    Strolling through four ecosystems on over a mile of boardwalks through Tickfaw State Park, visitors can experience the sights and sounds of a cypress/tupelo swamp, a bottomland hardwood forest, a mixed pine/hardwood forest and the Tickfaw River. Periodically the park site serves the region by detaining floodwaters when winter and spring rains overflow the steep banks of the Tickfaw River. These periods of occasional flooding offer a unique opportunity to educate visitors on the importance of periodic flooding in the cycle of life that makes wetlands an invaluable habitat and breeding ground for wildlife and fisheries. At Tickfaw State park, you can go night hiking or listen to the swamp nightlife from the porch of your vacation cabin. Check at the Nature Center for scheduled programs. While there, view the 800-gallon aquarium stocked with fish found in the Tickfaw River. There are also displays featuring the animals, history and culture of the area and of Louisiana. Be sure to watch the 8-minute introductory video about the history of the park area. Bicycle, stroll or skate the interconnecting park roadways. Bring your canoe or kayak and take a fun-filled trip on this unique section of the Tickfaw River. The Water Playground offers refreshing fun for those not quite adventurous enough to explore the swamps and sloughs.

    Scattered throughout the park beneath a canopy of huge oak trees, you will find numerous picnic tables, as well as a group pavilion, a playground, and comfort stations. Spend a relaxing afternoon on the river or venture out into the water for lively outdoor recreation. If you prefer to stay on land, the park's nature trail will take you by the river where you can enjoy the view. Then, cap off the perfect day by staying overnight in the park's campground. The cool, crystal-clear waters of the Tchefuncte River yield bass, bluegill, white perch, and bream near the park area, and channel catfish, speckled trout and redfish where the river meets the lake. Freshwater fishing from the river bank or a boat offers unmatched delights for even the most casual fisherman. Crabbing in the lake and the river is also popular. Just two miles away by road and a few minutes by water is the Madisonville public boat launch. Many visitors use the launch for access to the calm waters of the Tchefuncte River or the exhilarating expanse of Lake Pontchartrain.

    Worst Campground ever

    The owners allow nails and other hazards for your tires everywhere. Most of the people in there are addicts and honestly you will have people coming to your door in the middle of the night looking to score some illegal substances

    Mosquitoes

    The mosquitoes were horrible. We left the doors open to our car to move our stuff to go to sleep and there were about 20 mosquitoes in our car as we were ready to go to bed. It was a nice spot but definitely don’t leave car doors open or bring some bug

    Very nice camping resort

    Beautifully kept resort with nice full hook up camspots, fences in dog park, pools for adults and kids, camp store, bar, grill, lake and hot tub. Also have nice facilities for showers and laundry that takes credit cards ( yay, no need for quarters). The only downside for me is they played music so loud at the outdoor bar that my ears hurt and could carry on a conversation. Our site next to dog park which was cute but a lot of excited dog barking from sun up to sun down.

    Very close to LSU

    Pull through site. On grass. Level. With water and 59 amp. Easy to get to. First come first serve so you can come as early as you like and then spend a full day exploring LSU and Baton Rouge. Friendly staff. Wifi at the recreation center. Horses grazing in near by paddock. Easy to bike on the levee to LSU and Baton Rouge.

    Campground was great!

    Ms. Brenda is the best! This campground has all the amenities! Hot water is tricky but the coffee pot makes up for it. There’s a microwave as well. Most of all the sites are separated by the ravines. We hiked down to the creek from the site and also went on trail C at tunica. I wouldn’t recommend trail c if you have small kids unless you wear them in a pack. Brenda has wood you can purchase if you forgot or run out. We were right next to the bathroom, sink, and shower.

    Neat area but lots of mosquitoes even on March 2, 2024

    About three miles on well maintained gravel. Nice area, although fairly remote. Clean. Well maintained. There were 3 others camping when we got there. A couple of folks were shooting their rifles at the gun range for a while. Fishermen came and went at the boat ramp. Quieted down at sunset. Swarms of mosquitoes on March 2, 2024. I wouldn’t plan to cook outside. We found (well) water available at the ranger/mangers station to refill our trailer. Plus it’s free!

    We had it to ourselves, so spot on for that

    We thought on the way here, we might not be able to get in but had the place to ourselves, which was great, apparently there's another campsite farther on so the parks staff told us, but we stayed here.  Only complaint 'man those bugs be bugs', bring bug spray, thermisills, and anything else you can think of to combat them, stayed end of February.  Wonderful setting.  Had a campfire tonight and got visited by 2 armadillos, fabulous !!

    Beautiful place

    First trip back since Hurricane Ida. Since my last visit, they have added a lot of tentrr sites in the tent section and 2 or 3 around the lake. The paddle trail is open, and while paddling, I saw a family of otters. There’s only around 2 hiking trails open, one around the lake and a portion of the long trail, which goes to the river, in and out. Spoke with a ranger who stated they think most of the trails will be open in 8 months.

    Perfect Disconnected on the Water Getaway

    We stayed at spot 38. We we're right on the water with our own dock/deck. Close to the restrooms but not much through traffic. Dumpster was right across next to the bathrooms. Not a lot of street lights throughout the campground made things nice and quiet at night. Spots were asphalt and needed a decent bit of leveling. The water and electricity hookups were on the camp side, which made for an awkward parking job to accommodate for the cord lengths. The site had no Verizon cell service, in order to receive notifications or just make a phone call you have to walk back towards the main road. The hiking trails were very nice with lots of shorts and long options. The canoe trails were also nice with the ability to rent kayaks or canoes. Overall the campground was clean, relativity quiet, right on the water, and is perfect if you are looking to disconnect.

    Great location, safe and warm southern hospitality

    We stopped in Baton Rouge on our cross country journey from CA to Florida.  We had plans in the area for an authentic swamp tour and a visit to New Orleans.  The KOA is a really great place to stay.  We arrived late on our first night and rolled in and went to bed.  The next day, a Saturday, the KOA serves a home-cooked breakfast (for a small charge.). When you don't have groceries, and you are tired - this was a wonderful treat!  The hosts gave us many suggestions on our visit to New Orleans.  If you need to go to the store, it is close to many major stores and grocery stores.  It was clean and every staff person we met was helpful.  They even refilled our propane.  It's always nice to meet locals who have area recommendations and we appreciated the hospitality.

    Tip: If you are looking for a unique, nature based experience, I highly recommend Captain Ronnie, owner of River of Swamp Boat Tours.  He takes you out on the bayou where you see the beautiful scenery, birds, trees and yes, alligators!  This was one of the highlights of our trip.

    Great free primitive spot with unique ammentities

    I really like this spot. It's got great scenery along the river, nice open spaces, well maintained, and there's a free shooting range including archery, pistol, and rifle areas. Decently maintained bathroom with a toilet. Icame mid December and am the only one camping. My only complaint that might bother some people would be the noise of the shooting range, but it's not that bad or frequent.

    Great Place

    Great place to chill in water while camping during the summer! We booked last min so didn’t get to really pick our site. We were up in the front and didn’t really have any trees around that gave any kind of shade! Pools and lazy river was about the only entertainment but for adults it was fine!

    We love this park. We had morning coffee with a gator lingering under our feet. Definitely pay extra money for the premium site. There is no cell phone service. There are washers and dryer. However there’s a warning sign about washing white clothes could be damaged due to the dark water used.

What to do:

  • Explore nature trails: Many campgrounds, like Bogue Chitto State Park Campground, have great hiking trails. One visitor mentioned, “The hiking trail connects just across the road, so easy access but kind of hard to find the trailhead.”
  • Wildlife watching: Campers often spot various wildlife. A reviewer at Fontainebleau State Park Campground said, “Tons of wildlife to be seen. The raccoons are smart and not scared of humans, lol.”
  • Fishing and boating: If you enjoy fishing, Lake End Park Campground & Marina is a great spot. One camper noted, “The fishing is fantastic down here, and the wildlife is incredible.”

What campers like:

  • Clean facilities: Campers appreciate well-maintained restrooms and showers. A visitor at Bayou Segnette State Park Campground mentioned, “Bathrooms were decent,” while another at Tickfaw State Park Campground said, “The restroom and laundry room seem clean and well tended.”
  • Spacious sites: Many campgrounds offer roomy sites. A reviewer at Bogue Chitto State Park Campground shared, “Spots were gravel and big, so it was pretty easy to back into.”
  • Friendly staff: Campers often mention helpful staff. One camper at New Orleans West KOA said, “The staff have been so helpful and pleasant.”

What you should know:

  • Noise levels: Some campgrounds can be noisy due to nearby roads or other campers. A visitor at Lake End Park Campground & Marina noted, “Being located practically within the city limits... noise from traffic... doesn’t quiet down until well after midnight.”
  • Wildlife precautions: Raccoons and other wildlife can be curious. A camper at Fontainebleau State Park Campground warned, “Definitely lock all food in your car. Raccoons around here will unzip your tent and rob you.”
  • Site selection: Some sites may not be suitable for larger RVs. A reviewer at Bayou Segnette State Park Campground mentioned, “Most of the sites are uneven, but have electric and water hookups.”

Tips for camping with families:

  • Water activities: Look for campgrounds with swimming pools or water features. A family at Camp Margaritaville RV Resort Breaux Bridge enjoyed, “Plenty to do around the pool area and go-karts/arcade immediately nearby.”
  • Kid-friendly amenities: Choose campgrounds with playgrounds and organized activities. One reviewer at Cajun Palms RV Resort mentioned, “There are tons of scheduled activities for kids like gem mining, tie-dying, and sand art.”
  • Plan for downtime: Bring games or books for quiet times. A camper at Lake Fausse Pointe State Park Campground suggested, “It’s perfect if you are looking to disconnect.”

Tips from RVers:

  • Check site dimensions: Make sure your RV fits the site. A reviewer at Tickfaw State Park Campground noted, “Each slot comes with a table on a wooden platform, a fire ring, and what appears to be a game hook, as well as a water spigot and electric hookup.”
  • Use discounts: Many parks offer discounts for seniors or military members. A camper at Fairview-Riverside State Park mentioned, “We used the 20% military discount but found out upon arrival that LA State Parks give a 50% discount for seniors.”
  • Be prepared for bugs: Bring bug spray, especially in warmer months. A visitor at Cajun Palms RV Resort noted, “Bugs were a little bit of an issue and bug spray was definitely needed.”

Camping near Denham Springs, Louisiana, has something for everyone, from families to solo adventurers. Just remember to plan ahead and enjoy the great outdoors!
