Best Campgrounds near Lettsworth, LA

205 Reviews

Campgrounds around Lettsworth, Louisiana provide a mix of RV and primitive options within the diverse Louisiana landscape. Tunica Hills Campground stands out as a rated 4.75/5 facility offering tent sites, RV spots, cabins, and glamping accommodations. While many sites require a walk-in approach, the campground maintains electricity, drinking water, and shower facilities. Nearby Richard K. Yancy Sand Levee Campground offers free primitive camping with drive-in access for tents and RVs, though without amenities like electric hookups or water facilities.

The subtropical Louisiana climate creates humid conditions that can affect camping experiences, particularly during summer months when temperatures rise. Some areas may experience seasonal flooding during heavy rain periods. "Primitive. I would advise anyone wanting to stay inside of a wildlife management area to read up on requirements first," noted one camper about Richard K. Yancy. Mosquitoes can be prevalent in certain areas, especially near water. Cell service varies throughout the region, with better coverage near Morganza and Marksville where larger RV resorts like Paragon Casino Resort provide full hookups. Wildlife management areas typically have fewer amenities but offer greater immersion in natural settings.

Several visitors mentioned the unique terrain at Tunica Hills as a standout feature for camping in the region. "Couldn't believe I was actually in Louisiana," remarked one camper about the unusual topography. The area provides access to hiking trails at Clark's Creek for day trips, with most primitive sites separated by natural ravines. Campers report encountering wildlife including raccoons, possums and armadillos at some locations. Many developed campgrounds provide amenities like picnic tables, fire rings, and portable toilets, while Wildlife Management Areas tend to be more rustic with limited facilities. The Paragon Casino Resort offers full RV hookups with paved sites, plus amenities like a swimming pool, shuttle service to the casino, and even an arcade for families seeking more developed camping options within reasonable driving distance.

    Indian Creek Recreation Area

    A close to home family friendly campground

    I would like to start by saying this is a campground that is designed for young families, from the multiple sandy beach areas to the playgrounds, there was lot for my elementary age children to do. The bathhouses were cleaned every morning and I didn't see much trash lying around, other than our fire pit, but I assumed the previous tenants must have dumped some of their trash in the pit when leaving. Some of the issues I had are, because this campground is geared toward young families, there were a lot of kids running around unsupervised. There was a group of boys tearing the roof off the play house in one of the play grounds, another group jumping off the fishing pier while people were fishing, little kids driving golf carts around without adults on them (one time almost hitting a lady on a scooter), there were several dogs running around not on leashes, and even adult driving vehicles through the grassy play area rather than the roadway. The rules seem to no be enforced, including the no noise times of 10pm-7am. There were golf carts riding around with loud music until 1:30 am both nights. I never saw a single park attendant, other than the gate operator. We will likely try camping here again, but perhaps during the week while schools are in session to avoid the crowds.

    Farr Park RV Camground

    Safe and Clean

    Needed a placed to stay in Baton Rouge for a weekend and didn’t want to pay $300 for a hotel so I decided to car camp.

    Plenty of spaces open in April, was a perk to be able to see the animals too.

    Quiet area, well kept. I only paid $10 per night since I didnt use any hookups.

    Would definitely stay again.

    Indian Creek Recreation Area Best Camping Spot

    Indian Creek Recreation Area

    Great campground. Trails, lake, boating, fishing, biking, great shade. Can get crowded on weekends and lots of golf cart traffic. Stores nearby and Alexandria not far. One of our favorites.

    South Campground — Chicot State Park

    South landing

    Camped here frequently as a child. Now enjoying it as an adult. Large state park and always have a site available, even with short notice. Lots of things to do. Great park.

    Camp Margaritaville RV Resort Breaux Bridge

    Absolutely perfect

    Okay, if you’re not into a bunch of fellow campers with children, I get that but how can you hate 3 pools with swim up bars, a giant hot tub and a well manicured park? Park really opens April 1 but we needed a taste of summer and we found it here

    River View RV Park & Resort

    Great Spot on the Mississippi

    Lovely campground, large lots, friendly & helpful staff & campers, clean restrooms & showers. There are some nice, private spaces, but staff weren’t placing anyone in them due to storm & tornado warnings! Kept everyone close to the office & restrooms (aka storm shelter). Great walking path by the river. A little less rustic than I like, but right across from Natchez, MS which was my touristy destination

    River View RV Park & Resort

    Magnificent campground right on the Mississippi River

    We spent a few days at River View RV Park in January, visiting Natchez and enjoying the view of the Mississippi River. The sites were pretty spacious and many have an unobstructed view of the river. There is even a nice paved trail on top of the levee.

    The staff was super helpful with advice for what to see and where to eat. We will definitely return when the weather is warmer.
