Intracoastal Parish Park Campground

Interesting place. Unusual bridge and close viewing of tugs and barges. Yes the bridge is a bit noisy, I imagine especially so if camped at that end of the park. The sites are close together and 100% gravel but I had the site's site so it wasn't too bad. The ones facing the water had covered picnic tables every third site or so. That was a nice touch and people put up tarps to block wind/sub/visibility. I would have hung my hammock. It was Thanksgiving week and I snagged the last available site. Reservations are best because it is a popular fishing place. The bathrooms are great, though only one shower stall. I'm typically a boondocker and this was a great place to recharge for awhile. 50 amp and water at the sites for a great price,

This is a very nice place to spend a few nights. Site is clean and well-maintained; Access is super easy; Host is pleasant and helpful.

We enjoyed checking out Sabine NWR and had our first ever crabbing experience there (get string and chicken at Brown’s in Hackberry and then go to one of the designated refuge areas!) We’re mentioning this because it was fun and easy and the campground has fish cleaning stations which made dealing with two dozen crabs a dream.

Yes, there is some road noise from the bridge and yes you can see plumes of exhaust from the local LNG Plant. But it’s safe and secure, well maintained and absurdly cheap for water and electric sites with dump station onsite. And we had no trouble sleeping, so the noise was much less than some places that have train traffic nearby!

It's no resort, but it was a nice spacious lot to provide a break from a stretch of beach boondocking to get cleaned up. If it were full, it might get a little cozy, but there were only six or seven other campers so plenty of room to spread out.

Looks to be primarily a fisherman's hangout - two boat ramps, fish cleaning station, right on the water. There's a small park at the end of the lot for walking dogs or setting your kids loose on swings and slides while you do other crap.

Hookups worked. Verizon 4G good. Everyone kept to themselves. I don't even think the place was staffed the couple days I was there but they have a sign to pay online.

As others said, it can get noisy. The big barges cruise through day and night. You can hear the rattle of the steel bridge when cars go by, but as a former city dweller, that didn't lose me a wink. Also, you will not find convenient amenities nearby. The closest grocery store was twenty minutes away, and larger chains about forty...otherwise you're shopping at gas stations.

Still giving it four stars because those are negatives I don't really care much about.

Not far off I-10 Lake Charles and Sulfur. Parish park and great Value, clean however there is the draw bridge. Noise from the grates can effect you if you pick site close to it. This a great place to see the barges coming up and down the intercostal. We likes it .

Stayed here on our travels between Houston and New Orleans. Some great birding and we saw a good size gator also. Bridge is loud but quiets down at night. Sounds like a hot air ballon to me. Only about 30 min from coast and decent beaches.

Not sure we would have stayed here due to the very loud road noise from the metal part of the bridge.
Otherwise would have been nice …

Very affordable, includes electric, water at the site and a dump station. Trash cans and picnic tables at each site. Gravel base. Some sites have covered picnic tables. Fishing right off the river and there's a cleaning station to clean your catch. Boat ramps too. Watch the barges move along the water way. Driving access to beaches and other adventures north or south. Playground for the littles. No walking trails but it's large enough to walk around the park. I visited in November and there were only a few other campers. I'd definitely stay here again.

We stayed 4 nights because of a schedule issue. I was able to book online, the link on here is not valid but if you google the name you’ll find the reservation site. There wasn’t anyone to meet onsite but our site was reserved with a name tag and a phone number to call for any issues. We had site 3 which is near the boat ramp and the bridge. The site included power and water. A dump station is by the restroom facilities which includes a shower stall in both the men and women’s side. They were also very clean. Unfortunately, the mosquitoes were very plentiful so we were not able to sit outside and doing anything outside after dusk was impossible. There are sites further away from the bridge that probably don’t get the same amount of noise that we heard from the cars but it was very loud for us. The noise from the passing boats was also throughout the night. We had great starlink connectivity but the T-mobile and AT&T was minimal.

Seriously, for $12 a night there power, water, and as much fishing or crabbing as you can handle. It is not the most scenic place in the country, but all the barges floating past are pretty darn cool if you ask me. Definitely a great place to base camp while touring Creole Nature Trail.

The park is divided into a boring RV section (asphalt and gravel) that overlooks the river. It has commanding view but everyone was crammed in there when we arrived. We chose to park in the completely vacant (at the time) "tent area" which has grass and easier access to the water (not that I fish or anything) and still with a pretty good view.

The sites are all more than long enough for big-rigs, and the cleanliness of the park was second to none. I have only two gripes; 1) The overhead lights are so bright that it was not easy to sleep at times, and 2) the metal draw bridge makes a ton of noise every time a vehicle goes over it, which is every few seconds, 24 hours a day.

We weren't expecting much out of a $12 county park but I'm so glad we ended up here. You can't beat the price and we enjoyed watching the tug boats pushing the barges across the waterway.

My only complaint would be that occasionally there were loud honks from the boats. There is noise from the draw bridge as well but we don't mind the white noise.

You are just a few steps away from fishing, too.

It was a great place to plug up a few days and recharge our batteries.

The bathrooms were not in working order when we were here either.
