    "This is a hidden gem north of Bastrop, Louisiana. Have camped here on multiple occasions. Every time there have been very few campers so it's almost like having the entire campgrounds to yourself."

    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.

    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.

    Chemin-A-Haut State Park

    Very nice renovated facilities!

    This is a hidden gem north of Bastrop, Louisiana. Have camped here on multiple occasions. Every time there have been very few campers so it's almost like having the entire campgrounds to yourself. Raccoons are very curious and obviously human fed because they will walk right up to you. Best feature in the park is the Chemin-A-Haut Creek were 1000 year old Cypress trees are scattered throughout. Rent a kayak or canoe to paddle to them.

    Nice place

    Nice RV spots with full hookups. Cellular service isn’t great but they do have Wi-Fi. The RV camping area has a nice, new, and clean restroom and shower facility with coin-operated laundry.

    Chemin-A-Haut State Park

    Shady and Peaceful area

    Quiet shady campsite. Not very full at all so it was peaceful. Showers and bathrooms were clean. Decent WIFI. Booster is close to site 14 and 15. If you like to be level in every direction, there are only about half of the sites that are easy to get that way. 4,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,14. All the rest slope a great deal. The ones on the inner loop slope from back to front. The ones on the outer loop slope front to back pretty dramatically. Inner loop sites are short. There were many campers unlevel it looked to me and jacks all the way out.  I had the right side on 3 blocks to get it up to level. 

     If it rains its muddy in the site. They look to be clearing some trees as the area close to #12 where we camped had some leaning dead trees that were a bit concerning. Especially considering we had severe storms one night. Tree hit the bathroom building and also fell across the access road.

    2nd picture hope you can tell how downhill the outside sites are after 14.

    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

    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.

Guide to Pioneer

Chemin-A-Haut State Park and Leroy Percy State Park provide cabin and yurt camping options near Pioneer, Louisiana. Located in the Mississippi Delta region with its characteristic flat terrain and bayous, these parks offer alternatives to traditional tent camping. The area experiences humid subtropical climate with hot summers and mild winters, making climate-controlled accommodation options particularly valuable during extreme weather periods.

What to do

Disc golf course: Leroy Percy State Park features an 18-hole disc golf course that campers can enjoy before other activities. "We brought our kayaks and got some fishing done in alligator lake but inly after playing an 18 hole disc golf course!" mentions a visitor to Leroy Percy State Park Campground.

Hiking trails: Despite seasonal maintenance challenges, both parks offer walking paths through wooded areas. "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)," notes a camper at Chemin-A-Haut State Park.

Fishing opportunities: Multiple water bodies in these parks support fishing activities year-round. "The park is on the smaller side with plenty of cabins and good places to kayak, canoe, and fish. The bayou is very nice," reports a Chemin-A-Haut visitor.

What campers like

Clean facilities: Recently upgraded amenities receive consistent positive feedback. "Bathrooms are hands down the best I've ever seen. Campsites aren't on top of each other but are pretty close," shares a visitor to Chemin-A-Haut State Park.

Wildlife viewing: The natural bayou settings support diverse wildlife observation opportunities. "Woodpeckers very active in the morning. Cabins are close to the bayou," notes a guest at Leroy Percy State Park Campground.

Peaceful atmosphere: The relative seclusion and low visitor numbers create a quiet camping experience. "Every time there have been very few campers so it's almost like having the entire campgrounds to yourself," mentions a Chemin-A-Haut camper.

What you should know

Water level fluctuations: Creek and bayou conditions can impact activities and access to certain features. "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," reports a visitor to Chemin-A-Haut State Park.

Seasonal considerations: Pool availability varies by season and can be affected by other factors. "Campground was nice, nice & clean bathhouses, nice pool [closed due to pandemic]," notes a camper at Chemin-A-Haut State Park.

Budget constraints: State funding impacts maintenance and available services. "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... but there have been budget cuts that prevent horse trail maintenance and road repairs."

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: Multiple play areas cater to younger visitors. "Had two playgrounds and kids trail," mentions a Chemin-A-Haut State Park visitor who appreciated the family-friendly amenities.

Safety precautions: Water proximity requires careful supervision of children. "Cabins are close to the bayou. Would be very cautious with children," warns a visitor to Leroy Percy State Park Campground.

Wildlife encounters: Local fauna can be overly familiar with humans. "Raccoons are very curious and obviously human fed because they will walk right up to you," notes a Chemin-A-Haut camper, suggesting food storage precautions are advisable.

Tips from RVers

Campsite selection: Level sites can be limited in certain areas. "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," advises an RVer at Chemin-A-Haut State Park.

Full hookup availability: Sewer connections vary between parks and require planning. "Stayed here for one night but plan on coming back. Very clean restrooms and park was litter free. Very quiet as there was only one other camper there. Sites are big, level and cement. We stayed in a 29' TT," shares a visitor to Leroy Percy State Park Campground.

Connectivity considerations: Cell service limitations may affect remote work capabilities. "Nice RV spots with full hookups. Cellular service isn't great but they do have Wi-Fi," notes a Chemin-A-Haut State Park camper.
