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.

Weekend Trip to The Yoga Barn Hipcamp

The Yoga Barn is a great camping site! The provided firewood and fire pit were lovely. The composting toilet and heated shower were pleasant surprises, very well-maintained and provisioned. Arrival directions were a bit tricky arriving in the dark but we were able to figure it out.

Nice flat spacious area nestled into the woods.

The yoga barn camping site was perfect for me. I was traveling through, camping in my car with my dog, and we just needed a quiet, grassy, peaceful, dark at night, place to stay where we didn't have to listen to people's TVs or music in their RVs or their generators. I loved it at Jan's place and highly recommend it if you love peace and quiet with your camping!!

Weekend Trip to Hart’s Corner Camping

Everything about this campsite, and our host were awesome! Easy booking, check-in, and access. Hart was communicative, friendly and very welcoming. We arrived around 2:30, drove straight into camp, clearly marked with signs, we took in the awesome view, then got set up for the night. Hart checked in with us soon after we arrived and made sure we were all set, and gave us his personal contact info if we needed anything. Extremely friendly guy. The next day when it came to checking out, we left a bit early but Hart made sure to text us to make sure that everything went okay. The site itself was beautiful with easy access, plenty of wood around for a fire, we fished for a bit in the lake, and then watched the stars before bed. It did get quite chilly but that’s to be expected in January! We will surely be back as this was a perfect camping trip!! Thanks, Hart!
