    Farr Park RV Camground

    Great location

    Stayed Thu-Sun on an LSU football game weekend. Didn’t see anyone at the office- but spaces are well marked for finding the reserved spot. We were in B6- so no real shade- in the late afternoon the only decent shade is on row E. We had good cell signal and were able to stream.

    When we arrived there were very few campers- but the park got a lot more visitors by late Friday. It was still pretty quiet throughout the stay. Many of the “campers” were large class A or Fifth wheels, but there were a few smaller units like ours (17 ft. TT). The spaces are grass which was obviously recently mowed and the driveway is white gravel/rock. We used the back trail to get to the levee to ride our e bikes and went on about a 30 mile ride south past L’Auberge, and then we went on another 10 mile ride north toward the capital. The bike paths are in good condition and there are a good number of walkers/runners/bicyclists/and scooters using the paths. I checked out the bath house and it was clean and well maintained. There were 4 (ladies) showers and 3 stalls. There are multiple spaces for campers to dump, although we needed to use the front spots due to height. We decided to get an early start on Sunday morning and were at the dump station before 8- only one other unit arrived when we were finishing up- there wasn’t a line to wait in for us. We will definitely return to Farr for another game weekend. We really enjoyed our stay.

    Bogue Chitto State Park Campground

    One of our favorite state parks

    We love this park. Huge park with plenty of places to explore. We saw plenty of wildlife such as turkey, deer, rabbits, turtles, alligators and birds. Plenty of trails for hiking and biking. The river offers a nice swimming hole during the summer. WiFi worked good enough. Verizon cell service worked well in most areas of the park.

    Safe and Clean

    Needed a placed to stay in Baton Rouge for a weekend and didn’t want to pay $300 for a hotel so I decided to car camp.

    Plenty of spaces open in April, was a perk to be able to see the animals too.

    Quiet area, well kept. I only paid $10 per night since I didnt use any hookups.

    Would definitely stay again.

    Lakeside RV Park

    Clean, Organize, Friendly Overnight Stop

    Arrived an hour early but no hassle, they were ready. It was raining hard but they lead me to my spot gladly. Bathrooms were well maintained, clean. Little store had essentials and they weren’t overpriced. They are easy in an out from interstate. I only stayed overnight but was a pleasant visit; you use them again. My site didn’t have a view of the lake but didn’t care just stayed overnight. The site was level and easy to back in.

    Fairview-Riverside State Park

    Ok for a stop over

    Ok for a stopover. We had to book 2 nights since it was a weekend. This might be a good place to stay if you were attending an event in New Orleans such as a game. But the sites are super close together and not much shade. They have wifi but when we connected it said ‘no internet’ so apparently it wasn’t working. AT&T cell service was 5G.

    Handicap bathrooms are decent but lights are motion censored so can turn off on you while you are in the shower. People at the front entrance are very nice but seem a bit frazzled. They could use more staff to take the load off. I do believe there are homeless people coming in here without paying to shower and stay in their cars from time to time from what I heard from staff. Did not witness this however.

    Fontainebleau State Park Campground

    Not my favorite but not terrible

    I really expected more from them considering it’s all anyone can talk about. Bathrooms were usually clean but quickly dirtied. Showers didn’t drain but they have water fountains for you to fill bottles. It had poured a few days before we went and had to switch sites three times before getting one that was even remotely dry. Definitely way more an rv park than for tent camping. All of the tent spots were either not very maintained or close together. Out of the 100 something people camping there only a handful were friendly to us. Did not have that campground vibe.

    Calloway RV and Campground

    Nasty and disgusting

    This is so nasty I will never come back here and y'all are trying to get us to loose our camper and loose everything this is the worst campground and we probably could have slept in the car instead of living in your campground

    Fontainebleau State Park Campground

    Awesome campground!

    Absolutely beautiful park! Great paved bike trail that you can get to from the campground. Be careful booking a pull thru site if your unit is over 25', they're horseshoe shaped. We could not fit on a pull thru site, and Betty at the entrance was awesome and found us the perfect back-in site that made our stay amazing!

Camping near Walker, Louisiana, offers a mix of beautiful scenery and fun activities for everyone. Whether you're looking for a peaceful retreat or an adventure-filled getaway, there are several campgrounds nearby that cater to all types of campers.

What to do:

  • Explore nature trails: Many campgrounds, like Bogue Chitto State Park Campground, have great hiking trails. One camper mentioned, "The hiking trail connects just across the road so easy access but kind of hard to find the trailhead."
  • Wildlife watching: Campers often spot various wildlife. A visitor at Fontainebleau State Park Campground noted, "Tons of wildlife to be seen. The raccoons are smart, and not scared of humans, lol."

What campers like:

What you should know:

  • Noise levels: Some campgrounds can be noisy due to nearby roads or other campers. A camper at Lake End Park Campground & Marina noted, "Being located practically within the city limits... road noise... doesn't quiet down until well after midnight."
  • Wildlife precautions: Raccoons and other wildlife can be a nuisance. One camper at Fontainebleau State Park Campground warned, "Definitely lock all food in your car. Raccoons around here will unzip your tent and rob you."
  • Site selection: Some sites may not be suitable for larger RVs. A reviewer at Bayou Segnette State Park Campground advised, "Big rigs need to choose their sites carefully."
