The best dog-friendly camping in Louisiana

Name: Louisiana
Address: Louisiana
Rating: 4.5525

It's not a true family vacation if the four-legged family members have to be left behind. Fortunately, Louisiana offers plenty of options for the whole crew, ensuring that your furry friends can enjoy the Pelican State's diverse natural wonders as much as you. Snuggle up together in a cabin rental on the shore of Lake Pontchartrain in Fontainebleau State Park outside New Orleans; sit around the campfire at an RV park; hit the trails together in Tickfaw State Park; or watch your best friend doggy paddle in one of the state's many scenic waterways. But choose your dates wisely: If your pooch is particularly furry, avoid overheating by swapping the steamy Louisiana summers (when temperatures are typically in the low 90s) for the mild temperatures of late fall to early spring.

Oil City, LA · 12 sites

Primitive camping on Caddo Lake is an experience like no other. Spanning 25,400 acres, the naturally formed fresh water lake gracefully crosses from Louisiana into Texas and is home to the largest cypress forest in the world. The area on which this camp is located is rich in history--once the dwelling place of Caddo Indians who were known for their basket weaving and pottery skills. The site was part of the land acquired by the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. Caddo Lake has a unique ecosystem and is a high quality habitat for many species, including migratory and resident waterfowl, osprey, eagles, alligators, and many species of fish. It is considered to be a valuable water system and Texas' only wetland of international importance. Kayaks, canoes, and peddle boats may be launched from the shore. Visitors will want to be familiar with Louisiana State Laws concerning boating and fishing, including those that apply to children. Fires are permitted unless there is a Parish mandated burn ban in effect.

Hello Hipcampers! Welcome to Cajun Country! Click on sites and scroll down to choose our full-service RV hookup space, which may include a buddy site for friends. You may also choose to rent our on-site RV, and we offer a comfortable bedroom with a private bath in our home. Any rental includes one tent site if needed, at no charge. We have options for you. Our location has festivals, Cajun Bands and dancing, Cajun food, walking trails, fishing, boating, kayaking, swamp tours, or tour the process of crawfish from pond to table, bird watching, hunting (including alligator), shopping for vintage, antiques, arts or crafts. WELCOME TO BUTTE LA ROSE, THE HEART OF THE ATCHAFALAYA BASIN AND THE HEART OF ACADIANA: In the early 1930s, when the Army Corps of Engineers carved two long levees right through the Atchafalaya River Basin, what had once been a widely sprawling river system prone to seasonal flooding became a fifteen-mile-wide "spillway" contained between those two earthen walls. The water level in the Basin rose by several feet, permanently flooding many areas, and people who had made their homes there eventually moved to communities on the dry, western side of the levee--Henderson, Catahoula, Bayou Benoit and beyond--leaving no trace of the old settlements behind. Only one community remained. Perched on a ridge along the banks of the Atchafalaya River, Butte La Rose is the only community in St. Martin Parish that is still located between the Basin levees. No other place can claim to be the heart of Atchafalaya as credibly as Butte La Rose can. The community is nestled against one of the more winding meanderings of the Atchafalaya River, and residents remain closely tied to the river and other nearby waterways--fishing, crawfishing, frogging, and hunting, enjoying bayou-side crawfish boils and pleasure boating. So many waterways surround Butte La Rose--Butte La Rose Canal, Henderson Lake, Lake Begneaux, Lake Pelba--it's as close to an island as you can get without actually being an island. We are only 3 miles from Interstate 10, but we are a small remote camping village. Many hummingbirds visit here every year. They arrive in March and leave in Sept.

This cozy fenced-in spot provides a place to plug in your RV and stay in the Big Easy in a safe, tucked away side yard just minutes from the Bywater, Marigny and French Quarter and a few blocks from the Mississippi River. You can drive, bike, or Uber to hundreds of bars and restaurants in less than 15 minutes. Enjoy your morning coffee on the brick patio and feel free to use the fire pit (fall/winter only) and hammock! The description says an acre because it is impossible to put in a smaller number, but the actual parking space is about 25 x 50 ft, with additional hangout space nearby. I am right next door (on the other side of the fence) if you need anything and can help navigate entering and setting up and give you a key to lock the gate with. Warning: If your camper/RV is tall, it is tight getting in because there is a branch near the gate that hangs down to about 10.5 - 11 feet. This is best for small pull behinds and camper vans.

Weekend Trip to Snow White Sanctuary

Our stay was magical! We were greeted by a gentle, giant doggie upon our late night arrival. Then Kate came out to show us around, since it was so dark by the time we arrived. As we walked to our campsite one of the horses came right up to my friend to meet her. We stayed at campsite 3, where we pitched our tent right next to the waters edge. The song of cicadas, crickets, other night singers sent us right into a peaceful slumber. In the morning we were introduced to the farm and all the wonderful animals freely galavanting about. There were lots of adorable piglets, happy chickens, friendly doggies, and several other furry residents that were clearly loved and well cared for. My daughter loved being surrounded by all the heart warming faces, animals and humans alike. We will definitely keep this place on our favorites list!

This place is beautiful. There are animals everywhere. You will be serenaded by piglets snorting, roosters crowing and guinea hens doing whatever it is they do so loudly. It was easy to get in and out of with our small trailer and our kids loved exploring. They have a bathroom and shower available. It was not fancy, but was exactly what we were looking for! We talked to Alyssa and another person who is working there this summer. They were both kind and knowledgeable about the land and animals.

1 night at Snow White Sanctuary

We originally booked two days at the Snow White Sanctuary, but after being evacuated from our last campsite due to a thunderstorm, we changed our booking and arrived a day early. We were hoping to find a dry place to air out our tent and get a good night's sleep, but when we arrived, we realized it had just rained that morning in Vinton as well. The site itself is absolutely beautiful, with friendly farm animals wandering around. Pamala was great—super helpful and friendly—and she showed us every corner of the Sanctuary. However, we were still really concerned about a flood warning message I had just received on my phone, and we didn't want to risk having to evacuate in the middle of the night all over again! Sadly, we decided not to stay overnight, but knowing how wonderful the place is, we will definitely come back in the future when we're more prepared!

We were able to do our washing in the laundry, all very simple. The parking was completely secure. A 10 minute uber into the centre of New Orleans, makes this a perfect RV parking location for visiting New Orleans.

This is a fantastic place to stay if you're visiting Atchafalaya Basins. The house is comfortable and well-equipped, with plenty of thoughtful details that make a real difference. Ginny and her husband were also incredibly helpful and shared some great local recommendations during our stay. And if you're lucky, you may even be welcomed by a few hummingbirds! Highly recommended.
