It's only a 15 minute drive from New Orleans, yet it feels like you're in the middle of nowhere. It often gets overshadowed by nearby Barataria Preserve, an enchanting labrynth of nature trails through the swamps. Both are great options for nature lovers, but you can't spend the night at Barararia Preserve.
Many year ago, there were cabins Bayou Segnette State Park, but they were damaged during Hurricane Katrina and it took some time to rebuild them.

Which state parks should I visit in Louisiana?

Louisiana has 21 state parks, and each one is worthy of a visit. One of the largest and most popular parks in Louisiana is Chicot State Park. Not only does this park offer an extensive 20+ mile hiking trail, but Chicot Lake is a prime spot for fishing in the area. The park is also home to the Louisiana State Arboretum, which is filled with even more nature trails and beautiful scenery.

Are there any good swimming holes in Louisiana?

One unspoken rule in Louisiana is that you shouldn’t just go around swimming in random bodies of water, you never know what’s also living in there. Every major body of water in Louisiana has alligators, so keep that in mind when picking natural waterways to swim in. State Parks like Lake Claiborne, Cypremort Point, and Jimmie Davis State Park all feature roped-off areas to swim in, keeping you safe from animals and boats passing by.

Can I camp right on the water in Louisiana?

For one of the most incredible camping experiences you can have in Louisiana, head down to Holly Beach in Cameron, Louisiana. Not only can you pitch a tent and camp right on the beach, but you can also drive your car on the beach, saving you all of the stress of carrying your gear through the parking lot. It’s also a great spot for finding seashells that have washed ashore.
