Set up camp and soak up the beauty of Louisiana’s lakes.
The Pelican State is famed as the home of the mighty Mississippi River, as well as the bayous formed from the river's outlets and inlets. Its lakes, however, are just as spectacular and are home to a wide array of both RV and tent campgrounds. Explore Louisiana at ground level by kayaking and paddleboarding under canopies of cypress trees in Lake Fausse Pointe State Park, or cast a line in the cool, clear waters of Chicot State Park, then take a stroll along nature trails through a beech-magnolia forest. You can spot some 400 species of bird and sun yourself on the sandy shore of Lake Pontchartrain in Fontainebleau State Park, or marvel at the moss-draped cypress trees and wild beauty of Caddo Lake on the Texas border.
