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. Whether you're ready to paddle winding waterways, pedal forest trails, or simply unwind at your riverside site, you'll find pull-through and RV-ready spots plus a full menu of outdoor adventures—from disc golf to horseback riding—waiting just beyond your tent flap.
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.

Spring and fall bring the park's sweet spot—comfortable temperatures perfect for exploring miles of trails, launching your kayak, or saddling up for a forest ride without the intensity of summer heat. When summer arrives, the river becomes the star attraction, offering cool relief and prime conditions for paddling, swimming, and lazy afternoons spent fishing from shaded banks.
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.
