95 acres on the beautiful Topisaw Creek. Here we've raised 5 kids and a multitude of dogs, cats and chickens and a small herd of pineywoods cattle. The woods are quiet and undisturbed , harboring native species like jack in the pulpit, trillium and Florida anise. The spring-fed (and thus always refreshing!) Topisaw Creek forms the eastern border of our property, so plan to spend time on the sandy beaches and rock bars soaking up the sun or hunting for rocks and fossils (petrified wood and arrowheads have been found here). Many folks also enjoy a leisurely float down the creek in inner tubes ('tubing') or in a kayak. (Please note that after heavy rains the creek rises to epic heights and is too dangerous to navigate.) Little to no light pollution makes for amazing stargazing!

Site #1 was the perfect camping spot for my partner and our dogs. It was very peaceful and quiet. Easy walk from where you park to where you camp. The trails were well maintained. At night, the sound of frogs was easy to sleep to. Highly recommend. Will go back.

We stayed at camp site 8 which had the woods behind us and an open field in front. Even though we were not tucked in the woods, the spot still offered constant shade for our tent and plenty of shade around the rest of the area. Perfect spot for our trip with 2 young kids and 2 dogs. The creek was pretty cool, kids definelty could spend all day there but id highly recommend to wear water shoes in the water and on the sand/rocks.

This was our second time camping here, and we will absolutely be back. It’s a fantastic spot for tent camping! It’s safe, quiet, dog-friendly (leashes required but they had plenty of space to roam around on the extended leashes we brought) and very secluded. The trails and pond were a great bonus, and despite knowing others were on the property, we never saw anyone else during our stay. Jordan, the host, was very attentive and quick to help troubleshoot any issues. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful, well-maintained camping experience.

Overview
About
Curling its way through rocky bluffs, hardwood forests, and cypress-tupelo swamps, the Bogue Chitto River is one of Louisiana's most scenic rivers, and it runs right through the heart of Bogue Chitto State Park. Rent a kayak to paddle the river, float downstream in a tube, or follow the many hiking trails and boardwalks through the rolling landscapes of the Uplands and Fricke's Cave. The state park also has dedicated equestrian trails for horseback riding, some challenging mountain biking trails, and 11 freshwater fishing lakes. Campers have plenty of options, too—Bogue Chitto Campground has more than 80 pull-through campsites split between the Upland and Bottomland RV camping areas, all with water and electric hookups, plus 16 glamping tents.
Tips for snagging a campsite
- You can reserve campsites, cabins, and glamping sites online via the Louisiana State Parks website.
- Online reservations can be made up to 13 months in advance and must be made 48 hours prior to arrival.
- Campsites can book up as fast, especially for summer and holiday weekends, so book at least six months in advance.
When to go
While summer brings the crowds to Bogue Chitto State Park to cool off at the lakes and rivers, the cooler weather of spring and fall is ideal for hiking, biking, and paddling. Wildflowers dust the trails from late spring through summer, adding a pop of color to the woodlands. The park and campgrounds stay open year-round, and trails remain accessible through winter.
Know before you go
- Bogue Chitto State Park sits just south of Franklinton, or a 10-minute drive away. It's about a 64-mile, 80-minute drive from New Orleans along Louisiana State Highway 25.
- A per-person entrance fee is charged for Louisiana State Parks, and campsite booking fees also apply. Children and seniors are free. A Louisiana fishing license is also required if you want to fish.
- Snakes and alligators may be found along the Bogue Chitto River, so exercise caution and don't swim in the river.
- Facilities at Bogue Chitto include restrooms, picnic areas, and a dump station. There's also a water playground, a disc golf course, and seasonal canoe rentals.
- There are accessible restrooms, picnic areas, and campsites at Bogue Chitto State Park.
