Best Campgrounds near Maurepas, LA

406 Reviews

Camping near Maurepas, Louisiana encompasses a mix of state parks and private RV resorts set among cypress swamps and waterways. Notable options include Tickfaw State Park in Springfield and Lakeside RV Park in Livingston, both within a short drive of Maurepas. The area sits between Baton Rouge and New Orleans, providing access to both urban amenities and natural bayou landscapes. Fontainebleau State Park on Lake Pontchartrain's north shore offers Spanish moss-draped oak trees and waterfront camping about 45 minutes southeast. Most campgrounds in the region provide both RV and tent camping options, with several offering cabin rentals for those seeking more shelter.

The subtropical climate makes camping possible year-round, though summer brings intense heat, humidity, and mosquitoes. According to campers, bug repellent is essential from April through October. Many state parks in the region experience periodic flooding, particularly during spring and hurricane season (June through November). Campers should check water levels before arrival, especially at Tickfaw State Park, where river flooding occasionally forces campsite cancellations. Cell service is generally reliable throughout the area, with Verizon and AT&T providing strong coverage at most campgrounds. Most established campgrounds require reservations, which are strongly recommended for weekend stays when sites fill quickly.

Family-friendly amenities distinguish many campgrounds in the region. Tickfaw State Park features separate camping loops for tents and RVs, boardwalk trails through swamps, and a splash pad for summer cooling. "The tent camping section has defined private tent sites with picnic tables and parking next to each site," notes one regular visitor. Fontainebleau State Park includes beaches, fishing piers, and bike trails. The low-lying topography means campsites can become muddy after rain, a common occurrence in this part of Louisiana. Big-rig friendly sites are available at most RV parks in the area, with full hookups common at private resorts and partial hookups (water and electric) at state parks.
