Where are the best beach camping spots in Louisiana?
Whether you enjoy lakeside camping or camping on an ocean beach, Louisiana can give you both. No matter your preferred beachside camping style, getting out in the outdoors and enjoying nature is a great way to spend a weekend. Here are a few of the best beach camping spots in Louisiana:
Rutherford Beach, Creole, LA: Enjoy the ultimate beach camping experience by just driving right out on the beach and setting up a tent. Skip the reservations and the hauling of your gear through the forest - just pull up and set up. The ocean views are amazing and the seashells are waiting to be discovered.
Cypremort Point State Park, St. Mary Parish, LA: If oceanside camping is your jam, this small state park should be on your radar. Imagine vibrant sunsets over Vermillion Bay, hauling in a 40-pound redfish from the 100-foot fishing pier, or enjoying a picnic on the beach. Choose from tent camping or cabins, with pull-through sites coming soon.
Rita’s Roost, Cameron, LA: Pull up to this RV campground with access to the Gulf Coast on what they call an "almost private beach." Enjoy biking and hiking trails, swimming and fishing, and of course, all the boating you can handle. It may be a small RV park with only two sites, but that just means you'll have plenty of quiet and privacy.
