the middle of the night. There is a dirty old man, who lives there, he preys on women. The managers outside dog has heartworm, keep your pet safe. You have to pay $10 per person a day to use the pool. They charge $10 per person per day to fish in the lake, no fish.
TravelerBeautiful, quiet western theme park. Horses, petting zoo, playground, pool

They do have multiple swimming pools including a water playground and splash pad. There is a huge hot tub. We especially loved the 21+pool with swim up bar. Water Amenities are open from March 29th-October 26th. You can also rent poolside cabanas. They have a few smaller ponds for catch & release fishing.

Bugs were a little bit of an issue and bug spray was definitely needed.
There were no trails to hike in the campground but the park is so huge, it is a great walk within itself.
We shopped at the local market outside of the park and the Piggly Wiggly. We went on the Cajun Food Tour and definitely recommend this (link on CM’s website).
GuideSo many employees yet the bathrooms were dirty and trash was on the ground. Many bbq stands were broken and tent pads under water. Otherwise, camp was good. Way off the beaten path, quiet, spacious, lots of water which means lots of mosquitoes. Camp host had pet off leash so rules are not followed. Great discounts for military.
ScoutBeautiful grounds and very friendly people. Tons of activities for kids and adults! Pet friendly! And each site is set up great and all the grounds are clean!
