The Pearson Camp is a very primitive camping experience which has been designated a Hunter's Camp. Located on U.S. Hwy 167, the easy access to the camp and to the National Catahoula Wildlife Management Preserve make the Pearson Camp a very popular camp during hunting season.
Camping: LDWF maintains five primitive camping areas on Richard K. Yancey WMA. There are all-weather access roads as well as a source of potable water at the Shell Road camping area.
Richard K. Yancey WMA lies between the Mississippi and Red rivers, beginning north of Lower Old River. The WMA’s terrain is typically flat to depressed; the only significant changes in relief are elevated roads, levees, and a large manmade sand ridge. Numerous small lakes and bayous are formed by the area’s relatively poor drainage pattern. A large portion of the land is subject to annual spring flooding by the Red and Mississippi rivers.
Timber on the property consists of mixed bottomland hardwoods. The primary overstory species are bitter and sweet pecan, overcup and nuttall oak, bald cypress, honey locust, hackberry, sycamore, and green ash. There are almost pure stands of cottonwood and willow along the manmade sand ridge.
LDWF has planted approximately 265,000 hardwood seedlings on about 800 acres of former agricultural lands and annually maintains abandoned oil well sites and rights-of-way as wildlife openings.
The Bankston Camp is a very primitive camping experience northeast of the town of Williana, Louisiana. This camp is located just outside the borders of the Catahoula National Wildlife Management Preserve.

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.
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!

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.
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.
GuideMy nephew was playing in a baseball tournament in Ruston so we decided to stay for the weekend. It was nice to have a gate that closed at 6pm so you don’t have to worry about random people showing up. The park was very nice and clean. We had a pull through site that was nice but not a lot of room in any place for the pull throughs. Probably going to try a Premium back in next trip. We didn’t get to enjoy the trails or see the waterfall but we plan on going back so we can enjoy all of that.
ScoutThe site is nice, and the hosts very helpful. Do arrive before dark, and in time for wine tasting. No lighting to find your way after dark.

Super nice owners! Dwayne was very accommodating...good price for full hookup.Quiet and convenient campground.
15 mins from Black Bayou National Wildlife Refuge if you want somewhere to hike and walk around. Some delicious restaurants around for some Louisiana cuisine. We enjoyed our stay.
Level spot. Cell phone service and bathroom with shower available.
ScoutGreat sites with water, electric. Walking distance to tasting room. They also have full hookups, but they weren't available for the 2 nights we wanted to stay!! Amazing wine and great service. Jen Lee was amazing. 2 visit. We will be back.
GuideWe stayed at spot 32. It was a very quiet spot that had a lot of shade but still had a view of the water. Close to the restrooms but not much through traffic. Large wide spots with paved cement made it easy to park and level. Full hook ups were nice. Trash cans were at every other campsite. There are only 33 RV spots at the park so it makes for a great getaway with not a ton of people. The site had good Verizon cell service, 2 bars with about 40-50 mbps. The walking path around the lake was really nice. The bike trails were really fun. They even kayaks for rent on the lake for a reasonable price. Overall the campground had great amenities and made for a great weekend getaway. We camped at Lincoln Parish Park in a Travel Trailer.
