White Oak Parish Park Campground

Camped 5/7/22 (Sat night). Was able to reserve online, and all sites are level, with a cement pad and pull-through. A nice place, well maintained, and the camp host was super friendly, but it's not our ideal campground. It was hot, and sites are right next to each other. Next to us were big RVs running their air conditioners the whole time, so it wasn't exactly nice and quiet. It was also a Saturday night, and there was an event at the park's pavilion, so the traffic going by was regular, and not always slow. The sites are along the road to the boat launch, so you get that traffic too.

Bathrooms were fine, but we didn't take showers, so can't comment on them.

I would have given this a 3 rating; however, because the sites were long, wide, level and pull-through with hookups for only $12, I gave a 4. Grass was nicely mowed, and the host had even edged along the cement pads. It was convenient to have a trash can at the site, and there was also a picnic table, fire ring and grill. Dump station was at the end of the loop.

We were so glad to have found this place! It was a perfect spot to be able to go into Lake Charles from and we really enjoyed the town! Way bigger than we thought with beautiful parks & boardwalks. The locals are so darn nice and after traveling around for the past few months, that is saying something! We have really encountered some overall rude and stuck up cities, like Dungaree CO, so Lake Charles was refreshing to visit. Heck, we actually started looking at house prices here and we are from the Pacific NW! 🙂

Campground has a great launch for boats and kayaks, so most of the daily traffic was from that, but other than the very loud birds at the crack of dawn, it was extremely quiet. Very clean too! Nice playground for kids that the locals use primarily.

We were a tad taken aback to be asked for our driver’s license number by the camp host though. Didn’t really want to give it out and we now are questioning ourselves as to why we did it.

TOURISTY INFO: We really enjoyed watching locals crab off the boardwalk downtown and watched them pull in huge blue crabs every single minute! Crazy! We did indulge in the drive through crawfish places and “Crawfish Boil ‘n Go” was hands down the best place to get them, like their reviews said. Honey B Ham was one place the locals told us to go and we enjoyed the boudin balls there but the crawfish weren’t as good or as clean as the Boil n Go place. The casinos were a nice respite from the heat, to walk through. Very clean and not filled with smoke.

Very weak cell service was the only drawback, but it would eventually work, just slow.

This is a fantastic little gem of a campground. Large level pull through sites, beautifully manicured landscape! The manager William was super helpful and attentive. We took his suggestion first night and went to K-Bon’s which is a local restaurant and had a platter of crawdads. We did the Creole Nature trail road trip which was great! We saw beautiful swamp lands, birds, alligators and other scenery. The loop took us about 5 hours. The Pintail auto tour in the Cameron Prairie National Wildlife refuge was less than 30 minutes from the campground and we saw dozens of alligators in a beautiful setting and it was free! We drive it twice :). I highly recommend this place!

Stayed at White Oak Park outside Lake Charles, LA. It’s located 4 miles North of hwy 10 and is easy to get to. Small parish park, 8 sites total, W/E and dump station $12 per night. Large concrete pads, very long. Will work for any big rig or fifth wheel. We have a 32 ft Class A and tow a Jeep and had plenty of room. Park was quiet and well maintained, had a playground, bathrooms, and shower. We did not use any of these. The park is on a river and you can walk to the boat launch to see it. The Verizon service was spotty, but for an overnight spot this was great!!!

We stayed one night at the campground in our RV. The set up was nice in the campground. It was quiet and neat and well organized.

We suggest that the restrooms get cleaned. The sink was dirty, the shower floors were dirty (grass clippings, plastic, paper), the shower heads were old with no adjustment on water temp.

If the restrooms were in better shape, this would be an excellent location.

We stayed here one night passing through the area. As others have said 8 pull though concrete pads. Level. Very long sites. We are about 55 feet with trailer and it was plenty long enough. Water and electric with a very clean dump site. Nice playground for those with kids. Walk down to the boat launch area nearby and watch the sunset. Beautiful. I would stay here again.

This campground only has 8 spots and we were lucky to get one. There was only one site left when we made reservations the day before arrival and it was midweek. The spaces are paved pull through spots with water and electric. There is one dump station for everyone to use. While you are next to your neighbors, it sure didn't feel like it. Everyone was very quiet. The bathrooms were clean and the shower was free and hot. There is only one shower in each bathroom but we never encountered anyone at the bathrooms so it wasn't an issue. There is a small playground for kids to play and a large grassy area as well. We would definitely stay here again! You can't beat it for $12. 😊

Very clean with 8 pull-through RV sites and a few separate tent sites. All have tables and fire rings and new bbq grills. We were in site 3, and the hookups we’re on the wrong side. It was pull through so we just pulled in the other way. No sewer hookup, but have dump station on site. Nice boat launch and pier on the river. There is a big playground and a pavilion building if you wanted to hold an event. Quiet. No hiking trails. Can’t beat $12/nite. Just 10 minutes into Lake Charles.
