Best Campgrounds near St. Joseph, LA

I went to visit Cleat Springs. It is run down, roads are narrow and broken up, there are water moccasins in the lake. Nothing like the beautiful place it was.

Clean restrooms, nice sites, WiFi. Only downside is I had to call for same day reservations

It has 2 separate areas, both have electric and water at the sites. $25. Smaller RVs and tents only. Dump site at the entrance. There are trials, large picnic areas, and an older bath house with hot showers. Big pond for fishing and swimming.

Needed a place to charge up and empty/refill tanks in my camper van. Full hook ups although I picked a spot without waste dump because I wanted to back into the woods. There is a community dump location anyways. Bathrooms were the cleanest I’ve seen in a public park. Most people seem to come for the fishing but we enjoyed the nature and short hiking trails. unesco world heritage site is less than a 20min drive. I also picked a site close to the showers and bathroom.

I drove through,  The sites are level, clean and about half a pull through.  Each site has a picnik bench fire pit.  However, I did not stay because it had absolutely no Tmobile cell service and being alone and full time.  I did not feel like camping without it.  I did fine another campground on the same road about 150 miles north east. which I stayed at.

Very nice and clean park with energetic and very helpful staff.

We spent a few days at River View RV Park in January, visiting Natchez and enjoying the view of the Mississippi River. The sites were pretty spacious and many have an unobstructed view of the river. There is even a nice paved trail on top of the levee.

The staff was super helpful with advice for what to see and where to eat. We will definitely return when the weather is warmer.

Stayed at site 50, which is right by some parking. Stay at 45-46 for the more secluded spots. Bathrooms really clean, only issue is the shower. When turned on, the entire floor is flooded. However, it is clean. There is a boat launch and hiking trails, along with the mounds. Definitely a beautiful spot to camp.

Nice big pull thrus all along the camping loop. Great camping with mostly one-nighterz. Stayed two days in early December and had no issues.

The campground is a large loop with about 30 sites. Only one bathroom open but everything was clean and garbage service was excellent.

Walked the loop (about 0.6 miles) several times a day. Our site was about 80 yards from the toilet. Lots of trails through the middle of the loop as a shortcut to the toilet.

Nice well maintained campground. Bathhouse is nice and clean. Not many trees. Sites are a nice size. Most have plenty of space between each other. Would be hot for summertime camping.

The reservoir isn’t in the campground. Black bears may be seen. Close to town, so a bit noisier than some. Very nice campground that is very nicely maintained. Historical site. Archeological history.

All is true the park describes. Friendly staff, good and clean facilties, much todo around. And more, Natchez downton has a large and free parking, so you can easily do the short drive for the visit.

All campsites had a picnic table, fire ring and a grill which were typical of these free NPS campsites. The bathroom facilities were clean with running non-potable water. All of the fire rings and grills were rusty and some of the wooden picnic tables were falling apart but we were one of a few campers this early in the season, so hopefully they'll be attended to before the summer rush. We picked a pull-thru site and lit a fire in the ring and used our own camp chairs and table for a lovely star filled night.

Enjoyed my stay for 3 nights. the campgrounds are tucked back in the wooded areas. You drive in from main highway and feel like you’re in a tunnel of trees; temperature drops 5-10 degrees. I was in Campground “B”; nice area with some sites on the lake. Be careful selecting your site, some are uneven and the pad sets above ground level. Sites all have a grill and fire pit. Bathhouse was clean with a washer/dryer for $1.75. Men’s had 2 showers booths. Water pressure at my site was 40 psi no issues. Park is easy access to Natchez and surrounding historical sites.

This campground is the perfect overnight spot; there are some hiking trails & historic sites to visit but, otherwise, it’s just a good spot to pull off the parkway and recharge. There are probably 20-25 sites, most if not all ate large enough for RVs or pull-behind rigs. Above ground fire pits, BBQ grills and picnic tables at most sites, off of the paved parking area(s). The bathroom(s) aren’t great, but they work! 1 bar Verizon, not enough to load any GPS or internet but you can squeeze a message out.

Didn't stay. The website says it is $60/night.

Nice primitive grounds with pull-through and back-in options. Gave a 1 in service because it is a first come first serve. It is a terrific spot to stop and sleep. We camped at Natchez Trace Parkway- Rocky Springs in a Fifth Wheel. Didnt get a chance to take photos, we arrived at dark and left early morning.

Friendly park staff!!! Super clean facilities. Well maintained camp ground.
