The waterfront setting of these glamping destinations creates opportunities for fishing directly from private piers, swimming at designated beach areas, and kayaking on the peaceful waters. Hiking trails wind through the wooded areas surrounding both parks, with Lake Claiborne featuring marked paths and two disc golf courses popular among glampers. The Cypress Black Bayou property includes a small zoo and museum that adds unique entertainment value for families staying in safari-style accommodations.
