Farr Park Equestrian Center & RV Campground
Overview
Farr Park Equestrian Center & RV Campground offers a unique blend of outdoor recreation and city convenience. Managed by BREC, this expansive facility spans over 200 acres of lush greenery and open pastures. While it primarily serves as a premier horse facility, the integrated RV campground provides a spacious and tranquil environment for travelers looking to explore the capital of Louisiana. The atmosphere is peaceful, offering a refreshing urban escape that feels worlds away from the busy city center.
Location & Surroundings
Situated on River Road, the park sits directly across from the Mississippi River levee. The location feels rural and open, yet it remains just a few miles south of Louisiana State University. This prime positioning allows guests to enjoy the natural scenery of the river while staying close to the vibrant energy of downtown. The surrounding area is characterized by majestic oak trees and the scenic vistas of the levee, providing beautiful sunsets for evening strollers.

- Clean restroom facilities and hot showers
- A central on-site dump station

The sites are mostly level and offer a mix of pull-through and back-in options. The equestrian focus of the park means there is plenty of room to roam, providing a much more open feel than typical urban RV parks.

Campground is at the equestrian center. Water and electric hookups, no sewer, but has a dump station. Has bathhouse with toilets and showers…but they open at 8am and close…they said 7pm but it was 5:36pm today and sometime before 6pm yesterday…so 🤷🏼♂️ shower before 5 I guess. Showers aren’t clean and I only used it because our 5th wheel grey will fill fast with showers. The spaces are grass, and maybe a little tight. The ground is soft and you may sink if there is rain. The campground roads are nice enough and most sites are pull through. Getting here is a little sketchy and RVLife had us doing some crazy routes, but it’s an old city with lots of crappy roads and low trees, so take it slow on the way here.

Farr Park RV Campground is just south of Baton Rouge and is very nice and quiet. Has electric and water and a dump station.
Tom Curtin
Really sweet little campground. It’s adjacent to the equestrian center. Folks are friendly, sites are more than acceptable and they have all the services a class a RV needs in a pull through site.

I was charged for a night say and the electricity was was never unlocked back in September. I have called numerous times for a refund. Its been 2 months and still haven't received it.

Very quiet rv park it's located next to the Mississippi River levee and you can bike down the levee 4 miles to downtown Baton Rouge , it's also located 2 miles from LSU campus and tiger stadium. Power and water hook up ( no sewer hookup ) there is a dump station .
Randy Greenberg
This is basically a open field with electric/water hookups; nothing fancy. I enjoyed the convenient location to LSU, downtown Baton Rouge and the levee. I could see this place turning into a mudfest with a significant rain, but the roads were easy to navigate, and the spots well marked. The bathrooms were tired and kind of dirty. The place is easy to find and the staff is super friendly with great local recommendations. I would definitely stay here again for a night or two

Great location for cycling the levee, close to downtown, and Tiger Stadium. Campground is clean, basic, and quiet. Located next to field of horses. Includes 30A, 50a, and water. No sewer connection, no bathrooms or shower house. Rode our bike downtown about 5 miles easy on the levee.

Stayed a week. Large areas to park. Beautiful scenery. Wake up to watching horses playing in the field. Bathrooms were up at the front, so had to drive to the bath house n bathrooms. They were clean and spacious. Only issue we had is the whole week we were there, garbage was not collected. Each site has individual garbage cans. Most of everyone's was full the whole time, worried about animals. I do recommend this place for location, and having a spacious area to set up outside. No picnic table at our site, but there were some at other spots. Faculty was curious and kind. Very close to JSU.

Awesome place to come to. Wish we could have spent a few days

For a municipal equestrian center I was pretty impressed. To be fair they were doing some indoor construction so we were outside with basic sitting area. People were nice. Stables looked well cared for and constructed. Looks like it'll be pretty mice when construction of indoor arena is complete.
