Large lakes, forests, and canoe trails make an RV camping trip near Shreveport one to remember.
Take a scenic drive along Shreveport's Red River for RV-friendly camping in Louisiana's finest state parks and national forests. Tucked about 20 miles from the Texas border, Shreveport is known for its pine trees, pristine lakes, and freshwater fishing—and even better, nearby state parks like Caddo Lake and Lake Bistineau offer even deeper dives into the nature this region is knownfor. Book an RV campsite at Caddo Lake State Park for full hookups near boat launches for fishing and paddling, or choose Lake Bistineau State Park to hit 10 miles of woodland trails and an 11-mile canoe trail. Lake Bistineau RVers have access to full hookups at pull-through campsites as well as swimming areas covered by a mixed forest of cypress, hardwood, and tupelo trees. South of Shreveport across the Pendleton Bridge is Sabine National Forest—home to the man-made Toledo Bend reservoir. Sabine’s first-come, first-served RV campsites can accommodate camper trailers and offer both sewage dumps and electrical hookups.
