    Gavel Falls Cabin Rentals and RV Campground

    New and clean

    Kind of an odd location— behind an auction yard. Nice concrete slabs for RVs. Fair gravel roads, 3 very nice log cabins, at least 2 covered RV spaces. BBQ grills and fire pits are brand new. Private pond on site. Because it is relatively new they have a few bugs to work out but I would stay there again.

    Lake Bistineau State Park Campground

    Beautiful state park

    Lake Bistineau is a great state park park near Shreveport, LA. We stayed 2 nights. The sites are very shady. The park streets and sites are asphalt. Some roads need repaving. The park was clean and quiet, and the staff was friendly. Unfortunately, the lake was drawn down to eradicate an invasive water plant. But, this presented a unique opportunity. We could walk on the dry lake bottom and see the parts of cypress trees that are normally under water. 

    Stayed in back-in campsite#14 which was level side to side, but the front was higher. The site has a nice view of the lake and a large wooden deck. There was just enough parking for my 34 ft TT and truck. Neighbors are nearby, but not too close. The site included: picnic table on concrete, BBQ pit, trash pole, and fire ring. Utilities: 20/30/50A electric in back. Water in back, good pressure. No sewer, but a dump station is available. 

    AT&T had 2 bars of LTE and Verizon 2 bars of LTE service. AT&T Speedtest: 5.1 Mbps down, 0.7 Mbps up. Verizon Speedtest: 7.4 Mbps down, 0.1 Mbps up. No WiFi. 

    Would stay here again. We camped at Lake Bistineau State Park in a Travel Trailer.

    Gavel Falls Cabin Rentals and RV Campground

    Under New Ownership as a KOA

    This new KOA is ok for an overnight stop while passing through. They recently completed construction on new concrete pads at the front of the property with a swing, picnic tables and fire pit at each site. Absolutely zero shade which was terrible during this heat wave with 105 degree days. 

    As a recently acquired KOA the pool was actually attached to the owners old home (he moved down the property to a new home) and the house is now rentable for larger groups. There are a handful of cabins in the back past the store. The campsite has a bizarre single track road in and out that requires one party to pull off into grass to allow another to pass. 

    If you're looking for all the standard KOA amenities, including jumping pillow or other trademarked amenity, this will do for a night or two.

    Cypress Black Bayou Recreation Area

    Great Park

    This is a parish ran park that is very well maintained. Security measures are excellent. The park is shaded and all sites are either lake side or almost. There are back-in and pull-through sites. Not all of the park is FHU but they have three pull through dumps. There is a new bathhouse that is very clean and requires a code to be entered on a keypad for entry. There is a small wildlife sanctuary (zoo but no petting) and free roaming peacocks. Good fishing from the docks or by boat. The park is close to shopping, casinos, and restaurants. Love this park.

    Lake Bistineau State Park Campground

    Classic southern cypress setting

    A taste of the swamps in north Louisiana. Spanish moss clad Bald Cypress trees in a stereotypical Louisiana lake. Two great boat ramps, cabins and picnic tables. Keep your small dogs on a leash or you may feed the gators. Mosquitoes big enough to land at Barksdale AFB.

    Cypress Bend Park-Toledo Bend Lake Sabine River Auth

    BEAUTIFUL SUNSETS

    We stayed at site #3, which was pretty much full sun. But, it was on the water with access to the water. Full hookups, concrete pads. Very clean, but dated restrooms. Laundry room was available. Boat launch, fishing, beautiful playground, gorgeous flower beds. No grocery on grounds. The grounds people were busy putting out Christmas decorations! Seems that they have a huge beautiful display every year.

    Lake Bistineau State Park Campground

    Nice enough

    We stayed here for a one night stopover. I’m not sure I’d go out of my way to stay there again but I was happy enough with my stop. It’s an older park. The lake is pretty swampy. No sewer at the sites, but water and electric. Cell service with AT&T was pretty weak but manageable to get some work done. Bathhouse was a typical older state park set up. Definitely needs some TLC. It would take a little work to get level in most of the sites from what I can see. They do have a wooden platform (almost like a deck) at most sites that is pretty cool. Our table was old and kinda warped. There is a fire pit. Table and fire are down a level but sites where we stayed were large and spacious. The park was almost empty during our stay but when we booked there were very few open sites available less than a week earlier. That seemed odd once we saw there was literally no one staying there. Sunset was beautiful.

    Cypress Bend State Rec Area

    Peaceful Lakeside Getaway with Great Amenities 🌲🎣

    We had a fantastic stay at Cypress Bend State Recreation Area! The park is beautifully maintained and set on the edge of Toledo Bend Lake, offering some truly scenic views, especially at sunset. We stayed at one of the RV sites—super convenient with full hookups(water, sewer, and electric), and the grounds were quiet and peaceful. The waterfront cabins also looked very cozy and well-equipped—definitely planning to try one next time. Highlights for us were the renovated beach area, clean restrooms, and the lighted fishing pier, which made evening fishing a treat. There's also a playground and volleyball court, which is great if you're bringing kids. The$2 entrance fee is more than reasonable, and the staff was friendly and helpful, especially with late arrival check-in info. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing nature escape, whether you're camping, fishing, or just looking to unwind by the lake! https://scriptbaldeball.com/


Guide to Mansfield

Cabin camping near Mansfield, Louisiana provides access to the Toledo Bend Reservoir, a 185,000-acre man-made lake straddling the Texas-Louisiana border. The region features pine forests and waterfront settings with elevations ranging from 160-200 feet above sea level. Summer temperatures typically reach 90-95°F with high humidity, while winter nights can drop to the mid-30s.

What to do

Fishing from dedicated piers: Lake Bistineau State Park Campground offers excellent fishing opportunities from accessible piers. "The views of the 'swamp' are great. It's dry, and apparently has been for some years, so there's a lush grass growing down to the water's edge. Lots of wildlife to watch," notes a camper.

Wildlife observation: Cypress Black Bayou Recreation Area features a small wildlife sanctuary with exotic birds. "There is a small wildlife sanctuary (zoo but no petting) and free roaming peacocks. Good fishing from the docks or by boat," explains one visitor.

Hiking trail exploration: Multiple trails ranging from short to moderate difficulty are available at many parks. "I took an evening walk on the Discovery Trail and saw two deer. There are several other, longer trails," reports a Lake Bistineau visitor.

What campers like

Clean, heated facilities: Winter campers benefit from comfortable bathhouses. "The bathhouse was immaculately clean. I went in expecting a typical park shower room with spiders or bugs. There were NONE. The bathhouse was heated and a welcome chance to shower in something other than a matchbox."

Scenic waterfront views: North Toledo Bend State Park Campground offers premium lakeside vistas. "Loved our stay here. We have camped several Texas parks and this one is nicer than any we've found so far. Nice clean upgraded bath houses. Great Lake views. Spotted an eagle out our window," shares one visitor.

What you should know

Seasonal water levels: Lake levels can fluctuate significantly throughout the year. A visitor to Lake Bistineau noted, "Didn't realize they lowered the lake. My fault for not investigating more."

Limited sewer hookups: Many parks offer only partial hookups. "Only wish they had some full hookup sites available. I hear that's coming soon," mentions a Lake Bistineau visitor. Another camper at North Toledo Bend adds, "Excellent views fishing and camping spots! No sewer!"

Wildlife precautions: San Miguel Park - SRA and other parks require careful food storage. "Raccoons are pro's at this park, so you may want to safely store your food and trash if staying in the campground area.
