Louisiana is known as Cajun country, where the land there was formed from sediment washed down by the Mississippi River, forming huge deltas and massive areas of coastal marsh and bayous with alligators and tree frogs and trees lined with spanish moss. Ibis and egrets fly through longleaf pine forests and wet savannas are filled with orchids, pitcher plants and sundews. Camping in Louisiana is an experience like no other. Whether it’s by RV, tent or just under the starlit sky, camping in Louisiana is an adventure unlike anywhere else in the United States. 


But it’s not all wetlands and marshes. Enjoy the best of coastal camping in Louisiana’s beachside community of Grand Isle. Located where Highway 1 meets the Gulf of Mexico, it’s the closest Louisiana beach from Baton Rouge and New Orleans, making these destinations a convenient day trip while you’re camping. 


Grand Isle is, in fact, an island and a town, with small, locally-owned shops and a state park just made for camping. With 63 sites available, Grand Isle State Park is a great place to camp on the beach and cook the seafood you just caught during July’s Grand Isle Tarpon Rodeo, an event that brings together the best saltwater fishermen in the world. Or, if you like bird watching, the Grand Isle Migratory Bird Festival offers plenty of opportunities to see a myriad of bird species return home from South America. Of course, there’s plenty of swimming, hiking, crabbing and boating in Grand Isle as well. 


Another great place for camping in Louisiana is Tunica Hills, which belongs to the Bluff Hills portion of the Mississippi Valley Loess Plains and extends from the Natchez, Mississippi area to St. Francisville, Louisiana. Managed by the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, the Tunica Hills Wildlife Area is northwest of St. Francisville and covers more than 5,900 acres of rolling hills and scenic beauty.


Remember when I talked about the wetland and marshes? Tunica Hills isn’t anything like that; in fact, it’s unlike any other area in Louisiana. In Tunica Hills, you’ll find springs and waterfalls, rugged terrain, cliffs 90 feet high, deep gorges and lush, diverse plant life and animals you won’t find anywhere else in the state.  


And while Tunica Hills is known for hunting, a variety of other activities offer campers plenty to do such as horseback riding, hiking, ATV riding and sightseeing. And if you’re a birding enthusiast, then you’ve hit the jackpot because rare birds such as the Coopers hawk and worm-eating warbler live within the thick forests there. It’s no wonder John James Audubon was inspired to paint his famous bird series there in the early 1800s. 


Louisiana is full of other places to go camping. Don’t worry, we’ve got more recommendations. And while you’re camping in Louisiana, you might as well cook like you’re in Louisiana.

With 200 FT of private lakefront, Flamingo Pointe at Lake Wallace is soon to be, the premier private RV site in South Ark and the ARKLAMISS. Flamingo Pointe currently offers the Flamingo's Nest, a 38FT Gooseneck RV, for rent and **5** **RV Pads** with water, 50 AMP, and sewer hookups and incredible views.

Lake Wallace is a 360-acre Oxbow Lake, of Bayou Bartholomew, sitting in the middle of the Mississippi Delta. Bayou Bartholomew is the longest and crookedest bayou in the world meandering some 350 miles throughout SE Arkansas and Louisiana. Lake Wallace contains more than 100 different species of fish, plus frogs, turtles, snakes, and plenty of alligators. Before railroad lines were constructed in the late 1800s, Bayou Bartholomew was an important waterway for transportation.

To enhance your intimate RVing experience at Flamingo Pointe, it is our goal to never have more than 3 RV Pads occupied at the same time. This will allow you and yours to truly take in the sounds and beauty of Lake Wallace and the Delta. We can/will accommodate more RV’s if you have a group gathering.

Flamingo Pointe at Lake Wallace is in the heart of some of the richest and fertile farmland in the world. Depending on the time of year you visit, you will witness how the local big-time farming operation operates. Besides some dust here and there, it is cool to see these large Agri machine’s function.

The fishing at Lake Wallace is great to poor. Like most small lakes, there are a lot of factors of how and when the fish bite. Historically for over 80 years, Lake Wallace has been known as a great Crappie lake. My father who will be 86 this DEC 2022, caught his first fish here when he was 5 years old. Like so many families back in the day, people from surrounding counties came to Lake Wallace to fish. The State of AR has a great concrete boat ramp and fishing pier located less than one mile from Flamingo Pointe. Local Bass Clubs from AR and LA continue to frequent Lake Wallace as well as many locals. For those travelers that have a boat, you can launch at the state ramp, then tie up at Flamingo Pointe.

While every day or night may not be perfect at Flamingo Pointe, we do believe that every moment will be unique and sometimes, just freaking incredibly perfect. You may experience this “perfectness” as you watch in awe as an orange full moon rises over the lake and to your rear the orange sun is setting on the Delta. You may experience this “perfectness” as you watch a thunderstorm brewing in the distance over the Delta. You will experience this “perfectness” as you gaze in wonder of the Delta night sky and the millions of stars; have you ever really seen the Milky Way?

So far, we do not have a whole bunch of rules or observations at Flamingo Pointe, but we do have the following:

1\. No swimming.

2\. Do not throw anything in the lake!

3\. Be respectful of your neighbors.

4\. No Littering.

5\. You will hear a freight train rolling through the Delta a few miles off. It is OK to sing Johhny Cash’s “Folsom

Prison Blues” when it rolls through.

6\. Cell service is good; we have no Wi-Fi.

7\. Nearest Walmart is in McGhee, 12 miles north.

8\. Dermott is 4 miles and has a $ General Store and 3 burger joints and one liquor store.

9\. Download a star APP like “SkyView” for star and planet watching.

Jamie and I hope you enjoy your stay and hope that you might have found or find a little bit of “perfectness” at Flamingo Pointe.

The 2,700-acre, man-made lake that is the centerpiece for Poverty Point Reservoir State Park offers visitors an outlet for a variety of water sports and a scenic backdrop for waterfowl migration each spring and fall.

The fish and wildlife species inhabiting or migrating through the reservoir are numerous. Anglers can fish the lake year-round for largemouth bass, black crappie, bluegill and channel catfish. The region falls within the Mississippi Flyway for many winged species. Depending on the season, visitors will see cormorants, ducks, geese and pelicans.

Overnight guests can choose from two-bedroom waterfront cabins, spacious lodges with loft bedrooms, or RV camping. A water playground in the campground area provides a place for our younger visitors to beat the heat.

A nature trail winds along an off-shoot of Bayou Macon. Special attention should be given to any Louisiana black bear sightings on or near the reservoir. The eastern edge of the park, along Bayou Macon, contains attractive bear habitat and visitors are cautioned to keep all exterior cabin areas and day-use areas cleared of accessible food products and refuse. Bear-proof containers are provided for waste disposal throughout the park.
