A great escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, in fact everyday life in general. It is about a 2 to 2.5 hour drive straight through from the Texas-Louisiana line in Shreveport. However, I would advise anyone having the time, to take it and explore the wonderful cities and towns of Louisiana that are located on the I-20 corridor from Texas to Mississippi. They are treasure chests of the best in Louisiana history, culture, food, music, and shopping...from beautiful antiques and jewelry to interesting flea market finds. Universities and colleges. Museums and libraries. Theatres. And some very pretty natural spaces. It's been awhile since I sat and gazed at the peaceful and serene surroundings of Poverty Point. But I remember feeling a closeness to all things that really matter. Breathe in deeply. And I do believe you, too, can feel the same.

Was out for a friendly gathering with friends from near and far. The views were amazing and the weather was perfect for catching a lil breeze just off the water yet shaded by a few trees. It was my 1st time and I thoroughly enjoyed it. My grandson enjoyed it as well....lol. Gnawing on his first chicken bone and taking in all the sites.

We found this campground as an overnight stop while traveling back from Florida to Texas. What a beautiful hidden gem on a large reservoir lake. It is about 3 miles off I-20 and very easy to get to. All the roads and sites are paved and the sites well set apart. We have a 40 ft Super C towing a Jeep Gladiator and the large pull through site gave us plenty of room without having to unhook the toad. The park is big- rig friendly, quiet, safe, shaded, well maintained and beautiful. With our senior discount is was only $22 for the night with 50;amp power and water. The back-in sites have sewer but we did not that. We travel this route regularly so this will now be a regular stop over for us. We hope to stay longer on the next trip to explore this beautiful area more on our bikes.

The campground is small and not much shade. I was upset to see how far the beach is compared to the campground. You have to get back on the main highway to access it 😭 The splash pad is cute, but probably for younger children (it's the actual playground that's the splash pad). Bathrooms and showers were amazingly clean! And air-conditioning! If you can make due with no sewer hookup, that area has more shade! Our picnic table was taken over by wasps. I killed 11 and they were still coming out!

Just passing thru. Wish we had more time but will have to come back qnd go to the mounds. I gave a four star only because I had a issue getting in my spot. I have a big rig and my spot has two trees planted close to the front plus they put the spot numbers on a wooded pole at the front making it hard to back in. I hit one of the poles with my truck getting in. Plus i think the spots need to be angled more to make it easier backing in. But other than that the park is very clean, i was very impressed with the cabins(driving by). Walking trails are nice. It was quite at night.
