We fell in love with Tickfaw State Park. Almost all of the sites have wooden decks next to the asphalt pads and for us: that's a huge plus! All the sites had fire rings and BBQ pits. Behind our site was a small walking trail into the woods. There's plenty of shade and lots and lots of trees. Our dogs loved the trail around the pond (it's a catch and release pond). The cabins looked brand new from the outside although they are 8 years old. We met one of the cleaning ladies and she showed us one of the cabins. Told us next time we came to ask for her and she would show us around the park and around the town of Springfield. Everyone we encountered that worked here was so nice and professional. We rented a canoe and packed a lunch and went out on the river for hours. Only saw one alligator but got some nice pictures and videos. Plenty trees along the river have fallen since Katrina in 2005 so some areas need caution. Although it was cool, during the summer they have a water area for kids. We saw 8 turkeys along the side of the road and a few armadillos. The restrooms were very clean and fairly new looking and the showers were large. The only downfall to this park are the roads leading into it, although that is no fault of the park, hence the 10 rating. Highway 1037 definitely needs to be repaved. Be careful of the numerous buckles in the road and I'd advise going 5 to 10 mph less than the posted speed limit. By far our favorite state park to date and I've already booked us again next month. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed at Tickfaw for only one stormy, rainy night in March 2008, using it as a stopover between Alabama and Texas. This park is quite beautiful and neatly kept with very large paved sites and excellent restrooms. We had time to check out one nature trail and it was very good. We hope to return to this park in the future. Although our stay was necessarily short, Tickfaw looks like a gem. $16/night fifth wheel We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a great State Park and campground. Blacktop levels pads, very deep and wide, lots of nature, hiking and bike riding trails. Park is immaculate and maintained well. We only camped one night but if we ever get back this way would definitely stay longer. It would be great for kids to experience camping at a park like this. Louisiana should be proud to have a state park like this. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Perfect family camping. Books quickly, so reserve in advance. Most sites have large, well built wooden decks, all have fire rings and tables. Just enough trees to shade and wildlife to make neat woodsie noises. Everyone is friendly and the place is immaculate. Close to Pontchatoula antiquing and loads of neat shopping. Would go there every weekend if I could. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a great campground. Lots of space to ride your bike or walk. There is a lake in which you can fish off the pier. The bath house is always clean and is relatively close to all campsites. The nature center is a cool place for the kids with a lot of activities. Highly recommend, you will not be disappointed. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is the best state park in south LA. The campsites are located within a circle, it's great for the kids who love to bike. Great play areas, nature activities and trails..super We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Wow! I see why everyone raves about this park. It is spaced apart well, and plenty of well maintained trails. It was so relaxing and enjoyable and close to home. A lot of park to ride bikes, and the staff was great. The decks for most of the sites is a wonderful addition. Real clean. I will be back. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

What an excellent, EXCELLENT state park. The people of Louisiana should be proud. The park and amenities were very well maintained. The staff was friendly and helpful. It doesn't have a pool but it does have a "water playground." It also has a very impressive nature center with many interactive presentations and displays. Four raised boardwalks allow you to experience the surrounding habitat without getting your feet wet or stepping on the local fauna. A real gem in the Louisiana State Park system. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Very, very nice park. Campground area is beautifully maintained. Sites are well spaced and the levelest we have yet to encounter. Most sites have large wooden decks adjoining the paved RV site. This park would be a 10+ if it had a lake or swimming pool, but for cool weather camping it is our family's favorite. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Campground is not near a swamp, it is in it. Sites are nicely sized, paved, fairly level and well spaced. Facilities all appear rather new and are well maintained. Staff is friendly, helpful and very attentive. Bugs and other unwelcome swamp critters weren't a problem in February but I wonder about the summer. The only negative I can think of is lack of sewer hook ups. Park was full on weekends so reservations would be a good idea. Nearest town is Springfield. It is literally a one stop light crossroads but there is a grocery store, hardware and a bakery/coffee shop called Navarre's with free wiFi. Within a few more miles are a Camping World and many of the major chain stores and restaurants. Park is convenient to both I-55 and I-12. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We have been to the park numerous times, it is one of the best State Parks in south Louisiana. There is a small motion activated water park for the kids to play in with a playground close by. As some of the other campers pointed out, there is a wooden deck at most sites which is great in less than optimal weather. The nature center is within walking distance of the campground and has planned activities for the kids throughout the day. Make sure to bring bug repellent, as the mosquitos can be fierce during the evening hours. There are only two drawbacks to this campground. There is no playground for the kids within close proximity to the actual campground, you will need to drive to the waterpark area to access the playground. The other is the narrow and rough road you will have to travel to get there. We love this park and come here several times a year. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Summer 2006. We really like this park. This was our second visit. The sites are big and the large wooden decks are great. Mosquitoes are terrible - bring the spray, candles, etc. The park is really big and spread out, so you have to bike or drive to get anywhere (playground, water park, visitor center). From the visitor center, there are very nice wood decks that wind through the swamp giving you a nice walking tour without risk of being eaten by gators or other swamp creatures. There are nicely marked trails - winding around the Tickfaw River - even our 4 year old made it. The kids love riding their bikes around the park (with us of course). The water park is great, because I can sit & read while the kids play without worrying about them drowning. But I would love a pool to cool off in. I did get up a few times to stand under some water contraption to get wet & cool off. We will go back again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a small state park and the layout is great for small children to ride their bikes. The sites are large and have plenty of space between them. All sites are paved and most have large wooden decks (roughly 16' X 24') attached to them. Advance reservations are recommended as this park books up, especially on weekends. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Wonderful place for kids, plenty of activities on weekends. Very clean and peaceful. Park ranger a little uptight about parking on grass, even a blade or two. Small campground but will visit again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This park is excellent for bike riding, nature trails, and an activity center. There were arts and crafts at the nature center among other activities. The kids made bird feeders with pine cones, honey, and bird seed. They were very excited. Tho there is no swimming pool, there is a water park area for kids. The sites are very large, most with wooden decks, concrete to park on, fire ring and picnic table. This is one of our favorites!! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Even though a small campground, the whole park area is quite large with four distinctly
different trails and eco-systems (cypress/tupelo swamp, bottomland hardwood forest, mixed pine/hardwood forest, and the Tickfaw River). Two of the trails are seen from over a mile of boardwalks (over swampland). Miles of great park roadways are great for strolling or biking. Really nice nature center. Guided hikes on the boardwalks by naturalists. Park also has a water playground, group pavillions, picnic shelter, canoe rentals, laundry facility, cabins, and 20 tent sites with water only; no electrical supply. We stayed here the Monday through Wednesday of Thanksgiving week and the campground was full, so reservations are advisable. Great park, beautiful area. Will stay here again!

This is one of the newist State Parks in Louisiana. It is in a swamp and has a small museum specific to the swamp ecosystem in which it lays. There are short boardwalk trails into the swamp and are very nice. It offers an opportunity to venture into a swamp that most of us never get the opportunity to do. There is a lot of road to bicycle or walk. The spaces lack shade for the most part but they are huge and concrete. The space I had was at least 100 feet long. There is also a lot of elbow room between sites. The only drawbacks are access. The nearist store is about 15 miles away in Springfield. The Access road into the part is very narrow ( I would say 1 way) and it is in very poor condition. Louisiana roads are some of the worst I have ever traveled and this acess road is 100 times worse. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
