Evangeline Camp

About this site

EVANGELINE CAMP (Campground) Additional Info: Evangeline Camp is a primitive dispersed camping area located in the Evangeline Unit of the Calcasieu Ranger District within Kisatchie National Forest, situated 4 miles south of Louisiana Highway 28 on Forest Road 273 (Messina Road). The site features approximately 15 dispersed camping flats positioned just down the hill past a vault restroom facility. Open year-round on a first-come, first-served basis with no fees required. Potable water is not available on-site; campers must bring their own water supply. The gravel access road in the final half-mile is best suited for smaller vehicles and tent campers rather than large RVs. The location serves as a trailhead for the Wild Azalea National Recreation Trail, making it an ideal basecamp for hikers, mountain bikers, and road cyclists. Contact: 318-793-9427.
