Best Cabin Camping near Cullen, LA

Several cabin campgrounds surround the Cullen area, including Cypress Black Bayou Recreation Area and Lake Claiborne State Park Campground. Most cabins feature electricity, running water, and basic furnishings with varying levels of amenities depending on location. "The bathhouse was immaculately clean. I went in expecting a typical park shower room with spiders or bugs. There were NONE," noted one visitor to Cypress Black Bayou. Kels Kove offers lakeside cabins while Gavel Falls provides log cabin rentals with more modern accommodations including air conditioning and private bathrooms.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Lake Bistineau State Park offers simpler cabin setups, while the Shreveport Bossier City KOA provides more amenity-rich options. Most parks require advance reservations, particularly during summer months when occupancy peaks. Pet policies vary by campground—Cypress Black Bayou and Lake Claiborne State Park welcome pets in designated cabins. A camper at Lake Claiborne mentioned, "Spot #29 is the best! Beautiful park, great fishing, kids loved the beach!"

Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities range from basic microwaves to full refrigerators and stovetops in premium units. Many campgrounds feature on-site stores with limited supplies—Cypress Black Bayou and Kels Kove maintain small markets for essential items. Gavel Falls Cabin Rentals includes outdoor amenities like BBQ grills and fire pits with each cabin. Fishing supplies are readily available at lakeside locations like Lake Claiborne and Cypress Black Bayou, where fishing piers connect directly to some cabin sites.

    Gavel Falls Cabin Rentals and RV Campground

    New and clean

    Kind of an odd location— behind an auction yard. Nice concrete slabs for RVs. Fair gravel roads, 3 very nice log cabins, at least 2 covered RV spaces. BBQ grills and fire pits are brand new. Private pond on site. Because it is relatively new they have a few bugs to work out but I would stay there again.

    Poison Oak and Tall Weeds

    PROS 

    Saved $42 With TX STATE PARK PASS 

    No fee to reserve online. 

    No sales tax. U

    pon arriving at Site 23, we had no power at the pedestal. Called Park Headquarters and 2 park personnel were at our site in 10 minutes and resolved problem 

    Site 23 level asphalt 

    Site 23 partial shade 

    Aluminum picnic table, 2 hook lantern pole and metal fire pit with cooking grate 

    Donation firewood available 

    Soap and hand dryer in toilet/shower facility

    CONS 

    No overnight security gate closure 

    Site 23 was 1/3 covered with poison oak and remaining living area covered with tall weeds. 

    Some highway noises. 

    Two PARK HOSTS occupy sites in Woodpecker Hollow. That reduces full hook up sites to 6. One of those sites were used as a temporary dump station due to out-of-service park dump station 

    Woodpecker Hollow toilet/shower facility needs some deep cleaning 

    11 windows in Woodpecker Hollow women’s toilet/shower and only 4 were open. Camp host said rest of windows were painted shut.  Floors were continuously wet and slippery. What a mess! This place needs a fan or two.

    Most pets we saw were NOT on leash 

    No privacy from surrounding campsites 

    No ranger drive thru Woodpecker Hollow 

    No park WIFI

    Lake Bistineau State Park Campground

    Beautiful state park

    Lake Bistineau is a great state park park near Shreveport, LA. We stayed 2 nights. The sites are very shady. The park streets and sites are asphalt. Some roads need repaving. The park was clean and quiet, and the staff was friendly. Unfortunately, the lake was drawn down to eradicate an invasive water plant. But, this presented a unique opportunity. We could walk on the dry lake bottom and see the parts of cypress trees that are normally under water. 

    Stayed in back-in campsite#14 which was level side to side, but the front was higher. The site has a nice view of the lake and a large wooden deck. There was just enough parking for my 34 ft TT and truck. Neighbors are nearby, but not too close. The site included: picnic table on concrete, BBQ pit, trash pole, and fire ring. Utilities: 20/30/50A electric in back. Water in back, good pressure. No sewer, but a dump station is available. 

    AT&T had 2 bars of LTE and Verizon 2 bars of LTE service. AT&T Speedtest: 5.1 Mbps down, 0.7 Mbps up. Verizon Speedtest: 7.4 Mbps down, 0.1 Mbps up. No WiFi. 

    Would stay here again. We camped at Lake Bistineau State Park in a Travel Trailer.

    Gavel Falls Cabin Rentals and RV Campground

    Under New Ownership as a KOA

    This new KOA is ok for an overnight stop while passing through. They recently completed construction on new concrete pads at the front of the property with a swing, picnic tables and fire pit at each site. Absolutely zero shade which was terrible during this heat wave with 105 degree days. 

    As a recently acquired KOA the pool was actually attached to the owners old home (he moved down the property to a new home) and the house is now rentable for larger groups. There are a handful of cabins in the back past the store. The campsite has a bizarre single track road in and out that requires one party to pull off into grass to allow another to pass. 

    If you're looking for all the standard KOA amenities, including jumping pillow or other trademarked amenity, this will do for a night or two.

    Caddo Lake State Park Campground

    Magical state park

    Camped at site #63 in the Mill Pond Camping Area - tent area. This site backed up onto Saw Mill Pond - beautiful cypress swamp. Bugs were not too bad. Gravel drive on site. Level tent pad. Water only; no electric. Clean fire ring. Lantern post. Large site, good separation from other sites. Campground is heavily wooded, lots of shade. Campground is clean & nicely maintained. One restroom is at the entrance to the Mill Pond camping area, just off of a day use parking lot. No shower in this restroom. A newer, nicer restroom/shower house is located in the Woodpecker camping area. Quiet campground; no issues. Good AT&T service. Despite saying it's allowed in the campground features list, alcohol is prohibited. Excellent T-Mobile 5G service.

    Cypress Black Bayou Recreation Area

    Great Park

    This is a parish ran park that is very well maintained. Security measures are excellent. The park is shaded and all sites are either lake side or almost. There are back-in and pull-through sites. Not all of the park is FHU but they have three pull through dumps. There is a new bathhouse that is very clean and requires a code to be entered on a keypad for entry. There is a small wildlife sanctuary (zoo but no petting) and free roaming peacocks. Good fishing from the docks or by boat. The park is close to shopping, casinos, and restaurants. Love this park.

    Lake Bistineau State Park Campground

    Classic southern cypress setting

    A taste of the swamps in north Louisiana. Spanish moss clad Bald Cypress trees in a stereotypical Louisiana lake. Two great boat ramps, cabins and picnic tables. Keep your small dogs on a leash or you may feed the gators. Mosquitoes big enough to land at Barksdale AFB.

    Lake Bistineau State Park Campground

    Nice enough

    We stayed here for a one night stopover. I’m not sure I’d go out of my way to stay there again but I was happy enough with my stop. It’s an older park. The lake is pretty swampy. No sewer at the sites, but water and electric. Cell service with AT&T was pretty weak but manageable to get some work done. Bathhouse was a typical older state park set up. Definitely needs some TLC. It would take a little work to get level in most of the sites from what I can see. They do have a wooden platform (almost like a deck) at most sites that is pretty cool. Our table was old and kinda warped. There is a fire pit. Table and fire are down a level but sites where we stayed were large and spacious. The park was almost empty during our stay but when we booked there were very few open sites available less than a week earlier. That seemed odd once we saw there was literally no one staying there. Sunset was beautiful.

    Delightful Park

    This is a delightful park on the west side of Shreveport. There’s an adorable playground and fabulous pool. Tables with chairs on many sites. Benches, landscaping, grass and shade trees. Clean bathrooms with 3 showers. Road noise might be a distraction for the sites at the entrance area of the park.
