Best Glamping near Greenwell Springs, LA

One of the most beautiful camp sites in LA. The geography here is not like anywhere else I have seen in Louisiana very nice and the owner is super accommodating.

Tickfaw State Park is a Louisiana State Park located just outside of Springfield, LA.  The park is not very large, but big enough not to constantly run into people.  On this visit, we took our Christmas pictures along the “Cypress Gum Trial” - a boardwalk walk trail located across the street from the campsites and around the playground(s).  There is a nice covered area with picnic tables.  There are 2 camping loops - (1) for tents and (1) for RV’s.  Our site, #37 on the tent loop, we had enough space as well as privacy.  We went the weekend after Thanksgiving and the park was not overcrowded and the weather was perfect.  I did find the boardwalk trail was VERY slippery covered in wet leaves.

This park is VERY family friendly.

Camping - There are 2 loops - 1-primative tent only camping, 1-RV/tent camping. There is a nice bathhouse in a central location to both loops. There is a bit of privacy between tent spots because of the trees. My favorite spots are 47,49,50. I have had a few of my reservations cancelled by the park when the river is high because the camping areas will flood.

Park - there are few different hiking trails - check Tickfaw River levels (or call park) because when the river is high, 1 or 2 of the trails could be under water. There is a ADA boardwalk trail that is very nice (especially for the kiddos) with a covered picnic area. The park offers a nature center that is really nice and they have animal demonstrations where you are able to really learn about Louisiana wildlife and touch the animals as well. This park is a great place to bring bikes as well. During the summer months, there is a splash pad that kids really enjoy. This is also a great park to rent canoes (or bring your own) for a day out on the waterways.

My kids LOVE Yogi Bear because of what it is. YOGI BEAR lol. The place is very run down and I don’t really see where the money is actually going. The sites are horrible, uneven and broken up cement. Doesn’t really pay to have the sites cemented where they are. In the back they aren’t and it really looks like you park where you want. Lots of people brag about their activities but all the times we’ve been here we’ve never known about any activities. The permanent sites here are just ratchet looking. They also have its own “neighborhood” of people living here. The golf coarse was filthy and full of mosquitoes. I’m from south Louisiana so I know about mosquitoes and this was a bit ridiculous in the middle of the day. The basketball court is all broken up and crappy looking. I just see way better Yogi Bear campgrounds out there and it’s such a shame because my kids love Yogi and this one is so close to home!!

Clean park with friendly, helpful staff. Sites are closely spaced but we didn’t feel cramped or invaded. Full hookup site with a level concrete pad. Pool and hot tub were clean and well maintained. Putt putt golf and the game room were enjoyed by all, especially the grandkids.

We had just bought our rig down the street from this KOA. The staff was wonderful and they walked us through setting up the rv. Everyone was very friendly. It’s a beautiful camp ground. Close to a lot of things ie RV stores, food, etc. we are planning to visit again soon. It is by far our favorite place

Amenities u would expect from KOA. Quiet. Level site. Paved. Shower room, private but no sink or mirror in one of the bathhouses. Staff super nice. I would stay again. Verizon was spotty at times.

So far we have enjoyed our stay been here a couple of weeks pool is nice people are friendly

Considering their are no other parks in the area or even very close to the area I would say it's an okay park . I think it's way over priced and the hours/ days it's open for anything other than rv's/ camper trailers is very limited. But it is very clean and the staff was friendly

I've never stayed in a nicer KOA that this one.

The tents sites were VERY small.  I could barely fit a 1 person tent in the designated area (reason for 4 vs 5 stars).  Facilities were amazing.

Nice spot, area for dogs, cute gift shop and very nice staff.

Wonderful staff. Grounds kept very clean. Would definitely stop here again.

Basic campground with pool, awesome dog park area at campground. If leAve Koa property towards back via bike or foot there is a nice park with playground equipment and another large dog area

Sites are tight. Has a putt putt course. Close to a Bass Pro Shop store. Lots of shade.

Nice RV Park with pull through slots.

This place is no longer green acres campground. It is now pleasant pines RV Park. No tents allowed.

Owner sand management are the nicest people. Quite, peaceful and in a close location to town. Would stay here again if I am ever in the area. They have change their name to Peaceful Pines and the name says it all.

Off the beaten path

Had a great time waking the trails. The splash park was great place to cool off

Nice and quiet campground. We met some great folk and the camp host was very friendly and accommodating. Will be returning at the end of June 2022

First trip back since Hurricane Ida. Since my last visit, they have added a lot of tentrr sites in the tent section and 2 or 3 around the lake. The paddle trail is open, and while paddling, I saw a family of otters. There’s only around 2 hiking trails open, one around the lake and a portion of the long trail, which goes to the river, in and out. Spoke with a ranger who stated they think most of the trails will be open in 8 months.
