Pull through site. On grass. Level. With water and 59 amp. Easy to get to. First come first serve so you can come as early as you like and then spend a full day exploring LSU and Baton Rouge. Friendly staff. Wifi at the recreation center. Horses grazing in near by paddock. Easy to bike on the levee to LSU and Baton Rouge.
GuideThis campground is so romantic with coral sunsets and country vibes. Spots are spacious and not crowded so you can spread out. Great paths for walking. Its hot but the bugs are not overwhelming. Close to the college and downtown. Perfect views of the horses I could watch them all day. 30/50 amp electric, water, pull through sites. No sewage but there is a dump station to empty on way out. Bathrooms have restrooms and showers available. 8/10.
RangerOne of the better RV parks in the BR area (there's not many close to town). Has electric and water hookups, but no sewer hookup. The Mississippi River is nearby. There is a paved bike path on top of the river levee that you can ride all the way to downtown Baton Rouge. It is only 3 miles from LSU campus. Some people stay here to tailgate for LSU football games.
Farr Park is part of the Baton Rouge Parks and Recreation system. It is also an equestrian (horse) center. There are stables and riding arenas near the campground.
There is a dump station available. The dump station connection for your sewer hose is at a 45 degree angle and a bit above ground level. This creates sags in your hose. Also, there is no way to secure or screw in your connection to the sump station. The station does have a concrete pad and non-potable water. You can use the dump station for free if you are a camper. Non-campers can pay a $10 fee to dump.
ScoutEnjoyed my time here. Peaceful setting with a pool! Wagon ride for kids, pond, ducks, mule was cute!
TravelerI would suggest BREC Farr Equestrian RV Park if you are interested in being close Baton Rouge or LSU. A typical fairgrounds type camping area. Sites have electric and water. Remote dump site available. Bike path trailhead is there, with extensive pathways on the levee.
RangerCounty equestrian and RV park close to downtown. Stayed here recently while attending an LSU football game. They have a shuttle that provides round trips to the stadium. Nothing fancy about Farr Park, just convenient if you love horses and football.
GuideNot bad. It's connected to an equestrian center. If horses are your thing it's perfect. 2 miles from LSU, 3 miles from Baton Rouge, biking trails along Mississippi River levee. Water and electric, dump station, and a bathhouse. The bad... not many trees or wildlife other than horses. The bathhouse could use some work.
