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.

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!!

Immaculate mowed lawn area perfect for a tent. Bucolic setting on a small farm. No picnic tables but I used my camping table and it was fine. I did see a fire ring. Bugs disappeared after sunset and temps dropped. Refreshing and relaxing overnight stay with wifi and a shower.

I enjoyed my stay at Williams. I had the place to myself for the night. It was very nice to allow my dog to run free off the leash. The summer heat in September was still in the 90s, but the outside shower came in clutch to cool off and refresh. It was the first time my dog saw a horse! I think shes mesmerized. Only downside would be the bugs. Make sure you bring some spray. I didn't realize how bad I got chewed on until a few days later. There is a train that passes by so be aware of that for anyone that's trying to completely get away from city life.

2 nights at Bayou Choo Choo and Bayou Views
Bayou ChooChoo is such a unique stay! It’s in the heart of monroe, but also directly on Bayou Desiard. The dock is perfect for relaxing and fishing. Jen is thoughtful with the special details of the stay, and really makes you feel at home. The caboose is cozy, and has everything you need. I definitely plan to be back.

Weekend Trip to Bayou Choo Choo and Bayou Views
A last minute trip turned into an amazing adventure! Bayou Choo Choo was a wonderful experience. The experience starts when you round the curve and see the red caboose on the banks of the bayou. Climbing aboard transports you back to childhood. The decorations and details will melt your heart and make you chuckle in the same breath. The small space is laid out well and it feels bigger than it really is. Jen has put a lot of thought into the layout uses the small space well. There is a keurig, microwave and a fridge with freezer. The bathroom is small, but I am a big guy and had no issues. The shower feels bigger than it is. Jen was available to help answer questions and even provided some restaurant recommendations.
Although we can to watch baseball, we found our way to the Chennault museums, did some shopping and walked along the bayou. Jen was gracious and kind. We reached out to book a place to stay and feel like we made a friend.

Loved the peaceful and beautiful land we camped on at Jan’s! I was fortunate enough to catch a yoga class which was refreshing and fun. We went to Lincoln preserve to hike but got caught in the pouring rain. I would recommend this camp site.

A nice quiet spot to camp and woods to walk in. I love the fenced area with Adirondack chairs for a camp fire.

Quiet stay. Some hunting noise. Quick access to Ruston. Not ideal toilet used my person in my rig. Water fill up and showers were great.
