This is one of the best RV parks in Louisiana. From when you enter the facility there is concrete. The sites are long and double wide at the front so you can park 2 vehicles side by side. They have about a 10 acre lake with a sidewalk around it. The bathrooms are super clean. It is only a mile and a quarter south of I12. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. We think this park is one of the top 5 in the state. We used it as a base for 2 weeks while checking out things around Baton Rouge. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nice campground, all sites are concrete pads, the pull thrus are very long but pretty narrow. Staff is excellent and very helpful. Great park for dogs, they have a nice dog run plus a walk around the lake. The negatives are that the sites are close together, this is a big park and the one set of bathrooms can be a long way from many site and, it is hard to believe that a nice CG like this does not have cable TV. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very clean, nicely landscaped. The walkway around the pond is scenic and enjoyable. Staff very nice. Almost all of the coaches and RVs in the park are upper end/well maintained. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This a great park. OK there is no shade but they make up for it. There are paved roads in the park that are very wide. There is an escort to your site. Sites are wide and long--no problem with a toad. Lake was great as my teenagers went kayaking a lot. Pool is clean and the restrooms were very clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. We will stay again, and knowing it is close to the interstate helps. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I stayed here while working in the area. I was here for three months. Everything about this place is wonderful. Whether you're staying for a night or a month, it's well worth it! If you're gonna be here longer than a week, call ahead. You have to fill out an application. (Keeps out the rif-raf.) If I'm ever back in the area, I will definitely stay here! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very attractive park with nice, long paved pull-throughs and back-ins on lake. Sites are level and electricity and water pressure are good. Only problem with this park is that the overnight sites are out of range of wi-fi and the wi-fi is terrible. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a great campground for "big rigs". Escort to site, concrete roads, pads, etc.. Ample space between sites, nice walking path around park. Plan to come back here on the way home! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Beautiful park. Great service. Easy off and on I-12. Lovely setting on a lake with swans( Midnight and Snowflake). Paved all over park, so easy access to your site. Daily garbage service. Just set your trash out at your site. Assistance in finding your allocated site. Highly recommended. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Lakeside RV Park in Livingston is a beautiful park. The staff is very helpful and friendly. There is an escort to your site when you arrive. Also, they provide garbage pick up at your site. The sites surround a small lake with two beautiful swans, Midnight and Snowflake who grace the lake, which make it a great place for a long walk. Fishing is allowed on the lake as well. I have only one problem with this park and that is no cable and the television reception is very poor. Even with digital signal, we were only able to get 2 stations. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great park and they take Passport America. We stayed two days to meet some friends and were really impressed. Park is well run and spotless. The only draw back is the width of the park roads if you get a back in site. They are a little narrow so some maneuvering is required if it's crowded. Once in you may want to stay longer. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very clean and well kept park. One of the best parks along the I-10/I-12 stretch of LA. Roadways and pads are concrete and pads were very level. We didn't need to use levelers at all. Not much at this exit and about 10-15 miles to exits with restaurants, stores, etc. Very quiet from traffic noise and residents. There appear to be many seasonals. This campground has been added to our preferred stops in this area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice park, clean and very well maintained. Management is on site and involved. If you're on the road side, there is some traffic noise including larger trucks. Nice lake you can fish in or ride a non-motorized boat. Sites are a little close together, but it's a quiet park at least during the week. We weren't here over a weekend. We definitely plan to visit here again for a longer time, we could only stay one night this time. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The campground is clean with a nice 17 acre pond stocked with fish. All sites are level with concrete pads. Free Wi-Fi works, but when park is full there is limited connection. There are some activities for special holidays during the year. The park also has 2 pavilions that you can rent for special occasions and parties you would like to host. We have been to this park no less than 20 times. However, there have been times when certain staff members have been down-right rude and patronizing. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We were on the far west end across from lakeside spaces. We still had a great view of the lake and the two swans. It was a very good stay (3 nights). We really liked the nice BIG concrete pads scenery. We were very pleased that they picked up garbage several times a day up until 5 p.m. We had no problems with the Wi-Fi. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We checked in on Thursday, and was very impressed with this park. Our site is right across from the laundry and bath house which was very convenient. Our site is also directly beside a community pavilion. The park has nice concrete pads, very nice lake with walking/biking trail, garbage pickup daily. We were pleased with the amenities until Saturday when there was a party at the pavilion with a lot of traffic and very little privacy for us. Then Saturday night there was a dance at the pavilion for teenagers. The music was so loud that our RV was vibrating. I called the emergency number, and was told that absolutely nothing could be done and that quiet time did not start until 11:00pm. The manager/owner would not even be available to talk to me about my complaints until Monday (when we are leaving). If you want a quiet, family-conducive environment, this park is OK during the week, but definitely not on the weekend. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The park has some bad rules. We invited wife's mother and father to have diner with us, which is why we chose the park. We were then informed that we would have to pay $3.00 each for them to visit us. I understand the general reason for the rule, to keep people from bringing in ten people. Like the family next to us they snuck them in, but it was foolish not friendly regarding honest guests. Rather than eat at the park we took them out to diner. Additionally the wi-fi did not work which negated the computer work I wanted to do.Will not go again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice little park. Several permanents, but all very well kept. 1.2 miles off I-12. Propane on site, easy access. Staff was great. Escort to site. We use Verizon aircard. Signal was good. Will stay here again when in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great park especially for big rigs. I would stay here again anytime. Loved the large cement pads and the walk way around the lake. We camped here in a Motorhome.
There is easy access off of I-10. The staff is friendly. The park is quiet and very clean with nice wide concrete road and pads and nice all-in-one electric and water pedestal. It is great for big rigs; we were in a 45' motorhome, towing, and there was plenty of space. We were escorted to our site. The lake has a nice walking path around it and is a great place to walk your pets. There are several pet stations with bags if you need them. We would definitely stay here again. We camped for one night. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Stayed here for 5 months. Nice park with large paved sites. Owners are on site and take pride of their park. On some weekends they have parties in their shelter building. Wet and humid area though. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed here for the Halloween weekend because of all the activities. There were events planned for most of the weekend such as trick-or-treating, site decoration contest (which we won), costume contest, a haunted house, and a dance. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, with an escort to the site and help in backing in. The small store at the office had a small selection of groceries and supplies. Sites also had fire rings and picnic tables. We had seven campers in our group and they were able to spot us all together. This made everything so much easier. We really had a great time and will return next year, hopefully with more campers. Would have rated it a 10 but our side of the campground backs up to the highway and log/gravel trucks can be noisy at times, but that was minor. There is a wood fence separating campground from the highway. This shouldn't deter anyone from staying here. It really is a great place. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We stayed here two nights. This is an outstanding Park, very clean, easy access to each site, trash pick up at your site,warmly greeted upon arrival and very helpful escort to your site. We would definitely stay here again and this would be an excellent Park to spend a "snowbird" winter in. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Park is very clean, well planned out and far enough off I-12 to be quiet. The staff is helpful and does escort you to your site. I would have rated the park higher except the power is very low, only about 109 volts. We stayed here 2 different nights on our trip from Texas to Florida and back. WE will stay again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
My husband and I have been at this park since April 08. At first the staff was very friendly and helpful, but the longer we stay here the less I'm thinking that. Frankly the manager is a Witch! My husband works 6 days a week, 12 hours a day. On Sunday, his only day off, she knocks on our door at 8am waking him up, just to tell us our picnic table is in the grass. Now I would understand completely if it was all the way in the grass or something like that, our pinic table was 1/2 inch in the grass. She has a sour attitude and was very rude. When we didn't answer the door the first time she knocked because we were sleeping, she continued to knock until we answered! The park is very clean and some people that stay here are very friendly. Even some of the staff is nice. Be prepared to wash your camper every 2 weeks. They we leave a note on your door telling you to clean it!! Even if its not dirty. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Excellent park. Staff very helpful. Staff leads you to site. All concrete sites, long pull throughs. Ample space between sites. One of our top 5 parks. if you get a chance stay here. convenient to I-10 will stay here again if in area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Have used this park for overnight stops for a couple of years on trips between FL and TX. Used Passport America on available days per their agreement with no problems. Be advised that the park has changed the Passport America(PA)rules but neglected to advise me of this when I made this reservation, nor have they changed the PA Directory. PA discount is now valid only for back-in sites, no pull-thrus, and payment is cash only. Still a nice park, but not nearly the deal for overnight stop that is has been. And lack of new PA info when making reservation, since I was already in their computer, and not updating PA Directory is not good business practice. Back-in site for an overnight forces me to look elsewhere on future trips. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Clean park with small private lake with easy access from I-12. The $28.00 daily rate is for off-lake ($150 weekly). Lakeside rate is $32.00 ($170 weekly). Their website does not advertise rates. The off-lake sites, which are close to the highway, are noisy. Friendly, efficient staff. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is all they say in previous post. Very nice and spacious sites. Clean, sparkling, modern bathroom. Workcampers go above and beyond to make you happy. No cable TV but is wired for it. Expect it sometime this year. Big rally room. Pretty swans and birds on the lake with a nice sidewalk that goes around lake. Some permanents in park and they leave early to work (main road workers), a little noisy, but not real bad. We will recommend and return. Take Passport for 1 night only Sun-Thurs. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We really like this park. Nice large sites - concrete. Wide roads and very clean. The only complaint is that while the rules for dog owners - including the leash rule - are in bold print, the managers allow their own dogs to run free, unsupervised. It seems that the manager would want to set an example. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I don't give 10's, no one, including me is perfect. This place is great. Two gathering areas, a 20+ acre lake, small pool. It is not a park to spend a vacation because of the small sites. Cement pads eliminate mud and mess. If you want to hold a barbeque at your site, or have a beer party, and make a lot of noise then this is not the place for you. The rules are normal and it does make a great base from which to go to all the local events and attractions. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We are full time RV'ers and 'wintering' at Lakeside, before 'summering' in the mountains. This is the cleanest park we've ever stayed at. Yes, the park has concrete streets and wide concrete sites. It sure beats stepping into a pool of water or worse yet - mud. The Manager and staff are very friendly, and go out of the way to assist in all phases of our stay. If previous reviewers had a problem with the Manager and staff it had to be something the reviewer was doing - you only get a highlighted note on your door if you break the rules more than once. All parks have rules - it's the rules that result in a clean and safe park, rather than allowing trashy people to come in and trash the park. No cable, but if you have satellite it's no problem. Our rate is based on a monthly rate for a lakeside site. We will winter here every year! We camped here in a Motorhome.
If you are looking for a concrete slab, here it is. The park is very clean. The staff is horrible. The manager is the worst witch ever. The list of rules is very long. They don't like you being outside of your camper. They will not allow a trailer in the park, nor a boat. The golf carts fly by all hours of the day or night. The golf carts are actually a 4 wheeler type thing with a gas motor. Noise. No trees, no shrubs, nothing to do. They ride the park looking for something to complain about. No cable. If you are caught breaking the rules, and not there, they will duct tape the rule sheet to your door. The offense will be hi lighted in yellow. Do yourself a favor, drive on by!
The note I mentioned was a picnic table violation. The lawn crew moved the table leg from the slab on to the grass. I had a note taped to the door to put it back on the slab. The lawn crew also mowed my patio mat. The mat was torn beyond repair. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Excellent overnighter for the I-10 traffic bypassing New Orleans on I-12. Just off I-12, Exit 22, it is just a few minutes east of Baton Rouge which has plenty of sights, activities, malls and some really great restaurants. We have stayed here several times. We use it as one of our regular stopovers on our way from Florida to Texas. Outstanding people, outstanding sites and hoop-ups. We've considered going there just to sit and relax for a few days and see the sights. The only thing we find lacking is the lack of cable. A park this good really needs good cable. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I have never stayed at a TEN rated RV park before and we full time. This one has to be the best, cleanest, people orientated, friendly park we have ever stayed in. Its just fantastic. Don't hesitate to stay long term or short term here. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Couldn't find a nicer place! Friendly, clean, all paved pads, and quiet. I can not understand the previous review, 1st class place, nice friendly people, a great place; although I wouldn't come here in the summer, then I wouldn't be in La. in the summer! We camped here in a Motorhome.
If you need a campground that is basically just slots, this is for you! They is maybe 2 feet of grass between each sites and when we pulled in we were told the few spots we were able to choose as the rest are for long term campers; better known as "residents". There is nothing to do except fish in a small lake or swim in a very small pool. No shade at all. Although staff was friendly they make it known that they cater to their long term guests! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Brand new, wide paved streets, wide concrete sites, picnic tables, spotless facilities and nice pool. Bathrooms/laundry are made of concrete blocks (we were here in tornado season). Passport American Sun-Thurs so we paid $13.88. Friendly, helpful staff. We will definitely return when in this area. No mosquitoes when we were here! We camped here in a Motorhome.
EXCELLENT new park with wide paved roads, wide spacious sites. Friendly management providing a clean facility. Livingston is close to any of the major Louisiana cities - Baton Rouge, New Orleans and Hammond. While staying at Lakeside be sure to visit Wayne's BBQ up Hwy 63 - some of the best brisket, ribs and pork you'll ever find. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Stayed one night on our way to FL. Nice CG with excellent paved roads and nice wide sites. Unfortunately no trees and unless you were in a back-in, no fire rings. Friendly owners and we were escorted to our site. Would definitely stay again and for longer period. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Easy access from I-12 & SR 63 (South Frost Rd) - good signage & directions. Escort & assist with parking on long, level cement pads with adjacent patio and vehicle parking. Although the pads were slightly narrow, there was plenty of room for our 37’ 5th wheel and 1-ton dually. With slides deployed there was very little cement remaining on the street side and back of the unit. Aside from cement roadways and site pads, all else is surrounded by well-cared for lawn, which becomes quite muddy when it rains – which is often. The park is close to a fairly busy local roadway, intermittent traffic noise somewhat disturbing - not the worst we’ve ever heard but certainly there. Daily garbage pick-up at the site. Very friendly & helpful staff. The campground will accept guests’ incoming mail. Two great common buildings, both with AC. Nice pool, adequate laundry & showers and propane is available on site. Most of the 143 sites are back-in with one row of 13 pull-throughs and there are four good-sized rental cabins (park models). There are young trees, a fire ring and a picnic table at each site. WiFi is provided by Tengo – a pay service with a slightly hefty price tag ($34.95/mo) but an excellent signal where we were. We stayed in site # 121 on the west side of the 18 acre lake and closest to the water’s edge – fishing is free and no state license is required. The south side of the park (the longest side of the slightly rectangular lake) is surrounded by thick woods and swamp area. Fun to watch & feed the water birds including a swan, mallards, coots & even an unusual black swan. A bald eagle occasionally swoops in for a little fishing. This is laid out like a commercial, cookie-cutter type park, but the friendly staff and the natural ambiance of the area, raise it above many that we’ve seen. We enjoyed our 2-week stay - the only reason we gave this park a “9” is that the sites are slightly close to each other. We would return if in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Other reviews about staff being rude, and high-handed rules are true. If you like mosquitos, you'll love this place! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The $14.50 (+ tax) Passport America rate for full 50 amp sites made this a real bargain. The park is mostly cement, with grass between the sites and around the small lake. We had a level pull-through that must be 80 feet long. The grounds and facilities look new. They are perfectly maintained. Most of the sites are taken with long-term residents, but they are almost all newer, well-maintained motor homes and 5ers. It is only about 1.5 miles from I-12. A terrific overnight stop at this price. They don't allow Pit Bulls, Dobermans, or Rottweillers. We camped here in a Motorhome.
It was a blessing to find a nice, well-maintained park that was not right on I-10! The short distance south of the interstate allowed us to enjoy the surroundings without all the interstate noise. We camped on the lake and appreciated the concrete pad and patio area. For people who are looking for a nice park without all the planned activities, this is a definite place to stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Excellent park, very clean and the staff is very friendly. Not a lot of shade but there are young trees planted so eventually there will be. Sites are level and the concrete pads are large. It is amazing how well kept up this campground is. Would recommend this campground to anyone. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The campground has become a permanent trailer park. There is no activities for the campers that is allowed to use limited sights. The campground has changed since they first opened and needed campers to come in now they don't need them weekend campers they only cater to the permanent residence of the Lakeside Trailer Park. I will not go back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
If you are planning on camping here, make sure you check all of their rules. This was the worst camping trip I ever experienced and I will not return, nor will any of our friends. First of all they made us move our golf cart trailer twice. They do not allow trailers in the grass, so the day attendant moved it for us to the concrete next to our vehicle, then the evening attendant told us we had to move it to the front. We didn't bring our locks for the trailer, so we refused to move it unless they would take responsibility for the trailer if it was stolen. They refused to take responsibility, so they let us keep it on the concrete. But they do let the buses keep their car trailers on the grass. Another reason I will not return is that the children cannot ride their battery operated four wheelers and cars. It is against their rules. I was told by the manager that they could ride their bikes, and when I told her my 7 year old nephew was handicap and he could not ride a bike that is why his parents brought his four wheeler, she told me and my husband that "you just have to understand that some kids will be left out of things no matter where you go". Talk about a low blow. How can you feel that way against a child that is handicap? What a heartless person. The final reason I will not return is that when I told the manager this was my first and last visit there, she told me it didn't matter because they are booked every weekend with waiting list, so I guess they don't need people like us there. I doubt they are booked up every weekend, because this weekend (4th of July weekend) they had 20 sites open on Sunday night. We were told by the manager that it was for the child's safety not to let them ride their battery operated four wheelers. In that case it is not safe for them to ride their bikes either, because they can ride out in front of a car with a bike just like a battery operated toy. I can understand that if you are not watching your children it is a hazard. But my nephew was riding behind his camper on the grass with four adults supervising him. They had many upset children that couldn't ride their battery operated vehicles. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We only spent the night here while traveling cross country. The pads are all concrete with cable tv. The campground looks very new. Clean, secure and close to interstate (but far enough to not hear it) makes this campground a place to stay again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This park has the friendliest staff I've ever encountered. We experienced a mechanical problem with our MotorCoach and the Staff went above and beyond to try and help. They constantly checked to see if we needed anything and oftened stopped by just to visit. A very clean pool, clean and well maintained park. We're looking forward to a return trip. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Clean park nice people running the camp ground very clean campground site, the camp sites are a little close together but a nice lake and pool play ground for kids and some activities planed. Stayed there in August in a travel trailer and will plan another trip. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The campground is very well managed. I would have to give management a 10. Everyone was extremely nice and helpful. Although the sites were very level and clean, they were too close together. The pool was too small for the number of sites. There is absolutely no shade. It's a nice commercial campground. I thought the nightly rate was a little too expensive considering there is no cable hookup. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
A very clean place. There isn't much shade. The sites were paved and leveled. The owners were nice. We camped Easter weekend, loved the planned activies all weekend. Nice large pond to fish. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very, very clean campground, friendly staff, phone & cable not yet available. Has WiFi. Not much shade but beautiful place overall with stocked 17 acre lake. All concrete streets and pads. Lots of activities for children and adults. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Allows Passport America Sun-Thurs; concrete interior roads and pads, grass between sites, level sites, bordering small lake which is clean. Daily garbage pickup at site and dumpster available. Pleasant/friendly employees and park appears to be well managed. We camped here in a Motorhome.
