Poverty Point Reservoir State Park Campground accommodates pets in its spacious, level sites spread throughout the wooded surroundings. Each pet-friendly site includes water and electric hookups with some offering full sewer connections, making extended stays comfortable for campers with animals. The bathhouse facilities remain exceptionally clean according to multiple visitors, providing a convenient place to wash up after hiking trails with dogs. Campground policies require pets to remain leashed at all times to protect the natural black bear habitat maintained within the park. RV campers appreciate the big-rig friendly layout with easy access to pull-through and back-in sites, while tent campers can also find suitable spaces among the park's mixed accommodation options.
Nearby Russell Sage Wildlife Management Area offers free, primitive pet-friendly camping in a more rustic setting with drive-in and walk-in access options. Dogs must stay under owner control during wildlife viewing or hiking activities. Landry Vineyards Grape Escape provides an alternative pet-friendly option with 11 RV sites featuring electric, water, and sewer hookups in a vineyard setting. The campground loops at Poverty Point maintain natural vegetation for wildlife habitat while providing walking paths suitable for daily pet exercise. The reservoir offers water access points where supervised pets can cool off during hot Louisiana summers. Visitors note the park's gated entrance with security code access after hours ensures a safe environment for evening dog walks, with most campsites offering enough separation to provide privacy for campers with animals.

Eh...
We stayed here for one night while passing through. It's basically a gravel lot with concrete pads and hook ups behind a gas station and restaurant with what appears to be a good amount of full-timers. That's fine - we don't need anything fancy for one night stays, just a safe place to park with hookups. What bothered us was two things. First, there was a camper at the back of the park with a poor dog in a small fenced in area next to their rig that was left outside the entire time we were there, including overnight when it got cold (28°). The poor thing kept barking every time we would come outside. I felt so bad for that dog. The park's rules (upon confirmation of our reservation) state that pets should always be on a leash and attended to, which was obviously not enforced. It was heartbreaking - the dog was cold and obviously wanted some attention. The other thing we noticed was a ton of black glass on the ground outside our rig. It looked like busted camper glass, spread everywhere. It got tracked into our camper, which I hopefully got all swept out so we don't step on it. There was also no formal check in upon arrival, which was confusing. We went in the gas station and they said there was no need to check in (not a big deal, just a head's up to those considering a stay). The saving graces were the cost ($25/night) and the restaurant which, despite a nearly hour long wait (understandable - it was Friday night), was delicious. We tried boudin for the first time (the eggrolls), and they were heavenly. This park may be better for full timers who don't mind being witness to neglected animals. 🤷♀️

Excellent
Spotless. Wi-Fi was decent and ATT two bars. I had water/electric site that backed up to the woods and trail. Felt private and spacious. The lake is beautiful. Small town of Delhi is nearby and has gas/grocery store. Don’t forget to visit PP World Heritage site just a few miles up the road.

LegendCheniere Lake Park
Very pretty and quiet location
Very convenient to I-20. Approximately 3 miles south of the interstate but you feel like you are a world away. Some of the campsites are very pretty overlooking the lake and the cypress trees. The scenery is unique and beautiful. Great if you’re attending a function at the lodge. Literally steps away from the event location. Nice playground for the children. Sheriff’s department is nearby and they patrol frequently so you feel very safe. You can hear the firing range in the distance. All in all a nice experience. Very easy to access I20. Also convenient to a Pilot Travel Center and a propane place both on the right if you take the Well Road exit off the interstate to get here.

Ok for overnight
Nothing fancy, but good for an overnight. Clean and seems safe. Right on I20, so expectable highway noise. Looks to be quite a few long term folks here but RVs are nice. Grassy spots. No tables, just hook ups. Cute playground. While there is a shower chair in the bath house, facilities are not wheelchair/ADA accessible as there is a 4” concrete step to access bathroom. Lots of bugs (gnats and mosquitos) but this IS Louisiana, so that is to be expected. Nice lake next door, looks good for fishing and probably where the biting bugs are coming from, lol. Would stay here again for just one night of passing thru.

Nice owners!!!
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.

Vicksburg Battlefield Campground
Good location
This was a great location if wanting to camp near the Vicksburg National military park. We walked to the park. Very few tent spots and most were in disrepair. The bathrooms were ok, they tried to keep them clean. The staff was friendly. Lots of highway noise, lots of noise from the permanent residents and their dogs. No wifi, no water.
Guide to Delhi
Poverty Point Reservoir State Park offers lakeside camping approximately 20 miles southwest of Delhi, Louisiana. The reservoir spans 2,700 acres with water depths averaging 15 feet, providing year-round fishing opportunities. The area features a humid subtropical climate with summer temperatures frequently exceeding 90°F and mild winters rarely dropping below freezing.
What to do
Wildlife viewing opportunities: Russell Sage Wildlife Management Area provides primitive camping with excellent bird watching options. "It's just a longish drive off of a nice paved two lane. There is a big sign at the mouth. Just a circle turn around back in the woods," notes Debbie S. after a recent stay at Russell Sage Wildlife Management Area.
Visit UNESCO site: The Poverty Point archaeological site is located just 20 minutes from the state park campground. "UNESCO world heritage site is less than a 20min drive," shares Peter R. who stayed at Poverty Point Reservoir State Park Campground while exploring the area's cultural attractions.
Kayaking ancient cypress trees: Chemin-A-Haut State Park offers water access to 1,000-year-old cypress trees. "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," recommends Taylor C.
What campers like
Level parking surfaces: Many dog friendly campgrounds near Delhi feature well-maintained camping pads. "Great flat spots with lots of shade and woods feeling. I really like it," explains Brandi W. about her experience at Poverty Point Reservoir State Park.
Clean facilities: Bathhouses at Lake Bruin State Park Campground receive consistent praise for maintenance. "Bathrooms are hands down the best I've ever seen. Campsites aren't on top of each other but are pretty close," reports Taylor C., highlighting the attention to cleanliness at state facilities.
Waterfront access: Sites along Lake Bruin provide direct water views and access. "Sites on the lake are a little closer then we like but the water view was very nice. Off lake sites are spread out more," notes Robert D., explaining the site layout options.
What you should know
Security features: Most state parks in the area have controlled access systems. "We just stopped one night. Looks like a gem. Lake and hiking trail are available. Very clean facilities. Security: Gate w code," confirms Roger W. about Chemin-A-Haut State Park.
Fishing license requirements: Remember to obtain a Louisiana fishing license before arriving if you plan to fish. "If you are planning on fishing, have your fishing prior to arriving - no place near to get one," advises Brandon R. about Lake Bruin State Park.
Site selection matters: Campsite layout and amenities vary significantly even within the same campground. "Stay at 45-46 for the more secluded spots," recommends Tyler H. about choosing sites at Poverty Point Reservoir State Park, where some locations offer more privacy than others.
Tips for camping with families
Splash pad amenities: Children enjoy water features available at some parks. "Nice area with amazing views. The splash pad is a huge hit!" shares Kimberly V. about amenities at Poverty Point that keep children entertained.
Playground availability: Ouachita RV Park offers play areas for children. "The park has a recreation room with a pool table, books, lots of board games, and a piano. It's slightly dated, but extremely clean and well stocked," notes Cat R., highlighting amenities beyond standard camping facilities.
Swimming areas: Lake Bruin provides designated swimming zones for safer water recreation. "If you want to swim and you love cypress trees, this is your spot. It's a small park with very clean bath houses. There is a beach/swimming hole but we also swam from out site #5," shares Denise G.
Tips from RVers
Vineyard camping options: Landry Vineyards Grape Escape RV Sites offers a unique alternative to state parks. "The site was amazing - nestled in the back of a vineyard, on the top of a hill. Originally, our site said it was set up for motorized RVs with the hookups set to drive into the site. However, when we arrived (with our 30 foot TT) we found hookups on BOTH sides of the site, making it that much easier for us to hook up," explains Shaun C.
Site leveling challenges: Some camping areas require additional equipment for comfortable parking. "Sites 3,4,5 are oriented where you see the water when you open your door. We were in site 4. Sites 4 and 5 have a 25x10 foot deck extending from rv site-very nice," recommends Jason R. about Lake Bruin State Park waterfront sites.
WiFi connectivity: Internet access varies between parks. "Clean restrooms, nice sites, WiFi. Only downside is I had to call for same day reservations," shares Jennifer M. about Poverty Point Reservoir, noting that digital connectivity is available but reservation systems sometimes require phone calls.
