"The staff was wonderful and they walked us through setting up the rv. Everyone was very friendly. It’s a beautiful camp ground."

There is free WiFi. They offer Cable TV and there are many channels."

GuideNeeded a placed to stay in Baton Rouge for a weekend and didn’t want to pay $300 for a hotel so I decided to car camp.
Plenty of spaces open in April, was a perk to be able to see the animals too.
Quiet area, well kept. I only paid $10 per night since I didnt use any hookups.
Would definitely stay again.
GuideCampground is not very old, new construction. Just off the main highway south of Lafayette. Great spot if going the to Tabasco Factory. Bathrooms were clean with plenty of hooks to Hang stuff. My site was level and backed up to a farm Field; felt peaceful no road noises. They even called me the night before to see when I was arriving, thoughtful. Wanted to be sure I had all the information and codes if I arrived after hours.
GuideArrived an hour early but no hassle, they were ready. It was raining hard but they lead me to my spot gladly. Bathrooms were well maintained, clean. Little store had essentials and they weren’t overpriced. They are easy in an out from interstate. I only stayed overnight but was a pleasant visit; you use them again. My site didn’t have a view of the lake but didn’t care just stayed overnight. The site was level and easy to back in.
GuideYou may be scared off by the no trespassing signs but there are camp spots where the benches are at, a few spots in the back. I just parked at nature trail for the night because it was much darker. A full moon crispy early Apr night, so the bugs died down by midnight and slept until about 6am with all windows open. Experience backwooda Baton Rogue which is a unique bayou vibe. Would have done 4 stars if I was a shooter or boater, and its a bit of a few mile drive to get in there, roads are dirt but okay for your sedan.
LegendStayed here with the Passport America discount and paid $23 for a 30 amp FHU site, so roughly double that for the full price. 50 amp is a bit more. Sites are all back in, and on the freeway, so it’s very loud. The website directs you to book your site online, but when we tried to do that, every single site showed as being available, which didn’t seem right to me, so we decided to just drive to the park first. Office was closed when we arrived (owners were at church), so we drove through the park, found an open site, found that site on their website, paid, and pulled in and set up. Owners pulled up to greet us and welcome us when they returned from church so I guess how we did it was fine.
Park is very basic, but nice. Free hot showers, nice laundry room ($4 for wash, $1.50 for dry- expensive but the machines are bigger than normal). There’s also a coke vending machine. Dumpster here but no recycling. Park offers free wifi but my Kaspersky internet security didn’t like something about it (doesn’t usually alert me when I use public wifi), so I just used my cell phone hotspot. Good cell service with ATT and Verizon.
GuideOkay, if you’re not into a bunch of fellow campers with children, I get that but how can you hate 3 pools with swim up bars, a giant hot tub and a well manicured park? Park really opens April 1 but we needed a taste of summer and we found it here
ScoutI called them the day of because I was traveling and I got a spot, got a code for the gate. Nice people, quiet
GuideWe visited for a softball tournament and the location is perfect, less than a mile from the complex. The park was well kept. There is a small fishing pond so bring a pole. My husband caught a bass. It was stocked with perch as well. The owner was friendly and very appreciative of our business. Would definitely stay again if we are in the area. Verizon and AT&T cell service worked well.
ScoutThis is so nasty I will never come back here and y'all are trying to get us to loose our camper and loose everything this is the worst campground and we probably could have slept in the car instead of living in your campground
