    Campsites near Natchitoches, LA (seeking recommendations)

    Hey friends, I am planning a trip to see my Granny in Natchitoches, LA this summer and don't have a place to stay. I was hoping to camp but the only sites I can find online are R.V. Parks or are too far out. If any has experience in that area and has suggestions, it would be appreciated.
    Thanks a million!

    That area is in my bucket list. Here's a laugh for you. I am bilingual , so when I first saw this name I said it phonetically as we do in Spanish: Nah-chi-toh-chess - much to the amusement of others.
    I soon learned to say nah-ka-tish

    The Kisatchie National Forest is too far out? Looks like some prime hanging!

    A few miles west there is a town in Texas called Nacogdoches, pronounced just like it sounds: Nacko-doatches.



    I was born in Lufkin, just a few miles away. My dad was a forest ranger in the Angelina National Forest.

    That is in a southern section of the system, an hour south of Natchitoches. Almost run like a state park, with the lake as the focal point.
    The area's adjacent to Natchitoches, are much more primitive. And free.

    Thanks to all for these hits. Now I have some real options to consider! I'm pretty excited about this trip. Too bad it's still about 2 months away...
