We asked for a pull-through since we were only going to be here one night. The site we were assigned was a very tight turn for a long rig, but we made it. Sites are widely spaced, many with wooden decks. The lake was totally drained while we were here. They are trying to control an invasive plant, but the park was clean and quiet. Hosts were friendly and helpful. We would definitely return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This was the first time we stayed at this LA State Park and we enjoyed our stay. We traveled daily to Shreveport to join other family/friends for a reunion. The drive each day was pleasant. We spent most of our time away from the park (four days,) but the time we did spend at our site and walking around the area was nice. The bath house was clean, but we have experienced better in other State Parks. We would stay here again and recommend you checking it out. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We had a back in site right on the lake with great views, a nice deck, fire ring, and dock. This is a nice shady clean State Park with a great staff. The pool you have to drive to but no big deal. It is a little run off Highway 10 but worth it. We will be back and stay longer next time. Bathrooms could use a remodel, but they where clean. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Beautiful setting, beautiful trees, beautiful lake. Park is well maintained and clean. Stayed three enjoyable days. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Beautiful park very well maintained and kept-up. The positioning and spacing of the campsites were done quite well. We loved the 40 by 20 wooden patios that almost all the campsites have. Wonderful hiking, biking, and horse trails. The staff was excellent, very friendly and helpful but not intrusive. Happy to recommend Lake Bistineau State Park, this is one of those that is towards the top of any list. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
75 ft wide, asphalt sites, newer asphalt roads, fire ring and fire pit, nice laundry. 75% of sites have new, womanized wood decks. Several handicap access sites. They have canoe, row boat and bike rentals. There are several fishing docks close to campsites and a boat launch area. Also, horse trails, group camp, nature center and pavilion for rent. Maintenance seems to be good. Gate is locked at night. Nearest grocery store is 17 miles away. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Roads and sites are very tight for big rigs. Our 38' barely fit. All sites are now being upgraded to 50 amps - that's a plus. But the hook ups are all on the patio side, so you need long hoses for water and a long electric cord. They are improving, but they have work to do. The dump station overflowed when I was trying to dump my black tank - not a pleasant experience. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Park is beautiful, but campground not well maintained. Sites well separated but due to parking of vehicles and boat trailers between sites, it was very crowded. Although signs posted no parking off asphault, vehicles were everywhere. Campground looked like a Wal Mart parking lot. The pull thru sites were closer to an U turn that a parking site. Very difficult to get into and out. Many pets allowed to roam without leashes. Campground staff not very active or helpful. Probably will not return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Wonderful State Park. The setting, especially to us Northwesterners is almost primordial: Spanish Moss hanging from the trees, dense green foliage, and the sounds coming from the birds and other critters are wonderful. Park has 67 paved and level sites with water and electric hook-ups; a dump station is available. Most sites are back in, but there are a few pull throughs that could accommodate 40'+ rigs. Amenities include a playground, swim pool, laundry facilities, an abundance of hiking trails and fishing/boating, including boat rentals. We camped here in a camper.
