We stay at Tickfaw twice a year and love it. The park hosts and staff are wonderful. The facilities are well taken care of and it’s 99,9 percent peaceful. Dogs are welcome and rules apply. Restrooms and laundry are very well kept.

Our church utilizes the group cabin each year for our men's retreat. The group cabin is perfect for group retreats! We also love walking the boardwalk and the pond.

Love this park. It is definitely a hidden gem of Springfield and more people need to go venture through. The boardwalk at the back of the park is elevated above the swamp/bayou and has a suspension bridge across the Tickfaw River. Two small kids and my wife were able to hike around without problems or complaints. Highly recommend to visit.

1st time here. Very nice state park. The staff are extremely friendly. Rv spots paved and pretty much level. Nice hiking trails. The bathrooms are very clean and air-conditioned. Will definitely be back

Great LA state park! Plenty of options for overnighting: tent sites, tent and cabin rentals, and RV sites. Fun amenities canoe & kayak rentals, pavilion for gatherings with a splash pad, nature center with trails. Lots of nature - don't feed the gators! The comfort center is ACed with showers and bathrooms. There is even a coin operated laundry with basic vending. If you have time, definitely do a day trip or spend a few nights.

First thing is to make sure you take the road through Springfield and Blood River Road. If Google routes you on something to the west of that it is a one and a half lane road with flooded ditches on either side. Second big thing is the campground is closed as of 5/11/2025. Probably because of flooding . A lot of driving for nothing. The cabins look lovely.

Excellent clean campground. Good spacing between camp areas. We brought the grandchildren there for a couple days and they enjoyed the playground, the swamp walk and alligators! Would definitely go back but weekends stay full so weekdays or plan in advance.

$3 per person as of February 2024 gets you in the park. Everything seems to be well maintained. I had come specifically to see the nature center, which was a lovely building with lots of things to look at inside. Some of the trails are closed, but that could be due to the weather the day I came.

Very beautiful area. Unfortunately a large percentage of the trails have been closed since hurricane Ida. Lots of restrooms and parking. We really enjoyed visiting the nature center. If you plan on visiting, check the hours before going. The nature center is only open on certain days of the week.

Stayed here in March 2022 for a wedding in Springfield. Really nice and quiet. Hurricane Ida damage is still evident but overall we had a great time and as always met some great fellow campers / new friends. Will definitely be going back.

Very peaceful and quiet campground. Lost a lot of trees from hurricane and many sites are in full sun, but 27 & 29 are still nice and shady. Off the beaten path, but a great place to relax and read a book. They have a small lending library in the laundry room. If you are a book lover, please leave more than you take.

Love the park, but be aware that all the trails are closed. The trail closures aren't apparent from the state park website nor the park's facebook page, so just call ahead if you're planning to hike.

Pretty little underutilized park. It's had storm damage but looks like they are repairing it nicely. The camping spots were very large.

Very cool adventure to go on,got to see a few alligators and a huge crane looking bird. Rent a canoe and get ready to experience the swamp in Louisiana. Loved it‼️
