Overall it was a very clean & well kept park with reasonable rates and friendky attendants, but if coming here to recreate, keep in mind it's still in recovery and won't offer much shade in the summer anywhere. The only problem that irritated me here is that there were a few visitors who let their dogs run loose during our stay, which really peeved me off because we have a dog that can become very defense to hyperactive dogs that run up to her and get into her personal space. People have to understand that just because **your** dog is friendly & social to other dogs doesn't mean that every dog they run up to (while they're loose & out of control) that us on a leash by their owner's side will be friendly back to them if they're quickly running up into their space or on their property/territory!! Please just be courteous about your public park dog handling!
Anyway, this park definitely an awesome stop any time of year for RVers who are passing through, as it's very close to I-10 and close to a grocery store, gas stations, and a great shrimp boil (& I guess crawfish during season??) drive-up shack along the way. The Rouse's supermarket you pass by also a full-service market that has a wonderful collection of cajun and creole spices (T-Roy's is my all-time fave), as well as other LA culinary delights, so it's definitely worth the stop to home chefs! The local folks are also very friendly & welcoming. We will definitely be stopping overnight at this park again during out travels. Thank you to the Louisiana State Parks Department for rebuilding it!
