Excellent park!
We originally had two nights booked at this campground, but after one night and spending a day on the trails here, we booked two more nights for a different campground that was available. We originally were insight 24, and then we moved over to site number six. Both of these two have no one beside them on one side, so it gave us some privacy and made us feel like we were really camping. Lol. It appears that a lot of people use this campsite as a stop over as they are traveling, because in the evenings it would fill up and then early the next morning lots of people would be gone. There are very spacious sites here, there were lots of very large bus RVs and fifth wheels. We have a small travel trailer, so we had loads of space around our campsite. Each paved and pretty level campsite has a nice paved picnic area with a picnic table and a fire ring. All of the hook ups were very well maintained. The dumpster is located near the bathhouse, which looks to be fairly new. There’s also a small laundromat here that I saw people going in and out of. Everything is very well-maintained throughout this park. The roads have obviously been repaved over the last few years, and there are nice cabins to be rented as well as spaces for tent campers. We saw a variety of birds while riding our bikes through the trails and around the swamp/marsh area. We also saw turtles and a few alligators. I record my GPS tracks when riding bicycles and we rode over 40 miles while there. The trails are a mixture of gravel and dirt, and there are shared roads. There were some more difficult trails, that we definitely would not ride again, but we saw other people that were very easily getting around on the trails. There are a lot of what seem to be local people who use this park for exercise, walking, running, bicycling, even people on scooters, people out, enjoying the solitude of sitting by the river, it’s really nice to see. The staff members that we encountered at the gate were very efficient and friendly. We ventured off site to a visit to a rum distillery for a tour one day and that was fun. There’s a nice dollar store nearby for any necessary items.

Little Lake Charles Resort
If you’ve got kids, 5 stars
This place has tons of stuff for kids to do. Only negatives really are poor WiFi, and lots of guest here work in the area so there’s lots of trucks moving around form 5-7 am and 4-6 in the evenings. Quite otherwise the rest of the time. Nice pond on site for swimming and fishing. Pools aren’t heated so water was cold at this time of year

Myers Landing and RV Park
You can do better
Their website says the rate is $40 but when you get there, it's $47+ dollars. 30 amp hookup had a negative ground and was unusable. There is not a sewer dump at each site but there are places scattered throughout the campground where you can dump. The lady at the store is very nice but the campground is not.

Fun trails
I liked the trails for both hiking and biking. For camping it just feels like a parking lot. The primitive tent sites (there are only 4) and super close to the rv sites. A plus if you don’t want to carry your things far, but there’s pretty much no privacy. Spacious day use areas and lots of bird activity

Convenient but little privacy nice trails
Full hookups, level concrete pads. Sites close together. Noisy neighbors. Nice trails through bayou landscape. Would come again for one night as it is convenient.

Beautiful Cypress Swamp Camping
This is an RV campground, for the most part. But I slept in my SUV. The slab camping is not private, BUT it also is not overrun with bugs. Very park like in the camping area. Restrooms/showers were clean and modern. The adjacent cypress swamp is pretty and has lots of paths to enjoy. There are cabin areas as well. Definitely would return.

Vampire mosquitos
Listening to the ocean waves is relaxing enough. I can hang out here for a week. Is green and spacious. The beach is few hundred feet away. There’s power and water. The site is level. Is sooo nice. Once the sun goes down. An army of vampire mosquitos descend on you and your pets. We were enjoying being outside and we had to get into our trailer. Spent a while killing them. Good thing we had walked the dogs. In the trailer the vampire mosquitos would be sucking on you as you killed them. They would be on you all over. Once sunrise came. They were gone. Even with a breeze they came.

New Remodel
They did a fantastic job putting in the new Campground with full hook ups and extra large sites! Bath house is close by but we honestly didn’t use it. Nice wide hiking/biking trails, lots of water access, beautiful new bridges and a nice big playground. We will definitely revisit!
Guide to Holly Beach
Sea Rim State Park Campground offers unique coastal camping options located between Gulf of Mexico beaches and extensive marsh wetlands. Visitors can choose between staying in the main campground area with hookups or primitive camping directly on the beach. The park gates lock at 10 pm sharp with no entry or exit permitted until morning. Mosquitoes are extremely abundant in this area, particularly at sunset, requiring thorough preparation for comfortable camping.
What to do
Paddle the marsh trails: Sea Rim State Park features designated kayak trails through wetlands where visitors can observe diverse wildlife. A reviewer noted, "Great kayaking trail map and recommendations from the rangers on where to go. There is hiking as well. Spend an afternoon or a week here." Bring insect repellent as mosquitoes are particularly active at dusk.
Beachcombing for shells: Sea Rim State Park Campground offers direct access to Gulf beaches with abundant seashells. "The beach was ok, not the nicest I've ever seen but the kids loved it. Lots of shells and treasures to be found. And very few other people around," shared one camper who visited with family.
Wildlife viewing: The marsh boardwalks provide opportunities to safely observe alligators and coastal birds. "The nature trail over the marsh was really cool, we saw lots of alligators and birds," reported a visitor who stayed at the park despite challenging conditions.
What campers like
Beach access: Myers Landing and RV Park offers waterfront sites on Lake Arthur. "We had a waterfront view and hated to leave to head home. Staff is so nice and accommodating!!!" wrote one camper about this glamping option near Holly Beach.
Privacy between sites: Some glamping cabins near Holly Beach provide more secluded options. "We camped here last week right off the beach. They had the BEST staff. Clean facilities. Tons of privacy," reported a Sea Rim camper who stayed during stormy weather conditions.
Evening ocean sounds: The sound of waves creates a peaceful atmosphere at coastal sites. "Listening to the ocean waves is relaxing enough. I can hang out here for a week. Is green and spacious. The beach is few hundred feet away," noted a Sea Rim visitor who rated the park highly despite mosquito challenges.
What you should know
Gate closure policies: Jean LaFitte RV Park maintains strict access hours. At Sea Rim, one visitor warned: "I've been camping around the country for four months straight now and this is the only park - national, state, regional or otherwise - that I've encountered that literally locks their gate at night... There is no way in, no way out until the next morning."
Intense mosquito presence: Insect repellent is absolutely essential at coastal locations. "We had read reviews before going and thought we knew what we were in for...but there was nothing to prepare us for these mosquitoes... They were even in the pop up. I have small children, and don't like them getting eaten."
Water quality varies: Some parks have water with mineral content. At Myers Landing, a reviewer observed, "the water smelled very badly like metal and we had to turn it off and use our own tank water since it smelled so yucky."
Tips for camping with families
Bring extra bug protection: Little Lake Charles Resort offers glamping close to Holly Beach, Louisiana with family-friendly amenities. "Lots to do with pool, water slide, water play area mini golf and fishing," shared a visitor who previously stayed when it operated as a Yogi Bear park.
Plan for weather changes: Coastal storms can impact beach camping. "Not a great beach to camp on in stormy weather. No rock/sea wall to slow the surge or wave action," warned a Sea Rim State Park camper who visited during rougher conditions.
Research bathroom facilities: Shower availability varies between parks. "There is a very nice laundry room that is free. That was a great perk. There are 3 washers and 3 dryers. Several of the units seemed brand new," reported a camper at Sam Houston Jones State Park.
Tips from RVers
Leveling requirements: Sam Houston Jones State Park sites may require adjustment. "Most of the campground is not level, but nothing bad enough that you can't get level with blocks," shared a reviewer who stayed for a week during rainy conditions.
Beach driving access: For RVs with appropriate clearance, Sea Rim offers unique beach parking. "If you pull onto the beach and drive either on the west or east to beach you find a spot in the sand that you really like that can be your campsite. This is one of the few state parks that really does have primitive camping on the beach just yards from the seashore."
Site selection strategy: At Sam Houston Jones State Park, location matters. "We were in spot #53 and I would highly recommend that spot. We only had one neighbor to one side, and it felt a bit more isolated than the others. When things are full on the weekends, it can seem a bit crowded with spots being close together."
