The best campgrounds near Henderson, Louisiana with swimming

In Henderson, Louisiana, you’ll find over 330 places to park your RV and dive into swimming spots, with sites starting at $40 a night and an average stay around $45. The terrain here is made for water lovers—expect shady bayous, slow-moving creeks, and plenty of open sky. Most campgrounds offer showers, allow pets, and let you build a campfire. Swimming’s the headline, but you’ll also see people hiking trails or saddling up for horseback rides. For a spot that’s earned nods from other travellers, check out Renee's Galaxy RV Campground (4 reviews), or pull in at Island Side Barbershop and RV Site (2 reviews). You’ll find places right on the water, tucked behind cypress trees, or just off the highway—ideal for cooling off after a long drive.

The Galaxy is a small campground with 8 large spots. It's located outside of Washington, Louisiana where there are no city lights and lots of stars and things in the sky. There is 50-amp electricity with full hook-ups at each site. I have a laundry service and a small dog park. Short term and long term are welcomed. The sunrises and sunsets are exceptional here. I have a picnic table and fire pit available for your use. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Weekend Trip to Renee's Galaxy RV Campground

Renee is a super host! Southern hospitality at its finest! Thoroughly enjoyed meeting her and staying at her property! She let me borrow an adapter and a tarp for my RV. Very quiet and bucolic few acres. I needed propane refill and Renee set me up with a local friend to get some after 2 tries at Uhaul where no one was available to pump. She invited me out for a beer and for a dip in her pool. Would definitely return! Would love to get to know her better!❤️

Nice safe place for our family to stay! No problems getting in or out. Big field for our kids to run around and get some energy out after being in the car all day.
