    The Ahtus Melder Equestrian Camp is set up very openly, leaving the campers to use their imagination on how best to camp. Melder Camp is very primitive, no water is available, no restroom facilities, please bring your trash out with you and enjoy your stay.

    The Hunter Camp is a very primitive camping area in the middle of the forest. There is a camping loop area and a vault restroom facility and is centrally located near the Ouiska Chitto Trail. The Longleaf Scenic Area is also nearby with the Big Branch Trail running right next to the camp.

      Hunters Camp - Calcasieu Ranger District

      Can't beat free

      The Hunter Camp is situated just off range road. You're surrounded by wilderness. The only amenities are a vault toilet. Fort Polk is close enough for supplies, check your gate schedules. Marines were utilizing the ranges in the area, and a couple officers came though the hunter camp just exploring.

      Theres a hiking trail near by, stating no motorized vehicles, but you can mountain bike, hike and ride horses. No fishing near by unless you drive to the blue hole complex further down range road.

      Apparently they're allowing logging around the camp, so do a check before you go set up.

      Clairborne Trail $5.00 access fee 

      This campground is free and will accommodate RV's, tents, and trailers. No facilities, totally primitive. This is a really great spot and plenty of room for all.  Great open green space for grazing.  No reason to park next to your neighbor.  Site is well maintained but if it has rained it could be very muddy. Very open and it has nice mature trees.

      Hunters Camp - Calcasieu Ranger District

      Simple basic camping

      My wife and I camped here just before memorial day and had the entire campsite to ourselves. I imagine during hunting season this camp is quite busy, however we found it very peaceful in the off months. But hey, it’s free camping. Because of its location so deep in the woods mosquitoes, horseflies, and yellow flies were in abundance. Using a therma cell was perfect at keeping them at bay. There is a composting toilet in the middle of the campground that was very clean as it has had very little use.

      Place to crash

      There is not much to this campground. Located inside the Kisatchie National Forest, Evangeline District. As soon as you enter the area, there is a small loopped grassy area with lots of trees. Nothing else to indicate a campground (other than the sign). If you follow the road/concrete path, you may lose a tire or axil bc the road is in BAD condition. Staying here gives you access to the forrest and multiuse trails.

      Pack it in, pack it out, and free

      Inside the Kisatchie National Forest, Calcasieu District, Vernon Unit. 2 loops of dispersed camping, grounds not well kept, vault toilet. There is no water and signs say pack in and pack out but there was a trash bin. Very basic place to pitch a tent and explore the area around.
