River Bend RV Park

Beautiful place. Really liked the big cement pads for the trailer. Host was very nice. Only issue we had was the cats. We had our dog. The cats kept coming to our campsite every time we tried to sit outside. While our dog is nice, she was not having the cats. They were everywhere, which made it less enjoyable for us because we had to either hold our dog really tight or keep her inside. There are more permanent campers there.

Went off the other review.. very much agree. Quiet and yes remote if you like that. Never used the facilities so cannot review that. Town has a large super market and coffee shop that had great lattes. Most of the folks there are working so not much of a “camping feeling”. Always felt safe... had a creepy neighbor but he kept to himself but that could happen anywhere. Camp host Kent.. very nice and accommodating. Close to huge casino.

I was traveling from Slidell, LA to Houston and had been advised to avoid I-10 through Louisiana (because of bad roads), so I plotted a similar (blue highways) route just north and was glad I did. Kinder, LA was the half-way point to my destination, so I stopped at Riverbend RV Campground, just off the highway. 4

We got space #1 which is the best in my opinion for just $20 a night. If you're looking for a lot of amenities, this isn't the place, but I prefer something that feels a bit more like camping (but with all the necessities). All sites are on cement pads with 30/50 and water. I didn't notice if they had a dump station. They have a bathouse that allows you to have a shower and adjoining large bathroom for privacy. It was clean.

The campground is run by a husband and wife who are nearby ranchers looking for a little side income. They were very nice. One note was that someone in the campground had a little jack russell dog that came running across the campground trying to attack me and my cat (I walk my cats on a leash). I was able to pick her up and keep her safe, but there was obviously there was someone who was not a good dog owner staying there. I called the campground and she was sorry, she hadn't seen that dog before and said that the night was complimentary because of my troubles.
