Best Campgrounds near Haughton, LA

Campground for fishermen (Probably). Very, like very, dirty toilets and totally unhygienic environment.

You don’t want to be here if you want to relax.

Roads in the park have recently been replaced. My spot #46 was nice and level and included a deck. Got in some kayaking. Beautiful lake for paddling. Looking forward to going back. Only wish they had some full hookup sites available. I hear that’s coming soon.

Big sites, with a lot of them on the water. A lot have full hookups including sewer. Very quiet. Swim beaches and fishing piers. Even got enough cell service to power Verizon hub for tv.

The facilities were great. Clean and well kept. The site that we stayed at (#34) was too close to the main road and the noise from the cars was so loud, which led to an awful nights sleep. Also there was a cat (seemed like a camp cat) that roamed around all night and that freaked out my dog. The lake itself was fantastic and otherworldly. Absolutely beautiful in early November. Definitely gonna visit again but will not camp here.

Peaceful at night. Fairly private sites. Beautiful bayou.

I've never seen anything so unique and beautiful as Caddo Lake!! Like being in a movie! The State Park campground is immaculate, staff and hosts are super friendly. Fishing, kayaking, canoeing, boat tours, walking/hiking trails, awesome! Nearby historical town of Jefferson was a quaint day trip or artists, shops and eateries. What a trip! Can't wait to revisit Caddo Lake and all its beauty!

This place was quiet and very peaceful. We had our own fishing pier at our site. The bathroom were big and clean. Had A/C and the water was extremely hot.

I have heard about this small village and really want to come here to visit and talk to the people living here, I strands nyt really want to come but my place is really too far from here but I will try to arrange the time.

I’ve been to A LOT of parks all over the U.S. I was passing through the area and my Roadtrippers app suggested this park. I love state parks and this one did not disappoint. I came through when it was raining (7/25/24) with no reservation and needed a place to recover and rest for the night. That wasn’t a problem at all. The staff were friendly and accommodating and there is hardly anyone camping here. It’s so quiet and peaceful and when I asked to be put on a site near the water (always my preference) they gave me the best site for the night! Plenty of running room for my dog and there’s a TON of room between sites, as others have said. The sites are large, too. I wish I could stay longer. There are fishing piers and I could certainly sit out there for hours. As we walked around woodpeckers squawked and flew through the trees. This one has been added to my favorites list. I’ll be back!

We rolled in without a reservation which led to a wonderful interaction with the gate people. My dog came in as well to entertain them while I selected a site.

I had the pick of many because it was February. I loved the spaciousness of each site leaving a lot of room between you and your neighbors.

The bathhouse was immaculately clean. I went in expecting a typical park shower room with spiders or bugs. There were NONE. The bathhouse was heated and a welcome chance to shower in something other than a matchbox.

I really can't recommend enough.

Come see the beautiful outdoors with a nice pond. We're it feels like your home away from home in the Piney woods of East Texas. Marshall Meadows has the perfect spot and plenty of space for you and your family.

Came to town from a nearby base for our child’s specialized medical treatments. Tent spots are $4 a night, enclosed in a lightly wooded area, and only few yards away from both the bathroom and the playground. It was perfect for our needs. We even stayed a couple extra nights because the kids enjoyed it so much. Great spot for families with little ones wanting a mild camping experience because amenities are right there and it’s secluded enough that kids feel they are getting a true camping experience. The base has a wonderful walking trail/ outdoor display of aircraft that our toddlers thoroughly enjoyed. Extremely glad we took a chance on this underrated spot.

This village might be small, but its charm is boundless. wordle unlimited

Jake from the Dyrt here! Marshall Meadows is a great place to spend some time if you want to slow down a little and enjoy a peaceful country setting!  Check them out and share some pics of your stay!

Nice campground on a loop many sites have lake view. Nice hiking trails. I didn’t use the bathhouse facilities but did see host cleaning them daily. Mountain bikers like the trails. I don’t ride a mountain bike but saw some out there when I was hiking. My site was very nice and level. Not completely secluded but large enough that I felt like I had plenty of privacy. The site I had overlooked the boat launch area which is separate from the campground but the fishermen were quiet. I never heard them putting in or taking out their boats.
