Camping near Lake Charles guide

Overview

Known for its casinos and art scene, Lake Charles and its surrounding area offer urban thrills and natural outdoor camping and adventures for the whole family. Northwest of Lake Charles lies Sam Houston Jones State Park, where 1,087 acres of lagoons and forests are home to abundant wildlife. After a day of paddling, fishing, hiking, and biking, stay at nearby tent or RV sites with sewer, water, and electrical hookups. Cabins, lodges, and glamping pavilions in the area provide cookware, linens, and electricity too. Journey north to Angelina National Forest within the Neches River Basin for fishing, skiing, and campfire theater. Camper trailer and RV campsites nearby feature firepits, flush toilets, and dump stations. Cabin rentals and glamping sites here also offer fully furnished living areas and hot tubs. Northeast is Sabine National Forest—it sits along the western slope of Sabine River. Go hiking, biking, and horseback riding, and then reserve cabin or lodge space with full kitchens, walk-out decks, and free wifi.
