    Chemin-A-Haut State Park

    Wonderful state park

    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.

    Chemin-A-Haut State Park

    Shady and Peaceful area

    Quiet shady campsite. Not very full at all so it was peaceful. Showers and bathrooms were clean. Decent WIFI. Booster is close to site 14 and 15. If you like to be level in every direction, there are only about half of the sites that are easy to get that way. 4,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,14. All the rest slope a great deal. The ones on the inner loop slope from back to front. The ones on the outer loop slope front to back pretty dramatically. Inner loop sites are short. There were many campers unlevel it looked to me and jacks all the way out.  I had the right side on 3 blocks to get it up to level. 

     If it rains its muddy in the site. They look to be clearing some trees as the area close to #12 where we camped had some leaning dead trees that were a bit concerning. Especially considering we had severe storms one night. Tree hit the bathroom building and also fell across the access road.

    2nd picture hope you can tell how downhill the outside sites are after 14.

    Nice place

    Nice RV spots with full hookups. Cellular service isn’t great but they do have Wi-Fi. The RV camping area has a nice, new, and clean restroom and shower facility with coin-operated laundry.

    Chemin-A-Haut State Park

    Nice Park

    Our Site #6 was large and it was a good value for full hookups, but the town of Bastrop was nothing to write home about. Winter is probably not the best time to visit — rather spooky with no leaves on the trees and most sites vacant.

    Chemin-A-Haut State Park

    Eh, probably better in summer

    Only 1 loop open now (October). Not very attractive sites. Trees are nice but pads are narrow and a bit chewed up. Full hook-up though.

    Chemin-A-Haut State Park

    Ok for last minute

    It was a last minute booking, for a holiday weekend, after a major hurricane. Campground was nice, nice & clean bathhouses, nice pool[closed due to pandemic]. Cabins looked nice, too. Just have to be careful what sight you book, because I almost never got my camper level in sight #21. All in all, I would make a return trip

    Chemin-A-Haut State Park

    Amazing state park, sadly underfunded. Still worth a trip.

    Pretty state park, swimming pool during summer, gorgeous trails on an enchanting bayou, wooded back in slots with a camp host, not much to do in Bastrop but this park is a great attraction. No sewage but there is a dump station. There is also tent camping, cabins, and equestrian camping and trails but there have been budget cuts that prevent horse trail maintenance and road repairs, so you don’t know what you’ll get sometimes. The park has playgrounds and pavilions.

    Chemin-A-Haut State Park

    Small, good kayaking

    The park is on the smaller side with plenty of cabins and good places to kayak, canoe, and fish. The bayou is very nice. The pool is a little run down looking as of late summer 2019. We went trial hiking but this was a little difficult as the walking trails aren’t really maintained (the horse trails are maintained and clearly marked).

    Chemin-A-Haut State Park

    Very nice renovated facilities!

    This is a hidden gem north of Bastrop, Louisiana. Have camped here on multiple occasions. Every time there have been very few campers so it's almost like having the entire campgrounds to yourself. Raccoons are very curious and obviously human fed because they will walk right up to you. Best feature in the park is the Chemin-A-Haut Creek were 1000 year old Cypress trees are scattered throughout. Rent a kayak or canoe to paddle to them.

    Chemin-A-Haut State Park

    Nice park

    Overnight camping with small trailer. Nice facilities. Water has been high for a few months so its ugly and not so useable. There’s supposed to be a route by canoe to old growth trees but water is too high
