There were a few other people on the trail today, though no bikes. We even saw a tri-color Corgi-mix with beautiful blue eyes! The trail is very well marked, although I typically get lost around the washout, but that's me being stubborn. Sorry for the dead end footprints, y'all! Found my way quickly along the trail past the Day Use area this weekend - I didn't ask for directions, of course - and had a great workout. He's short and I'm old, so we make a great hiking team. Just sharing here - I picked up a set of bone conduction headphones and listened the book of Psalms while hiking through creation - it was a deeply spiritual day and I'm very grateful for the opportunity to share that moment here. Definitely check out the hiking trail, it's about 5 miles with only a couple mild - moderate climbs and makes for a nice Saturday adventure. Check out the little shops and stores in Folsom when you're done!

But at the end of the day the only real problem was a group of local 40-somethings on TRT with their 3 pit bulls who were camping together in a group of 6. They basically hung out all day in lawn chairs getting hammered in the driveway section of their site (directly across from our site) basically just being d**ks. (there needs to be some sort of rule about pit bull kennels operating in a campsite)... But after they left, this RV campground became more calm and worth exploring and enjoying. There is a small lazy river, a large pool and a poolside bar. There is also a decent workout room available 24/7. The lakeside location of several camp sites was the draw for us, as was the evening entertainment while enjoying a few drinks. The campsites are all immaculate full hookup with excellent concrete pads. There are both back in and pull-throughs to accommodate most size rigs. It's only about an hour to New Orleans, so a sight-seeing trip there is easy to do. Very convenient to the I-10. Glad we stayed and we'd likely stay again when passing through.

Everyone we met there working or camping were friendly. As you looked around the park you could almost sense what it was like in its glory days. There was a well planned swimming hole (though now a huge tree lay in it), there are cute gazebos sprinkled throughout the park and a great trail that circled the lake. We floated around in our kayaks and Boots even was able to fish. I spent a day cleaning a walkway/trail that was so covered with years of debris that it was slippery and dangerous. The lack of attention to this (and SO many parks across the country) is sad. And we are so close to losing these gorgeous spots due to lack of attention. An added bonus was that the little towns nearby had everything we needed for some camper repairs and such.

Some walked while some biked. Sugar Mill is a looping trail about a mile long. The alligator boardwalk trail was closed, likely due to damage from Ida and hasn't been repaired yet. There was another trail, but we did not take it. The massive cypress are just awesome! The Spanish moss slowly wavering in the air as you walk underneath these giants is just captivating to me! We did not encounter any creatures except squirrels and a male Orchard Orbweaver and his impressive web. Sooo much space and things to do here we didn't even do all of it. There's big open fields for playing, a playground, tons of parking available. I did see the pier and water of Lake Pontchartrain in the distance, but we were too hungry to keep exploring lol $3 per person to enter the park - 100% worth it

For a state park campground, this facility is above average in my experience. The campsites up…read morefront are spread out. There is a lot of open ground between the rows of slips giving you a sense of open space. There is another campground section in the back where the boat ramp is with some space to park your vehicles with boat trailers. The facilities are well maintained. For example, the site directly across from me has a brand new picnic table which are more expensive than your average table since the entire frame is made from tubular metal to ward off termites. Each gender has three separate shower rooms available to them. Each room is lockable and comes with a toilet, a sink vanity, and a very large shower stall. The rooms are spacious so that parents can help their young children. There two sets of washers and dryers in that same centrally located building for the front campground. The rear campground has their own building with restrooms and showers. The dump station has a hand soap dispenser which is the first time I've seen that at a public campground. I camped in slip #26 which is located at the end of the row and has partial shade over half the slip all day long. The end of the row is next to the park boundary and on the other side is an old cemetery which makes for a quiet area buffer from any residences. After my first weekend, almost everyone else checked out and I had my row to myself. Located within the park is the historical Old Mill House Museum but tours were not available (mid June 2023) as they were currently doing repair work. There is a swamp trail boardwalk available for walking/hiking with periodic benches and a river view at one point. They have provided playground equipment and swings for the children. There are about 80 RV slips and all have water and power hook ups. There a half dozen or so with sewer hook ups. There is also a large tent camping area with no power hook ups. There are plenty of restaurants and grocery stores within just a few miles of the park in both Madisonville and Mandeville.

Cabin 14 at Little Black Creek apparently updated their beds and they were sooooooo comfortable! Some of the best sleep I've gotten while camping! Our cabin mates weren't able to come up with us due to work so they came up on Saturday morning. Early. They said the women in the office was rude to them and charged them to get in, even though they told her they paid for the cabin. They said she even shook her finger at them when they tried to tell her. Friday I went into the office and the ladies that I spoke with were very kind. Must've been two different people. The Halloween festivities were ok. The costume contest was super fun and our kiddos really enjoyed the bounce houses. We were super excited for the parade and I even called to make sure the parade passed in front of our cabins to which the lady in the office replied "yes it just started they will be passing in front the cabins in about 15 minutes." We waited and waited and waited. Finally another camper told us it was over and people were trick or treating. Bummer. Now we were over 40 minutes late trick or treating and it was getting dark. Towards the end of our trick or treating people were out of candy and it was pitch black. People in gold carts were zooming on the roads with loud music (and obvious drinking). Our first experience didn't deter us from booking next year. We still had a great time. We just know better for next year about the parade.

The cabin was amazing, very clean, well kept yet the rustic feel but with all of the amenities. The park was well kept and beautiful.

My daughter is experienced, but I am not and both horses were perfectly trained even for an old man like me. We will be back for sure.

(Literally, 2 barrels full) Weeds were grown up around the stalls and in the arena catch pens. (beer bottle thrown near the manure Ben) The grass was freshly cut, though. The people running the place did not greet us in the two days that we were there. The souvenir store was never opened. It was July 4th weekend and there was only 3 OTHER TRAILERS there on that big beautiful place. It's not the same since the new caretakers have taken over last year. You had to book way in advance just to secure a spot, no one is even there, now. We the ppl helped pay for this place with many stays and now we none feel welcome, anymore. It's an Empty facility now! Caretakers were rude and it seemed we were a burden to be there on the one occasion of speaking with them. We had major issues with our plug hookups last October, causing my beautiful dog to get BADLY electrocuted, when they had just taken over. (Large male collie and he cried out and loud) No one was accommodating. It caused my husband to have to replace the converter in our 39' Lakota along with microwave. To say "disappointed" is an understatement. We have supported the owner for all of these years. We actually, reached out to him through messenger. He said he would be calling me back concerning our experience but never reached out. It's been 3 weeks now. Unfortunately, the running of BCR has changed drastically and it's very sad. This place was a fun place for our family and children to relax and have fun. To say we miss the other caretakers is an understatement..! It was good days when all the horse folks had a part in supporting. Date of stay: July 2026 Traveled with family
