Camping near Natchitoches

·

Established in 1714 between Red River and Sibley Lake, Natchitoches is teeming with old-world charm and campgrounds with water views. Spend a comfy night in cabin rentals with fully-equipped kitchens, queen beds, and modern bathrooms, or head to the local RV park that welcomes tents and motorhomes. Amenities like full hookups, firepits, bathroom blocks, and communal BBQ stations are easy to find here. A short trip over to Kisatchie National Forest brings more campsites for tents, RVs, and equestrians. The Winn Ranger District and Kisatchie Ranger District are only 30 minutes from Natchitoches. Amenities here include flush toilets, drinking water, trash disposals, hitch posts, and corrals. Days can be filled with ATV rides on the Sandstone Multi-Use Trail, where hikers, bikers, and horseback riders can also explore. For more tent and RV-friendly waterfront campgrounds, cross the border into Texas and visit Sabine National Forest, roughly one hour west. Boat in the Toledo Bend Reservoir and head to Red Hills Lake for a sandy swimming beach.

Bayou Bourbeaux

5. Bayou Bourbeaux

8.1mi from Natchitoches · 7 sites · Tents, RVs · Clarence, LA
Located about 15 minutes from downtown Natchitoches on a quiet street that parallels the bayou Bourbeaux. Giant ancient oaks tower over the property. There are old pecan trees and lots and lots of flat green grass. You can put your tent or rv/trailer/camper/car/boat/atv basically anywhere you’d like. There’s a central fire pit in the grassy area and a propane one on the porch. We have hammocks and giant connect 4, jenga, tic tac toe and cornhole. There’s also an unheated seasonal above ground pool you can use with a waiver. Tents: There is no outhouse but for an extra charge we can provide a porta potty and potty tent as well as a water pump for water. Breakfast is included in the price. RVs: we prefer you be self contained but if you need electric you can park on our driveway and use the outlet on the side of the house. We can fill you up with water from the hose if needed. Breakfast is included at the bed and breakfast! Lodging: this is also a full service bed and breakfast. We are the PERFECT spot to host family reunions. Families can camp and use the bed and breakfast for the weekend with plenty of space for everyone! We also host small weddings! It’s quiet. Birds are always chirping. You can watch the beautiful sunrise each morning from the rocking chairs on the old farmhouse porch. Have s’mores and watch the stars at night. Explore Natchitoches and the many nearby lakes during the day. We can also rent you kayaks. If you’d like additional meals beyond breakfast, we can serve you (additional cost). We are also a tea room. If you’d like a traditional English tea under the oaks, let us know!
