  Warfield Point Park

  Nice quiet place to stay

  This park is a hidden gem right on the Mississippi River. Tons of rv spots and tent camping areas. There wasn't a lot of campers here so we were able to pick a spot away from others. Be aware their site says 52 full service sites, that's a lie! They only have 5 sites that are FULL hookups. All other sites have electricity and city water ONLY! Also, payment is CASH ONLY.

  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.

  Bayou Boeuf RV Park

  Nice owners!!!

  Super nice owners! Dwayne was very accommodating...good price for full hookup.Quiet and convenient campground.

  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.

  Level spot. Cell phone service and bathroom with shower available.

  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.

  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.

  Vicksburg Battlefield Campground

  Good location

  This was a great location if wanting to camp near the Vicksburg National military park. We walked to the park. Very few tent spots and most were in disrepair. The bathrooms were ok, they tried to keep them clean. The staff was friendly. Lots of highway noise, lots of noise from the permanent residents and their dogs. No wifi, no water.

  Warfield Point Park Washington County Park

  Dejected and rejected

  Sites: 52 RV and tent 

  Limit: 14 days 

  Fees:  $15.00-$150.00 

  Reservations: For sites 1-19$25.00 guarantees one night non refundable all other sites FCFS 

  Warfield Point Park would be an extremely nice campground and recreation area if it was maintained. The campground is located on 80 acres of mature growth trees of pecan and cottonwoods and sits between the levy and the Mississippi River. You will have to cross over the levy to reach the camp. There is a gate house that was not manned when we arrived. The pecan trees in the park provided the camper some nice pecans. What a feast. Disc golf, some pull through, fire ring, picnic table, toilets, showers. There was a sense of abuse and disuse in the park and we did not stay. Several of the sites had drink cans in and around the fire ring. We did not check out the bathrooms since the air of the park did not feel right. The site needed to be mowed but the river looked great.

  Civic park convenient location to the ballpark across the road

  Small town but big on friendliness and very welcoming. Convenient location to the ballpark. Not much to say about the campground. It’s nice, quiet and convenient to the ballpark, city park and the hospital.

  Chemin-A-Haut State Park

  Eh, probably better in summer

  Only 1 loop open now (October). Not very attractive sites. Trees are nice but pads are narrow and a bit chewed up. Full hook-up though.

  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

  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.

  Nice Park

  Our Site #6 was large and it was a good value for full hookups, but the town of Bastrop was nothing to write home about. Winter is probably not the best time to visit — rather spooky with no leaves on the trees and most sites vacant.

  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).

  Nice park

  Overnight camping with small trailer. 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

  Blue Lake

  Really nice, small campground

  Small picnic area & campground along a small, pretty lake. Three campsites - 79A, 79B & 79C. Campsite fee is $7. Camped in April at 79A in a camper van, which is close to the lake. There is no pay station, and the forest office in Rolling Fork is closed; so, you have to make a reservation online at recreation.gov to pay. Online reservation fee is $8. This recreation area has a typical national forest vault toilet (not chem toilet). There is no drinking water. There are trash receptacles next to the vault toilet. There is also a gravel boat ramp. The nature trail was flooded when we visited. Insects were not too bad; we used a Thermocell insect repellent device which seemed to work. Saw an alligator lounging around in the lake. Beautiful nature sounds. No AT&T nor T-Mobile cell service. This is a low elevation, swampy wetland which does get flooded. Two wheel drive passenger cars should make it okay when the road is mostly dry. Drinking water at the forest work center was shut off.

  Delta National Forest - Barge Lake Campground

  Ultimate Mississippi Bayou

  Dates: Year round 

  Fee: $7.00 per night $3.00 day use 

  Accessible: No 

  YOU MUST HAVE RESERVATIONS AND PAID

  Reservations only 877-444-6777 or recreation.gov Park passes accepted Multiply sites with picnic table, fire ring, lantern pole, potable water is available from the Delta Work F.C. Off of Highway 16 out of Rolling Fork, MS, we turned onto Fire Tower Road, you can take this road at two different places. We went to the second turn for a shorter trip and the gravel road in is not as pot holed the the first turn. Once you pass thru the open gate travel on and you will turn when the road turns just follow the GPS coordinates to the sites. If you love primitive campsites you will love this. We are very partial to primitive sites that are amazing. There is an opening onto a bayou with a small boat launch. Beautiful cypress trees. I would guess that during the season you can make a meal out of the mosquitoes or I would guess they will make a meal of you. This site is so beautiful, I can't wait to go back. The small bayou is great for putting in your kayak. There are beautiful cypress trees on land and in the bayou along with many cypress knobs. Sites that are great for shade and a spot for solar. Make sure to bring in your supplies because you will not want to leave. During the season I am sure there will be more than enough mosquitoes to feast on or there will be plenty to feast on you. Gotta take the sad with the good.

  REMEMBER YOU MUST HAVE RESERVATIONS.

  Pack it in, Pack it out.

  Two is Better Than One

  0937 0940  

  Dates: Year round 

  Fee: $7.00 per night  If you want both sites double the fee  3.00 day use 

  Reservations only 877-444-6777 or recreation.gov

  Picnic table, fire ring, lantern site with pit toilet and trash, and potable water is available from the Delta Work F.C.

  Off of Highway 16 out of Rolling Fork, MS, we turned onto Fire Tower Road, you can take this road at two different places. We went to the second turn for a shorter trip and the gravel road in is not as pot holed than the first turn. Once you pass thru the open gate travel follow the GPS coordinates for directions. If you love primitive campsites you will love this and you will love this National Forest. We are very partial to primitive sites that are amazing. This is a very small campsite equipped with picnic table, fire ring and lantern pole. You will find some beautiful cypress trees and bayou's scattered through out the forest. Alcohol is NOT allowed in DNF. Food storage needs to be taken serious because of bear and wildlife in the forest. These are right off the gravel road and across from each other. I would guess that during the season you can make a meal out of the mosquitoes or I would guess they will make a meal of you. This site is so beautiful and I can't wait to go back. I know this is primitive but remember you MUST HAVE RESERVATIONS AND HAVE PAID FOR SITE. If it has rained you need to be aware that the site could be muddy. It had been bush hogged and was in great shape.

  Fish Lake Campground

  Awesome

  Dates:  year round

  Fee:  $7.00  Must have reservations site 18

            $3.00 day use 

  Accessible:  No

  You must make reservation with 877-444-6777 or recreation.gov

  Picnic table, fire ring, lantern pole.  This is dispersed camping but only in the numbered campsites.  Potable water is available from the Delta Work Force Center.  This is off Highway 16 out of Rolling Fork, MS.  We turned on the second exit for Fire Tower Road because it is shorter to the campsite and the dirt road is in better shape.  Look for the turn and follow it all the way to the dead end.  There is a beautiful, peace cypress water area with cypress stumps and wonderful trees.  The area was bush hogged so grass was very low.  If you love to boondock this is the spot.  No sun so solar will not work.  If you need power bring your generator and I would bring all the supplies needed so you don't have to drive out.

  Great location and customer service.

  Location is absolutely perfect for those traveling and need a nice overnight or decide to stay a few extra like I did. Great dock across the street with a clean property.
