This park is absolutely stunning. the camping spots are spread out for a more personal experience. Here you can fish, kayak, swim, and dont forget to swing by the Arboretum. very scenic "Louisiana" park

If you like Louisiana Wildlife this is the place for you! I saw a couple of lounging alligators, egrets, snapping turtles, deer, and a chipmunk!!! I was kind of scared when I saw a sign on the trails warning of the gators! As far as RV camping, it wasn't a really nice area. The site we were in was 56, I don't reccomend it. Pretty unlevel and very close to other campers. When it rained, the water pooled on the backside and where the picnic table was. There was a shower house. It was old, but really clean.

It's a decent spot for being nearby to Lafayette. The thing I don't like is the expensive prices for State Parks in Louisiana and the closed gates that don't allow late night entrance. Small man made pond in the back, watched a kid catch a large bass a few years back. The primitive hike in spots are on the back side of the pond so you have to hike in about a mile to rent camp for cheaper than the price of the RV pull up spots. This is a newer state park and it has nice, clean, large facilities with showers and bathrooms. The trail is super short. Overall the park is very small. Fun spot for kayak fishing. Noticed lots of invasive apple snails.

The campground is very nice, the lakeside is beautiful, we loved the little market right in the front by the lake and the lady working there is very nice. However 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. Not sure if that's the case on every camp site.
ScoutClean well kept. Extremely friendly staff beautiful location
ScoutDon’t know why I’ve never heard of this place before but it’s amazing. Rustic mom and pop place tucked away in a country setting right on the water. We had a waterfront view and hated to leave to head home. Staff is so nice and accommodating!!! Will be back!!!

We’ve not been during the summer, but we loved our kids’ Mardi Gras weekend here. Lots of cultural fun and activities for kids and family. More like a state park when it comes to plenty of shade and room between sites. Barn dances on a lot of weekends with live bands. Fun little place. Lots of perks during the summer. Some folks can get rowdy, but overall a good time.
ScoutClean cozy park with shade.
GuideHad such a great and relaxing time! Rented the kayak for an hour multi times. Water is cold and refreshing. The property is remarkably clean and well kept! Always a worker around to help! We made friends with everyone! Love this gem!
LegendDon't get me wrong, I am not antisocial, but when I go camping I really want the natural quiet of nature. It was pretty busy, with many people gathered and partying. Kids driving crazy on golf carts. Otherwise, the property is pretty. The sites are easily accessible (our camper is approximately 30 ft). The showers were not available d/t covid 19, but were there. Our site 12 was level and had full hookups. Pet friendly. Large trees. Store on site and snack shop near the beach. Very kid friendly.
LegendWe stayed here Friday through Sunday in site 110. Not a perfect site due to no shade. The site was gravel and grass, pretty level. Our camper is 27 ft and it fit nicely, though larger ones would have problems. Be sure to bring extra sewer hose, the sewer is a far reach! The site behind and on the right are very close. (Since we were here for a nearby softball tournament, it was ok.) Site was full hookup for 30 amp only. Amenities include a fishing pond, a swimming pond with inflatables, playground, store, and a dance/concert barn with live music. Also a very clean laundromat and bathhouse. The park management were very sweet and helpful. A little pricey at Friday and Saturday 55 dollars a night, 45 for Sunday through Thursday. Cabins and an apartment are also available to rent.

GuideAfter the excessive affluence of southern California, this bare-bones RV park felt a little frightening. It is adjacent to a gas station and there's no vegetation, but there are some old mattresses and the like. However, the gas station is convenient, there is a nice little store with personal use restrooms, and a there's a well-kept coin laundry. This is not the kind of RV park where merry couples are enjoying their retirement. Instead, it is a place where hard-working people are doing their best to get by. Despite everyone being actually quite friendly, I would have felt a little more relaxed if I had a large dog with me. Or a very smart monkey.

Is one of the best campgrounds we’ve stayed. Don’t get me wrong bathrooms need a little love but everything else is great. We stayed there for two months Paid 650 per month. Electric, water, sewer, WiFi The first month was kinda rough bc of stupid COVID nothing was open. But the second month changed everything. We had great time. Love the laundry mat lol is a blessing when you have kids in the pool everyday.
ScoutTrashy stuff all over, a garbage can that looks like it's been there a year never emptied, molding. had to move trash to park the camper. There are nicer sites but the back end of them are not up kept seemingly at all.
GuideLots to do with pool, water slide , water play area mini golf and fishing. Stayed when it was a Yogi Bear park.
LegendThey 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!
GuideThis are has been hit by multiple hurricanes, flooding and fires. The rebuilding process is taking time but it is on it's way. Large viewing ponds of alligators, turtles and birds are surrounded by walking and biking trails for all different levels of activity. The sites are only full rv hookup because thats where the money is. Hopefully primative tent sites will open in the next year or two. Laundry, bathhouse and wifi are available. Ice, camping needs are NOT available for purchase but only an 8 minute drive away. Slight constant hum of traffic can be heard otherwise very quiet camp.
GuideYou feel like you’re camping in a parking but fine renovations clean restrooms with WiFi. $20 night with senior discount
Travelerthis park is large enough to enjoy for an entire weekend. plenty of walking trails, bike trails, and places for the kids to play. great rv campground. Very relaxing with great views
GuideThis park is old and needs some work, but we enjoyed the stay. We were there mid-February 2019 and stayed for a week. It rained almost the entire time we were there so didn’t get to explore as much as we would have liked. However, one day we were able to walk the trail beside the river which was very nice and well-maintained. The campground is small and for the weekend it was full. During the week there were very few campers. 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. It never felt like to cramped for us because we had (IMO) one of the best spots in the campground. Some spots have full hook-up, while others are electricity and water only. Ours was electricity and water only. The dump station is nearby and if you need to dump with a tote you could easily do so. Most of the campground is not level, but nothing bad enough that you can’t get level with blocks. 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. We took advantage of that and did some laundry during our stay. Like I said, it rained the entire time, so the site was muddy, but not as bad as we thought it would get. Internet access was good. We had 3-4 bars of AT&T and Verizon. Lake Charles and Sulphur are not far away and have anything you need while visiting. The park has some nice scenery and the trail provided some good wildlife. The main things they need to do to improve it would be fix some of the roads/camping spots that have significant potholes. Also, the camping spots could benefit from some grading to make them a bit more level. It is my understanding that the park has made vast improvements recently and it shows. Give it a bit more time and it will be a great place to stay. Overall, we would probably camp there again. Cost is $20/night during the week and $28/night on the weekend. These price are for off-peak season.
GuideThe State Park was clean grass was cut , workers always walking around picking up trash.
TravelerThis is my return visit to this park I truly love coming here.
Guide$20 for site with hookups plus $3/person/night. The sites are level with adequate spacing. Showers are clean and hot but pressure is lacking. They are the push kind so you must continually press to keep the water running. The river walk from the campground is really nice. Office is helpful and kind.
RangerI'm not one to give bad reviews frequently. And hopefully things have changed. But, back in 2016, this was one of the worst and dirtiest campgrounds we have ever stayed at. It wasn't dirt like normal outdoor activity dirt. It was dirt like the bathroom hadn't been cleaned in a year.
RangerTypical state park campground area to suite campers/rv's & tents. Must reserve sites for 2-day minimums or more on weekends. Many of the campsites are shaded. They have bath houses w/ showers and flush toilets. Since it is close to Lake Charles, LA and other towns, this park does get used by both locals and others. SHJSP is surrounded by water on 2 or 3 sides, and has low water areas within the park. Thus, it is a popular place to go for fishing, canoeing, kayaking. The birding is very good here most times of the year, and there is deer that live on state park property here. Mosquitos can be really rough here certain times of the year. Hiking trails are ok here, but nothing awesome, except a couple boardwalks & viewing platforms are nice.
ScoutIt's has been an amazing experience for Daisy my pup and myself.
