Best Campgrounds near Greenwell Springs, LA

Beautifully kept resort with nice full hook up camspots, fences in dog park, pools for adults and kids, camp store, bar, grill, lake and hot tub. Also have nice facilities for showers and laundry that takes credit cards ( yay, no need for quarters). The only downside for me is they played music so loud at the outdoor bar that my ears hurt and could carry on a conversation. Our site next to dog park which was cute but a lot of excited dog barking from sun up to sun down.

About three miles on well maintained gravel. Nice area, although fairly remote. Clean. Well maintained. There were 3 others camping when we got there. A couple of folks were shooting their rifles at the gun range for a while. Fishermen came and went at the boat ramp. Quieted down at sunset. Swarms of mosquitoes on March 2, 2024. I wouldn’t plan to cook outside. We found (well) water available at the ranger/mangers station to refill our trailer. Plus it’s free!

We thought on the way here, we might not be able to get in but had the place to ourselves, which was great, apparently there's another campsite farther on so the parks staff told us, but we stayed here.  Only complaint 'man those bugs be bugs', bring bug spray, thermisills, and anything else you can think of to combat them, stayed end of February.  Wonderful setting.  Had a campfire tonight and got visited by 2 armadillos, fabulous !!

Real nice people and peaceful

The most peaceful place

We stopped in Baton Rouge on our cross country journey from CA to Florida.  We had plans in the area for an authentic swamp tour and a visit to New Orleans.  The KOA is a really great place to stay.  We arrived late on our first night and rolled in and went to bed.  The next day, a Saturday, the KOA serves a home-cooked breakfast (for a small charge.). When you don't have groceries, and you are tired - this was a wonderful treat!  The hosts gave us many suggestions on our visit to New Orleans.  If you need to go to the store, it is close to many major stores and grocery stores.  It was clean and every staff person we met was helpful.  They even refilled our propane.  It's always nice to meet locals who have area recommendations and we appreciated the hospitality.

Tip: If you are looking for a unique, nature based experience, I highly recommend Captain Ronnie, owner of River of Swamp Boat Tours.  He takes you out on the bayou where you see the beautiful scenery, birds, trees and yes, alligators!  This was one of the highlights of our trip.

I really like this spot. It's got great scenery along the river, nice open spaces, well maintained, and there's a free shooting range including archery, pistol, and rifle areas. Decently maintained bathroom with a toilet. Icame mid December and am the only one camping. My only complaint that might bother some people would be the noise of the shooting range, but it's not that bad or frequent.

We stayed here last minute and it was the best decision! Our kids loved the lazy river, putt putt, and ice cream parlor. Adults loved the peaceful lake and paddle boarding. Great atmosphere and lots of fun. We will be back!

Got to the park with no reservation and found a spot no problem. There are both tent and RV slots. RV neighbors are visible, but there is a bit of space.,Each slot comes with a table on a wooden platform, a fire ring, and what appears to be a game hook, as well as a water spigot and electric hookup.

Took a walk before the rain set in. Many of the boardwalk trails appear to be closed due to storm damage. Saw a whole pack of night herons flying together. The bayou is spooky feeling with gator crossing zones and interesting cypress trees. Seems like it should be buggier than it is for on a warm day in late March.

The restroom and laundry room seem clean and well tended.
