Kisatchie/Beaver Dam

Kisatchie Beaver Dam is located in Minden, Louisiana. It is a man-made dam that was built in the early 1900s to help control flooding in the area. The dam is made of concrete and is approximately 1,000 feet long and 20 feet high. It is located on the Kisatchie Bayou, a tributary of the Red River. The dam is used to regulate the flow of water in the bayou and to provide a habitat for beavers and other wildlife. The area around the dam is a popular spot for fishing, canoeing, and bird watching. The dam is also a popular spot for photography and sightseeing.

A very nice park but the roads inside the park could use some maintenance. The host, Daniel, is a superb host. A nice guy who keeps the park clean. Daniel has great stories regarding the park since he grew up there. We invited him to our site for dinner and a fire and enjoyed his company.

Nice campground. Some good size lots for big rig. All back in. Backing in some sites a little tight. Site 12 is great for backing in. Good size. Water and electric.Tent sites too. Bathhouse is ok old. Showers need a good cleaning. Directions to campground a little difficult to follow. Very small signs for campground.

Campground is very private. No WiFi there . The shower houses are so run down and the wood on outside is rotten with holes at bottom of the doors. There is no sewer hookup so you have to be careful how much water you put in your holding tanks. The road is very narrow with pieces of it missing . The park could use some upkeep . It’s private and secluded. We took army style showers to not to have to haul off daily. Wasn’t going to use their facilities. Didn’t swim at beach since there is no place to shower off the sand either.

We arrived Monday May 19 to a quiet empty campground with no check in, ranger or host. Our site was completely level. It's huge and flat. There is a nice path down to the lake but it is overgrown. We sat outside with a nice breeze and watched two bass boats on the lake. The bathrooms are old and need to be updated. We only have water and electricity at the campsite but the dump station is available on the way out for the sewer. Feels very remote. It says that Beaver Dam campground is part of the Kisatchie National forest but the headquarters is 2 hours away. We will kayak the Caney Lake today!
