Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Jackson, LA

Basic campground with pool, awesome dog park area at campground. If leAve Koa property towards back via bike or foot there is a nice park with playground equipment and another large dog area

There are derelict travel trailers laying around.  It smells of sewer.  When it rains it is very muddy,  with ankle deep water.  One of the managers drives around on a golf cart,  harassing the tenets.  Knocking on doors in the middle of the night.  There is a dirty old man,  who lives there, he preys on women. The managers outside dog has heartworm,  keep your pet safe.  You have to pay $10 per person a day to use the pool.  They charge $10 per person per day to fish in the lake,  no fish.

Have visited twice. First visit, my original campsite was flooded and was able to switch to another site. Last trip was good but site 35 is very close to 33. The fire rings are within 30 feet of each other and can hear other campers talk, however the primitive sites were nice. They have about 4-5 trails, a splashpad, nature center and you can rent a canoe. Had alot of fun and is pet friendly.

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.

Drugs abound, roaming dogs and trailer junk yard

Nice spot, area for dogs, cute gift shop and very nice staff.

Hung out in the primitive area for a few days with my dog Dahli. Lots of wildlife (human and otherwise)! Overall a great trip

This camp is perfect for us! We have two dogs so green space is important-check. It is hot so a lot of shade trees are important-check. Not stacked in like cordwood-check. This camp is really lovely and provides a lot of space between campsites. The only downside for us was the pads are not so level and no laundry. But we would recommend this place in a heartbeat!

Lamar Dixon outside Baton Rogue but not far from New Orleans either. This is a good in between spot to pitch your tent and visit all the very cool places roun'cher.

I always worry whenever we are anywhere with possible gators so we didn't go looking and were careful at night. Im sure the locals would get a laugh outta watching me walk my dogs in any of the over grown/swampy/near water areas.

Nice enough basic campground, well maintained and not horribly busy since school is back in. We visited the areas around the campground and spent very little time in the campground.

One of the most beautiful camp sites in LA. The geography here is not like anywhere else I have seen in Louisiana very nice and the owner is super accommodating.

There are derelict travel trailers laying around. Very muddy, when it rains, with ankle deep water. There is burn pile with trash in it.  There is a dog roaming around with heartworm, watch your animals please.  When the manager's rides around all hours of the day-and-night on a golf cart harassing people knocking on their doors he doesn't seem to care whos Door he knocks on, in the middle of the night. There is a very tall old man, who hits on women.   The police were there several times A-day. I think their drugs being sold in the back part of it. This so called the melodies of the pool is a joke.. You have to pay $10 A-day per person to swim in it even though you live there.

Spent the weekend camping at one of the improved sites with water on site. Site had picnic table, fire pit, and plenty of room for tents and your camp set-up. Our site had a great view of the creek and was a little more tucked away but right by the bathrooms. Trails are throughout the area, couple of fishing spots, lots of picnic areas with grills and a playground. The place was not very crowded and the US Forest Service ranger (Virginia) was very kind and helpful. We hiked some of Richardson Creek Trail, but decided to turn around because it was overgrown at points and we found ticks on our dog. Otherwise, it was a beautiful walk through the woods. Several large banana spiders set up along the way so keep an eye out! Also, the county is supposed to be under a fire burn until the end of October.

This campground is in a Louisiana Wildlife Management Area in Tunica Hills. Did not get to spend a night but spent an hour checking out this site. Basically an open field. There are porta-potties on site and a deer cleaning rack for hunting season. No dedicated spots, just basically pop your tent anywhere you can find a spot, however seems to be a fair amount of spots. Primitive only.

This was a great little spot to spend a few days.  We had an amazing time watching the wildlife and enjoying the water in the middle of nowhere Louisiana.  There is a bar not too far away that we enjoyed meeting some locals at.  Our hotspots worked great here to have a productive work week too.  Be careful how you get here though!!  There is a low clearance bridge that takes you over the levee that there is no way an RV would clear.  Be sure to check maps/directions and plan accordingly!!

Tickfaw State Park is a Louisiana State Park located just outside of Springfield, LA.  The park is not very large, but big enough not to constantly run into people.  On this visit, we took our Christmas pictures along the “Cypress Gum Trial” - a boardwalk walk trail located across the street from the campsites and around the playground(s).  There is a nice covered area with picnic tables.  There are 2 camping loops - (1) for tents and (1) for RV’s.  Our site, #37 on the tent loop, we had enough space as well as privacy.  We went the weekend after Thanksgiving and the park was not overcrowded and the weather was perfect.  I did find the boardwalk trail was VERY slippery covered in wet leaves.

This park is VERY family friendly.

Camping - There are 2 loops - 1-primative tent only camping, 1-RV/tent camping. There is a nice bathhouse in a central location to both loops. There is a bit of privacy between tent spots because of the trees. My favorite spots are 47,49,50. I have had a few of my reservations cancelled by the park when the river is high because the camping areas will flood.

Park - there are few different hiking trails - check Tickfaw River levels (or call park) because when the river is high, 1 or 2 of the trails could be under water. There is a ADA boardwalk trail that is very nice (especially for the kiddos) with a covered picnic area. The park offers a nature center that is really nice and they have animal demonstrations where you are able to really learn about Louisiana wildlife and touch the animals as well. This park is a great place to bring bikes as well. During the summer months, there is a splash pad that kids really enjoy. This is also a great park to rent canoes (or bring your own) for a day out on the waterways.

This place is no longer green acres campground. It is now pleasant pines RV Park. No tents allowed.

Owner sand management are the nicest people. Quite, peaceful and in a close location to town. Would stay here again if I am ever in the area. They have change their name to Peaceful Pines and the name says it all.
