Best Glamping near Gorum, LA

Primitive camping along the 10mi Backbone trail. Took out the hammock and camped out around the halfway mark along the trail. You can set up shop around an old fire pit or make one of your own. I chose the latter. The backbone trail has to be the prettiest trail in the state of Louisiana. It's really the only place in the state to experience actual hills. It reached 23 degrees at night which was one of the coldest temperatures recorded in the state this year. A must do!

Overall experience was great, but every time I go the trash cans are absolutely over flowing! Other than that it's a nice site, right along the water. Gets crowded during the summer.

Love his place as it is right on the water. Not many spots, but plenty of room. Summer time is quite busy.

This is beautiful place and great for hiking and camping!

Picnic tables and grills available. Swimming, camping, hiking, and canoeing can all be done here. Toilets but no running water. great area to spend the day and swim!

Wonderful camping , nice campsites , very well taken care of . Lived the days here,

Very clean and quiet park. Large sites with grill, fire pit, and picnic table.

This RV campground allows tents (at RV prices). The sites are big with full hookups. There is a nice playground for the kids as well as a nice shower house. The park has lots of picnic areas (34) set up under shade trees. Some sites have tent pads, but not all. They all have picnic tables and fire pits. It is a nice friendly campground with lots of boats and fisherman. You can make reservations or first come first serve. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

The park has a nice free day use boat launch as well as a floating dock with a fish cleaning station. The park is very clean and does not smell fishy. Really nice place, but at $32 a night, it was a little steep for me.

There is a security gate for after hours access. Comfort stations at boat launch and camping area. There is a wash house with washer, dryer and showers (heated and cooled). There are 2 picnic shelters with 6 picnic tables in each.

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.

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.

The view was great. We were tent camping and were told spot 11 and 10 would be the best for tent camping. This was not the best spots the roads also need a lot of attention they were very rough.

Great views of the lake. Beautiful sunsets. Beach, playground, volleyball, cabins, pavilion, full hookups, multiple boat ramps, open water! We love camping here!

We stayed at this campground in December 2021. It was close enough to enjoy the light festival in natchitoches. Fairly quieter campground. While we were there, the bath house could have used some love. The drains weren’t draining and it was pretty dirty.

Enjoyed having a water front site to fish and enjoy views of the river.

We didn’t have a full hookup site, but it was clean and had pretty scenery. Fun little place if you’re into boating/fishing.

This park has so much to offer but I notice the upkeep is less and less overtime. The “prime view” back in sites are fairly level and clean, Pull throw sites aren’t really level. Several of the plugs at the breaker box need replacement. Shower houses are in need of a desperate DEEP cleaning. I have stayed once a month for the past few months and hate to watch it not being taken care of. Fishing and boating are excellent and the park could be with some upkeep. I will re-evaluate my visit next month.

Site are humped on pull Thur sites so long rigs will have trouble leveling

Stayed here for a nice long break to explore the area. The RV campground was small but enjoyable. The resort has cabins and rooms for rent, a marina with boat launches, a nice little store, and a great restaurant with good eats.
