Camping has countless benefits that you may not be aware of. Not only does it reduce stress, but spending time outdoors strengthens your connection with nature, and the change of scenery could inspire you to take on new challenges! Not to mention the relationship building with your camping buddies, spending time around a campfire, eating s’mores, and telling ghost stories. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a first-time camper, a night at one of the most majestic campgrounds in Louisiana is sure to satisfy your nature fix.
Clocking in at an impressive 6,400 acres, Chicot State Park is the largest state park in Louisiana.
There’s so much to explore here, you’d practically need a full week to see it all. But even if you just have a night or two, you’ll get to experience this stunning park.
Nestled around Lake Chicot, this state park attracts visitors looking to catch their record-breaking freshwater catches of bass, crappie, bluegill, and red-ear sunfish.
There are plenty of camping opportunities. If you're not excited about the thought of a primitive tent, consider their "glamping" style accommodations.
These cabins are built right over the water, and the views from your living room are mesmerizing! You can even dock your boat or canoe right at your cabin, making outdoor adventure all too easy!
There's an extensive hiking trail that will take you all around the lake.
The paddle trail clocks in at about eight miles, but you'll want to veer off to explore all of the little fjord-like coves. Trust us -- explore these coves! Still waters, beautiful scenery, and the chance to observe wildlife (even gators) in their natural habitat is one of those memories that lasts a lifetime.
