Best Campgrounds near Homer, LA

153 Reviews

The Homer, Louisiana area features several established campgrounds with Lake Claiborne State Park serving as a central destination for outdoor recreation. Camping options range from developed sites with full hookups to more primitive experiences, with accommodations for tents, RVs, and cabin rentals available throughout the region. Kels Kove provides lakeside camping with amenities including electric hookups, while Sugar Creek Hunt Camp offers free dispersed camping opportunities for those seeking a more rustic experience. Most campgrounds in this region are situated near water bodies, providing access to fishing, boating, and other water-based activities.

Road access varies by campground, with most sites near Homer being drive-in accessible. Water and electric hookups are standard at developed sites including Lake Claiborne State Park and Beaver Dam Campground. According to one visitor, "The bathrooms were big and clean. Had A/C and the water was extremely hot." Cell service can be spotty throughout the area, with some reviews noting that "ATT works best, Verizon and Tmobile are spotty reception." The climate supports year-round camping, as most established sites in the region list their season as "All year," though summer brings higher humidity and temperatures that may impact comfort levels for tent campers.

Many campers highlight the waterfront sites as particularly desirable, with multiple reviews mentioning the quality of fishing and lake access. Lake Claiborne State Park receives consistent praise for its amenities and location. "We tent camp here in early Spring in the camping area #2 and comeback weekend after weekend. Many wonderfully marked hiking trails, two of the best frisbe golf courses in Louisiana," noted one regular visitor. Wildlife viewing opportunities include whitetail deer, various bird species, and aquatic wildlife. Beaver Dam Campground is recognized for its spacious, level sites and privacy between campsites. Campers should be aware that alligators are present in the lakes, with one review mentioning a ten-foot alligator being removed from Caney Lake, which might impact swimming plans for some visitors.

    Crow Lake Primitive Sites

    No annoying insects, just a place to park

    This is just the one campsite, but it's quite large and there's a turnaround which could be used for a second campsite if you have a vehicle that can handle it. The one at the top of the slope is better for larger vehicles though.

    I'm not sure if my bus would easily be able to handle going down that slope, but someone drove around it very easily in a Jeep with no trailer.

    When you enter the area, you'll see a split in the road. Take the right side and that's where this USACE campground is at.

    Ivan Lake Recreation Area

    Permit required, and check in and out.

    The first thing I saw was the board. I usually check that just to make sure I know what's going on and it says you need a permit in order to stay here and you also need to check in and out every single time you leave the campground which is just stupid. There's no reason for this aside from they just want to track you.

    Lincoln Parish Park

    Spiders Galore (October)

    I stayed in the primitive area, site 44. Large sites. Not flat. If you are a tent or SUV camper you will have a far different experience than the RV campers. The tree canopy in the primitive area is thick, and the primitive sites are completely under the trees, even the parking, so not much sunlight gets through in the daytime.  The parking areas are dirt.  No tent pads. After dusk, the harvestmen "spiders" were plenteous, even around my fire.  I had to put bright lights out to somewhat ward them off. They are very large, harmless (they eat spiders), but creepy nonetheless because they come right at you (random scurrying) which is just not relaxing. At dusk I also heard a loud scream from the women's bathroom.... Not sure what was in there, as I have my own facilities, but in the very early morning, a pest control vehicle showed up.  Well cared for place, gated, with friendly staff, just too jungly for my liking. Regarding the site map, the bath house, 43, and 44 are well within view of the RVs. You might prefer a site on tent camp road, as RV folks walk and ride bikes past 43 and 44 frequently.

    Red River South Marina-Resort

    Don’t go here if you are not going to fish

    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.

    Lake Bistineau State Park Campground

    Nice state park

    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.

    Cypress Black Bayou Recreation Area

    Really nice State Park camping

    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.
