This is a beautiful new Louisiana State Park campground located on a large man-made lake. The sites are wide, paved and level with convenient hook-ups. ADA sites are available with addition concrete around the pad, fire ring, BBQ grill and picnic table. The lake provides good boating and fishing opportunities. The campground has a water playground, but no pool. There is a marina with beach access a few miles north of the campground at the north landing site. Security is good and all the facilities are kept clean. Since this is a new campground, there is little shade in the area with the sewer connections. However, there is some shade around the sites without sewer. The pull-through sites are long and wide, but also do not have sewer connections. Wi-Fi is available for no additional charge and worked very well. The only thing lacking is cable TV, but severaal broadcast channels are available. Reservations for specific sites are easily made through reserveamerica.com and were quick and accurate. Check-in was easy. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Nearly new and extremely well maintained facilities. For example, my grill and fire ring were actually painted and rust free. Privacy is somewhat lacking but there are lots of newly planted trees so that will improve with time. I thought the w/e sites, not in the main loop, were the nicest if you can do without a sewer hookup. There is a smaller loop, also w/e, with some of the largest pull through sites I've ever seen. WiFi is free and works well. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The previous posts were right, this park is wonderful. If it would have had larger shade trees, I would have rated it a 10. We were looking for an overnite stop between Florida and Arkansas. I had read the posts and decided to take a chance. This is easily the cleanest state park we have stayed in. Bathrooms - wonderful. Playground - wonderful. Sites, most are back ins, but very easy to back in to. Someone with some obvious knowledge of RV's had a hand in designing this campground. One section had available handicap sites that were very large, very wonderful. Unfortunately, we only stayed over night and did not get a chance to check out the reservoir. This is obviously one of Louisiana's best kept secrets. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Nice little park adjacent to the Poverty Point Reservoir. Level sites. Many, many trees have been planted and will take years to provide shade but it will be very nice for future generations. Bath facilities are new and very well maintained, probably the nicest we have seen. Very friendly staff. The 'Park Rules' specifically list that loud music will not be tolerated but didn't seem to be enforced. A group staying there apparently had a bluegrass band complete with PA system. It wasn't a big deal as they shut it down before 8pm but it could be heard throughout the entire park. The prior evening, the folks a few sites down had a boombox blaring. Looked down the way, saw that a park ranger was there visiting and sitting by the fire. A nice place but you may not find peace and quiet. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This park was amazing. It has some of the friendliest personal I have ever met. It is has the cleanest restrooms I have ever seen in a state park. They have the automatic flushing commodes and automatic sinks. Every site has 20, 30, and 50, amp hook ups. The have a marina with everything you may need. They also offer many learning opportunities from a ranger. October 28th they are having a big fall festival and we look forward to attending. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Although Poverty Point Reservoir State Park has been open for some time, the campground just opened on June 1, 2006. A 2,700-acre, man-made lake is the centerpiece for the park. Located about 2 miles north of I-20 (exit 153) on LA 17, the park has very easy access and superior design. The campsites are level, paved, and spaced properly. Although a few sites have some shade, the majority does not. All campsites have water, 50 amp electric, and 37 of the 54 have a sewer connection. Most sites are back-in, but there are a few pull-through. The bathhouse is one of the finest I have seen, and includes coin-operated washers/dryers. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
