The Turtle Slide Campground is situated on the north end of Lower Caney Lake within the Caney Lakes Recreation Complex.

Easy $25 for one night while traveling through west coast to east coast to relocate. We were doing hotel camping every other and this is one we decided on with its convenience to Walmart and many other food places. Ruston is also an adorable little downtown areas to explore and has that heart of Louisiana fill. It’s also close to west Monroe where Duck dynasty hometown so that was a fun plus to visit! We did stay in winter season with rain and cold. We have been tenting and enjoy being endured of all nature has so offer this has beautiful fishing hiking and a friendly camp host who was accommodating. They have wood for sale if needed. Water hookup ,electric hookup, showers bathrooms. Which we chose site 43 right next to the restroom house. I would love to come back when weather is better and we aren’t travel driving lagged to enjoy all it had to offer! You do receive a gate code when in person check in so if you book online see if you have received that too!

Very clean. Staff above and beyond helpful and friendly. Showers hot and cleaned daily. Trash removed every morning from receptacles. Sites roomy. Only a few sites have access to lake. All sites tent to big rig friendly with electric and water. Cell service good.
GuideLoved this camp ground. Big spacious spot with hookups and several close to Caney lake. They pulled a ten foot alligator out of there so my morning swim was a little faster than usual. Showers and toilets were older but clean and functional. Definitely on our list if we’re passing close in the future.
ScoutAbsolutely beautiful. Husband was very helpful. I highly recommend this place. Very quiet and nice. Will stay there again.
ScoutMy wife and I really enjoyed this get away for the weekend. The site was nice and quite. The view of the vineyard from the site was amazing. Mr. Jeff came by and greeted, even assist me by allowing me to borrow a hose to complete the hook up on my camper. The staff at the winery was very polite and friendly. Thank you all for such a great experience!!
ScoutWe really enjoyed our stay. We were the only campers so it was very quiet and peaceful. The site was clean and level which is always a plus for us
ScoutWe have stayed in the vineyard three times. It’s a nice drive from the interstate and a very peaceful place to spend the night. The RV sites are easy to access. The power, water, and WiFi are good. We were there in May, and twice in September.

This place was quiet and very peaceful. We had our own fishing pier at our site. The bathroom were big and clean. Had A/C and the water was extremely hot.
ScoutWe arrived close to the tasting room closing time, but were able to call in an order for wine, cheese & crackers to be delivered to the campsite for a very pleasant end of a long day of driving. Very accomodating service and beautiful view of the vineyards!
ScoutThanks to our hosts and staff for a delightful stay at this beautiful vineyard. We so much enjoyed visiting and sampling the fruits of their labors! Thanks for the hospitality! We look forward to our next visit! Pearl and John
ScoutWe arrived around 6 p.m. and were warmly greeted by the owner, who kindly explained how to reach our site on the hill that overlooks a beautifully maintained and fruitful vineyard. Watching the sunrise over the vineyard the next morning as I strolled through the fields with our furry companion revealed the simple yet captivating beauty of the surroundings. We were so impressed by our stay that we couldn't resist ordering wine online. Highly, highly recommend this place. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
ScoutThe vineyard is beautiful and the hosts were just as lovely. We sat down for a couple tastings and played card games in the indoor area since it was brutally hot outside. We had a wonderful conversation with the owner who made us feel at home. We definitely recommend this location!
Scoutthis was an absolutely beautiful location, and the staff was amazing! Sites were wide and easily accessible and the Vineyard is absolutely amazing! Went in for a wine tasting and walked away with a bottle to take with me! Follow the directions to staff gives you and not the GPS if you have a big rig! Even then, the roads in were a little tight, but definitely manageable! 10 minutes off I-20 if you drive slow. I will definitely be staying here again if I’m passing through the area!
ScoutThis was a great overnight stop. Very level site (6) with water and electricity. Beautiful location. Great wine, and very nice staff. I would visit again.
ScoutLove the winery and people are the best. Location to West Monroe and other sites are close. Only concern is no tornado shelter close.
ScoutThe Landry’s Grape Escape was beautiful, peaceful, and the most restful night we had on our two weeks of travel across country. We highly recommend it.
ScoutWe stayed overnight on a long road trip at the lovely and pristine Landry Grape Escape. It was beautiful and peaceful. We would not hesitate to stay again. Libby Landry was responsive and very helpful. We h ighly recommend the Landry Grape Escape.
ScoutWe stayed in site 5 with electricity and water on a Wed. Nice level gravel pad. We have a 33' Class A with toad and it was hot so wanted the electric for the a/c. We did the wine tasting and they have about 24 varieties to choose from including 3 ports. Pick 6 for the tasting. Bought a bottle of the Cottonport port for the road. Great with chocolate or dessert.
ScoutGreat gem to visit and stay overnight. Follow the hosts directions. Great wine too!
ScoutWe absolutely loved our stay at Landry Vineyards. We have a 40’ fifth wheel and spent the night on site 3 with 50 amp power. The view and the peaceful setting were just magnificent! We enjoyed some pizza and cheese along with some fun music on their patio. Would definitely stay again!
ScoutTent Camped in Site 35. Perfect conditions. Woke up to peaceful morning and was able to get some mountain biking in. Bathrooms and facilities were top notch.
TravelerThe sites are absolutely beautiful, level, and have power and water. The scenery is beautiful and the wine tasting is a definite bonus. Highly recommend this place.!!!!
TravelerAbsolutely beautiful place. You can’t go wrong if you stay here.
ScoutWe loved the new sites 5-8. We stayed in site 5. Very level and new need unhook. Didn't have a chance to try the wines which we regret. I give this Harvest Host a 10. Quiet and comfortable.
TravelerWe absolutely loved the GrapeEscape at Landry Vinyards. The spots are level and nice, the whole property is absolutely gorgeous. We were lucky enough the be in a spot that is right across the road from the Winery and they had live music the day we came in. We visited the winery for a tasting, bought some wine and things to make a meat / cheese tray and took it back to our RV to enjoy the music and do a little dancing! It was an amazing experience that we will definitely enjoy again!
ScoutBeautiful location. Wine was great. Try to be there on a weekend when they have music.
