I’ve been going here all my life and even though a live a couple states away now. It’s my go to place to stay when I return. There is showers available as well. Grocery store 6 miles where you can purchase wood as well.

    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.

    New State Park

    All sites are cement and level.  Pedestals are close and everything works.  NO shade at the campground.  There is a beach for the kids.  Great speck kayak fishing in the fall.  Nice place overall.  Didn't visit the bath house, full hookups at the RV sites.  Breeze is always blowing.  Good AT&T.  Didn't try the park WIFI, not sure if its available at this time.

    Camp Margaritaville RV Resort Breaux Bridge

    Super fun place to be

    Our site was $63 a night for 5 nights & $79 for two nights. We got a weekly rate of $574.16

    We were in Site# 2144 The check in was at 12pm and Check out is at 11am.
    We had Full hook- up with a concrete pull-through.
    We travel towing a 14 foot trailer and were able to fit both in our pull through site along with my jeep.

    The site was easy to level.

    Our site was fairly shaded with one tree. This was a smaller lot with our neighbors fairly close.

    The lot comes with a concrete patio with picnic table and fire ring.

    It is an easy access to the campground from highway -(less than 1 mile from highway).

    There is free WiFi. They offer Cable TV and there are many channels.

    There is not a community outdoor kitchen but do have quite a few community fire pits.
    They sell wood but were out the entire week we were there.

    They pickup your garbage at your site daily.

    You are allowed to ride personal golf carts. They also allow you to rent golf carts. It is beneficial to have a golf cart to get around since it is a large campground. They would not let us use our e-bikes around the campground.

    They do have multiple swimming pools including a water playground and splash pad. There is a huge hot tub. We especially loved the 21+pool with swim up bar. Water Amenities are open from March 29th-October 26th. You can also rent poolside cabanas. They have a few smaller ponds for catch & release fishing.

    They have a decent general store with some food, accessories, and clothes options.

    There is a separate Activity Center for kids. There are tons of scheduled activities for kids like gem mining, tie dying, candle making, candy bar bingo, sand art, etc.

    There is a Playground. They also offer pickleball, cornhole, and basketball sport court. There is a Game room for kids. They have a workout room for adults.

    There are three bars (one serving food) and a separate concession stand that also serves food.

    Right outside of the park is a delicious restaurant/fresh seafood market with a daiquiri drive thru (many flavors).

    There is live music on site!

    The streets are paved and good for riding bikes. There is not really anywhere to ride bikes outside of campground.

    They have multiple RV slip options along with cabins/cottages/villas for rent. Tent camping is not allowed.

    They have many shower houses. The shower house has individual bathrooms with your own sink, shower, toilet. These are kept very clean.

    There is a few laundry facilities. They allow you to use cash or credit card. It is approximately $2 to wash and $2to dry a load.

    They have a fenced in dog park (Barkaritaville) with a dog wash. It is located in the back far corner of the park.

    Bugs were a little bit of an issue and bug spray was definitely needed.

    There were no trails to hike in the campground but the park is so huge, it is a great walk within itself.

    We shopped at the local market outside of the park and the Piggly Wiggly. We went on the Cajun Food Tour and definitely recommend this (link on CM’s website).

    Mosquitoes

    The mosquitoes were horrible. We left the doors open to our car to move our stuff to go to sleep and there were about 20 mosquitoes in our car as we were ready to go to bed. It was a nice spot but definitely don’t leave car doors open or bring some bug

    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)

    Neat area but lots of mosquitoes even on March 2, 2024

    About three miles on well maintained gravel. Nice area, although fairly remote. Clean. Well maintained. There were 3 others camping when we got there. A couple of folks were shooting their rifles at the gun range for a while. Fishermen came and went at the boat ramp. Quieted down at sunset. Swarms of mosquitoes on March 2, 2024. I wouldn’t plan to cook outside. We found (well) water available at the ranger/mangers station to refill our trailer. Plus it’s free!

    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.

    We had it to ourselves, so spot on for that

    We thought on the way here, we might not be able to get in but had the place to ourselves, which was great, apparently there's another campsite farther on so the parks staff told us, but we stayed here.  Only complaint 'man those bugs be bugs', bring bug spray, thermisills, and anything else you can think of to combat them, stayed end of February.  Wonderful setting.  Had a campfire tonight and got visited by 2 armadillos, fabulous !!

    Nice park. Lanes are labeled clearly, so our spot was super easy to find after hrs. Clean and spacious pull-thru. Heated pool. Nice folks run the park. Pretty quiet even though it's right off the I10.

    Perfect Disconnected on the Water Getaway

    We stayed at spot 38. We we're right on the water with our own dock/deck. Close to the restrooms but not much through traffic. Dumpster was right across next to the bathrooms. Not a lot of street lights throughout the campground made things nice and quiet at night. Spots were asphalt and needed a decent bit of leveling. The water and electricity hookups were on the camp side, which made for an awkward parking job to accommodate for the cord lengths. The site had no Verizon cell service, in order to receive notifications or just make a phone call you have to walk back towards the main road. The hiking trails were very nice with lots of shorts and long options. The canoe trails were also nice with the ability to rent kayaks or canoes. Overall the campground was clean, relativity quiet, right on the water, and is perfect if you are looking to disconnect.

    Great free primitive spot with unique ammentities

    I really like this spot. It's got great scenery along the river, nice open spaces, well maintained, and there's a free shooting range including archery, pistol, and rifle areas. Decently maintained bathroom with a toilet. Icame mid December and am the only one camping. My only complaint that might bother some people would be the noise of the shooting range, but it's not that bad or frequent.

    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!

    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.

    Our plans changed. Our refund is in a credit to be used at a later date. Bummer. Guess I lost that $45.

    Wonderful place to stop!

    My wife and are traveling for work and found this gem off the highway. Mr. Jason is incredibly communicative and helpful. There are plenty of shaded spots and windbreaks from all directions. The bathrooms are clean and the showers are hot. The picnic area has plenty of seating and shade to enjoy those relaxing days.

    Pothole Hell

    PROS

    $7 Veteran discount 

    Wooden picnic table 

    No road noise. 

    It only 5 miles from Interstate 10 

    TMOBILE 2 bars 

    Just a couple homesteaders 

    Sites 1-12 Have the least pot holes in the roadway. 

    Site 4 has a large wood swing at pond’s edge 

    CONs

    $8 transaction fee which basically cancelled out the $7 veteran discount

    Wristbands that had to be worn at all times. We never encountered any wristband police so we didn’t wear. 

    Campground road in horrendous condition with non stop pot holes 

    Only 2 women’s and 2 men’s toilets for the entire park which are in the pool house. Since we didn’t see any other on the campground map we inquired at the welcome center/office/store and they confirmed those are it for the park. 

    Site#22 not level 

    Sites tightly slammed together 

    Our campfire ring was under the next sites camper slide out, so totally unuseable 

    Some site concrete pads have a foot drop off to the surrounding grass/dirt 

    Power interruption 

    Wifi signal interrupted every 10-15 minutes with only 8 RVs in the park. 

    Most sites no shade

    Great place to stay- no cell service

    We stayed here and enjoyed the nature surrounding us. We had no cell service but enjoyed the playground and splash pad while we were there. We also attended the crawfish festival closeby.
