Lake Chicot State Park Campground in Arkansas provides additional cabin options with electricity, running water, and basic furnishings. Most cabins include air conditioning for the hot Louisiana summers, though heating systems vary by location.

Nearby towns provide access to groceries and supplies, though selection may be limited in this rural region.

    Chemin-A-Haut State Park

    Amazing state park, sadly underfunded. Still worth a trip.

    Pretty state park, swimming pool during summer, gorgeous trails on an enchanting bayou, wooded back in slots with a camp host, not much to do in Bastrop but this park is a great attraction. No sewage but there is a dump station. There is also tent camping, cabins, and equestrian camping and trails but there have been budget cuts that prevent horse trail maintenance and road repairs, so you don’t know what you’ll get sometimes. The park has playgrounds and pavilions.

    Lake Chicot State Park Campground

    nice park

    After booking through Arkansas State Parks website, we received a follow up call from the park itself which was unusual but very nice. We booked site 42 in area B but there was standing water in the site so we got site 50. We chose this site because it was on higher ground and relatively close to the bath house in area D. The bath house in our area is no longer opened. Bath house D is very nice. We had no problems switching sites probably due to the off season.

    Camping areas C and E are closed. Area F has full hook-ups and 30 amps. The sites are nice but a little short. Cabins are VERY nice. Area A contains the prime sites with full hook-ups and 30 and 50 amps. There is a bait store and a marina which rents boats (closed due to off-season). There is a fishing pier, basketball court, pool, 3 pavilions, playground, and a horseshoe pit. The visitor's center is very nice and informative.

    Wildlife seems to be abundant as we saw dozens of deer, large raccoons, squirrels, pelicans, and ducks.

    Cell phone (Verizon) and antenna reception are good possibly because there are no leaves on the trees.

    Ok for last minute

    It was a last minute booking, for a holiday weekend, after a major hurricane. Campground was nice, nice & clean bathhouses, nice pool[closed due to pandemic]. Cabins looked nice, too. Just have to be careful what sight you book, because I almost never got my camper level in sight #21. All in all, I would make a return trip

    15 mins from Black Bayou National Wildlife Refuge if you want somewhere to hike and walk around. Some delicious restaurants around for some Louisiana cuisine. We enjoyed our stay.

    Leroy Percy State Park Campground

    Small state park makes a great stopover

    Leroy Percy State Park is a small, but pretty state park with 16 full hookup campsites, 4 cabins and a nice disc golf course. Most of the campsites are shaded, at least for part of the day. Other than one other camper who appeared to have been there awhile, we were the only occupied campsite. Mosquitoes caused us to eat dinner inside our trailer, although it was otherwise nice enough to eat outside. The bathrooms were old, but mostly clean. The only exception being the handicapped men's shower which was a mess.

    Relaxing

    Stayed in a cabin which had everything we needed. Very relaxing. Beautiful setting. Got awesome sunrise photos. Woodpeckers very active in the morning. Cabins are close to the bayou. Would be very cautious with children.

    Chemin-A-Haut State Park

    Small, good kayaking

    The park is on the smaller side with plenty of cabins and good places to kayak, canoe, and fish. The bayou is very nice. The pool is a little run down looking as of late summer 2019. We went trial hiking but this was a little difficult as the walking trails aren’t really maintained (the horse trails are maintained and clearly marked).

    Chemin-A-Haut State Park

    Wonderful state park

    Bathrooms are hands down the best I’ve ever seen. Campsites aren’t on top of each other but are pretty close. My tent wouldn’t fit on the tent pad but was able to find a level spot to set up anyways. The lake was pretty busy with people fishing or paddling. Two room cabins looked pretty great and are on the water. Had two playgrounds and kids trail. Went to go to kayak out to Castle Tree and found out the water was too high to really see the base of it and it’s a two hr paddle upstream on the way there. So plan on calling ahead if you’re going to do that since the water can also be too low.


Guide to Pioneer

Cabin accommodations near Pioneer, Louisiana range from rustic to modern with several state parks and private reserves available within driving distance. The region features dense forests, bayous with ancient cypress trees, and lowland areas typical of the Louisiana-Mississippi-Arkansas tri-state area. Winter temperatures typically range from 35-60°F while summer can reach 90-100°F with high humidity, making climate considerations important for cabin selection.

What to do

Kayaking among ancient cypresses: At Chemin-A-Haut State Park, visitors can paddle to see impressive 1000-year-old cypress trees. "Rent a kayak or canoe to paddle to them," suggests one camper who found the park to be "a hidden gem north of Bastrop, Louisiana."

Disc golf courses: Leroy Percy State Park offers an 18-hole disc golf course for cabin guests. "Nice, quiet isolated state park in the delta of Mississippi. We brought our kayaks and got some fishing done in alligator lake but only after playing an 18 hole disc golf course!" reports one visitor.

Wildlife observation: Parks in the region host diverse wildlife perfect for photography. "Wildlife seems to be abundant as we saw dozens of deer, large raccoons, squirrels, pelicans, and ducks," notes a visitor to Lake Chicot State Park. Morning hours provide the best viewing opportunities, particularly near water edges.

What campers like

Clean, modern facilities: Recent upgrades at several parks have improved the cabin experience. "Very nice renovated facilities! Every time there have been very few campers so it's almost like having the entire campgrounds to yourself," reports a visitor to Chemin-A-Haut State Park.

Waterfront cabin locations: Lake Chicot State Park offers prime lakeside cabin sites. "Waterfront sites are wonderful, however the other sites are much less attractive. Clean facilities," notes one camper who appreciated watching sunsets over the water.

Seasonal quiet: Fall and winter months provide more solitude for cabin guests. "Very nice out of the way quiet State Park. Lots of space and not very full in late September," writes a visitor about Lake Chicot State Park, noting the peaceful atmosphere during off-peak times.

What you should know

Wildlife encounters: Expect visits from local animals around cabin areas. "Raccoons are very curious and obviously human fed because they will walk right up to you," warns a camper at Chemin-A-Haut State Park. Store food properly and avoid feeding wildlife.

Water level variations: River and lake conditions fluctuate seasonally, affecting recreational options. "Nice facilities. Water has been high for a few months so its ugly and not so useable. There's supposed to be a route by canoe to old growth trees but water is too high," explains one visitor regarding access limitations.

Variable cellular coverage: Pecan Grove RV Park offers cabins with better connectivity than more remote options. "Location is absolutely perfect for those traveling and need a nice overnight or decide to stay a few extra like I did," notes a camper who appreciated the convenience and connectivity.

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: Multiple playgrounds accommodate different age groups at certain parks. "The park has playgrounds and pavilions," mentions a visitor to Chemin-A-Haut State Park, though noting budget cuts have affected some maintenance.

Safety precautions: Some cabin locations require extra vigilance with children. One visitor to Leroy Percy State Park warns, "Cabins are close to the bayou. Would be very cautious with children," highlighting the need for supervision near water features.

Educational opportunities: Turkey Creek Ranch Reserve offers more rustic cabin options with opportunities to learn about local ecosystems. Their cabins provide drinking water, shower facilities, and toilets while creating a more immersive nature experience without electrical connections.

Tips from RVers

Seasonal timing: Fall and winter visits offer fewer insects and more comfortable temperatures. "Noseeums and other mosquitoes a little bad but could be worse," notes a Lake Chicot visitor in September, suggesting spring and summer bring more challenging insect conditions.

Cabin alternatives: Full hookup RV sites provide alternatives when cabins are booked. "Nice RV spots with full hookups. Cellular service isn't great but they do have Wi-Fi," reports a visitor to Chemin-A-Haut State Park, noting the clean bathhouse facilities with coin-operated laundry.

Site selection strategy: Request higher elevation sites during rainy seasons. "After booking through Arkansas State Parks website, we received a follow up call from the park itself which was unusual but very nice. We booked site 42 in area B but there was standing water in the site so we got site 50. We chose this site because it was on higher ground," explains a Lake Chicot visitor who appreciated the park's accommodation.
