About Bogue Chitto Campground

Nestled along the scenic Bogue Chitto River within a 1,786-acre state park, this Louisiana gem invites you to camp beneath towering pines and ancient hardwoods where wetlands meet woodland.

The park provides a mix of camping options, including full-hookup RV sites (many pull-through and some 50A sites), tent sites, cabins, and a group camp option.

Natural Features and SceneryStep into a living tapestry where Louisiana's ecosystems converge: sun-dappled pine groves give way to cathedral-like bottomland hardwoods, while mysterious cypress-tupelo swamps whisper along the edges of clear fishing ponds. Wind through rolling terrain on foot or bike and you'll discover sandy riverbanks, bubbling streams, and weathered sandstone spires rising unexpectedly from the forest floor. Elevated boardwalks carry you over wetlands where herons hunt and turtles sun themselves, offering front-row seats to nature's quiet theater in this diverse wetland-and-woodland sanctuary.

Geological RegionGulf Coastal Plain (Pearl River basin)

Scenic ViewsScenic views include pine and hardwood forest interiors, swamp wetlands, river and stream corridors, ponds, and rolling river-country terrain; boardwalks and riverside areas are notable local vantage points.
