This is literally one of the most incredible campgrounds we’ve ever stayed at. My son and I were on a road trip and Alyssa and Ocean‘s property is truly magnificent. It feels like Home, the animals are all so sweet, and the energy on that land is amazing. We had such a great time, we stopped there on the way home as well, and will be back for sure. My son got to play with their kids, and has lifelong memories now. Thank you so much to Alyssa and Ocean for creating this space. Don’t miss this campground if you’re in the area.

This was our very first HipCamp stay, and we’re so glad we chose Ocean’s property! We came in with our pop-up trailer and Jeep and had no trouble getting set up. Ocean was a wonderful host… kind, welcoming, and clearly puts a lot of care into the land and the animals. If you’re expecting total quiet, just know this place is full of life and we mean that in the best way! There were ponies, turkeys, peacocks, helpful and friendly dogs, chickens, roosters, and even emus wandering the property. It made the experience feel like something out of a storybook. We loved the freedom to explore, the thoughtful touches around the campsite, and the opportunity to unplug while still feeling safe and taken care of. It’s a perfect spot for animal lovers or families wanting something unique and memorable. We’ll definitely be back! - Brian and Sara

Ocean went well beyond his duties as a host to help us out when we got lost and stuck in the mud after an unusually heavy rain storm over a mile away from their home. I cannot thank him enough as we were in the dark 4 states away from home just me and my 3 young children. The kindness shown to a stranger is unmatched! We were so grateful. Beyond that, the property was beautiful and fun to explore. The free-roaming animals were very friendly and added a unique charm to this hipcamp I have yet to find elsewhere. The bathroom was clean and there was a community kitchen available with a sink, microwave, and toaster oven. Due to our adventures getting stuck in the mud, we were able to do laundry for super cheap ($4 to wash and dry a load) just 2 miles away from the sanctuary. Their children were VERY sweet and my kids enjoyed playing with them. I would Highly recommend the Snow White Sanctuary to anyone who loves animals!

Hike a few trails, like the Old Stagecoach Road which runs along the Calcasieu River. Or, get out on the water via one of the many nearby waterways. Take a scenic drive or simply chill out under the cool, shady trees at your campsite. While this park is near the city of Lake Charles, these green 1,087 acres will feel like a massive backyard sure to bring out your inner explorer.

When to go

The best time to visit Sam Houston Jones State Park is during the spring and fall when the weather is mild and the natural scenery is at its peak. Summer months can be quite warm, making early morning or late afternoon the ideal times for outdoor activities. Winters are generally mild, but check for any seasonal closures before planning your trip.

Know before you go

  • Check the weather forecast and dress appropriately for the season, as Louisiana's climate can vary.
  • Be aware of the local wildlife and follow park guidelines to ensure a safe encounter.
  • Some areas of the park may be inaccessible due to seasonal flooding, so verify open trails and facilities before your visit.
  • Bring insect repellent and sunscreen to protect against the elements during your exploration.
  • Remember to carry out all trash and leave the park as pristine as you found it for future visitors.

This was the only Louisiana State Park that I would NOT recommend as it was filthy and super buggy. But, we saw ANOTHER ARMADILLO!
