Jellystone Park™ Lake Charles

184 RV Sites, 14 Cabins

Jellystone Park Lake Charles in Louisiana offers 184 full-hookup RV sites and 14 cabins with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted up to 98 feet. Premium pull-through, standard pull-through, and back-in categories join a water park, splash pad, mini-golf, boat docks, and jumping pillow in Calcasieu Parish. One hundred eighty-four sites run in back-in, pull-thru, and premium pull-thru categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 98 feet, with picnic tables. Ninety-eight feet is exceptional capacity and accommodates the longest coaches with a tow — rare at a family camp-resort. Fourteen cabins round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. A water park and splash pad anchor the summer, with an outdoor pool alongside. A lake and boat docks support boating and fishing, with mini-golf, a jumping pillow, gem mining, golf cart rentals, hiking, a pond, playground, pavilion, and picnicking filling the grounds. Live music runs through the season. Pets are welcome. Lake Charles sits on the Gulf Coast between New Orleans and Houston, where bayou country, casino culture, and the Sabine Pass industrial corridor produce a southwest Louisiana character distinct from the rest of the state's tourism geography. Contraband Days, the Creole Nature Trail, and the region's Cajun and Creole food scene are all close. Summer is the season for a family water resort, with mild winters drawing snowbirds crossing the I-10 corridor. Reserve well ahead for June through August and for festival weekends.

Nineteen RV sites at a lakeside retreat means summer weekends go early.

Lake Charles RV Resort in Iowa, LA, offers 107 full-hookup RV sites and 4 tent sites, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 82 feet.

Every space rental includes four people, with additional guests charged separately. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, propane fills, a dump station, on-site dining, a clubhouse, and personal mailboxes cover the practical side. Pets are welcome, with a dog park.

The park is rated big rig friendly, with laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, and a dump station. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. The forest setting is the amenity, with a state park nearby and boating, a lake, a river, and golf all within reach. Leesville sits in Louisiana's Piney Woods in the state's west-central region — tall longleaf and loblolly pine, red dirt roads, and a character entirely different from the bayou country most people picture. Kisatchie National Forest, Toledo Bend Reservoir, Hodges Gardens State Park, and the Fort Johnson Military Museum are all close. Rates and availability are on the booking page. Ask about extended-stay rates if you're posted in the area.

Roundbunch Bayou RV Resort

101 RV Sites

Roundbunch Bayou RV Resort in Bridge City, Texas, offers 101 full-hookup back-in RV sites in the Golden Triangle, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted up to 124 feet. Premium Plus, premium, and standard categories join a pond, general store, community fire pit, and dog park. One hundred one back-in sites run in standard, premium, and Premium Plus categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 124 feet. One hundred twenty-four feet is exceptional capacity and accommodates anything on the road with room to spare — a real advantage in a region that draws large rigs on long work stays. A general store, laundry, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. Stop by the management office for the monthly newsletter; the resort runs two-hour fishing tournaments and wind-down Wednesdays for guests. A pond supports fishing and swimming, with canoeing, kayaking, and boating on the surrounding water. A community fire pit, playground, and dog park fill the grounds. Pets are welcome. Orange County sits in southeast Texas where the Sabine River delta, Sabine Lake, and the saltwater fishing of the Texas-Louisiana border zone create an outdoor environment defined by tidal marsh and productive waterway. Bridge City is minutes from Orange and Port Arthur, with Beaumont a short drive west and Lake Charles east across the state line. Demand runs year-round on Golden Triangle industrial and work traffic, with the mild winter drawing snowbirds along I-10. Spring and fall bring the most comfortable conditions. Reserve ahead, and ask about monthly rates.

Lighthouse Bend

36 RV Sites

Lighthouse Bend in Cameron, Louisiana, offers 36 full-hookup RV sites on the Calcasieu Lake and Gulf shore, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 40 feet, open all year. Back-in and pull-through categories join a marina, boat ramp, water park, EV charging, on-site dining, and a bar. Thirty-six sites run in back-in and pull-through categories, both carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 40 feet. Note the 40-foot cap before booking a larger rig. A general store, dump station, restrooms, showers, and EV charging handle the practical side — charging is still uncommon at RV parks and worth knowing about if you tow with an electric vehicle. One scheduling note: if you are coming for the Cameron Fishing Festival in early August, arrive by Thursday afternoon, as no RVs are admitted after that. A 14-slide water park is the standout amenity, with a marina and boat ramp opening the water for boating and fishing, plus a pavilion, playground, on-site dining, and a bar. Pets are welcome. Cameron Parish is the southwestern corner of Louisiana where Calcasieu Lake meets the Gulf — genuinely remote marsh and coastal country, with some of the best redfish and speckled trout fishing in the state, the Creole Nature Trail's byway running through, and Sabine National Wildlife Refuge nearby for exceptional birding. Fishing season and the August festival drive demand. Reserve well ahead for festival week and the fall run.

from $25/night

Holly Beach RV Park

17 RV Sites

Holly Beach RV Park in Cameron, Louisiana, offers 17 full-hookup back-in RV sites 600 feet from the Gulf, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet. Premium and standard back-in categories join direct beach access on Louisiana's Cajun Riviera. Seventeen back-in sites run in standard and premium categories, both carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp, sized to 45 feet, with picnic tables. Two tiers keep booking simple, and every site sits within a short walk of the water. The amenity set is deliberately minimal — there is no pool, no clubhouse, and no programming, which keeps rates low and suits guests who came for the beach and the fishing rather than for a resort. The Gulf is the recreation, with swimming and boating from the property. Pets are welcome. Six hundred feet from the water is the entire proposition, and on this stretch of coast it is a genuinely rare position. Cameron Parish is remote and ecologically extraordinary — saltwater marsh, barrier beach, and the Creole Nature Trail's All-American Road running through some of the best birding country in North America. The spring migration fallouts here, when exhausted songbirds drop into the coastal chenier woods after crossing the Gulf, draw serious birders from around the world. Holly Beach is known locally as the Cajun Riviera, and the redfish and speckled trout fishing along the beach and in the surrounding marsh is excellent. Spring migration and summer beach season drive the heaviest demand, with fall fishing strong. Reserve ahead for warm-weather weekends and the April migration window.

Myers Landing

48 RV Sites, 5 Cabins

Myers Landing in Lake Arthur, LA, offers 48 full-hookup RV sites and 4 cabins, with 30 and 50-amp service and space for rigs up to 55 feet. Sites come as back-ins and pull-ins, all carrying water, sewer, and electric. The property is rated big rig friendly and includes a dump station, laundry, bathhouse with showers, and a general store for the supplies you forgot. Cabins give non-RV travelers and overflow guests a place to land. Pets are welcome. What sets the place apart is the water access: a boat ramp, a fishing pier, and frontage on both a lake and the river, with the property built around the fishing and hunting traffic of southwest Louisiana. There's also mini-golf, a playground, a pavilion, walking trails, and on-site dining, and propane fills are available without leaving the grounds. Guests come for the boating, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, birding, and stargazing. Lake Arthur sits in the coastal prairie of Jefferson Davis Parish, along the Mermentau River — a working landing that has served outdoor travelers since 1983. Rates for sites and cabins and current availability are on the booking page. Reserve ahead during fishing and waterfowl seasons, when the ramp stays busy.

Shady Lake RV Park

46 RV Sites, 2 Apartments

Shady Lake RV Park in Leesville, LA, offers 46 full-hookup RV sites and 2 apartments, with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 75 feet. Sites are organized into a useful range of categories — standard back-ins, premium back-ins, premium back-ins with a shed, premium back-ins with a swing, premium covered back-ins, and pull-thrus — all carrying water, sewer, and electric. The covered and shed sites are the ones that make a difference during a Louisiana summer. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, and boat storage are on the property, and the two apartments give long-term guests or visiting family a place to stay. Pets are welcome. The park is anchored by a stocked fishing lake, where bass, crappie, and catfish are the draw and a line in the water is the main event. Golf is nearby. Leesville sits in Vernon Parish in west-central Louisiana, in the Kisatchie forest country near the Texas border. Rates for sites and apartments and current availability are on the booking page. The premium covered and shed sites are limited, so ask about them when you call or book.

from $21/night

Blessing Trails RV Park

30 RV Sites

Blessing Trails RV Park in Broaddus, Texas, offers 30 pull-through RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 60 feet, steps from Sam Rayburn Reservoir. A single 30/50-amp pull-through category means no backing at any site, with on-site fishing guides in the Sabine County piney woods. Thirty sites are pull-through throughout, carrying sewer and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 60 feet. Confirm water service with the park when you book. One consistent category and an all-pull-through layout means no backing after a driving day and no guessing about what you reserved. One thing worth asking about: the park advertises that it pays for the electricity, which on a long stay in a Texas summer is a meaningful difference. On-site fishing guides are the standout amenity and tell you exactly who this park serves. Fishing, boating, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and hiking all run from the property or the lake. Pets are welcome. Sam Rayburn is the largest lake entirely within Texas — 114,000 acres of East Texas water with a bass, crappie, and catfish reputation that draws tournament anglers from across the South. A public boat ramp is six miles away and free; the private ramp at Powell Park is seven miles and charges $6 to launch. The Angelina National Forest surrounds much of the shoreline. Bass season and the fall run drive the heaviest demand, with summer bringing lake traffic. Reserve well ahead for tournament weekends, and ask about the current fall rates.

Wildwood Resort

Toledo Bend Reservoir straddles the Louisiana-Texas border for 185,000 acres of water that consistently ranks among the top bass fisheries in the United States, producing largemouth bass of a size and frequency that keeps professional anglers and recreational fishers returning season after season. Wildwood Resort occupies 40 acres of waterfront on the Louisiana side, offering lodging from full-hookup RV sites to cabins and multi-room lodges positioned to take full advantage of the reservoir's remarkable fishery and the dramatic piney-woods setting of Sabine County. The resort accommodates guests in two main configurations: 16 full-hookup RV sites with 30- and 50-amp electric service on back-in, 40-foot-friendly pads with security lighting, and 31 cabins and lodges ranging from intimate two-person retreats to large group units sleeping up to 24. The lodge options run from simple cabin accommodations to resort-style suites with full kitchens, making Wildwood a practical destination for fishing groups of any size. Three swimming pools serve guests during the warmer months, and a gift and tackle shop on the property handles last-minute gear and bait without requiring a drive to town. The fishing infrastructure at Wildwood is among the property's strongest attributes. A 300-foot fishing pier, lighted for night fishing and partially covered, extends from the shoreline into Toledo Bend's productive near-shore waters — an excellent option for guests who want consistent access without launching a boat. A private boat launch gives those with their own craft direct reservoir access, while three separate stocked ponds on the property provide catch-and-release fishing that doesn't require a Louisiana fishing license. Paddle boards, kayaks, and paddle bikes are available to all resort guests at no additional charge, making casual water exploration accessible regardless of whether guests brought a boat. Toledo Bend Family Adventure Park, directly across the road from the resort, adds a land-based entertainment component to the trip that extends the property's appeal well beyond fishing. The park includes water attractions, zip lines, and family activities that serve as natural afternoon programming after a morning on the water. Zwolle, the nearest town, is best known for the Tamale Fiesta, an annual October celebration of the area's Spanish and Adaes Indian heritage that has grown into one of the most distinctive local festivals in Louisiana, with tamale preparation competitions, music, and cultural programming. Bald eagles work the reservoir's edge in winter months, and the surrounding Sabine River country offers additional wildlife viewing throughout the year. Toledo Bend's bass fishing season never truly closes, but peak periods run February through May for pre-spawn and spawn activity and October through November in the fall feeding period. Summer fishing is productive in the early morning hours before heat sets in, and the resort's pools provide afternoon relief during the hottest weeks of July and August. The Tamale Fiesta weekend in October fills area lodging well in advance — book early if that event is on the itinerary. Winter is the season for bald eagle watching and quieter reservoir conditions, with cabin rates at their most accessible and fewer boats competing for the best water.

Rio RV Park

40 RV Sites

Rio RV Park in Wallisville, TX, offers 40 full-hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 65 feet. The categories are named for the water: premium concrete back-ins, premium bayou pull-throughs, premium bayou large back-ins with a pet area, and premium bayou-view sites. All carry water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table, and ADA-accessible sites are available. The park is gated, with laundry, a bathhouse with showers, propane fills, a dump station, and RV storage. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. A lazy river and boat docks are the standout amenities, with a playground and fishing, boating, and picnicking on the bayou. Golf and a state park are nearby. Wallisville sits in the Gulf Coast interior where the Trinity River fans out toward Trinity Bay — egrets and roseate spoonbills working the shallow marsh at dawn, and exceptional fishing without the beach-town crowds. Rates by site category are on the booking page. Bayou-front sites are the ones worth requesting and they go first.
