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.

Amazing spot

I can’t recommend Hart’s Corner enough. Had a perfect spot on a peninsula. Beautiful views. Hart made sure we were well taken care of once we set up. Good fishing, especially if you can bring a small kayak and get out to the tree line.

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!

We stayed on the peninsula and it was an amazing spot with direct access to the lake. Views were great, the spot had privacy and the host Hart was readily available for anything we might have needed. Not hard to get to at all, I would recommend this spot to anyone wanting to explore Caddo lake. Thank you again Hart for sharing your property with us!

Hart was an amazing host. Super communicative, friendly and helpful. His place sits right on the edge of the lake in a rural neighborhood off a dirt road. The large lot boasts mature Hackberry trees and Cypress which gives off the perfect amount of shade. There's a good spot for dropping in your kayak and great spots to adventure to right on the other side of the lake. The town of Vivian is about 5-10min away which is perfect for grabbing ice and groceries. Also, conveniently located from the Bayou, which I highly recommend for additional kayaking. Thank you, Hart!

This was a great campsite. Completely off the grid like I like it but right on the water. We stayed for over a week with no issues. I can't wait to see the upgrades and improvements that the owner has planned. I'll be there again soon.

We boon-docked on Hart’s land. It was only an hour from Shreveport and easy to find. We brought our pedal kayaks and were able to paddle in between all the beautiful cypress trees. Enjoyed all the wildlife, including a mating Osprey couple building their nest out on the lake, as well. If you book, be sure to ask for the peninsula!

Beautiful tent camping by the lake! Great views. Welcome to oil city, everywhere you look is a drilling machine, but they provide a great background noise and are interesting to look at. Area is semi-secluded - no other campers. No amenties at location, at least at this time, so be prepared.
