I obviously take advantage of living in the country and enjoying the peace and quiet of everyday living that it provides! So many people enjoy coming out here and just unplugging and unwinding. I know my property won't disappoint if you decide to stay in the fully equipped cabin. The ponds are fully stocked with bass, bream and catfish, so fun to catch and you can even keep your catch and cook them over your own campfire. The canopy of stars and chirping frogs will lull you to sleep in the privacy of this secluded campsite.

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!!

Very nice place. Read his instructions, I thought I did, but not good enough. But if I can figure it out anyone can. I had no connection to the outside world. It was amazing. You can use satellites if you really have to.

We loved the that it was spacious both inside and outside! The firepit was a big plus for us we loved sitting outside and visiting around it. The owners had many games you can play plus canoes with the life jackets and ores. Jacksons Ranch Marina is only about 5 miles away and they offer boat tours along with fishing guides. It’s a beautiful area I encourage ya’ll to go and have a sleepover with your friends and family

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!

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!

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.

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!

We all love the peace and tranquility this beautiful Land offers. Come and enjoy what we love so much. Relax at the pond while fishing, or sit back and watch the wildlife. Have a chat with the Farmer who has his kettle there. Meet Jill and Jack the Donkeys that life there, you will hear them if you don't see them right away. It is a place to unwind and relax. There are two places you can park your self contained Camper. Right next to the green house or across the road down at the pasture. There is a little Deck with a Table. Whatever you decide, please leave nothing behind, collect your trash, pick up after your dog. The next guest wants to enjoy the place as well.
