    Ahtus Melder Camp

    Place to crash

    There is not much to this campground. Located inside the Kisatchie National Forest, Evangeline District. As soon as you enter the area, there is a small loopped grassy area with lots of trees. Nothing else to indicate a campground (other than the sign). If you follow the road/concrete path, you may lose a tire or axil bc the road is in BAD condition. Staying here gives you access to the forrest and multiuse trails.

    Ahtus Melder Camp

    Cowboy UP

    FREE 

    FCFS 

    Clairborne Trail $5.00 access fee 

    This campground is free and will accommodate RV's, tents, and trailers. No facilities, totally primitive. This is a really great spot and plenty of room for all.  Great open green space for grazing.  No reason to park next to your neighbor.  Site is well maintained but if it has rained it could be very muddy. Very open and it has nice mature trees. 

    Pack it in, Pack it out
