Best Equestrian Camping near Glenmora, LA

Oak campground inside Kisatchie National Forest, Kisatchie District is a secluded little spot to camp if you have been riding your horse on the trails. (Or not bc we stayed here with no horse). This was the first campground where there was actually other people here. There is no water, vault toilets and lots of trees and space to play. Just down the road, trees are being harvested but that did not interfere with our stay. This campground does not accommodate off road vehicles (they could spook the horses I guess) but there are many more campgrounds throughout the forest connected to the trails that do. The grounds are really well kept.

Campground: Inside the Kisatchie Natinal Forest, Calcasieu Ranger District, Vernon Unit. This is dispersed camping with a pavilion and vault toilets available. No water, must pack it in.

Trails: there are miles and miles of trails attached to this campground. OHV, horse or hiking. Beautiful area, just don't forget sunscreen, water, bug and tick repellant. The trails are very well marked.

Fees:  $5.00 per night

Limit:  14 days

Horse and general camping with no OHV camping.  NO WATER but there are pit toilets and there was one fire ring.  Beautiful pine and hardwoods with a lot of fairly flat area.  Beautiful shade and the area can handle small RV's and trailers.  The area is VERY busy during hunting season. We will return one day.

Isnide the Kisatchie National Forest, Kisatchie District Lotus campground offers water, flush toilets and easy access to the Sandstone Trail. Each campsite has a fire ring, picnic table and lots of tree roots. This campground is designated for off road vehicle campers as opposed to horse campers. A bit scary when it started raining and we were under those big beautiful trees, but we made it through. Again, the campgrounds in this area are so well marked and easy to find. There is a $3 per night fee to camp here and a $5 trail use fee.

There is not much to this campground. Located inside the Kisatchie National Forest, Evangeline District. As soon as you enter the area, there is a small loopped grassy area with lots of trees. Nothing else to indicate a campground (other than the sign). If you follow the road/concrete path, you may lose a tire or axil bc the road is in BAD condition. Staying here gives you access to the forrest and multiuse trails.

Clairborne Trail $5.00 access fee 

This campground is free and will accommodate RV's, tents, and trailers. No facilities, totally primitive. This is a really great spot and plenty of room for all.  Great open green space for grazing.  No reason to park next to your neighbor.  Site is well maintained but if it has rained it could be very muddy. Very open and it has nice mature trees.

Most of the campgrounds here are great. We passed by Coyote Camp and there were a few hunters. This campsite is more primitive, but does offer man-made fire rings and vault toilets. There was a small amount of litter present, but not as bad as other places we’ve been. The roads are very easy to traverse.

We hiked along a few trails that were open (many have been closed due to covid maybe) and it was really fun, mostly flat hikes. Night time will bring about the coyotes and all their lovely howls, so be prepared for some noises come dark. Overall, if you want a peaceful place to relax with serene surroundings, definitely come here.

This sure is not far at all from Corral camp which cost $10 a night. This one is free though and is only about a 2 min drive. No hook ups and we got our 43 ft 5th wheel in just fine. There are atvs out here they didn’t bother us.

Status: open 

Fee: $10.00 per night $ 5.00 Sandstone Trail Day Use
