    Lincoln Parish Park

    Always Awesome

    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.

    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.

    Spring Break Getaway

    This is our second time here. Decided to make a quick 2 night stay for Spring Break and this trip was as good as the first. The sites and bathrooms are kept up great. Don’t hesitate to plan a trip here.

    Corney Lake South Shore Campground

    Quiet and well-kept

    We only stayed one night but we will be coming back. There are only a couple of sites big enough for large rigs, but my 30' motorhome fit easy enough. There is no fee, a toilet and water available.

    We had a beautiful sunset and sunrise with only nature sounds to listen to.

    Weekend Stay for Baseball Tournament

    My 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.

    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.

    Quiet Weekend with Fun Activities

    We 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.

    Lincoln Parish Park

    Well taken care of & beautiful

    Really enjoyed our stay. View from the lake at all spots. Premium spots are nice and wide. It’s a small campground, so not too busy. There are lots of great spots to be around the park and lots to do. Not far from a grocery store or gas station. I really liked how quiet and spacious spot 32 was, but the ones on the lake are really nice, too. We could hear coyotes at night, I would probably not go for a hike with a dog or a small child during their peak hours. If you like watching birds, this is a great park to do so.

    Beautiful Full Service Wooded Park in North Louisiana

    We were looking for a place to stay overnight when we happened on this gem. We were on a deluxe double wide cement pad with full hookups on the water. Beautiful and quiet.

    Great place to camp!!

    We don’t have one complaint about our stay. The camp ground is very clean and in good shape. The pads are all asphalted so pretty level. Trash bins are at every other site and the bathroom is not a far walk. The temps are really hot but the bugs aren’t too bad. My family will be back!!

    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 Location

    I rented a tent site, perfect location under the trees but enough room to see the stars at night. Although it was full it was fairly quiet. The showers, though not fancy by any means, we’re a nice touch after riding the mountain bike trails all day. Trails give you enough miles to get a good workout in but something (most) of the family could do together.

    Nice primitive camp site

    Really relaxing site if you’re looking for primitive camping.  The surround area was clean and beautiful.   The abandoned camper seen in some older photos has been hauled away.

    Small park with pavilion

    This little park next to the campsite is a nice hangout spot shaded by the mature pines complete with a little pavilion, trash cans, bathrooms, fishing dock and boat ramp. Cool fog in October as well!

    Shaded lakeside view

    Quiet spot with heavy tree cover - don’t expect good Solar charging or satellite. Fantastic lakeside views, especially in the morning. Water hook ups next to most spots and primitive toilets in the middle of the camp area.

    Paved roads and semi level RV spots - great spot to stop for a few days!

    Louisiana Herbs on Breston Plantation

    You wouldn't think this is a campground, but it totally is

    Breston was an amazing host!!! DEFINITELY call or text him to reserve a site. The historic plantation is absolutely gorgeous. We got the grand tour of the land, and Breston’s impressive herb farm. The love and passion Breston has for horticulture really shines through his work here. I’m a house plant nerd, and I loved learning about the ins and outs(and scientific names!) of outdoor plants! He’s got some for sale as well. We were going to pick up a patchouli plant, but I am spacey and completely forgot to ask by the time we left. 

    Breston made us drinks with mint fresh from his garden, and offered a local beer(both delicious! He makes a mean julep!) His homemade gumbo was*chef’s kiss*. We walked back to our tent in the clearing behind the house with full bellies and good spirits. 

    There are lots of spots to pitch your tent on property. We chose the clearing in the back, surrounded by towering trees, next to the levee. We brought bare minimum sleeping pads(just Nemo switchbacks and bags) and it was like sleeping on a cloud. The ground was soft and cushy, perfect if you’re light car-campers like we are. Just gingerly drive over a 110 year old sidewalk to get there! Southern hospitality is abundant here. We can’t thank Breston enough for such a memorable experience!

    We went right after the Covid shelter in place order was lifted. Several others already there but nice and quiet. Fishing kayaking was fun. Walking was nice.

    Peaceful Escape

    No doubt about it, this park is beautiful. Apparently it’s known for its mountain biking and other trails, but camping here was wonderful. The park staff was super friendly and took pride in the work of keeping up the park. The Rv spots all had a great view of either the lake or the amazing woods. The on-site bathhouse was clean and well taken care of.

    Beautiful beautiful beautiful place

    This is not my first time to visit but rapidly becoming a favorite. Each trip is different and I find different ways to get more out of the park. They have great hiking trails, sites by the lake, and now I’ve discovered the biking trails too. There’s disc golf, a tennis center and multiple playgrounds. You can camp out in the campground or stay in a cabin or lodge. They also have canvas tents on wooden decks that are super cute. I stayed in the RV for my visit and have both water and electric at my site.

    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.
