    Vinton RV Park

    Plenty of Shade and Great Amenities

    Vinton RV Park is fantastic! The spacious concrete pads made parking easy, and the full hookups were a big plus. We enjoyed the refreshing pool and the fun rec and game rooms. The park is clean, quiet, and well-maintained, with plenty of space to relax. Highly recommend it for a comfortable stay!

    Vinton RV Park

    Laundry, Electric, Wifi All Included in Lot Rent!

    The clubhouse at this park just outside Lake Charles is seriously impressive. It’s huge and offers everything you could need from billiards, shuffleboard, a cozy reading nook, restrooms, a full kitchen, and tons of seating for parties or events. 

    There's also a super spacious co-working office space, which is rarely used, making it even better if you need a quiet spot to work. 

    The park also has a great pool, perfect for relaxing. 

    For $575/month it’s an incredible deal as electric, Wi-Fi, free laundry and the premium amenities are all included in the rent!

    Vinton RV Park

    All the Amenities You Could Want, All included in the Lot Rent

    This Park is a hidden gem just outside Lake Charles.

    The pool is great, but the massive clubhouse is most impressive with billiards, shuffleboard, a cozy reading nook, a full kitchen, restrooms and plenty of seating for events or parties. And they also have a separate large co-working office space, all available to the guests and rarely used I might add making it even nicer.

    Free laundry, Wifi and Electric (included in your lot rent).

    $575/mo for grass/gravel pad may sound high, but when you realize that it includes all of this you realize it's actually a great deal!

    White Oak Parish Park Campground

    Great Find

    Our RV GPS and Waze took us right to White Oak Park. We went directly to pull through site 6 with FHUs. All sites are pull-throughs and the 3 FHUs nearest the bathhouse have long pads(easily fit our 40” 5th wheel and F450 plus are more spacious than their 5 water and electric sites. All the sites have a really nice stand-up barbecue and their own trash can. Water pressure was good at 50 psi and we had no issues with utilities. There are some trees, but we were able to get a north sky shot for Starlink. We got 2 bars on Verizon. There’s a playground and a boat ramp into the river not far away. Right about dusk when the mosquitos started coming out, a spray truck came in, which was nice. The campground (CG) host who lives in the Thibodeau house across from site 6, came by to get one of our driver’s license numbers as check-in. Two roosters were running around the CG that started crowing at about 3:00 AM. Our Riley friends had suggested this quaint little 8-site CG and we wished we had stayed more than just overnight in this quaint little city park.

    Pickled Pelican RV Park

    Hidden gem w/ quiet, close beach!

    Loved our time at the Pickled Pelican. Hosts very communicative & helpful. $75 did seem a bit high since there are no amenities, but the beach is close, clean, & quiet! Very soft sand compared to Galveston. Concrete pads & full hookups. Trash has to be driven about 2-3 min away.

    Rutherford Beach Campground

    beach camping

    Great spot to pull over your car to park on the sand. Lots of other RVs but not crowded and theres a long stretch of hard packed sand that i was able to access without a truck or RV. More people showed up around 5 but stayed a bit and left. Quiet night and morning.

    anyone I talked to was friendly but reiterated it wasn't safe to swim, kind of disappointing but oh well.

    One review here mentioned mosquitoes and its true, spent about an hour before bed slapping myself silly from all the ones that had gotten inside.

    overall really easy place to pull up to, really pretty.

    Mosquitos ruin it

    The views are alright and it’s nice to have free beach access and a few amenities but I have never seen such thick clouds of mosquitos in my life. Made the grave mistake of opening the van door at night and spent the next TWO DAYS hunting down hundreds of mosquitos in our van from those two seconds. It was a nightmare.

    Pickled Pelican RV Park

    Great spot on a rare Louisiana Beach

    I have camped with friends numerous times at the Pickled Pelican. March 2024 was my first trip with my own camper. The RV spots are all level concrete in excellent condition. There are twelve spots as close to the beach as you can get, with a covered picnic table and grill. There are also 8 spots that do not have the covered picnic tables, across the street from the cabana sites. Four of those are set up to be used as buddy sites where two RVs can park with their camp sides facing each other and have no problems reaching hookups. Water/sewer/electric hookups are all well maintained. The owners are very friendly and helpful. Ice, bait, and some seafood is available in Holly Beach. No convince stores or gas stations thanks to hurricanes. Closest grocery store, gas/diesel, and general merchandise is in Hackberry, 20 minutes north. There is a convenience store a little closer in Johnson Bayou to the West, as well as in Cameron to the East. Going to Cameron requires crossing via a ferry, not always in service.

    Peaceful paradise

    This location, the hosts, the animals and ponds all place you in a calm cocoon. My dog was thrilled to be allowed of leash. I loved the convenience of having electric and a beautiful pond view.

    If you are an animal lover this is an easy 'yes' for a liason to stay.

    Good for an overnight

    It was just ok. The spot was almost all soggy so hard to let the dogs out without all of us getting waterlogged. Lots of highway noise and no one in the office.

    Very Nice

    This is a very nice park, not far off of I-10 east of Lake Charles LA. All pads are concrete and there are laundry and showers on site. John the manager is very personable and helpful.

If you find Gloria’s Kitchen she will cook you whatever you want .. would stay here again , not far off I-10

    Rutherford Beach Campground

    Boondocking on the Gulf coast.

    Our trailer has narrow tires that are hard to pull on most beaches. The sand here packs well and supports our camper. You will need to be self contained. No hookups here. There are port-a-potties and sometimes food trucks on weekends.

    Nice spot to camp

    The sand is packed hard enough to pull a trailer right onto the beach. Plenty of room and there are dumpsters, an outside shower and a water spigot. The kids loved fishing right from camp.

    GREAT STOP ON I-10

    My family and I love staying here! The park itself is quiet and you have plenty of space to park. The staff is super friendly and helpful. The REC center looks new and clean. I love the FREE laundry on site and the pool being clean and open.
