    Mostly peaceful

    You have to carry your stuff to your camp site as people have already said. Ownership is nice and helpful. You can buy a small bundle of wood for $5. Stayed in the little A frame cabin. Port-o-potties are clean and there is a shower and a sink. I also had good service the whole time(verizon.)

    Tunica Hills Campground

    Beautiful and unique

    Loved this small quiet camp ground. It is basically hike-in, although the host is great enough to offer to haul your stuff with her 4WD atv cart. The common areas are a surprising bonus. Shower was lukewarm but portopotties are spotless. Dishwashing station and outdoor kitchen are icing on cake.

    We stayed at the site “Wilson” which was incredible. If you don’t want / need electricity site #10 is tops.

    Quit clean camp ground

    My site was across the street from one of the 5 large ponds to fish in. 21 was a shaded spot and only 5 spots from playground, splash pad,pool and store.Great people to work with. Golf carts to rent with lots of room to ride around. Only improvement could be on bathroom and showers no a/c or doors ,only curtains but clean just bugs and heat down falls.

    Baton Rouge KOA

    Great location, safe and warm southern hospitality

    We stopped in Baton Rouge on our cross country journey from CA to Florida.  We had plans in the area for an authentic swamp tour and a visit to New Orleans.  The KOA is a really great place to stay.  We arrived late on our first night and rolled in and went to bed.  The next day, a Saturday, the KOA serves a home-cooked breakfast (for a small charge.). When you don't have groceries, and you are tired - this was a wonderful treat!  The hosts gave us many suggestions on our visit to New Orleans.  If you need to go to the store, it is close to many major stores and grocery stores.  It was clean and every staff person we met was helpful.  They even refilled our propane.  It's always nice to meet locals who have area recommendations and we appreciated the hospitality.

    Tip: If you are looking for a unique, nature based experience, I highly recommend Captain Ronnie, owner of River of Swamp Boat Tours.  He takes you out on the bayou where you see the beautiful scenery, birds, trees and yes, alligators!  This was one of the highlights of our trip.

    Campground road in horrendous condition with non stop pot holes 

    Only 2 women’s and 2 men’s toilets for the entire park which are in the pool house. Since we didn’t see any other on the campground map we inquired at the welcome center/office/store and they confirmed those are it for the park. 

    Site#22 not level

    Our campfire ring was under the next sites camper slide out, so totally unuseable

    Poche's RV Park & Fish-N-Camp

    Nice RV park. Convenient for canoeing in Bayou Teche.

    Poches RV park is nice, well maintained, and has number of amenities. We had a wonderful weekend stay, and the weather was perfect. We canoed in the Shake Your Trail Feather festival on Bayou Teche. The RV park was close the the canoe trailhead. Take the time to explore the city of Breaux Bridge. 

    Go to Poches Market and buy some pork sausage stuffed with jalapeos. Also, be sure to make a reservation and go eat at Little Big Cup in Arnaudville about 15 minutes away. 

    Stayed in campsite#69. Back-in site with concrete parking, picnic table, and fire ring. 15A/30A/50A, water, and sewer hookups. It has a nice grass area with fire pit in the rear of the site next to the lake. Not much shade in the campsite. The site is located on the lake. Neighbors were pretty close. Roads in the park were asphalt or gravel. The free WiFi throughout the park was adequate for checking emails, surfing the web, etc. We camped in a Travel Trailer. Would stay here again. We camped at Poche's RV Park in a Travel Trailer.

    Tunica Hills Campground

    Hike-In Campground Less than 10 Miles from popular Tunica Hiking Spot

    This campground is about as old school as you can get without being totally remote. This campground is NOT accessible by GPS, and visitors must follow the online directions. Be wary of arriving at night, as there are no lights and it is pretty difficult to get set up. Visitors can choose to hike into the campground or be driven in by ATV if available. The campground had plenty of tinder and firewood. Outdoor showers were actually not too bad in October, and I felt that they were private enough. Less than 10 miles from the Tunica trails and waterfalls that everyone knows of! Overall I liked this campground a lot, and was more secluded than most others I've been to.

Night wildlife observation: The secluded setting of Baton Rouge KOA provides opportunities for evening nature appreciation.

Secluded campsites: Many tent sites at Tunica Hills Campground offer privacy from neighboring campers. "Most campsites are secluded from others. I recommend this place to anyone," shares Christian J., emphasizing the privacy that makes this location appealing for those seeking solitude in their glamping experience.

Distinctive terrain: The unusual topography stands out as a major attraction. "One of the most beautiful camp sites in LA. The geography here is not like anywhere else I have seen in Louisiana," reports Kase D., highlighting the distinctive landscape that separates this region from typical Louisiana flatlands.

Fishing opportunities: Poche's RV Park & Fish-N-Camp features multiple stocked fishing lakes that don't require licenses. "They have 5 fishing lakes here and every spot is on the lake," notes Ioan P., making this an ideal option for anglers seeking convenient fishing access during their stay.

What you should know

Navigation challenges: GPS services may not reliably direct you to some camping areas. "This campground is NOT accessible by GPS, and visitors must follow the online directions. Be wary of arriving at night, as there are no lights and it is pretty difficult to get set up," warns Tess E. about Tunica Hills Campground.

Remote location considerations: Pack adequate supplies as shopping options are limited. "Just make sure you bring all your supplies you think you might need because there isn't any store for miles," advises Matthew J., highlighting the importance of advance planning for provisions.

Bathroom facilities: Restroom amenities vary significantly between locations. "Port-a-Potty was clean," notes Fabein D., while other campgrounds offer more substantial facilities. Some locations feature outdoor showers that work well in warmer months but may present challenges during cooler seasons.

Tips for camping with families

Kid-friendly exploration areas: Some campgrounds offer designated play spaces for children. "There are areas for the kids to play in the woods some of the areas are steep and they needed supervision (5&6 year old)," explains Leigh S. from Poche's RV Park & Fish-N-Camp, providing insight for parents planning activities.

Playground access: Several camping locations provide dedicated recreational facilities. "If leave KOA property towards back via bike or foot there is a nice park with playground equipment and another large dog area," suggests Nicole R., offering additional entertainment options for families with children.

Pack entertainment options: Limited connectivity means bringing physical activities and games. "We enjoyed that it was walk in but still had running water and hook ups," shares Nicolette F., indicating that while basic amenities exist, families should plan for unplugged entertainment.

Tips from RVers

Site selection considerations: RV campers should research specific campground policies. "This place is no longer green acres campground. It is now Pleasant Pines RV Park. No tents allowed," cautions Jim H. about Green Acres Campground, highlighting the importance of confirming current accommodation policies.

Concrete pad availability: Many sites offer level, solid parking options. "Full hookup site with a level concrete pad," reports Andy C. about his experience at Baton Rouge KOA, providing reassurance for those concerned about parking surface quality.

Utility connections: Most established campgrounds provide complete hookups. "Sewer, electric, and water worked perfect," confirms Jeff T., noting the reliability of essential services for RV campers seeking glamping in St. Francisville and surrounding areas.
