Summary

Located within the Kisatchie National Forest, this peaceful, forested area features pit toilets but no potable water, hookups, picnic tables, or fire rings (campfires may be allowed seasonally). RVs can access the site, though amenities are minimal. The camping experience is quiet and rustic, set among tall pines with access to the Claiborne Multi-Use Trails, popular for hiking, horseback riding, and off-roading. Wildflowers and wildlife are abundant. Spring and fall are ideal times to visit for milder weather and fewer bugs.

Camping Essential Practices

Pack It In, Pack It Out
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
