TravelerWe have stayed here on multiple cross country trips and it's always been great for a quiet spot! It's well shaded and our ConnecTen Internet worked great here. Nice walking and very chill atmosphere with clean bath houses.
TravelerHad a nice stay, peaceful, not crowded. Electricity hookup was further than I expected so had to buy 3 additional 20 foot extension cords (total of 4). Luckily there is a family dollar a mile or two away. Other than that no issues.
ScoutOur stay was quiet, great fishing and store was well stocked. Boat ramp worked great for the seadoos we brought
RangerStayed at an RV campsite and had water and electricity no problems. Bathrooms are very spacious and kept clean daily. Canoeing on the Mill Pond was peaceful. Great state park to visit.
GuideThis is a very quite well maintained park. It has restrooms and showers and even laundry.
GuideGreat campground, level, spacious sites, full hook ups. Beautiful park all around. It was very cold when we were there and the restrooms didn't have any heat. Probably don't need it most of the time. Other than no heat, the facilities were nice. Great stay .
GuideThere is a noisy power plant across the lake and I can hear it from my campsite and see the smokestacks
ScoutVery Open and Clean. Access to the water with a boat ramp. Quiet but easy to get to with a nice turn around.
TravelerThis park is amazing. The views are incredible. Although the heat and humidity were a bit much for this yankee, I couldn't get over the setting. We chose a site (of which there were many) with its own deck overlooking the bayou. It was a view right out of a painting. And the senior 50% discount was made it 200% better!

The region sits at an elevation between 100-400 feet with a humid subtropical climate that brings hot summers and mild winters. Water levels at some lakes fluctuate seasonally, affecting access to waterfront cabin sites.
Fishing at the pond: Laguna Vista RV Park provides cabin rentals with easy access to their small fishing pond. "We pulled in late and stayed one night. The owner greeted us and the welcome was genuine and warm... The small pond was great to walk around and chat by," notes Michael.
Explore wildlife areas: Cypress Black Bayou Recreation Area offers a small zoo and nature center near their cabin rentals. "There is a small wildlife sanctuary (zoo but no petting) and free roaming peacocks. Good fishing from the docks or by boat," explains Cheryl C.
Water recreation: Cabin campers can enjoy swimming beaches at certain parks during summer. "Big sites, with a lot of them on the water. A lot have full hookups including sewer. Very quiet. Swim beaches and fishing piers," reports Mark S. about Cypress Black Bayou.
Cabin amenities: The cabins at Lake Bistineau State Park Campground offer comfortable accommodations with basic furnishings. "Stayed in a cabin and it was great! Very clean and useable. Didn't realize they lowered the lake. My fault for not investigating more," mentions Ben.
Spacious sites: Many campers appreciate the layout of campgrounds with cabin options. "I loved the spaciousness of each site leaving a lot of room between you and your neighbors," shares Lea B. about Cypress Black Bayou.
Heated bathhouses: During winter months, some parks maintain heated facilities. "The bathhouse was immaculately clean. I went in expecting a typical park shower room with spiders or bugs. There were NONE. The bathhouse was heated and a welcome chance to shower in something other than a matchbox," reports Lea B.
Seasonal water levels: Lake water levels can change dramatically throughout the year. "We loved the sites, but there are some strict guidelines here. Hookups are a little backwards. They have a fun little zoo on site," notes Carrie I. about Cypress Black Bayou.
Reservation requirements: Some cabin properties have specific policies about minimum stays. At Caddo Lake State Park Campground, cabins book quickly during peak seasons. "We loved the cabin, it made winter camping with kids do-able! Loved hiking and exploring! A ton of CCC history and beautiful bald cypress here!" shares Becca H.
Noise considerations: Some cabin locations experience road or facility noise. "Despite its beauty, there is incessant road noise that you hear from every campsite. If you're a big boater, kayaker, or fisher, maybe you won't mind because it's the best place to do those things," explains Sarah D. about Caddo Lake.
Wildlife encounters: Prepare for local wildlife near cabins. "The bugs are awful, the gators are a little scary, but that's the price you pay for the beauty," explains Kim B. about Caddo Lake.

Bring entertainment: Plan for indoor and outdoor activities when cabin camping with kids. "Just got home from outer first trip to Martin Creek Lake St Park. We had a good time. Though I grew up camping, my wife was slow to come around to it. We took our 3 kids and camped on their primitive island. We enjoyed the hiking trail, playground and did some fishing," shares Dustin S.
Budget for fees: Most cabin properties charge additional fees for extra guests or pets. "Nice place but not free like advertised. 10$ to camp still isn't bad but I decided to move along an find a free location," notes Harrison M. about Caddo Lake.
Extended stays: Shreveport Bossier City KOA offers cabins for travelers who want to transition from RV life. "Did an extended stay here, 3 months while working in the area.
