    Rutherford Beach Dispersed Camping

    Simple and easy

    Apple Maps took me to the wrong place but Google maps took me exactly where I needed to be. If you see the sign for Rutherford beach “left” and Apple Maps tells you to keep going straight, just turn left and start following the signs. 2Wd accessible as long as you avoid some small pockets of soft sand. The mosquitoes mentioned in other reviews are not an issue when it’s 40 degrees and windy! Lol Also, this location is very far from most grocery stores and gas stations (about 30-45mins) so plan accordingly. Cops will roll through once or twice a day just to check on people.

    overall good place to set up. There were some controlled burns in the area so a little smoky. There are porta-johns at the entrance.

    Rutherford Beach Dispersed Camping

    Out of the way gem

    This place is way out of the way you're going to be 45 minutes from the nearest Walmart. Cell phone service when it's working is good although there were two outages in the week I was there. There does not seem to be a time limit for staying, if there is it's not enforced. Plenty of spots along the ocean there's even two rows of compacted sand for a lot of it. Speaking of sand it will get everywhere in your camper. I was there beginning of February and the mosquitoes are relentless. Bring bug spray make sure it's got deet. Everyone I met there was very nice.

    Nice RV park close to sports complex

    We visited for a softball tournament and the location is perfect, less than a mile from the complex. The park was well kept. There is a small fishing pond so bring a pole. My husband caught a bass. It was stocked with perch as well. The owner was friendly and very appreciative of our business. Would definitely stay again if we are in the area. Verizon and AT&T cell service worked well.

    Best Family Friendly RV Park

    Bundick Lake Retreat and RV is simply amazing! The spacious RV sites are surrounded by beautiful scenery, and the lake views are breathtaking. We loved the pool, game room, and mini golf course, which kept our family entertained for hours. The pavilion with picnic areas was perfect for gatherings. The staff was friendly and helpful, making our stay even better. This is the perfect spot for a relaxing getaway—I can't recommend it enough!

    North Campground — Chicot State Park

    Great camping in the heart of La

    We stopped at this campground for one night on our way home. Some of the sites are close together, but we called and they put us in a spot that was very spacious. There were almost no other campers there so it helps to go in the middle of the week. The staff was very friendly and they had a great hiking path and playground for our 5 year old. I biked most of the paved roads in the state park and was able to go 13 miles without doubling anywhere. The cabins looked great from the outside and are located right on the lake. There is a long fishing pier and boat rentals. This is definitely one we will return to. Also, it is located very close to a lot of antique shopping which my wife wouldn’t let me pass up on my way home.

    White Oak Parish Park Campground

    Great Find

    Our RV GPS and Waze took us right to White Oak Park. We went directly to pull through site 6 with FHUs. All sites are pull-throughs and the 3 FHUs nearest the bathhouse have long pads(easily fit our 40” 5th wheel and F450 plus are more spacious than their 5 water and electric sites. All the sites have a really nice stand-up barbecue and their own trash can. Water pressure was good at 50 psi and we had no issues with utilities. There are some trees, but we were able to get a north sky shot for Starlink. We got 2 bars on Verizon. There’s a playground and a boat ramp into the river not far away. Right about dusk when the mosquitos started coming out, a spray truck came in, which was nice. The campground (CG) host who lives in the Thibodeau house across from site 6, came by to get one of our driver’s license numbers as check-in. Two roosters were running around the CG that started crowing at about 3:00 AM. Our Riley friends had suggested this quaint little 8-site CG and we wished we had stayed more than just overnight in this quaint little city park.

    South Campground — Chicot State Park

    SUPERB

    We were there November 5th and basically had the whole campground to ourselves. (there were probably 6 other campers scattered around the park). Our site was huge and even if there were other campers we would not have been able to see them.

    Not the easiest park to get to but well worth it. At dusk the mosquitoes came out but what do you expect staying in a Louisiana bayou?? Had decent cell coverage w/ T-mobile (3 bars). Have some great trails throughout the park (mainly at the north campground)

    Rutherford Beach Dispersed Camping

    beach camping

    Great spot to pull over your car to park on the sand. Lots of other RVs but not crowded and theres a long stretch of hard packed sand that i was able to access without a truck or RV. More people showed up around 5 but stayed a bit and left. Quiet night and morning.

    anyone I talked to was friendly but reiterated it wasn't safe to swim, kind of disappointing but oh well.

    One review here mentioned mosquitoes and its true, spent about an hour before bed slapping myself silly from all the ones that had gotten inside.

    overall really easy place to pull up to, really pretty.

    Mosquitos ruin it

    The views are alright and it’s nice to have free beach access and a few amenities but I have never seen such thick clouds of mosquitos in my life. Made the grave mistake of opening the van door at night and spent the next TWO DAYS hunting down hundreds of mosquitos in our van from those two seconds. It was a nightmare.

    Lafayette KOA

    Not a quiet place

    This is our second stop here. The first was in late December several years ago. This time is early spring. It’s an older campground, and shows wear. This isn’t a quiet campground. It is right next to the interstate, there is light industry around, and trains. Noise all night long! Some sites have cracked pads. Some of the equipment doesn’t work. Sites are too close together (maybe 10 feet apart) and the neighbor’s sewer hook up was next to our picnic table. Just plain unsanitary! But it is ok for a stop for a night or 2. Playground for the kids looked nice. Small pool but not opened in late February. They have a lake for fishing and boating but didn’t see anyone doing either during our stay. This is Cajun country. Walking distance to Billy’s Cajun market for great boudin balls and alligator pies.

    Relaxing

    We chose Hidden Pines for our first trip with new travel trailer due to close to home. Not a lot of campers due to expected heavy rainfall. It did rain, but only one night so had relaxing time outdoors during daytime. Very impressed with Campground - no puddles or standing water with the amount of rain received. The sites are well planned. Staff and family members were extremely nice and offered any help. Will plan more trips to Hidden Pines!

    Bayou Wilderness RV Resort

    Perfect I-10 / I-49 stop

    We do not like to get too far off of our route. Bayou Wilderness is 4.5 miles from I-49 just north of I-10. The park is exceptionally well maintained. The pool is nice and there is a playground next to the pool. The Laundry/Bath House is clean and the bathrooms are modern. There are three separate bathrooms with a toilet and a shower. The laundry has 6 washers ($2.00) and 6 working dryers ($2.50). This is an excellent overnight stay with FHU. It is worth it. I I travel south again I would plan this stop on my route.
