Gavel Falls Cabin Rentals and RV Campground

RV owners with large rigs will find full hookups for units up to 75 feet at Gavel Falls Cabin Rentals and RV Campground, now operating as a KOA franchise. The campground sits split across a highway in Shreveport, with newly paved concrete pads and roads providing level parking surfaces.

Recent construction added amenities like picnic tables, fire pits, and grills to the front section's concrete sites, though these areas offer no shade during Louisiana's intense summer heat. The property includes log cabins, covered RV spaces, and a private pond on-site. Access requires navigating a single-track road that may require vehicles to pull into grass areas when meeting oncoming traffic.

The pool facility operates with specific requirements, including mandatory pre-swim showers, though no shower facilities exist at the pool location itself. Hot tub access requires advance coordination and propane fees through the office. Den O. notes the location sits "behind an auction yard" with "fair gravel roads" connecting the various sections.

Long-term residents occupy many sites, creating more of a residential feel than a traditional overnight camping atmosphere. For travelers seeking additional overnight options, Country Haven RV Park provides another choice nearby.

Campers regularly cited quality concrete pads and new amenities like grills and fire pits. Some operational challenges with facilities and concerning management feedback were noted by visitors.

Not really a recreational KOA

This campground is now a KOA. It appears to have more long term campers living here than anything else. The campgrounds offered are split across a highway. The pool is only on one section. It is required to shower before using the pool but there is no shower or bathroom at the pool. The lodge is reserved for other paying patrons. You have to wear a pink paper bracelet to prove you are allowed access. If you want to use the hot tub you must contact the office and pay for the propane. The park does have nice paved parking pads and a newly paved road. Roads are narrow though. The entry to the park did confuse us a little. It’s a bit of a walk to the pool or office. I guess it worked for just staying the night.

Under New Ownership as a KOA

This new KOA is ok for an overnight stop while passing through. They recently completed construction on new concrete pads at the front of the property with a swing, picnic tables and fire pit at each site. Absolutely zero shade which was terrible during this heat wave with 105 degree days.

As a recently acquired KOA the pool was actually attached to the owners old home (he moved down the property to a new home) and the house is now rentable for larger groups. There are a handful of cabins in the back past the store. The campsite has a bizarre single track road in and out that requires one party to pull off into grass to allow another to pass.

If you're looking for all the standard KOA amenities, including jumping pillow or other trademarked amenity, this will do for a night or two.

Unsafe to Women

The management is incredibly rude and sexist. Promotes good old boy type of atmosphere and encourages inappropriate behavior. Unfriendly, uncooperative and will call you tasteless improper names when confronted.

New and clean

Kind of an odd location— behind an auction yard. Nice concrete slabs for RVs. Fair gravel roads, 3 very nice log cabins, at least 2 covered RV spaces. BBQ grills and fire pits are brand new. Private pond on site. Because it is relatively new they have a few bugs to work out but I would stay there again.
