Best Tent Camping near Lafayette, LA

Tent camping around Lafayette includes several quality sites within a short drive of the city. Chicot State Park and Lake Fausse Point State Park stand out as two solid options for tent campers. Chicot has well-spaced tent sites with good tree coverage that gives you decent privacy from neighboring campers. Most tent areas sit within comfortable walking distance to the restrooms and water spigots - usually no more than a 5-minute walk. At Lake Fausse Point, the ground is mostly flat and smooth, making it easy to find a good spot for your tent without dealing with roots or rocks. Their tent sites require a short walk from where you'll park, which keeps the camping area quiet but isn't so far that unloading gear becomes difficult. Both parks have good shade coverage, which matters a lot during Louisiana's hot months. You can book sites at either park through their reservation system ahead of time. Chicot adds some nice touches with lantern hooks and sturdy picnic tables at each site. The closest grocery stores are about 15-20 minutes from either park, so it's best to stock up in Lafayette before heading out.
