DYRT BOOKING: If you are having issues booking, please feel free to call us during business hours 11-5:30, Monday - Saturday and we can block a site for you if is available. 318-557-9050 You DO NOT have to join the Dyrt to book a site.
There is a walking trail in the woods or venture into the vineyards to view the grapevines and grapes. At certain times of the year, you can see some wildlife (deer, rabbits) and pick blackberries.
Sites #2-4 are NOT pull through. These sites have water, electric 30 & 50 amp. and sewer. These sites were designed for MOTOR HOMES to pull straight in but are always being rented by SMALL 5th wheels and SMALL campers. If you have a 5th wheel or camper you will have to back in and run your electric and water hose under your camper, if you have a short sewer hose, it will not reach (backing in and running the water hose and electric under the camper has not been an issue for most campers). If you do pull in, you will not be able to unhook your camper and move your vehicle, you will have to back up when leaving. As stated, these sites were designed for MOTOR HOMES, thus the hookups are on the correct side of their Motor Home.
Sites #5-8 ARE PULL THROUGH with electric 30 & 50 amp. and water. NO sewer. Ideal for LARGE: 5th wheels, motor homes and campers.
Some amenities you can enjoy at our locations include:
- All sites have 30 & 50 amp.

Take your pick: swimming, fishing, birding, boating of all kinds, waterskiing, camping, hiking or just plain relaxing and enjoying the unsurpassed natural beauty. It's all here . . . at Lake Claiborne State Park. For fishermen, the freshwater lake was lavishly stocked with largemouth bass, bluegill sunfish, channel catfish, black crappie, striped bass, chain pickerel, bream, and white perch. The lake itself, at full reservoir level, has a surface area of 6,400 acres.
Two-bedroom cabins are nestled among the pine trees, and many offer a view of the lake. The RV campground rests among the slopes of the north Louisiana foothills, offering shaded spots to get closer to nature. Whatever your preference for an overnight stay, you'll be sure to rest peacefully.
One of the most popular activities for visitors of all ages is swimming at the park's sandy beach. The beach is situated on an inlet of the lake and is protected from boats and waterskiers. So work up an appetite for that fresh fish supper by taking a brisk swim in Lake Claiborne's famous clear water. Ecologists and sportsmen alike hail the lake's excellent water quality, and you will too, once you've made the trip to Lake Claiborne. Once on-site, you will see the area come to life as a park naturalist will be available to present nature-based programs and give guided hikes.
Lake Claiborne SP offers the #1 and #2 ranked disc golf courses in the state. Both courses offer 2 sets of tee pads, the Blue tees are for the skilled players and the Red tees for the newer players or first timers at the park. Families are encouraged to check out discs at the fee station on their next visit. Both courses start and end at the entrance. Scorecards and maps are available to the fee station or in the below "Disc Golf" section.
The woods of Lake Claiborne are also home to a wide variety of wildlife. Lovely nature trails and a scenic overlook will allow you to appreciate the beauty of the area at your own pace. Or you may be interested in a variety of nature tours, offered on a regular basis.

Beaver Dam Campground is situated on the shores of Upper Caney Lake in the Caney Lakes Recreation Complex. The campground is located in a beautiful setting among woods, lakes and hills. Swimming, boating, fishing and water skiing are the top activities. Sugar Cane National Recreation Trail passes right next to the campground and offers varied terrain for hikers and bikers. The Sugar Cane trail was named for the crop that was once cultivated here, in addition to cotton.
Bass, crappie, catfish, bluegill and sandbass can be caught in the lakes. The Sugar Cane Trail spans 5.7 miles and the Lost Man Loop spans 2 miles. Both are open to hiking and mountain biking.

Loved this camp ground. Big spacious spot with hookups and several close to Caney lake. They pulled a ten foot alligator out of there so my morning swim was a little faster than usual. Showers and toilets were older but clean and functional. Definitely on our list if we’re passing close in the future.

Absolutely beautiful. Husband was very helpful. I highly recommend this place. Very quiet and nice. Will stay there again.
ScoutMy wife and I really enjoyed this get away for the weekend. The site was nice and quite. The view of the vineyard from the site was amazing. Mr. Jeff came by and greeted, even assist me by allowing me to borrow a hose to complete the hook up on my camper. The staff at the winery was very polite and friendly. Thank you all for such a great experience!!
ScoutWe really enjoyed our stay. We were the only campers so it was very quiet and peaceful. The site was clean and level which is always a plus for us
ScoutWe have stayed in the vineyard three times. It’s a nice drive from the interstate and a very peaceful place to spend the night. The RV sites are easy to access. The power, water, and WiFi are good. We were there in May, and twice in September.
Ranger
This place was quiet and very peaceful. We had our own fishing pier at our site. The bathroom were big and clean. Had A/C and the water was extremely hot.
ScoutWe arrived close to the tasting room closing time, but were able to call in an order for wine, cheese & crackers to be delivered to the campsite for a very pleasant end of a long day of driving. Very accomodating service and beautiful view of the vineyards!
ScoutThanks to our hosts and staff for a delightful stay at this beautiful vineyard. We so much enjoyed visiting and sampling the fruits of their labors! Thanks for the hospitality! We look forward to our next visit! Pearl and John
ScoutWe arrived around 6 p.m. and were warmly greeted by the owner, who kindly explained how to reach our site on the hill that overlooks a beautifully maintained and fruitful vineyard. Watching the sunrise over the vineyard the next morning as I strolled through the fields with our furry companion revealed the simple yet captivating beauty of the surroundings. We were so impressed by our stay that we couldn't resist ordering wine online. Highly, highly recommend this place. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
ScoutThe vineyard is beautiful and the hosts were just as lovely. We sat down for a couple tastings and played card games in the indoor area since it was brutally hot outside. We had a wonderful conversation with the owner who made us feel at home. We definitely recommend this location!
Scoutthis was an absolutely beautiful location, and the staff was amazing! Sites were wide and easily accessible and the Vineyard is absolutely amazing! Went in for a wine tasting and walked away with a bottle to take with me! Follow the directions to staff gives you and not the GPS if you have a big rig! Even then, the roads in were a little tight, but definitely manageable! 10 minutes off I-20 if you drive slow. I will definitely be staying here again if I’m passing through the area!
ScoutThis was a great overnight stop. Very level site (6) with water and electricity. Beautiful location. Great wine, and very nice staff. I would visit again.
ScoutLove the winery and people are the best. Location to West Monroe and other sites are close. Only concern is no tornado shelter close.
ScoutThe Landry’s Grape Escape was beautiful, peaceful, and the most restful night we had on our two weeks of travel across country. We highly recommend it.
ScoutWe stayed overnight on a long road trip at the lovely and pristine Landry Grape Escape. It was beautiful and peaceful. We would not hesitate to stay again. Libby Landry was responsive and very helpful. We h ighly recommend the Landry Grape Escape.
ScoutWe stayed in site 5 with electricity and water on a Wed. Nice level gravel pad. We have a 33' Class A with toad and it was hot so wanted the electric for the a/c. We did the wine tasting and they have about 24 varieties to choose from including 3 ports. Pick 6 for the tasting. Bought a bottle of the Cottonport port for the road. Great with chocolate or dessert.
ScoutGreat gem to visit and stay overnight. Follow the hosts directions. Great wine too!
ScoutWe absolutely loved our stay at Landry Vineyards. We have a 40’ fifth wheel and spent the night on site 3 with 50 amp power. The view and the peaceful setting were just magnificent! We enjoyed some pizza and cheese along with some fun music on their patio. Would definitely stay again!
Scout
Tent Camped in Site 35. Perfect conditions. Woke up to peaceful morning and was able to get some mountain biking in. Bathrooms and facilities were top notch.
TravelerThe sites are absolutely beautiful, level, and have power and water. The scenery is beautiful and the wine tasting is a definite bonus. Highly recommend this place.!!!!
TravelerAbsolutely beautiful place. You can’t go wrong if you stay here.
ScoutWe loved the new sites 5-8. We stayed in site 5. Very level and new need unhook. Didn't have a chance to try the wines which we regret. I give this Harvest Host a 10. Quiet and comfortable.

Bathrooms are hands down the best I’ve ever seen. Campsites aren’t on top of each other but are pretty close. My tent wouldn’t fit on the tent pad but was able to find a level spot to set up anyways. The lake was pretty busy with people fishing or paddling. Two room cabins looked pretty great and are on the water. Had two playgrounds and kids trail. Went to go to kayak out to Castle Tree and found out the water was too high to really see the base of it and it’s a two hr paddle upstream on the way there. So plan on calling ahead if you’re going to do that since the water can also be too low.
TravelerWe absolutely loved the GrapeEscape at Landry Vinyards. The spots are level and nice, the whole property is absolutely gorgeous. We were lucky enough the be in a spot that is right across the road from the Winery and they had live music the day we came in. We visited the winery for a tasting, bought some wine and things to make a meat / cheese tray and took it back to our RV to enjoy the music and do a little dancing! It was an amazing experience that we will definitely enjoy again!
ScoutBeautiful location. Wine was great. Try to be there on a weekend when they have music.
ScoutIt was great. 2nd trip in a month! We stayed in #9, right by lake. Great view and again, no problem with camp fires. Burned good!
Scout
Our first camping trip. Great place to relax. Met several nice folks. Park is very clean and well kept. Asphalt pads are very nice. Nice playground for the kids.
