Louisiana – home of the well-known Mardi Gras, Ellen DeGeneres, and probably the best Creole food in the United States. So, what exactly is there to do in Louisiana? We’ll cover a few of our favorite campgrounds here in Louisiana.

Remember, though, as campgrounds begin to reopen around the U.S., it’s important to know the new rules and guidelines each area has in place. It’s a good idea to check out their website or call to make sure you’re prepared.

Cajun Palms RV Resort

As a full-service resort, this is definitely one of the best places to try out in Louisiana. It’s in Henderson, Louisiana, which is just a few miles from I-10. This is the ideal spot as it’s close to the highway but far enough to escape the hustle and bustle. It also combines those classic camping amenities we all love with quite a few high-tech features.

In addition to the high-tech comforts of home, Cajun Palms has 300 deluxe RV spots with full hookups to water, sewer, and electricity. If you don’t have an RV but are still itching to check this place out, they offer 65 cabins with 20 of them along with the waterfront view ponds.

Poverty Point Reservoir State Park

For something a little less extravagant, Poverty Point offers a 2,700-acre lake right at the center. This allows for endless hours of swimming, fishing, boating, or taking the jet skis out for the day.

You can rent all the equipment you need here, like flat-bottom boats or canoes. There’s also a short half-mile walking trail and well over 50 camping sites with electric and water hookups. If you want to experience Poverty Point with a rig or tents, they have lodges and deluxe cabins available.

Tickfaw State Park

Tickfaw State Park

With only about 30 camping sites, Tickfaw State Park is one of the smallest parks on this list but definitely one of the best. What makes it unique is its four ecosystems. While here, you’ll get to experience the Tickfaw River, a swamp, a mixed forest and bottomland hardwood forests.

It’s a pretty lowkey place, but you won’t get a mix of ecosystems like it has anywhere else. There are a water playground and a gift shop for the kids, and there’s also an 800-gallon aquarium full of fish native to the river.

Lincoln Parish Park

Home to what some say is one of the greatest biking trails in America, Lincoln Parish is one of the best places to check out if you’re a cyclist, or if you simply enjoy being outdoors. Book here, and you’ll have an amazing camping experience unlike any other.

Palmetto Island State Park

Palmetto Island State Park

Whether you choose to stay in one of the park’s cabins, a campsite, or you choose the backcountry, your whole family will enjoy their vacation here at Palmetto Island. The park is really well maintained, and there’s a water playground for the kids.

If you’re a family of boaters, you can enjoy paddling through water-ways with little current, and you’ll be in the shade as the water is tree-lined. You’ll be able to adventure through the ponds and inlets and look for wildlife among the shores and lagoons. You’ll also encounter miles of walking paths through swamps, so don’t forget your camera to capture the beauty.

Gator Grounds RV Resort

Similar to Cajun Palms, Gator Grounds is not rustic camping! There is an endless amount of activities to choose from, so no member of the family will be bored. Pack each day with the fun and exciting events they have, and you’ll be exhausted at day’s end. Two waterparks, a lazy river, a zip line, an arcade – make your reservation at Gator Grounds for a vacation the family will never forget.

If you do want to camp, they have a 118-site campground with full hookups, a picnic table, daily trash pickup, and a fire ring.

Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park

When you decide to stay at this park, you’ll receive up to five day passes for each day you stay there, which includes all amenities and any special events happening during your stay. This park is a bit older and isn’t as nice as the newer resorts, but the tickets you’ll receive are all-inclusive, meaning you can do nearly anything without paying extra. Kids really do love this park, because there’s always something happening.

They have 374 campsites that come with a picnic table, but no fire ring. They also have 85 cabins if that’s more your style.

Regardless of your camping style, Louisiana has a campground for you. There are waterfronts, swamps and all different kinds of RV resorts waiting for you. The state is a one-stop-shop for all your camping needs. Whether you like resort camping, a deluxe cabin, or you prefer the backcountry, there is a campground for you here. Happy camping!
