We have loved camping in our camper! We have have enjoyed many adventures, learned a lot and spent quality time together as a family. Our memories our priceless and we cannot wait to create new memories in new places. Below are reviews for some of the campgrounds we have stayed at in Louisiana.
Please note: We have a 2015 Salem Cruise Lite that is 26 feet long/31.5 with tongue. This post will continue to be updated as we visit additional Louisiana campgrounds.
Lake Bruin State Park near St. Joseph, Louisiana
This is one of my favorite campgrounds we have stayed at. Our campsite was right on the water – the lake was literally less than 10 feet from our camper. It was relaxing to listen to the water lapping the shore.
There is a fishing dock, a water playground, a playground, boat docks and boat rentals. We enjoyed fishing, riding our bikes, taking walks and relaxing. The sunsets were amazing to watch as it reflected off the lake between cypress trees.
When did we visit: August 2015
Would we visit again: yes
Campsite #6: back-in, great location, con: water sitting between campsites
Cell phone service (Sprint): yes
WIFI: yes

Sweetwater Campground and Riding Stables near Amite, Louisiana
We received a coupon to camp here for two nights for free when we purchased our camper. The campground also features trail rides and pony rides (additional charge), which we were all excited to try. The trail ride was fun, the scenery pretty (through a wooded area) and the employees were kind. The campground has a playground, a pool, planned activities and a fishing pond.
When did we visit: November 2015
Would we visit again: maybe
Campsite #47 : pull through, close to playground and short walk to the trading post/barn, con: very noisy on Saturday night due to karaoke which went into their ‘quiet hours’ time
Cell phone service (Sprint): yes
WIFI: yes

Lake Fausse Pointe State Park in New Iberia Parish, Louisiana
There are three hiking trails, a 7 mile canoe trail, a water playground, two playgrounds, boat docks and boat rentals. We enjoyed hiking and relaxing. We cannot wait to visit again with a campsite on the water (they each have their own fishing dock) and to rent a flat bottom boat to explore the waterways.
When did we visit: February 2016
Would we visit again: yes
Campsite #17 : back-in with parking spots across from site; con: electrical and water hookups on the opposite side of spot (right side), busy state park with many visiting to fish
Cell phone service (Sprint): yes
WIFI: yes, spotty
