Bogue Chitto State Park
RV Guide

If you want full hookups including sewer, the park boasts 46 premium campsites right in the middle of the park. Reservations can be made from one day to 13 months in advance but be sure to check the length limits to make sure you get what you need. Each site has different length limits for motorhomes from 50 to 92 feet long. You can bring your furbaby with you as well because pets are welcome. Just remember to keep them restrained at all times.

All sites have picnic tables for eight, a campfire ring, and a pedestal BBQ grill to cook on. These gravel sites are mostly level and well-maintained with plenty of shade as well as plenty of room for play. You will be near the park office, a comfort station with restrooms and showers, and the boardwalk as well as the five-mile Gorge Run multi-use trail where you can enjoy hiking or biking.

These 35 premium campsites with water and 50-amp electric can accommodate rigs from 50 to 92 feet long. Make sure you check the length limit when reserving your site, which can be done up to 13 months in advance. Each of these waterfront sites is so close to the water that you can fish from your campsite. You are also within walking distance to the Bogue Chitto River where you can do some tubing, kayaking, or canoeing.

You will have the choice of cooking indoors or you can cook outside on the pedestal BBQ pit or campfire grill provided by the park. Of course, you can also use your own grill or camp stove. Each site also has a big picnic table that seats eight. No need to try balancing your plate on your lap in a camp or lawn chair. There are two comfort stations that have restrooms and showers within a short walk of all the campsites. Dogs are welcome as long as you keep them on a leash at all times.

If you are a horse lover, feel free to bring your horse because this park has 100 equestrian campsites at their campground in the northern section of the park. Each site can handle RVs and trailers up to 55 feet long and have horse tie-ups, a large picnic table that seats eight, a campfire circle, and a BBQ grill to cook on. There is also a common area and water trough in the middle of the campground as well as a boardwalk just a short distance away near the park office.

The 14-mile bridle trail starts right at the campground for you to enjoy with your four-legged friends, and that includes your pooch as long as he is on a leash at all times. You must have a certificate for a clean Coggins test for your horse and there is a small fee to use the trail, which helps with trail maintenance. You can set your reservations online from one day to 13 months in advance.

The park offers four cozy cabins overlooking the bluffs in the northwestern corner of the park. Each cabin can accommodate up to eight guests with bunk beds, a sofa sleeper, and one queen-sized bed. Central air keeps the whole cabin cool during the hot Louisiana summers, and they have heat as well just in case it gets chilly. There is a living room with a couch, lounge chairs, flat-screen television with cable, and a fireplace.

The kitchen is fully furnished with all appliances that include a dishwasher and a washer/dryer combo. The dining table seats up to eight people, and there is even a screened porch with seating where you can enjoy the peace and quiet without bug bites. The full bathroom has basic needs like toilet paper and towels. Reservations are needed and can be made 13 months in advance. Pets are not allowed in any of the cabins.

If your group is too large for a cabin, try the Upland Lodge, which is right next to the other cabins on the bluff. This modern home can accommodate up to 14 people with four bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms have two sets of bunk beds each and two have queen beds. There is also a sofa sleeper in the living room. Also in the living room, you can find a flatscreen television with cable, lounge chairs, and a cozy fireplace.

With a full kitchen that has all electric appliances, you can cook indoors in the air conditioning or outside on the grill. There is a screened porch where you can look over the bluff without being bothered by the bugs. But don’t get too comfortable, you’ll want to get out there and enjoy some of the park’s resources like the river, trails, and playgrounds for the kids. Reservations are required and can be made up to 13 months in advance.

If you have a group larger than 14 people, the Group Camp Lodge at Bogue Chitto State Park is perfect for you. In the southernmost section of the park, this huge building has enough room for up to 52 people. There are two dormitories with bunks and bathrooms. Linens and bedding are provided. The common area and dining room seat all 52 guests at one time with 10 tables so everyone can eat meals together.

The commercial-sized kitchen has two stoves, microwaves, and ovens as well as a huge island for food prep, so it is easy to cook for the whole group at once. Outside you can find a volleyball court and horseshoe games as well as an 18-hole disc golf course. Just a short walk from Bogue Chitto River, your group can enjoy fishing, boating, and swimming right outside the lodge. Reservations can be made one day to 13 months in advance. Sorry, no pets allowed.
