  Shady Lake RV Park

  Feels like a Trailer Park rather than a Campground

  I was out looking for a place to camp. I drove around the park. Some RV’s had dug in their sewer hoses for a more permanent living arrangement. There were other clues that verified some were living here very long term. You could tell some sites were set up like the people had been living there longer than a year.

  While the owner was very nice and friendly, I just would not feel comfortable camping around people who live there long term.

  I have since found out that this happens around Military Bases frequently. The reason is because it makes more financial sense for Military Personnel to not stay in base housing. Permanent Base Housing sucks their housing allowance away quickly. However, purchasing an RV and getting into a campground enables them to keep more of that money in their pockets.

  This campground is near Fort Polk. I was told by one of the Army People that works there, this is what is happening with all of the RV resorts/campgrounds in the area. I understand what’s happening better now.

  However, camping in a campground around a majority of the people that live in a place long term is more like moving into an old neighborhood. It’s equivalent to going to camp in a residential trailer park. That’s not camping. 🤷🏻‍♀️

  Pecan Acres RV Park

  Better than some in the area

  Pelican Acres RV park is located near Fort Polk, and Toledo Bend Lake. The RV park is right off the road, and is a better choice than several of the rv parks in the area. The sites all look fairly level, and the property was well maintained. Like most rv parks in the area, this one has a number of long term residents, but this one was a little bigger and nicer than most I saw. If you were passing through the area, or needed to be near the base, this would be a good place to stop for a day or two, but if you’re looking for a nice relaxing camp spot, you’ll want to look closer to the lake.

  Arlington RV Park

  Convenient to Fort Polk

  Arlington RV park is located in Leesville, close to Fort Polk. The rv park is right off the road, and you can hear cars going by easily from anywhere in the rv park. This is a true rv park, but was fairly clean and maintained compared to others in the area. This is not a place to go if you are looking to have a nice relaxing camping experience, you would want to be on the Toledo bend lake for that, but would be sufficient if you have a camper and needed to be near the base, or in Leesville for some reason. Like several rv parks, Arlington has long term residents, with a few sites for people passing through.

  JD's RV Park

  Not my cup of tea

  JD’s RV park is located near Fort Polk in Leesville. The park is right on the road, and you will hear the traffic. The property is just a field and could use some improvements. The road needs gravel and trash was piled up. Like most rv parks, there’s long term residents here. If you needed to be nearby the base, you could stay here for a night, but this is not a spot for a nice weekend stay. Toledo Bend lake is not far away, and I saw some nice camping areas there. This spot could be a decent place for a stay over with some clean up and improvements.

  South Toledo Bend State Park Campground

  Best camping around!

  South Toledo Bend State Park is located near Leesville on Toledo Bend lake. The lake is known for Bass Fishing and is listed as one of the best bass fishing lakes in the country. I’ve also read that the lake has great areas for scuba diving, if you are into that. The park is not far from Fort Polk, and offers nice opportunities for camping, hiking, boating, fishing, kayaking, etc. The campsites are mostly all heavily wooded, and spacious. Plenty of room between sites. They have several waterfront sites with hookups, but the I terror sites were nice also, and most have a lake view. The park has docks for fishing and boat launch, and a fish cleaning station. Theres a nice playground too. There’s also rental cabins that looked really nice. The park was still being cleaned up from hurricane Laura, but was still very nice. The best place to camp I’ve seen around this area!

  Hidden Treasure RV Resort

  Great location

  This campground is located on the Cotile lake in Boyce, Louisiana. And it's only about 8 or 10 minutes from I-49, but well worth the time. There is a small boat launch/fishing area. A couple of the guests are long term, but it is very quiet here. No matter what site you are in, you will need to level your rv. We are in site #17 and it overlooks the lake. Owners are fantastic. Highly recommend.

  Indian Creek Recreation Area Best Camping Spot

  very nice older park

  Beautiful tall pines amongst the level, for the most part, campsites. Electric & water at sites, but no sewer. Full hook up sites are being built. Senior discount got 10% off. Only stayed one night for about $26.00. We lucked into the primo spot on the lake point and super level. Highly recommend this park, but undestand that it fills up fast, especially on the weekend. The best park we came across on our Louisiana trip.

  Pecan Acres RV Park

  Nice park!

  Nice clean park. Could see this as a wonderful stop through, or a long term place to park for work. It is quiet and well kept. The wifi was fantastic. Will definitely stop by again when in the area.

  Cotile Recreation Area

  Older and very tight spaces.

  Older campground. Very tight spaces. Roads and pads are asphalt. Sites 1-7 have full hook-ups and others have water and electric. There is a dump station. Buildings in great disrepair, but staff friendly and very helpful.

  Indian Creek Recreation Area

  Great Campground and Recreation Area

  Let me say first of all, that this is a great campground and recreation area.  For the time we went, September 24-26, 2021, the campground was highly populated.  Friday night and Saturday starting early, it was a bit of a party atmosphere.  Lots of golf carts cruising and loud music.  Sunday was a bit more mellow.  There is nothing wrong with that, just not the type of crowd I was expecting at a forested state park.  I see this type of atmosphere as an RV Resort type atmosphere (such as Cajun Palms).  Maybe this is not typical and it was a one off.  

  The lake is beautiful and great for paddling or boating.  There are a couple of beaches, which would be great for young kids/families.  The nature trail is respectable in terms of length and quality.  This park has a little bit of everything to fill your time and keep you busy.

  Indian Creek Recreation Area Best Camping Spot

  Water, Hiking, and Family Fun

  We stayed in site 109, which is a full hook up site. Slightly unlevel, needed blocks on the right side. There was some trash left in the burn barrel, a few beer caps, and cig butts on the ground, but otherwise, basically, ok. There is a beautiful lake for kayaking, boating, and fishing. A nice playground area, a laundry facility, and shower room.

  Red Shoes RV Park & Chalets

  Kinder, LA….A favorite

  Check in was a breeze. Ample sized cement sites with picnic tables. Our 42” 5th wheel has 4 slides and the site was roomy. Hookups we’re good. We were close to dog park which was perfect. Lovely clean campground. The lodge where you register was pretty. Could be marked better as it doesn’t mention anything about registration. There is a guard shack but doesn’t seem to be managed 24/7. So it’s kind of a false sense of security. The pool is large but a long way from the rv park itself. They have a 24 hour shuttle that takes to back and forth to casino. That really is all there is to do here as Lake Charles is 44 min away. We had some people at their camper who felt they should share their music with the entire park. I realize they’re allowed to have loud music until a certain time- however when you can hear it over your TV while sitting in your camper I just think that’s rude! The laundry is very small considering the size of the park and it seemed that people from the hotel used it which I don’t understand as it’s for the RV park. They have 4 dryers only 2 working, 4 washers only 3 working. I had to wait for people to finish with washers and dryers in order to do my 2 loads. Never spent 3 hours doing laundry before. These people were definitely NOT rv’ers! They had suitcases!

  Magnolia Hill RV Park

  Nice private campground

  Nice location with a beautiful view of the hills. There is full hookups with a Bathhouse and free WiFi. Entrance road is gravel and very steep but I was able to drive my 34’ motor home up pulling my jeep no problem. The owner does not stay on site but he did meet us there when we arrived. Not far from Natchitoches , LA. There is a big Christmas festival there late November and December with lots of lights.

  South Toledo Bend State Park Campground

  Primitive Camping Hampered by Noisy RV Park

  The primitive camping here is located on a bluff overlooking the reservoir, which makes for amazing views. However, across the water is an RV park that plays music very loud music with a terrible D.J. and you can hear all day for 8 hours a day, which made our stay less than enjoyable. While this isn't the park's fault, it totally impacts the enjoyment of camping there.

  I wish the park would move the primitive camping area to Hippie Hill where the glamping spots are located as that would make it more remote. The other thing is that RVers walk through the primitive camping site to look at the views, thus limiting privacy and the safety feeling with all these people tromping through your quiet area, with their dogs, etc.

  This park seems like it would be more enjoyable for RVers and people that own their own boats, as there is a public boat launch and docks to tie up near the RV sites. If you're a tent camper, I would look for another park until RV island, the noise maker is dealt with.

  OLD & DIRTY

  We stayed here for just one night. Unable to use women's shower or bathroom, d/t it being locked and no code. Per my hubby the men's was very old and dirty. The grounds were full of trash. We were in site 31 full hookups, but the cable didn't work. Sites are gravel but level. Laundry room available.

  Country Club Park

  A great hometown experience

  We stayed at this park while we were in our home base area for 2 months. The rv park is very nice. The staff and owners are great. The park is well maintained and has beautiful views. The laundry room is small but clean. The park just opened a store on grounds and it has just about anything you may have forgotten while shopping in town. The park is not very far from the local town for dining out and shopping. The two popular lakes are not that far of a drive either. The park sometimes has events that are very nice and the park occupants are welcomed. They also have a golf driving range, pool, and game room. There is also several ponds in the park where you can fish are just sit on the bench and enjoy the quiet view. There is also a concrete walk way all around the park that is great for walking your pets or even just taking a stroll for yourself. We will stay here each time we are in the area.

  Magnolia Hill RV Park

  Clean & Quiet

  We stopped at this site just for 1 night of our trip and were very happy with our stay. Super friendly staff, clean bathroom and laundry facilities, full hookups and very quiet. In the wild so expect bugs but nothing that made our stay uncomfortable. 3 gas stations right up the road-2 of which are RV friendly. Would definitely stay here again.
