ScoutStopped here on a motorcycle trip without a reservation and was met by the camp host , who was super friendly and helpful. Facilities are clean and well managed. The sites are spacious.
TravelerHad a nice stay, peaceful, not crowded. Electricity hookup was further than I expected so had to buy 3 additional 20 foot extension cords (total of 4). Luckily there is a family dollar a mile or two away. Other than that no issues.
ScoutOur stay was quiet, great fishing and store was well stocked. Boat ramp worked great for the seadoos we brought
RangerStayed at an RV campsite and had water and electricity no problems. Bathrooms are very spacious and kept clean daily. Canoeing on the Mill Pond was peaceful. Great state park to visit.
GuideThis is a very quite well maintained park. It has restrooms and showers and even laundry.
GuideGreat campground, level, spacious sites, full hook ups. Beautiful park all around. It was very cold when we were there and the restrooms didn't have any heat. Probably don't need it most of the time. Other than no heat, the facilities were nice. Great stay .
TravelerThis park is amazing. The views are incredible. Although the heat and humidity were a bit much for this yankee, I couldn't get over the setting. We chose a site (of which there were many) with its own deck overlooking the bayou. It was a view right out of a painting. And the senior 50% discount was made it 200% better!
ScoutHorrible Customer service !! The older women that is answering phones and questions was beyond rude and short . Tried to book for 4 days bc all of the booking info states that they offer daily fees of 50.00 was told they only do monthly stays now .. had emailed the day before and called the following day when I had not received any response …. ALL AROUND JUST RUDE in her whole tone demeanor and how she spoke to people …
TravelerCampground for fishermen (Probably). Very, like very, dirty toilets and totally unhygienic environment.
You don’t want to be here if you want to relax.

Reservation requirements vary: Some parks enforce specific RV standards. A Cypress Black Bayou visitor reports, "Called to inquire on tent/dispersed camping on 1.14.21 and was told the park is currently closed except for 'certified' RV spots.
