Strolling through four ecosystems on over a mile of boardwalks through Tickfaw State Park, visitors can experience the sights and sounds of a cypress/tupelo swamp, a bottomland hardwood forest, a mixed pine/hardwood forest and the Tickfaw River. Periodically the park site serves the region by detaining floodwaters when winter and spring rains overflow the steep banks of the Tickfaw River. These periods of occasional flooding offer a unique opportunity to educate visitors on the importance of periodic flooding in the cycle of life that makes wetlands an invaluable habitat and breeding ground for wildlife and fisheries. At Tickfaw State park, you can go night hiking or listen to the swamp nightlife from the porch of your vacation cabin. Check at the Nature Center for scheduled programs. While there, view the 800-gallon aquarium stocked with fish found in the Tickfaw River. There are also displays featuring the animals, history and culture of the area and of Louisiana. Be sure to watch the 8-minute introductory video about the history of the park area. Bicycle, stroll or skate the interconnecting park roadways. Bring your canoe or kayak and take a fun-filled trip on this unique section of the Tickfaw River. The Water Playground offers refreshing fun for those not quite adventurous enough to explore the swamps and sloughs.

The owners allow nails and other hazards for your tires everywhere. Most of the people in there are addicts and honestly you will have people coming to your door in the middle of the night looking to score some illegal substances

It was very nice
TravelerWith all the new renovations over the past 4 years this is a much improved campground. Great place to camp or stop if you want to visit New Orleans or surrounding areas.
Traveler
clean, naturally and quiet
no wlan and a bad mobil connection
restrooms and laundry are o.k.
rangers are super and nice
the waterplayground is top for the kids
the street/way to the State Park is very trashy and a little bit scary
Traveler
Very friendly staff, Was disappointed the band had canceled that was the reason for the trip other than that nothing much to do at the campground
Traveler
The mosquitoes were horrible. We left the doors open to our car to move our stuff to go to sleep and there were about 20 mosquitoes in our car as we were ready to go to bed. It was a nice spot but definitely don’t leave car doors open or bring some bug
Guide
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.
Traveler
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.

Ms. Brenda is the best! This campground has all the amenities! Hot water is tricky but the coffee pot makes up for it. There’s a microwave as well. Most of all the sites are separated by the ravines. We hiked down to the creek from the site and also went on trail C at tunica. I wouldn’t recommend trail c if you have small kids unless you wear them in a pack. Brenda has wood you can purchase if you forgot or run out. We were right next to the bathroom, sink, and shower.
TravelerAbout 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!
ScoutWe 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 !!
RangerFirst trip back since Hurricane Ida. Since my last visit, they have added a lot of tentrr sites in the tent section and 2 or 3 around the lake. The paddle trail is open, and while paddling, I saw a family of otters. There’s only around 2 hiking trails open, one around the lake and a portion of the long trail, which goes to the river, in and out. Spoke with a ranger who stated they think most of the trails will be open in 8 months.

Real nice people and peaceful
ScoutThe most peaceful place
LegendAshley here with The Dyrt. We're so happy to welcome Bayou River Event Center to our platform. Check them out and come back here to leave them some love!
Travelerif you sleep in, the adjacent shooting range makes for a rough morning but honestly not bad at all. well-maintained bathroom and picnic tables

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.
GuideI 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.

Great place to chill in water while camping during the summer! We booked last min so didn’t get to really pick our site. We were up in the front and didn’t really have any trees around that gave any kind of shade! Pools and lazy river was about the only entertainment but for adults it was fine!
ScoutWe 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!

You can definitely tell that the majority of people here are full-time residents. They only have one portion of the park that is available for short stays, although we really did enjoy the path along the lake, the pool and playground.  The bathrooms and showers are very clean and they have laundry on site. 
ScoutGot 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.

Mmmm

Beautiful park! The lake views were amazing in the morning watching the sun come up. Love the amenities they provided we loved the playground that was covered which allowed us to play with our kids in the heat of the day and even with rain. They also had a pool that was very clean and nice laundry on premises. Bathroom to use was also very clean.
If I had to list a drawback, the traffic on the main road was very loud throughout the night, even with a large privacy fence .
TravelerNice shop has everything you would need. No 110 electric outlets only 30 and 50 amp service. Pool is broken bathroom and showers were good. Clean laundry room. Sites and roads are clean and nice
