Something not right?
Description
iOverlander cannot verify if wild camping is permitted at this location. It is your responsibility to verify local laws or obtain consent before staying the night.
Open field with large shade trees scattered throughout. Perfect for a quick stop. It’s a 6 minute walk to a rest area for bathrooms and vending machines. We arrived in the dark but we’ll try to remember to take pictures in the morning.
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
Latest Check-Ins
This is NOT a free spot. You now need a WMA access permit AND a camping permit which is $7/day for camping. I spoke with the Wildlife officer and he stated there are 3 things needed to stay here overnight. 1 is the WMA Access permit, 2 is the $7/night camping permit and 3 is the self clearing report available at the kiosk as you pull in. without these 3 items you can not stay here. to come for the day you will still need the WMA Access permit and the self clearing report. This took effect approx 1 year ago in 2023 as I did not know about it until I spoke with the ranger today as the camping fee was not in effect last year when I was here.
Report Check-InThis place was beautiful. We stayed one night. got in late but this place is NOT FREE. A ranger came up to us on the day we were about to leave telling us we needed 5 permits in order to stay here. If you don't mind paying those permit fees go ahead and stay.
Report Check-InEasy access by asphalt road, lots of flat open spaces under gorgeous spanish moss covered oaks. The constant highway traffic put me to sleep and the midnight train woke me. Song birds and fishermen to wake up to.
Report Check-InThey do allow dogs on a leash. There are no fee exceptions for seniors according to WMA.
Report Check-InNo longer free to camp. Check the LADWF website for details. https://www.wlf.louisiana.gov/page/wmarefugeconservation-area-licenses-and-permits
Report Check-InAs described in other posts. If you are a Sr Citizen it’s free. Check in with the LDWF WMA app on your phone.
Report Check-InLots of space, only a few other campers here. Opportunity for full sun, or shade from large live oaks. There is a sign expressly prohibiting pets, appears to be new. Not sure the reason as it's right on the edge of a subdivision. There are no fire rings but plenty of evidence of people having fires.
