All You Need is a 111 acre paradise that is home to some VERY unique and endangered habitat.

The sandhills are home to prickly pear cactus, deer moss (7 kinds of lichen), and our mascot, the endangered Gopher Tortoise.

You will have access to and be a 5 minute walk from our many walking paths and our swimming pond, as well as a 15 minute walk to Desoto National Forest, which butts up to our property line.

Opal Springs Nature Haven

5 sites · Tents33 acres · Bogalusa, LA
The property is an old homestead recently reclaimed and being brought back to life after many years abandoned. Early 1800s Bulgarian immigrants started a little community here called Stein. The old railroad used to pass through and there are alot of artifacts scattered throughout the property. We are in the process of cleaning up the old cabin built in late 1800s suprisingly still standing. The hardwood forest has a creek running through that is virtually untouched and home to wildlife of all kinds. Birds and wildlife of all kinds have a home here and no hunting allowed. Some trails have been cut and there are some natural trails for exploring the property through the hardwoods and campers are welcome to make new ones. A spring fed pond is great for fishing or just relaxing under the majestic live oaks. If Mushroom foraging is your thing you are in luck after a nice rain. This place had the best of southeast Louisiana and truly is a hidden gem. We are still in the clearing process so there are alot of projects going on but we definitely have some cool spots to pitch a tent. Host is on property in shipping container and willing to make accommodations as needed as we have electricity but are pretty much off the grid.. do not have an outdoor bathroom but could set something up with little effort. Have running water for solar shower or creek bath if you'd rather. Since we are still rebuilding there are some piles of lumber and things that may be unsafe for small children and animals. I have 2 dogs on the property with me but are fenced and friendly. If you have any questions just ask!

Camping near Tylertown guide

Overview

Nestled near the border of Mississippi and Louisiana, Tylertown’s three square miles provide a pathway to Mississippi’s vast forests, diverse ecosystems, and pristine lakes (plus larger metro areas such as Baton Rouge, New Orleans, and Jackson). Head into the wilderness of nearby De Soto National Forest, the most diverse ecoregion on the Gulf Coast, or Homochitto National Forest and its lakes. Campgrounds in both forests are open for tents and RVs. Farther north, adventure through Bienville National Forest and pitch a tent at a lakeside campsite.

Where to go

De Soto National Forest

De Soto National Forest features a varied ecosystem of cypress swamps, savanna, hardwood forest, and dry ridges. Campers enjoy canoeing or floating down Black Creek, the only national scenic river in Mississippi. After a creekside adventure, try biking, hunting, angling, canoeing, and ATV riding. Managed campgrounds in De Soto include Big Biloxi Recreation Area, P.O.W. Lake Recreation Area, and several campgrounds along Black Creek. Open year-round, Big Biloxi’s 25 campsites are outfitted with utility hookups as well as convenient dump stations and showers nearby.

Homochitto National Forest

About 70 miles west from Tylertown, Homochitto National Forest spans seven counties and over 191,000 acres of rugged terrain for horseback riding, hiking, hunting, and camping. Campers can swim and fish in Okhissa Lake before stopping by Clear Springs Recreation Area’s picnic grounds, man-made lake, hiking trails, and campgrounds—which are the only managed campgrounds in Homochitto. Clear Springs offers sites for tents and RVs, as well as group camping sites, with accessible bathhouses, flush toilets, electric and water hookups, and a sanitary dump station.

Bienville National Forest

Two hours north of Tylertown is Bienville National Forest, a vast wilderness of pine and oak trees that stretches over 175,000 acres. Marathon Lake and Shongelo Lake offer fishing and other water activities, as well as hiking and horseback riding opportunities. Campers can stay at Marathon Recreation Area, which features 34 campsites equipped with water and electric hookups, two bathhouses with hot showers, a boat ramp, and a dumping station.

When to go

Tylertown offers year-round activities for all visitors. Campers can enjoy warm, rain-free weather from around March to October. Summer hits an average high of about 91°F, which is a perfect time for campers to cool off in Mississippi lakes. The off-season still sees plenty of activity among campers who enjoy hunting and wildlife. Tylertown and the nearby area rarely see snow in winter. January is the coldest month with an average high of 61°F and an average low of about 41°F.
