SUMMARY PRESENTED BY
Kisatchie National Forest's Valentine Lake South Shore sits on the water's edge, with waterfront sites running $10 per night. The US Forest Service campground has no hookups at individual sites, but community water faucets are spread across the area, and a bathhouse with showers is on-site. A dump station is also available. Weekdays tend to stay quiet; weekends and holidays draw more activity. Paddlers will find the lake accessible directly from camp. For campgrounds near Kisatchie National Forest, nearby options include Valentine Lake Northshore Campground across the water. Bring a canoe or kayak, as the lake is a primary draw.
