All You Need is a 111 acre paradise that is home to some VERY unique and endangered habitat. Our northern boundary is a tract of DeSoto National Forest, where we have practically exclusive access to another 90 acres of longleaf pine savannah and more bottomland creeks.
The sandhills are home to prickly pear cactus, deer moss (7 kinds of lichen), and our mascot, the endangered Gopher Tortoise.
We're working to develop a nature education and retreat center where we share permaculture practices, homesteading/sustainable living skills, conservation practices, and approaches to connecting more deeply to the land.
You will have access to and be a 5 minute walk from our many walking paths and our swimming pond, as well as a 15 minute walk to Desoto National Forest, which butts up to our property line.
We would love to have you as our guest on the land, and are especially eager to meet travelers who deeply love nature and want to live in better relationship to it!

Absolutely beautiful park! Great paved bike trail that you can get to from the campground. Be careful booking a pull thru site if your unit is over 25', they're horseshoe shaped. We could not fit on a pull thru site, and Betty at the entrance was awesome and found us the perfect back-in site that made our stay amazing!
Scout
Nice location if it weren't for the truck noise, subwoofer bandits and susceptibility to flooding. The management is non-existent except for when it's time to be stupid.
They have some very obnoxious full-time RVs there who who prey on short-term visitors with obnoxious motorcycle behavior. Avoid the fire pit circle... Loud drunk and incredibly obnoxious people.

Nice campground. Close to a couple ferries to get across the Mississippi. A few campsites appear to be exempt from the 14 day stay as they are junkie and cluttered. Most site are water and electricity only. Dump station is set up with the sewer receptacle in the middle of the lane. Cellular signal is decent. Nice staff.
Guide
We enjoyed our mid October stay. Great playground and splash pad for the children. We walked the nature trail and enjoyed the river views from our campsite. This park packs them in during the summer months but was pretty quiet this time. The park is clean and very family friendly. Cell service: Verizon service with 2 bars and AT&T one bar sometimes none. We were able to stream the LSU Tigers beat Arkansas on our Verizon hot spot.
Scout
The owners allow nails and other hazards for your tires everywhere. Most of the people in there are addicts and honestly you will have people coming to your door in the middle of the night looking to score some illegal substances
Scout
We stayed at the park for 2 nights as part of a countrywide RV holiday from Europe. This park was head an shoulders cleaner nicer, tidier than our previous parks. The check-in team we're lovely and went through everything and also what we could do in the area. Lovely pool and restaurant with great prices.
The shower rooms were also immaculate.
We picked a deluxe waterside plot which was opposite one of the spare moored up river steam boats.
Scout
I went ahead and booked online the favorite spot, hog's wallow. The spot is really nicely arbored, but big spiders all over the place, and ants nests everywhere as well, as soon as I got my food out they were all over . Went to see the shower and it was smelly and dirty as heck. It was enough for me to leave after an hour of visit. I asked for a refund , but they were not willing to do so, hence my comment.
Scout
It was very nice
TravelerWith all the new renovations over the past 4 years this is a much improved campground. Great place to camp or stop if you want to visit New Orleans or surrounding areas.
Guide
I was coming down to New Orleans to look at some property and this park was convenient. On the way down, both of my front tires blew and I had to replace them out of pocket leaving me pretty strapped for cash.
I have never felt so welcomed anywhere. Melissa was so kind and helpful. When my AC went 3 days into my trip, she reminded me there was a lounge (that is rarely used) where I could work and that my dogs were welcome to chill in there with me.
She even made sure that I had enough water.
The restrooms are clean and private.
There is even a little dog run for the pups.
I will never stay anywhere else if I am in the city. (Well until the Orange Dragonfly Center is opened but we can talk about that later)
Pros:
Super convenient to the French Quarter or anywhere else in the city.
Melissa is amazing!
Dog Run
Lounge
Private shower
Cons:
The neighborhood isn't the greatest
I did get attacked by fire ants (which were taken care of as soon as it happened)
RangerArrive from Tiki Toms in Tiki Island, TX. We stayed for 2 nights on our way to Alabama. This resort sits approximately 5 miles from downtown New Orleans. It is a great onsite restaurant with a fabulous pool. The sites were spacious and well-maintained. A recommended stop to visit NOLA.

From reservation to checking to assistance onsite the staff have been so helpful and pleasant. We swam, did laundry, shopped in the small store, got food delivered and enjoyed full hookups.
It’s a 25min ride into the heart of New Orleans (French quarter) so not the closest but the neighborhood seems fine, it’s quieter and pretty chill out here. Nice to retreat to at the end of a long touristy day. Some great swamp tours near by (Ragin Cajun) and easy to check out Oak Valley and the Whitney plantations.
RangerLooking for a clean and pleasant place to park your camper new NOLA. This is it. Man we fell in love on the only night we stayed. The owners and staff are super pleasant and super helpful. The campground offers plenty of amenities for the size. We plan on returning!
LegendOur RV GPS and Waze took us from I-12 through town to the campground (CG). Check-in at the gate was quick and friendly. We then proceeded to the South CG to back-in site 138; 50 AMP and water. The road to the site was a bit narrow for our 40’ 5th wheel and F450. To our surprise, there was a drainage ditch across from our site that made backing in difficult. When we reserved online, we did not see the ditch on the campsite map, but it’s clearly marked on the CG map we received at check-in. We are above-average backers and had to maneuver quite a bit, but we finally got in. We do not recommend this site for any pull trailers over 35’. The good thing about 138 is that it’s one of the few spacious sites in the CG. The sites across the road are smaller and closer to each other. We also posted a picture of the CG map. Also, not available online was a 50% senior discount that was applied at check-in. We had no issue with the utilities. There are a lot of large trees in this loop but we were able to get a clear north shot for Starlink. We had three bars on Verizon. There are plenty of long sites, but big rigs need to choose their sites carefully i.e. read reviews and possibly call the park concerning specific sites. There’s lots to do and see in this state park, but it wasn't really our thing, so we likely won't be back.
TravelerPark was nice, bathrooms were clean. Site was a good size, plenty of shade. I didn’t have any neighbors so that was nice! Tons of wildlife to be seen. The raccoons are smart, and not scared of humans, lol
TravelerCame for the weekend as a last minute solo camp. Tons of wildlife! Clean park with hot showers! I would definitely lock all food in your car. Raccoons around here will unzip your tent and rob you 😂
Scout
Pitbull friendly they didn’t bay an eye. Great staff super clean place. Friendly people.
Traveler
It's a pretty big R. V. Lot. $50 per night on average. Quiet and peaceful. Not too many mosquitoes flying around, but if you plan on going to new orleans that uber will cost you about sixty bucks one way ;). There's a laundromat 2$ for wash and 2 for dry. And a dollar general right across the street in case you need some little things.
Scout
Loved the little walk into the spot. Explored the best spot to pitch our tent . Peace and quiet. Not far to the car for supplies. 30 yards and that’s it. Great location to the beach and gulf
Guide
I went camping for New Years. My campsite was right next to the bathrooms which was super convenient and surprisingly not noticeably busy. Thought I would have access to the water but didn’t. The hiking trail connects just across the road so easy access but kind of hard to find the trailhead. Enjoyed hiking the trail and had plenty of spots with water along the way for my dog. We hiked on the beach as well and it was quite peaceful we were basically the only ones.
Traveler
We had an amazing time at Creekside! I stayed here with three friends over the weekend and it was the perfect getaway. We booked the yurt, which came with a super comfy bed, a few extra snacks and even some art supplies to use. The campsite was very spacious with easy access to the creek.
Alicia was a lovely host and we had a great time at the biscuit class in the morning, which included free snuggles with her pups. We will be back!
ScoutAwesome area with sun set beautiful as the sun rise!!
Scout
Great location. Staffs are friendly and helpful. The RV sites are well mark. We will be back to stay
Guide
Campgrounds are beautiful with line forests surrounding the sites. Utilities are primitive but expected for a free campground. Watch where you step! Lots of horse poop.
Guide
We stayed here after picking up our new 5th wheel from Dad's Camper outlet. Not even a mile away. I hope this is allowed, Cat Trent and Ricky were great with getting our new 5th wheel ready for us. Check them out for any RV needs. The staff was very nice. The campground was very nice. It is only 4 months old. All the amenities you need and expect from a KOA. The only difference is that it's new and not run down. Pull through sites are level and concrete. As you can see from my pics, it was raining quite hard.
GuideWe stayed at spot 31. Near the restrooms but not much through traffic. Dumpster was right next to the bathrooms. Not a lot of street lights throughout the campground made things nice and quiet at night. Spots were gravel and needed a lot of leveling front to back. The site had a very nice deck with a picnic table. The site had full hookups for water, electricity, and sewage. The site had great Verizon and T-mobile cell service, around 50-80 mbps for each. The hiking trails were very nice with lots of shorts and long options. The bike trails were also nice with a lot of different difficulty options to try, you can also rent bikes if needed. Overall the campground was clean, very quiet, very spacious, and is a perfect weekend getaway with fun activities. We camped at Bogue Chitto State Park in a Travel Trailer.
TravelerWe stayed in the Uplands RV area and it was great. Spots were gravel and big so it was pretty easy to back into, with nice patios and not too close together. Some spots had motorhomes on a lift on the front to be level, but most were fine. The bathrooms near us were clean but the showers did have some mold (did not use). The trails are really nice! You can tell a lot of work goes into continual improvement and upkeep.
Bring or rent bikes and canoes! Would visit again , for sure.
