Beautiful State Park on the Tchefuncta River in Louisiana. Walking trails, fishing boat launch area open for day passes or RV sites. Be advised there are only 6 sites available with sewer hook ups although there is a dump station on your way out.

We absolutely love this park. The staff is so friendly and helpful. The river front is so beautiful. We had the luxury to be there in the snow and were blown away

Best park in all of Lousiana. Peaceful, majestic, clean, historical, with gorgeous views and great RV spots. It has a boat ramp that feeds in to the Tchefuncte River as well. The Pavillion near Otis House is perfect for large events or birthdays with plenty of parking, tables, grills, clean bathrooms and surrounded by massive movie-esque oak trees. The staff at the park are obviously very passionate about their jobs. Morgan is the new manager and has the park looking better than ever with tons of plans for the future. The ladies at the front office & the camp host Chris couldn't be more friendly or helpful and seem to know everyone who visits by name. The maintenance guy must never stop working because the park is in immaculate condition every time we visit. Overall this park is one of the best we've stayed at and continues to get better every time we return!

A very nice quiet campground. Nice walking pier, I would say fishing pier but since its not a "no wake zone" everyone flying by sending swells up over the pier and causing a horrible fishing spot. The spot by Otis house is a better option for fishing since it is right at the beginning of a dead slow zone. Cute little board walk through a "swamp" just edge of river that's overgrown. The pond by Otis house is completely overgrown and can't even see the water any more. The absolute worst part is the mosquitoes. They are so relentless even with deep woods spray and a roaring fire they are tearing us up with no relief other than to stay inside. The mosquito truck wouldn't spray by us only away from camps pushing the mosquitoes deeper in the camp spots. And making it just unbearable. This would be a much better winter camp spot. Or bring some type of barrier against the flying demons.

A Quiet Gem on the Tchefuncte River Howdy, GenX Glamping Guy here with a review of the Fairview-Riverside State Park. I kicked off 2025 with a peaceful weekend at Fairview-Riverside State Park and couldn’t have asked for a better quick getaway. My site near the boat launch, tucked along the banks of the Tchefuncte River, was quiet and serene — perfect for relaxing and reconnecting with nature. The sunsets were breathtaking, and the clear January skies offered a magical display of stars at night. Live Oaks draped in moss gave the whole area an almost mystical vibe. One of the highlights was a walk along the park’s boardwalk, floating above a bed of lily pads. I even took time to film a video about instant coffee — because, why not? [Video] Instant Coffee: See on YouTube @GenXGlampingGuy Exploring deeper into the park, I discovered a hidden gem: a mini outdoor theatre set under a massive Oak tree. I couldn’t resist doing a little impromptu Shakespeare performance with no one around.

I captured a timelapse of the sunset over the river, and it did not disappoint. Whether you're into quiet nature walks, riverside views, or just need a spot to reflect and reset, this place is a gem. Highly recommend it, especially if you appreciate the slower, quieter moments. Tim @GenXGlampingGuy on YouTube
