Punkin Park Campground

Interstate traffic provides a constant soundtrack at this private campground positioned directly off the highway in Hammond. The proximity to I-55 makes for easy access but ensures road noise remains audible throughout the day and night.

Sites cluster in two main areas with notably different spacing. The back loop surrounds a fishing pond and offers more room between RVs, while spots near the office and pool area sit closer together. Kerrie M. warns that "when it rains it is very muddy, with ankle deep water," indicating drainage challenges during wet weather. The campground accommodates RVs up to 55 feet with full hookups and maintains a no-tent policy except for organized scout groups.

A swimming pool provides relief during Louisiana's hot months, though access requires a daily fee per person. The back pond allows fishing for an additional charge, and laundry facilities operate in the front section. Reviews indicate a mix of overnight travelers and longer-term residents, with the interstate location particularly suited to those needing convenient highway access rather than a quiet retreat.

Campers seeking more secluded options can explore campgrounds around Springfield for alternatives away from major traffic corridors.

Many visitors reported significant issues with site conditions including debris and mud problems. Management harassment and constant interstate noise were frequently mentioned concerns, making this less suitable for family camping.

Worst Campground ever

The owners allow nails and other hazards for your tires everywhere. Most of the people in there are addicts and honestly you will have people coming to your door in the middle of the night looking to score some illegal substances

Nasty place

There are derelict travel trailers laying around. It smells of sewer. When it rains it is very muddy, with ankle deep water. One of the managers drives around on a golf cart, harassing the tenets. Knocking on doors in the middle of the night. There is a dirty old man, who lives there, he preys on women. The managers outside dog has heartworm, keep your pet safe. You have to pay $10 per person a day to use the pool. They charge $10 per person per day to fish in the lake, no fish.

Would not stay here again.

There are derelict travel trailers laying around. Very muddy, when it rains, with ankle deep water. There is burn pile with trash in it. There is a dog roaming around with heartworm, watch your animals please. When the manager's rides around all hours of the day-and-night on a golf cart harassing people knocking on their doors he doesn't seem to care whos Door he knocks on, in the middle of the night. There is a very tall old man, who hits on women. The police were there several times A-day. I think their drugs being sold in the back part of it. This so called the melodies of the pool is a joke.. You have to pay $10 A-day per person to swim in it even though you live there.

Loud

Small camping. It is right next to the interstate and a get off ramp. Constant sounds of traffic. This is a perfect camp site for migrant workers that travel. No for family

Just enough to be comfortable

This campground has a great location. Just off of the Interstate. Easy to locate. The staff seem not impressed with anyone or anything. They are just sorta there. Friendly enough, I just feel like they didn't want to be there. They do not allow tents but will make exceptions for scout group camping. The pool is heaven on a hot day. The grounds are kept very clean and there is an even mix of drop ins and long term campers. They offer a great pond in the back loop with a huge shaded open area. The sites in the loops are very close together, while the sites next to the "office/pool area" seem to have more space. There is an area that stores unused RV's but it seems to be kept clean and out of the way. There are restrooms and showers in the back loop with laundry room in the front loop.

This makes it readily accessible for travelers, though the proximity to the highway means there is constant traffic noise. The campground features a pond area where some sites are situated.

Punkin Park Campground does accommodate RVs and appears primarily set up for travel trailers rather than tent camping. In fact, tents are generally not allowed, though exceptions may be made for scout groups.
