    Cypremort Point State Park

    New State Park

    All sites are cement and level.  Pedestals are close and everything works.  NO shade at the campground.  There is a beach for the kids.  Great speck kayak fishing in the fall.  Nice place overall.  Didn't visit the bath house, full hookups at the RV sites.  Breeze is always blowing.  Good AT&T.  Didn't try the park WIFI, not sure if its available at this time.

    Farr Park RV Camground

    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.

    So sick!

    This campground is so cool. Takes a bit to get to, and you’ll wonder if you’re at the right place at first, but you are! It’s so peaceful and tranquil. We parked right by the water and had full hookups for only $15. The dogs loved going on walks out to the fishing pier and boat ramps. We wished it were warmer so we could have taken the kayaks out. The sunsets on the gulf look stunning and cell service is off the charts because there is a tower literally on the campground. Highly recommend. Oh! It’s CASH ONLY by the way. Don’t make that mistake because the closest atm is like half an hour away.

    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.

    Off season gem

    Stayed in the parkway loop on the water. Very few folks in the off season but nice. Sites are close and there is road noise but we were one of 5 occupied sites and were spaced out fairly well. Great thing about full timing it is you can hit these parks with very few people staying in them. Wildlife and great scenery.

    Bayou Wilderness RV Resort

    Perfect I-10 / I-49 stop

    We do not like to get too far off of our route. Bayou Wilderness is 4.5 miles from I-49 just north of I-10. The park is exceptionally well maintained. The pool is nice and there is a playground next to the pool. The Laundry/Bath House is clean and the bathrooms are modern. There are three separate bathrooms with a toilet and a shower. The laundry has 6 washers ($2.00) and 6 working dryers ($2.50). This is an excellent overnight stay with FHU. It is worth it. I I travel south again I would plan this stop on my route.

    Lake End Park Campground & Marina

    Very nice camping area

    I think this is a very nice camping area for both RV’s and tent camping, but it does have some minor drawbacks. There is a protected area on the lake within the park that you can launch your boat and they do have two restrooms with showers as well as washers and dryer’s to clean your clothes. Bathrooms in nearly every camping area across the country I’ve been to aren’t exactly up to home standards, but it is functional. The people working at the park have always been friendly and helpful. I like to tent camp and even the tent campsites have electrical hook ups. The truly bizarre thing about that is we are located in South Louisiana where the temperatures are absolutely brutally hot and majority of the year and yet they have a rule that clearly states you cannot have an air conditioner in your tent. And luckily, I didn’t see that the first four or five times I stayed there and no one said a word. Why in the world could you not hook up a portable AC unit in your tent considering electrical hook ups are provided and AC units make nearly no noise? Speaking of noise, the park is located in just inside a 90° curve in the highway with two sets of rumble strips in each direction. Being located practically within the city limits of Morgan city, or noise from traffic and the rumble strips doesn’t quiet down until well after midnight and picks back up again in full force around 5 AM. I couple that with the majority of the people here wanting their trucks to make the most noise possible, it’s a bit distracting and makes sleep difficult. Like all camping areas, people are going to listen to all manners and types of music but that quiet down significantly after 10 PM. my last trip about a week ago I noticed that my particular campsite was covered in fire ants that would start to build colonies within all your camping equipment left on the ground outside and they also built a major ant city underneath our tent that wasn’t an issue until I was breaking down the camp and the ants decided to scatter all over the tent inside and out.  the fishing is fantastic down here and the wildlife is incredible. You will see alligators of course along with rabbits, black squirrels, osprey bald eagles as well as seagulls and pelicans given our close proximity to the gulf coast. The office has people working in it every day of the week and and there is a Coke machine at the office and they do sell 8 pound bags of ice for $2. Overall, I really like camping here and then will continue to do so as long as no one says anything about having an AC unit in my tent as I would not consider staying in a tent in South Louisiana without one.

    Pothole Hell

    PROS

    $7 Veteran discount 

    Wooden picnic table 

    No road noise. 

    It only 5 miles from Interstate 10 

    TMOBILE 2 bars 

    Just a couple homesteaders 

    Sites 1-12 Have the least pot holes in the roadway. 

    Site 4 has a large wood swing at pond’s edge 

    CONs

    $8 transaction fee which basically cancelled out the $7 veteran discount

    Wristbands that had to be worn at all times. We never encountered any wristband police so we didn’t wear. 

    Campground road in horrendous condition with non stop pot holes 

    Only 2 women’s and 2 men’s toilets for the entire park which are in the pool house. Since we didn’t see any other on the campground map we inquired at the welcome center/office/store and they confirmed those are it for the park. 

    Site#22 not level 

    Sites tightly slammed together 

    Our campfire ring was under the next sites camper slide out, so totally unuseable 

    Some site concrete pads have a foot drop off to the surrounding grass/dirt 

    Power interruption 

    Wifi signal interrupted every 10-15 minutes with only 8 RVs in the park. 

    Most sites no shade 

    Streetlights throughout park

    Great place to stay- no cell service

    We stayed here and enjoyed the nature surrounding us. We had no cell service but enjoyed the playground and splash pad while we were there. We also attended the crawfish festival closeby.

    Coffee with the gators

    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. We highly recommend an attached is our full review of the park. http://travelswithgg.com/lake-fausse-point-state-park/

    Nice park , but not my favorite

    We arrived at this park on a Thursday . It was fine, although the restrooms were extremely far from our site. They were very clean . We also used their nice laundry facilities. On Friday , the crowds started to arrive. We learned many locals frequent this campground. By evening, the park was full . Groups being a bit rowdy and playing music very loud. We are not prudes but I really don’t want to be 8 sites away and hear blasting music. Over all the week days I think would be a little quieter . Sites we large. Ours had a bit of vegetation to separate us from neighboring sites.

    Very nice campground

    We really enjoyed this small campground. What a great vibe. Sites were a little close together and not much vegetation, but it was fine . Our campsite was on the bayou with its own little private dock. Enjoyed watching the birds and gators .

    New management

    Don’t let a former bad review chase (pun) you off from this campground. It’s clean and roomy with full hookups for $28 a night. The staff a friendly and helpful. It’s quiet, safe and has a new playground. We don’t have little kids and wish it were a dog park but realistic the world doesn’t revolve around us.

    So many employees

    So many employees yet the bathrooms were dirty and trash was on the ground. Many bbq stands were broken and tent pads under water. Otherwise, camp was good. Way off the beaten path, quiet, spacious, lots of water which means lots of mosquitoes. Camp host had pet off leash so rules are not followed. Great discounts for military.

    Best Campground Down the Bayou

    Stayed here for 3 months while working a travel nurse contract in Houma, LA. A small family-owned and operated campground where the owners were found on property daily. They go out of their way to ensure those staying there have a great time, this includes live music on the weekends, bingo, crafts, fishing tournaments, pool party with DJ, scavenger hunts and on-site RV repair by the owner. In addition the regular amenities include pool, small store, 8 washers and 8 dryers, WiFi, golf cart rental, boat rental, fish cleaning station, clean bathrooms with showers and pool bar and grille.

    All sites have 50/30/20 electric with water/sewer, sites are all gravel and tight with some sites more level than others. Site size is not a problem during the week, because there is hardly anyone there. But even on sold out holiday weekends it is generally a quiet area. The higher the site number, the closer to the lake. Rows 1 and 4 are pull through while 2 and 3 are back-in. Rows 1, 3 and 4 allow the passenger side of the camper to face the lake. 

    Beautiful sunset on the far side of the lake.

    You do need to bring your own grille as there are no charcoal grilles on site. The Wifi is spotty in certain parts of the campground.

    If you are in the region, this is the best RV campground to stay in!

    Quit clean camp ground

    My site was across the street from one of the 5 large ponds to fish in. 21 was a shaded spot and only 5 spots from playground, splash pad,pool and store.Great people to work with. Golf carts to rent with lots of room to ride around. Only improvement could be on bathroom and showers no a/c or doors ,only curtains but clean just bugs and heat down falls.

    4.5 stars!

    This camp is perfect for us! We have two dogs so green space is important-check. It is hot so a lot of shade trees are important-check. Not stacked in like cordwood-check. This camp is really lovely and provides a lot of space between campsites. The only downside for us was the pads are not so level and no laundry. But we would recommend this place in a heartbeat!
