Louisiana Campgrounds

The 2,700-acre, man-made lake that is the centerpiece for Poverty Point Reservoir State Park offers visitors an outlet for a variety of water sports and a scenic backdrop for waterfowl migration each spring and fall.
The fish and wildlife species inhabiting or migrating through the reservoir are numerous. Anglers can fish the lake year-round for largemouth bass, black crappie, bluegill and channel catfish. The region falls within the Mississippi Flyway for many winged species. Depending on the season, visitors will see cormorants, ducks, geese and pelicans.
Overnight guests can choose from two-bedroom waterfront cabins, spacious lodges with loft bedrooms, or RV camping. A water playground in the campground area provides a place for our younger visitors to beat the heat.
A nature trail winds along an off-shoot of Bayou Macon. Special attention should be given to any Louisiana black bear sightings on or near the reservoir. The eastern edge of the park, along Bayou Macon, contains attractive bear habitat and visitors are cautioned to keep all exterior cabin areas and day-use areas cleared of accessible food products and refuse. Bear-proof containers are provided for waste disposal throughout the park.

Jul 15 , 2019"Another Awesome State Park!"
Camped with my family at Poverty Point State park for the first time for about a weeks time. This park was clean, with well kept sites. There is a playground/splash pad that was a big hit with my little ones. There are also several walking trails throughout the park. The bath house was clean and spacious. There was a very large boat landing just down from the RV park. There?s also a beach that?s located on PP Reservoir but it?s not inside inside the campground. It?s several miles up the road. I also recommend making the short drive to tour the Indian mounds that make up Poverty Point.
