Tunica Hills Campground's pet-friendly sites accommodate tent campers, RV travelers, and those seeking cabin or glamping experiences in the rolling terrain of St. Francisville. The campground features separated sites divided by natural ravines, providing privacy for campers with dogs. Nearby Green Acres Campground and Peaceful Pines RV Park also welcome pets with full hookup options. Baton Rouge KOA, located about 30 miles south, offers a dedicated dog park area that receives consistently positive mentions from visitors. Most campgrounds in the area maintain standard leash policies, though specific pet rules vary by location. The Maxey Care RV Park provides pet-friendly accommodations with both 30 and 50 amp hookups at reasonable rates of $34 per night, making it an economical option for travelers with animals.

The geography at Tunica Hills differs dramatically from typical Louisiana landscapes, creating distinctive hiking experiences for campers with dogs.

Several campgrounds provide green spaces specifically designed for pet relief areas, though campers should always carry waste bags as amenities vary between locations.

    Baton Rouge KOA

    Exactly what you need when visiting Baton Rouge!

    We have stayed here for 4 consecutive years for the Louisiana Marathon weekend in January and couldn’t ask for a better home base for one of our favorite race weekends.

    They offer regular pull thru spots with both 30 and 50 amp full hook ups and deluxe with a fire ring and patio space. The campground and bath house are kept clean and there is even a dog park for your furry camping friends.

    Great place

    Short stay or long stay?? They are great for either. We stayed for 6 days. Loved the fishing. Love the site. Loved the people. We cannot wait to come back here. Sewer, electric, and water worked perfect. Dog park. Laundry was spotless. Crazy Cajuns get rowdy on weekends at the clubhouse. Join them you won’t regret it. If anything watch for amazing sunsets and sunrises!

    Camp Margaritaville RV Resort Breaux Bridge

    Super fun place to be

    Our site was $63 a night for 5 nights & $79 for two nights. We got a weekly rate of $574.16

    We were in Site# 2144 The check in was at 12pm and Check out is at 11am.
    We had Full hook- up with a concrete pull-through.
    We travel towing a 14 foot trailer and were able to fit both in our pull through site along with my jeep.

    The site was easy to level.

    Our site was fairly shaded with one tree. This was a smaller lot with our neighbors fairly close.

    The lot comes with a concrete patio with picnic table and fire ring.

    It is an easy access to the campground from highway -(less than 1 mile from highway).

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

    There is not a community outdoor kitchen but do have quite a few community fire pits.
    They sell wood but were out the entire week we were there.

    They pickup your garbage at your site daily.

    You are allowed to ride personal golf carts. They also allow you to rent golf carts. It is beneficial to have a golf cart to get around since it is a large campground. They would not let us use our e-bikes around the campground.

    They do have multiple swimming pools including a water playground and splash pad. There is a huge hot tub. We especially loved the 21+pool with swim up bar. Water Amenities are open from March 29th-October 26th. You can also rent poolside cabanas. They have a few smaller ponds for catch & release fishing.

    They have a decent general store with some food, accessories, and clothes options.

    There is a separate Activity Center for kids. There are tons of scheduled activities for kids like gem mining, tie dying, candle making, candy bar bingo, sand art, etc.

    There is a Playground. They also offer pickleball, cornhole, and basketball sport court. There is a Game room for kids. They have a workout room for adults.

    There are three bars (one serving food) and a separate concession stand that also serves food.

    Right outside of the park is a delicious restaurant/fresh seafood market with a daiquiri drive thru (many flavors).

    There is live music on site!

    The streets are paved and good for riding bikes. There is not really anywhere to ride bikes outside of campground.

    They have multiple RV slip options along with cabins/cottages/villas for rent. Tent camping is not allowed.

    They have many shower houses. The shower house has individual bathrooms with your own sink, shower, toilet. These are kept very clean.

    There is a few laundry facilities. They allow you to use cash or credit card. It is approximately $2 to wash and $2to dry a load.

    They have a fenced in dog park (Barkaritaville) with a dog wash. It is located in the back far corner of the park.

    Bugs were a little bit of an issue and bug spray was definitely needed.

    There were no trails to hike in the campground but the park is so huge, it is a great walk within itself.

    We shopped at the local market outside of the park and the Piggly Wiggly. We went on the Cajun Food Tour and definitely recommend this (link on CM’s website).

    Camp Margaritaville RV Resort Breaux Bridge

    Peaceful & Clean

    Let’s start that COVID sucks, a lot is closed due to the CVD but it’s also a holiday week I will add as we celebrate the New Year. During the week it is quiet, and pretty empty. Pet friendly, decent space between spots, all 30/50A cable sewer water hookups.

    Tunica Hills Campground

    Campground was great!

    Ms. Brenda is the best! This campground has all the amenities! Hot water is tricky but the coffee pot makes up for it. There’s a microwave as well. Most of all the sites are separated by the ravines. We hiked down to the creek from the site and also went on trail C at tunica. I wouldn’t recommend trail c if you have small kids unless you wear them in a pack. Brenda has wood you can purchase if you forgot or run out. We were right next to the bathroom, sink, and shower.

What you should know

Limited supplies and services: Most campgrounds near St. Francisville have minimal amenities and require preparation. "It's a peaceful place to camp. Just make sure you bring all your supplies you think you migt need because there isn't any store for miles," warns Matthew J. about Tunica Hills Campground.
