  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.

  Lake Fausse Pointe State Park Campground

  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.

  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 

  Streetlights throughout park

  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.

  Coffee with the gators

  We love this park. We had morning coffee with a gator lingering under our feet. Definitely pay extra money for the premium site. There is no cell phone service. There are washers and dryer. However there’s a warning sign about washing white clothes could be damaged due to the dark water used. We highly recommend an attached is our full review of the park. http://travelswithgg.com/lake-fausse-point-state-park/

  Palmetto Island State Park Campground

  Nice park , but not my favorite

  We arrived at this park on a Thursday . It was fine, although the restrooms were extremely far from our site. They were very clean . We also used their nice laundry facilities. On Friday , the crowds started to arrive. We learned many locals frequent this campground. By evening, the park was full . Groups being a bit rowdy and playing music very loud. We are not prudes but I really don’t want to be 8 sites away and hear blasting music. Over all the week days I think would be a little quieter . Sites we large. Ours had a bit of vegetation to separate us from neighboring sites.

  Very nice campground

  We really enjoyed this small campground. What a great vibe. Sites were a little close together and not much vegetation, but it was fine . Our campsite was on the bayou with its own little private dock. Enjoyed watching the birds and gators .

  So many employees

  So many employees yet the bathrooms were dirty and trash was on the ground. Many bbq stands were broken and tent pads under water. Otherwise, camp was good. Way off the beaten path, quiet, spacious, lots of water which means lots of mosquitoes. Camp host had pet off leash so rules are not followed. Great discounts for military.

  Quit clean camp ground

  My site was across the street from one of the 5 large ponds to fish in. 21 was a shaded spot and only 5 spots from playground, splash pad,pool and store.Great people to work with. Golf carts to rent with lots of room to ride around. Only improvement could be on bathroom and showers no a/c or doors ,only curtains but clean just bugs and heat down falls.

  Lakeview Park

  Family Fun

  We 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.

  Palmettos everywhere!

  Basic state park camping Bonus is onsite laundry 50/30/20 amp service (you have to flip all the breakers for 20 amp service - strange). A couple good hardened trails. Also a canoe/kayak ‘trail’. Four remote tent camp sites that are far enough from camp sites to enjoy. Sites are on lake lafluer.

  Lake Fausse Pointe State Park Campground

  Updated shower house, lots of wildlife and water with good sites

  We stayed one night here in a pop-up camper. It was cold, so we didn't have the mosquito problems that so many mention. It's true wetland country, surrounded by a canal, a lake, and a bayou. We'd like to come back with a kayak. Sites were nice and private, bath house was exceptional (especially compared with other LA state parks), and it was quiet. Only negative was that it's not on the beaten path, which might actually be a positive!

  Pretty nice

  Nice park and water around. Husband liked it for fishing and we liked the big park. I bet is even nicer in summer time with all the water around! -1 star since the bathroom has no door it was way to cold to use

  Nice RV park. Convenient for canoeing in Bayou Teche.

  Poches RV park is nice, well maintained, and has number of amenities. We had a wonderful weekend stay, and the weather was perfect. We canoed in the Shake Your Trail Feather festival on Bayou Teche. The RV park was close the the canoe trailhead. Take the time to explore the city of Breaux Bridge. 

  Go to Poches Market and buy some pork sausage stuffed with jalapeos. Also, be sure to make a reservation and go eat at Little Big Cup in Arnaudville about 15 minutes away. 

  Stayed in campsite#69. Back-in site with concrete parking, picnic table, and fire ring. 15A/30A/50A, water, and sewer hookups. It has a nice grass area with fire pit in the rear of the site next to the lake. Not much shade in the campsite. The site is located on the lake. Neighbors were pretty close. Roads in the park were asphalt or gravel. The free WiFi throughout the park was adequate for checking emails, surfing the web, etc. We camped in a Travel Trailer. Would stay here again. We camped at Poche's RV Park in a Travel Trailer.

  South Campground — Chicot State Park

  Great State Park

  Chicot State Park is wonderful and well maintained. We had a wonderful weekend stay, and the weather was perfect. Take the time to drive around to the East Landing in the evening before sunset. It has one of the prettiest views of Chicot Lake. Also drive down to the South Fishing Pier below the South Campground. It has a long pier that goes out into the lake. My son spent a lot of time at the splash pad. Be sure to visit the free La. State Arboretum onsite. It has a great visitor center with some fantastic exhibits and nice hiking trails. 

  Stayed in campsite#84. It has a nice deck with picnic table. BBQ grill and fire pit are on the other side of the RV spot. Even though it is in the front, it is actually quite secluded with woods all around. Nearest neighbor was at least 40-50 ft. Away. My son could easily walk or ride his bike to the splash pad. Both AT&T and Verizon had poor signal(1 bar each). Was able to connect to the free park Wi-Fi. It was slow, but I could send text messages and make the occasional phone call. Wasn't a big deal, because I came here to camp and get unplugged. We camped at Chicot State Park in a Travel Trailer.

  Lake Fausse Pointe State Park Campground

  Great for quick trip

   We are a family that does alot of camping. My 11 year old calls State Parks camping for beginners. That said, we really enjoy the variety of parks we have in Louisiana for quick trips. Sometimes the forest beckons us and we don't have the time or resources to do the primitive thing. Lauke Fausse itself appears to be a very small park. What land there is to explore is beautiful. But people this is Louisiana, you are smack dab in the middle of wetlands so be prepared for damp, humid and buggy. Our biggest mistake was not providing enough time to get canoes.or kayaks. The large majority of this state park is water, which you are encouraged to explore. A large number of sites even have small docks. If you, like us, have friends who like to say the want to come camping but then panic when they can't find wifi, haha, your best bet is over by pavilions near old bird island. Available are premium sites, a couple TENTR sites, and apparently a site only accessible by canoe.

  Bring strong bug spray

  Went to go to one of the paddle in sites or backpack sites however was warned the mosquitoes were horrible. Decided to get a day pass and rent a canoe and then hike the trails. Canoe trip was nice, however was unable to go far on walk due to the thick blanket of mosquitoes. I’m sure its nice once they arent so bad. Was able to take a bunch of pictures and have a good trip regardless, but disappointed I couldn’t stay. Also had absolutely no service sith verizon, except for one or two spots (one on the trail and one in the canoe after paddling for an hour.) may try again when it cools down.

  Lake Fausse Pointe State Park Campground

  Low Lying Area (think swampy), but RV Pads High and Dry

  Park is in pretty good shape, although it appears that the state park system is low on funding and resources, as some facilities are closed and maintenance is needed in certain areas.  The park is located within a large watershed/basin, so seasonal rains can have an impact on the area at large.  With that being said, being at the heart of this basin allows for many water borne recreational activities.  Boating, kayaking/canoeing, fishing, observation of diverse flora and fauna.  Besides having access to a boat launch on site, there are several boat launches with access to other water bodies within a few miles of the park.  

  Have been to the park a few times over the last 20 years.  Have stayed in the old cabins a few times and have also made day visits to the park.  My most recent visit was my first visit as an RVer.  I stayed at campsite 40, which has water access, with a dock.  This was convenient for launching kayaks.  I found the rv pad to be on the narrow side of things and the utilities (water/electric) were located in an odd location.  I forgot my electric power extension cord and had to pull up on the pad, in order to reach the electric service.  I had to run the water hose under the rv and across the outdoor walking/living area.  I'm not sure if these sites were poorly designed or if intended for drive in setup.  The sites on interior or opposite side of road seemed to be setup with utilities on the "correct" side.  Also, we could not extend the canopy, due to a tree being in the way.  Sorry, I do not have pictures of the site, but I see someone else has posted pics of site 40.

  Mosquitos were swarming post rain shower, which occurred each day of the trip.  So, cool weather camping may be preferable, or perhaps when water is not standing in the low lying areas (the whole park is essentially a low area).

  Favorite local campground

  This was the first campground we visited after purchasing our camper and it immediately became our favorite place to go. Extra clean, extra relaxing and excellent location of the rv campsites right on the water. Definitely a must visit especially if you’re local.
