"One of my favorite places to go camping, trails bring you right through the swamps of South louisiana. Love walking elevated on the path right over the mush and cypress knees galore!"
"What I love, but when you alone all the little things gonna focus on you... cats, raccoons, possums, we were surrendered! The park is really nice for one night."
$33 / night
"Here you can fish, kayak, swim, and dont forget to swing by the Arboretum. very scenic "Louisiana" park"
"The staff was very friendly and they had a great hiking path and playground for our 5 year old."
"The site behind and on the right are very close. (Since we were here for a nearby softball tournament, it was ok.) Site was full hookup for 30 amp only."
"Always a worker around to help! We made friends with everyone! Love this gem!"
$30 / night
"Campground is right off a state highway. Very kid friendly, a large clean pool, mini golf, and lots of space to run and ride bikes! The sites are mostly gravel, with concrete patio area."
$58 - $115 / night
"Pull-thru sites were gravel and fairly level yet pretty close to one another."
"We chose this resort because we wanted a location we could easily Uber or shuttle to NOLA without having to worry about security/safety of ourselves and our RV."
$16 / night
"Pet and kid friendly. There are boat launches and kayak loading areas at most sites. There is a small beach area for campers and a larger beach area open to the public."
"It was a very quiet spot tucked away on the far side of the campground. It was right off the water and had a beautiful view of the sunrise and all the birds."
$45 - $75 / night
"Gator Grounds is a great private RV park near Bunkie, LA. We stayed two nights. Most of the sites are not shady. The park streets are concrete and sites are small crushed limestone."
"Because if we did, their cables and sewage hose would be right outside our door. We had our dog with us so the gravel wasn’t ideal. The tent sites were not located right next to the bathhouse."
"Be careful though in picking your spots because some are in the way back and have no trees, which could be brutal in a Louisiana summer. Nice playground for kids, mini-golf, and clean laundry mat. "
LegendChicot 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!
GuideGood location between Houston, Tx and Pensacola, Fl. Nice host and the sites are well maintained. Close to grocery and gas. Lots of pull through sites for longer rigs. Pool and playground for kiddies. Good size dog park as well. Sites are grass and gravel and are pretty level.
TravelerThis place is one of most favorite camping spots. Level concrete pads, electric for both 30 and 50amp with sewer and water all next to each other. Wifi is a bit weak. Dog park for your fur babies to play in. Then you have the Coushatta casino and all its amenities, so no need to travel far for fun and food for adults and kids. Pool area within camp grounds area. The casino side has a lazy river and a swim up bar for adults, also slides. There's also cabins to rent for those without campers or for friends to come stay.
GuideIf you like to gamble or just want very cheap spot for your RV this is a great deal. At $19 a night plus tax, this place rocked. Concrete pads and pull-thrus throughout. Pool, lodge(under repair 04/21) and large pond. Nice dog park. Bath/shower house was not the best, but clean enough. Lady at check in was very friendly.
GuideShort stay or long stay?? They are great for either. We stayed for 6 days. Loved the fishing. Love the site. Loved the people. We cannot wait to come back here. Sewer, electric, and water worked perfect. Dog park. Laundry was spotless. Crazy Cajuns get rowdy on weekends at the clubhouse. Join them you won’t regret it. If anything watch for amazing sunsets and sunrises!
ScoutThis was our first trip to Lafayette KOA and just our third time camping in our new-to-us travel trailer. My overall impression is that the park is very well maintained, has attentive staff and many activities. We didn’t care for how the sites were so close together. Luckily we didn’t have neighbors to the right of us. Because if we did, their cables and sewage hose would be right outside our door. We had our dog with us so the gravel wasn’t ideal. The tent sites were not located right next to the bathhouse. It’s not a horrible walk, but it’s a lot closer to the majority of the RV sites. They do have a set of restrooms right across from the tents though. We did a little fishing. The ponds were stocked. The water was clear so we could see them, but they were not dumb. We lost a lot of worms, and we only caught three tiny fish. We don’t have kids, but this would have been a great place to take your family. Activities include Mini golf ($), Kayaks ($), paddle boats ($), two pools, pool table in the game room, playground, and a small dog park. We had some strong winds the first night, and our awning ended up getting damaged. I called the front desk, and they sent out maintenance right away to help. The office has a shop with fishing supplies, groceries, RV supplies, and gifts. It’s conveniently located near a grocery store, gas stations, and fast food places. Billy’s Boudin was a quick walk away.There is noise from I-10 and from the nearby train tracks, but it’s not too bad. We’ll definitely be back, but would like to try a different site/area next time!
RangerCheck in was a breeze. Ample sized cement sites with picnic tables. Our 42” 5th wheel has 4 slides and the site was roomy. Hookups we’re good. We were close to dog park which was perfect. Lovely clean campground. The lodge where you register was pretty. Could be marked better as it doesn’t mention anything about registration. There is a guard shack but doesn’t seem to be managed 24/7. So it’s kind of a false sense of security. The pool is large but a long way from the rv park itself. They have a 24 hour shuttle that takes to back and forth to casino. That really is all there is to do here as Lake Charles is 44 min away. We had some people at their camper who felt they should share their music with the entire park. I realize they’re allowed to have loud music until a certain time- however when you can hear it over your TV while sitting in your camper I just think that’s rude! The laundry is very small considering the size of the park and it seemed that people from the hotel used it which I don’t understand as it’s for the RV park. They have 4 dryers only 2 working, 4 washers only 3 working. I had to wait for people to finish with washers and dryers in order to do my 2 loads. Never spent 3 hours doing laundry before. These people were definitely NOT rv’ers! They had suitcases!
RangerOur site was $63 a night for 5 nights & $79 for two nights. We got a weekly rate of $574.16
We were in Site# 2144
The check in was at 12pm and Check out is at 11am.
We had Full hook- up with a concrete pull-through.
We travel towing a 14 foot trailer and were able to fit both in our pull through site along with my jeep.

There is not a community outdoor kitchen but do have quite a few community fire pits.
They sell wood but were out the entire week we were there.
They pickup your garbage at your site daily.
You are allowed to ride personal golf carts. They also allow you to rent golf carts. It is beneficial to have a golf cart to get around since it is a large campground. They would not let us use our e-bikes around the campground.
They do have multiple swimming pools including a water playground and splash pad. There is a huge hot tub. We especially loved the 21+pool with swim up bar. Water Amenities are open from March 29th-October 26th. You can also rent poolside cabanas. They have a few smaller ponds for catch & release fishing.
They have a decent general store with some food, accessories, and clothes options.
There is a separate Activity Center for kids. There are tons of scheduled activities for kids like gem mining, tie dying, candle making, candy bar bingo, sand art, etc.
There is a Playground. They also offer pickleball, cornhole, and basketball sport court. There is a Game room for kids. They have a workout room for adults.
There are three bars (one serving food) and a separate concession stand that also serves food.
Right outside of the park is a delicious restaurant/fresh seafood market with a daiquiri drive thru (many flavors).
There is live music on site!
The streets are paved and good for riding bikes. There is not really anywhere to ride bikes outside of campground.
They have multiple RV slip options along with cabins/cottages/villas for rent. Tent camping is not allowed.
They have many shower houses. The shower house has individual bathrooms with your own sink, shower, toilet. These are kept very clean.
There is a few laundry facilities. They allow you to use cash or credit card. It is approximately $2 to wash and $2to dry a load.
They have a fenced in dog park (Barkaritaville) with a dog wash. It is located in the back far corner of the park.
Bugs were a little bit of an issue and bug spray was definitely needed.
There were no trails to hike in the campground but the park is so huge, it is a great walk within itself.
We shopped at the local market outside of the park and the Piggly Wiggly. We went on the Cajun Food Tour and definitely recommend this (link on CM’s website).
ScoutBeautiful grounds and very friendly people. Tons of activities for kids and adults! Pet friendly! And each site is set up great and all the grounds are clean!
