🏕️ Camping in Louisiana State Parks at a Glance
- RV hookups: Yes — improved sites have water + electric; premium sites add sewer and pull-thru access
- Pets: Pets must be on a leash (max 6 ft), caged, or crated; not allowed in group camps, enclosed structures, swimming areas, or non-pet-designated cabins. Service animals permitted. Pet-friendly cabins carry a $40/dog surcharge (max 2 dogs).
- Firewood: Only 'dead and down' wood may be collected in parks. No explicit statewide out-of-state firewood ban found in park policies, but Louisiana restricts moving uncertified firewood out of emerald ash borer quarantine zones.
- Good to know: Reservations accepted only from persons 21 or older. The portal is a custom state-branded system (Go Outdoors Louisiana), not ReserveAmerica/Aspira/US eDirect.
