Such a wonderful place to stay. We had 2 families with kids staying here and everyone has something to do. We brought kayaks and there is a great trail up to Clear Lake. It's dammed up right before the lake but it's a great adventure. Locals have been awesome and highly recommend this spot. Sites 22 and 21 are choice. Would love to come back when everything is green.

Absolutely perfect vacation! Extremely clean, friendly, and has everything you need! It is right on the river. It was so quite and peaceful! At night we enjoyed sitting on the porch listening to the crickets and fish splashing in the river. We brought our boat but never put it in the water because we loved the atmosphere of the cabin and just sitting on the pier enjoying the sights and sounds of nature. We definitely recommend staying here!! We did not want to leave and can't wait to go back!!

Gorgeous cypress trees, flat water paddling

The bathrooms were super clean, and the owners couldn't be friendlier--seriously, they make the place feel like home.

Stayed 4 nights at Buffalo Bayou and we loved it! It was hard to leave. VERY quiet, even with…read moremultiple campers staying there. Loved having full hookups. There was a grill at the site we were at. No table, but we brought one. It did look like they may have some available at some of the other sites. They have a nice little bathroom/shower house on the grounds for use if needed. Having the boat ramp right there was ideal for taking our kayak out and you can fish off the dock behind the owners house. The dogs that were roaming around did not bother us and the pitbull was super sweet! The area is beautiful and peaceful! Plenty of room to roam. We would stay here again for sure!

The owners Pat and Leslie were very friendly and helpful. We stayed for 4 nights in our fifth…read morewheel. The place was so quiet most of the time, I thought we might be the only people actually staying in our RV. There are several other RVs out there, but we saw only a couple people at one of them while we were there. Dogs are not required to be on a leash here. We only found this to be a problem when one pitbull was especially friendly and jumping on us. We have no idea what the 3-4 dog's names were, or who they belonged to. Dogs poop where they want, and no one is picking it up....however, with that said, I never saw one poop near a campsite. They always did their business further out. There are no concrete pads, no picnic tables, no grills, etc here. This wasn't an issue for us, but you might want to know. It was very cold during our stay from January 3-7, 2022. We had no issues with our water, sewer, or electricity. It was a tight fit for our 42' fifth wheel at the first site they were going to put us, so we needed to move down a bit to a larger area. Luckily, there were many open sites, so this wasn't an issue. There are kayak rentals on the property, and lots to do in the area. There is some fracking going on closeby. A generator (or something that makes a lot of noise) ran a lot of the time we were there. Thankfully, we can sleep through just about anything, so this wasn't a big issue for us. It did detract from the quiet during the day, when we would've preferred to hear nature instead. This fracking is not taking place on the RV park property. They have no control over when this noise is going to come and go. I can see that this would be a big problem for some people. It was loud. But, it didn't bother us a lot because we were gone a lot of the time. My husband would probably say his favorite thing on this trip was the Measurement and Time Museum in Jefferson. He spent over 2 hours touring and talking to the owner. I enjoyed the shopping and talking to all the shopkeepers. There were some cute plus size clothes at Yesteryear and also The Front Porch. I'm hard to fit, and picky about the length of my shirts, and found exactly what I needed. We enjoyed the BBQ at Riverport, and the French Dip sandwiches at McGarity's. Service was good everywhere we went. Everyone was friendly and helpful. The Kroger and Walmart in Marshall are nuts! I've never seen a busier grocery store than the Kroger, and I've lived in heavily-populated Arlington, TX most of my life. It was hard to find a parking spot. We were disappointed to find out the local steamboat/paddleboat recently sank and is no longer available for tours. Also, because it was the week after New Year's, many shops, restaurants, and museums were closed for an extended period of time - some all the way to Feb. 1st. I highly recommend calling first before going somewhere, if you're coming in January.

Great Overnight Stay at Shreveport/Bossier City KOA…read more We had a fantastic experience at the Shreveport/Bossier City KOA! From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. We were traveling with friends, and the office employee went out of her way to get us neighboring sites--huge plus! The sites themselves were clean, spacious, and well-equipped with full hookups. Each site had two drain hose connections, which is super helpful for different camper setups. We stayed in a gravel site, which was surprisingly level and included a concrete walkway and a patio with a table and chairs. Some sites are concrete, so there's a nice mix depending on your preference. Though this KOA is on the smaller side and the turns can be a bit tight, our 51-foot truck and camper combo had no issues navigating. The campground is just off I-20 with wide streets leading in, making access easy and stress-free. If we ever need a place to camp overnight in Shreveport, this will be our go-to spot. Highly recommend!

We made a late reservation the same day and the office ensured we had information for our late night check in to one of the camping cabins. It was a relief to arrive there after a long stressful day of driving to a cool and comfortable spot. If you're ever passing through Shreveport and need a cute camping spot, check it out.
