    South Campground — Chicot State Park

    Good hiking, fishing, and scenery!

    Chicot State Park is located near Ville Platte, Louisiana. It’s a nice place to hangout for the day. This park has bathrooms and showers, electrical outlets, and clean facilities. The campsites are a mixed bag - some are great, others are extremely unlevel, & close to one another.

    The park itself is great. Awesome hiking trails, good fishing, and great scenery! There’s a decent sized lake with some good fishing. I recommend kayaking at this park!

    Wooded, quiet, convenient, amazing

    This was a quiet spot surrounded by woods but near the super clean bathroom! There was a fire pit, grill and picnic table for use! Day 2 we rented a boat and paddled out for some fishing. The process was seamless and the staff friendly. The fishing pier was amazing and the kids loved how far out it went. Overall a great experience.

    South Campground — Chicot State Park

    Great State Park

    Chicot State Park is wonderful and well maintained. We had a wonderful weekend stay, and the weather was perfect. Take the time to drive around to the East Landing in the evening before sunset. It has one of the prettiest views of Chicot Lake. Also drive down to the South Fishing Pier below the South Campground. It has a long pier that goes out into the lake. My son spent a lot of time at the splash pad. Be sure to visit the free La. State Arboretum onsite. It has a great visitor center with some fantastic exhibits and nice hiking trails. 

    Stayed in campsite#84. It has a nice deck with picnic table. BBQ grill and fire pit are on the other side of the RV spot. Even though it is in the front, it is actually quite secluded with woods all around. Nearest neighbor was at least 40-50 ft. Away. My son could easily walk or ride his bike to the splash pad. Both AT&T and Verizon had poor signal(1 bar each). Was able to connect to the free park Wi-Fi. It was slow, but I could send text messages and make the occasional phone call. Wasn't a big deal, because I came here to camp and get unplugged. We camped at Chicot State Park in a Travel Trailer.

    South Campground — Chicot State Park

    Tall Trees and Nice Trails

    We stayed at campsite 91. It was very well shaded and the deck attached to it provided a very nice seating area. There weren't a ton of horse flies at the campsite itself, but they were bad on a few of the trails. Bathrooms were decent but smelled of cleaning products. It was a quiet area and the park has a lot to offer. Highly recommend checking out the Arboretum and the trails near it.

    Quit clean camp ground

    My site was across the street from one of the 5 large ponds to fish in. 21 was a shaded spot and only 5 spots from playground, splash pad,pool and store.Great people to work with. Golf carts to rent with lots of room to ride around. Only improvement could be on bathroom and showers no a/c or doors ,only curtains but clean just bugs and heat down falls.

    South Campground — Chicot State Park

    Great Campground

    We went camping in a tent this weekend at the park and really enjoyed it. We stayed at the south landing camping area in loop A. If you plan on camping in a tent I recommend the spots in loop A and most in loop D. B and C are more for RVs but you could still set up there, those two loops are more open and the spots are closer. Loops A and D are a little more spread out and have trees between some spots. The main bathroom was in good shape and had heat. Trash was picked up every morning by the park. Our spot had a fire ring, water , and electricity. The park allows you to use dead tree limbs for firewood. One thing to know about spots on loop A near the comfort station is that there’s a treatment plant in the center that kicks on every once in a while and makes a good bit of noise at night when the motor runs. It helped put me to sleep but it might bother others. Also theres no cell signal except in one or two random spots of the campground but it was nice to unplug for a weekend . We really enjoyed this campground and park though and will definitely be back .

    Lakeview Park

    PRETTY, BUT NOISY

    Don't get me wrong, I am not antisocial, but when I go camping I really want the natural quiet of nature. It was pretty busy, with many people gathered and partying. Kids driving crazy on golf carts. Otherwise, the property is pretty. The sites are easily accessible (our camper is approximately 30 ft). The showers were not available d/t covid 19, but were there. Our site 12 was level and had full hookups. Pet friendly. Large trees. Store on site and snack shop near the beach. Very kid friendly.

    South Campground — Chicot State Park

    Clean, open, comfortable

    It's so well taken care of, it's beautiful, and there's so much to explore. It's a welcoming place to experience Louisiana outdoors.


Guide to Ville Platte

Chicot State Park offers a variety of glamping close to Ville Platte, Louisiana where visitors experience Louisiana's bayou ecosystems. Located in central Louisiana, the park spans 6,400 acres of rolling hills and includes a 2,000-acre man-made lake. The park sits at approximately 70 feet above sea level, creating elevation changes uncommon in this region and affecting camping conditions during seasonal flooding periods.

What to do

Hiking extensive trail systems: The 20-mile loop trail at North Campground — Chicot State Park provides one of the region's most substantial hiking experiences. "One of the best and longest loop trails in the state! 👍🏻👍🏻" notes Josh B., who frequents the trail system.

Fishing for local species: Multiple fishing locations exist throughout the parks, with varying catch potential. At Poche's RV Park & Fish-N-Camp, visitors enjoy private stocked lakes where "three big stocked fishing lakes. Private lakes so no license needed," according to James R.

Biking through varied terrain: The network of paved and unpaved pathways creates cycling opportunities for different skill levels. "I biked most of the paved roads in the state park and was able to go 13 miles without doubling anywhere," explains Nick U., who visited with family.

Wildlife observation: Natural bayou environments support diverse wildlife viewing. Andrea F. shares from her experience at South Campground — Chicot State Park: "There is a ton to see as far as wildlife goes....armadillos, alligators, tons of birds, snakes, etc."

What campers like

Clean facilities: Bathrooms and shower facilities receive consistent positive mentions. "Bathrooms were recently updated so they were really nice. Also the laundry facilities were clean!" reports Cat R. about her stay at North Campground.

Spacious campsites: Many sites offer sufficient room between neighbors. One camper at Lakeview Park describes it as "More like a state park when it comes to plenty of shade and room between sites."

Water recreation options: Beyond fishing, paddling activities remain popular. "We did canoe loop which was pretty easy to follow. Saw some big gators especially by the boat ramp," mentions Pam G., highlighting water-based exploration opportunities.

Cultural experiences: Local festivals and gatherings enhance luxury camping near Ville Platte. Carrie I. explains: "We've not been during the summer, but we loved our kids' Mardi Gras weekend here. Lots of cultural fun and activities for kids and family."

What you should know

Wildlife precautions: Visitors should prepare for encounters with local wildlife. "Negatives are the wasps, ticks, and chiggers," cautions Mike V. about South Campground, while also noting the presence of alligators that prevent swimming in certain areas.

Seasonal variations: Weather patterns affect camping comfort significantly. Sarah B. notes, "Even in February there was a good bit of humidity - and the fish weren't biting," indicating that humidity persists year-round.

Site selection considerations: Not all sites provide equal experiences. Cat R. advises at Lakeview Park: "Not a perfect site due to no shade. The site was gravel and grass, pretty level... Be sure to bring extra sewer hose, the sewer is a far reach!"

Weekend crowding: Peak times bring more visitors and potentially more noise. "The only down side is that it can get a little crowded and noisy on busy weekends," shares Toby D. about North Campground.

Tips for camping with families

Kid-friendly amenities: Facilities specifically designed for children enhance family glamping experiences. At Poche's Fish-N-Camp, Rebecca D. appreciates the "Beautiful grounds and very friendly people. Tons of activities for kids and adults! Pet friendly!"

Playground access: Multiple campgrounds feature playground equipment. Ali C. at South Campground recommends: "Day 2 we rented a boat and paddled out for some fishing. The process was seamless and the staff friendly. The fishing pier was amazing and the kids loved how far out it went."

Entertainment options: Some campgrounds offer structured activities and entertainment. Jessica B. shares her experience at Lakeview Park: "Had such a great and relaxing time! Rented the kayak for an hour multi times. Water is cold and refreshing."

Cabins for family comfort: When tent camping proves challenging, cabin options provide alternatives. Melanie H. explains, "The next time we go, I think we will rent a cabin," after experiencing challenges with noise levels and wildlife at South Campground.

Tips from RVers

Hookup locations: RV campers should verify hookup positions before setup. At Poche's Fish-N-Camp, David B. describes, "Back-in site with concrete parking, picnic table, and fire ring. 15A/30A/50A, water, and sewer hookups. It has a nice grass area with fire pit in the rear of the site next to the lake."

Site leveling: Most sites require minimal leveling adjustments. Jeff T. reports, "Sewer, electric, and water worked perfect," during his 6-day stay at Poche's.

Connectivity options: Internet access varies between campgrounds. David B. notes, "The free WiFi throughout the park was adequate for checking emails, surfing the web, etc."

Campground accessibility: Roads within parks accommodate various RV sizes. Bayou M. describes North Campground as "Beautiful/secluded bayou campground. Was very clean, secure and had wiFi. Friendly staff and beautiful sites. Highly recommend."
