Best Tent Camping near Benton, LA

We have camped here for over 45 years. Always camped in a tent until this year. Park has been closed to repair storm damage. It is back better than ever. No sewer connection but there is a dump station. Most sites have a lake view and there are sites to hold about any size rig.

Lots to do with fishing or visiting nearby historic Jefferson. Very popular so reservations are recommended.

This is one of a few camping areas on the Wright Patman Lake. It’s a set up for RV camping more than tent camping. If you choose to tent camp, you will most likely be camping on an asphalt parking pad in most of the sites. Very open campground, not much privacy or seclusion. Since it’s only 15 minutes from our house, we occasionally choose this campground for a quick weekend getaway when we aren’t able to go up into Arkansas or Oklahoma. Clean bathrooms and showers, friendly staff, but not a place to go if you want to get away from everyone and everything, and enjoy nature.

Th Atlanta State Park was beautiful! Our  White Oak Ridge campsite was a great location for tent camping and easy access to the lake for kayaking.

Just got back from a weekend tent camping here. Stunning views and very clean camp grounds! Even in the winter, there's lots of people camping here yet it's still VERY quiet and relaxing. Would recommend this site any time of year.

I've camped here a couple of times.  I think the park is mostly used as a boat ramp, and party spot.  Quiet during the week. Access is via county road, and might be difficult with an rv.  Most sites would be hard to get a big rv into.  Most sites not level.  I tent camp on a motorcycle, so it's fine.

This was a nice campground. We had a tent site on the bluff. The trails we're good and there was plenty of shade at the sites. I would recommend bringing a citronella candle there were a lot of bugs at night. it could have also been because we went in August.

Several RV & tent sites on the lake. Good views. Paved roads throughout campground. The RV sites are paved, with water, electric, fire ring & table. Stayed in site E306 with a camper van, right on the water. Spacing between sites is okay. The restroom/shower houses can use some fixing up & deep cleaning, although the facilty by the beach was good. Check in was quick; friendly & helpful staff. Good T-mobile data service.

We had so much fun! There is a lot of fishing. The camp grounds were very well kept, and the bathrooms and showers were very clean as odor free. It was extremely packed and every camp site was booked, but where we were it still felt like we had our own little spot. The only complaint I have, if you want to call it a complaint, is the RV sites are too close to the tent sites. There was a lot of big families and lots of kids running around with the RVs. We will be going there again!

Tucked away from the highway is this sweet little KOA with all the amenities. There are rv and tents sites plus cabins, a pool, showers, laundry. You are surrounded by forest, so it feels like "camp". This would be a nice place to locate when exploring Shreveport attractions.

I thought I’d stay here because it said it was free on the app: IT IS NOT FREE. It’s cheap though! $12/night and you can book on the recreation.gov app.

If you want to tent camp or sleep in your car, only book sites 1-5. The others don’t seem to have flat spots for much of anything. Perhaps hammocking would work!

Upon arrival when I noticed the not-flat site I had booked, I easily switched my site via my booking to site 1, which is the best for car sleeping and in my opinion the best site at the campground. It is set off from the others and has a large flat grassy area. If it is busy it may be less desirable as it is right on the parking lot, but I’d still take it. That being said, I didn’t see a single soul while I was there.

Flush toilets, running water, and a spigot to fill up are provided. There is a boat ramp right by site 1. It was quite buggy even in early April, but I managed to keep moving and make a fire so the smoke would help the bugs stay away.

It is easy to find, and there is ATT cell service, 1-2 bars.

I’d definitely stay here again and hope to have time to explore more!

I had a business trip and she Louisiana and they treated me very well I would definitely recommend it

On a bike trip with my brother using a tent, we stayed at an RV spot because we needed power for the portable AC to cool the tent. Spot was nice, pretty quite, park was full. The restrooms could use some attention and the shower wasn't that great but got the job done.

This camp site is easy to find but that is about it as at night i woke to the sound of gun fire 100 feet from my tent. Unless you carry do not go to this campsite.

Very clean. Staff above and beyond helpful and friendly. Showers hot and cleaned daily. Trash removed every morning from receptacles. Sites roomy. Only a few sites have access to lake. All sites tent to big rig friendly with electric and water. Cell service good.

The lake was gorgeous and I had tent spot 210 right by the water. The view of the lake in the morning and at sunset was fantastic. The women’s restroom by site 210 was pretty filthy and only one stall would close properly. No soap dispenser or paper towels either. The tent spots were also VERY close to each other. I could very clearly hear the conversations being had on the sites next to mine. That basically killed the enjoyment for me because my fellow campers were pretty rowdy and drunk most of the time. Lake view was nice, but if I could do it again I’d only walk around during the day and stay elsewhere.
