You better be part goat to visit this park. It is a pretty park but the sites are small and not very level. Take plenty of boards with you when you visit this one. A heart monitor may be advised if you plan on walking around the park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a beautiful park, We stayed for three nights and loved it. We had our two grandchildren with us and they were able to go swimming in the lake, fish from the bank and catch fish. My only complaint would be that the sites can be small. We have a 33' 5th wheel and I had to park my truck at an angle to keep it from sticking out in the road. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Beautiful park, sites are small for big motorhomes, no sewer or the grade would be higher. I definitely would stay here again. Lots of sites with water view. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a very typical state park; large shaded sites with water and electric. There is some confusion between the Reserve America site and their description - Premium campsites appear to only be the pull thru sites, but actually also includes several sites with views of the lake. We camped here in a Motorhome.
First and only 10 rating I've given to any park. Lake Claiborne State Park is absolutely beautiful. The camp sites are spacious and extremely well kept. The hiking and bike trails are great. We fished right from our site on the water. I was very surprised to find this park almost empty, maybe 8-10 campers the weekend we were there. This park has become our favorite. We live in Louisiana and have been to most state parks, they are all very good but Lake Claiborne is a top-notch park on anyone's list. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Newer state park sited on Lake Clairbourne. Sites aren't terribly roomy but still well separated Could be a fisher persons paradise -- lake is loaded with stripers. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is by far the most beautiful Louisiana State park that we have been to. They have nice hiking trails and the park was very well maintained. I saw four deer during my early morning run. The only down side to the park is that it is not closer to where we live. We stayed for a week during the New Years holidays. Reserve a lake site if possible. It was so nice waking up to that view. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
One of the most plesuable Campgrounds I've camped at. It is very quiet, clean, and safe. The best sites are by the lake's edge, and you'll need to get a reservation months in advance in order to get one. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Extremely well kept campground. Nice, sandy swimming beach with lots of benches and picnic tables. We were not on the water but had a beautiful, shady site. I noticed some fairly large rigs on pull through sites, but the pad was shared with another rig pointing the other way. Every site is shady and few are stacked on top of each other. I am from Louisiana and was completely impressed with the cleanliness and upkeap of the park. Park ranger was seen patrolling all areas several times throughout the day AND night and gate is locked at 9:00 PM (they do give you the combo to get out!) We will definitely return in the fall. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Stayed in camping area 1 and was very pleased. Camping area 2 has no sites on water. Sites in area 2 looked narrow and many appeared difficult to back into without assistance. Some sites not very level. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Best camphost I have ever encountered. Dump station in area 1 difficult to use thus we used dump in area 2. Will definitely return to this park. Fills up on weekends so reservation required. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
