About this site

Overview This location is available on a first-come, first-served basis only. Visitors are required to physically arrive at the campground to purchase and claim a site. Once on-site, you may be able to pay for your campsite(s) by scanning a QR code using the Recreation.gov mobile app, and the Scan and Pay feature. If this option is available, you will need to first download the free Recreation.gov mobile app https://www.recreation.gov/mobile-app prior to your arrival as some remote areas have limited or no cellular service. Additional Info: Kisatchie Bayou Campground offers a primitive walk-in camping atmosphere with 17 walk-in sites and 1 drive-in site at the middle parking area. Each site is equipped with tent pads, barbeque pits, lantern posts, and fire rings. The campground is located within Kisatchie National Forest and features scenic views of the rocky bayou surrounded by old growth hardwood and pine forest. Vault restroom facilities and trash receptacles are available, but no water is available on-site—visitors must bring their own water. Dogs must be leashed. The day-use area includes access steps to the bayou for canoe launching. Fishing is popular in the area. Open 24 hours/day. Fee: $2 per site/night.
