Hart’s Corner Camping

12 sites · Tents60 acres · Oil City, LA

Primitive camping on Caddo Lake is an experience like no other. Spanning 25,400 acres, the naturally formed fresh water lake gracefully crosses from Louisiana into Texas and is home to the largest cypress forest in the world. The area on which this camp is located is rich in history--once the dwelling place of Caddo Indians who were known for their basket weaving and pottery skills. The site was part of the land acquired by the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. Caddo Lake has a unique ecosystem and is a high quality habitat for many species, including migratory and resident waterfowl, osprey, eagles, alligators, and many species of fish. It is considered to be a valuable water system and Texas' only wetland of international importance. Kayaks, canoes, and peddle boats may be launched from the shore. Visitors will want to be familiar with Louisiana State Laws concerning boating and fishing, including those that apply to children. Fires are permitted unless there is a Parish mandated burn ban in effect.

Lakeside camping in Louisiana guide

Overview

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.
