Nous avons accès à de l’eau sur le terrain et il y a une station de vidange.
Il y aussi des toilettes et douches mais c’est très sale, pas entretenu du tout…
Nous sommes à 30 minutes de vélo du centre-ville de Bâton Rouge par la piste cyclable qui se prend à partir du camping et qui longe le Mississippi!
Je vous suggère d’y passer quelques nuits c’est vraiment bien situé!
(Translation:)
This is our second stay here!
We use dry camping at the very back of the parking lot, it’s $10/night for 3-4 nights
We have access to water on the land and there is a dump station.
There are also toilets and showers but it is very dirty, not maintained at all…
We are 30 minutes by bike from downtown Baton Rouge via the bike path that starts from the campsite and runs along the Mississippi!
I suggest you spend a few nights there, it’s really well located!

We stayed 2 nights for our first outing in our new camper. We live in Baton Rouge, so this was our “training wheels” trip. The campground is very convenient to shopping and campus, but also feels like you’re in the country. It was quiet and safe. Checkin was easy and they pretty much tell you to pick whatever spot you want and then they come find you and unlock the electrical box. The camp sites are just grass and not super even. Also, there were quite a few fire ant mounds around our camper. I got bitten trying to disconnect the water line. The dump station is convenient as you head out of the campground.
I would recommend the sites on the E row toward the back. E1 and E10 are shaded, the rest are not.
There is a really nice equestrian center there and a path to connect with the Mississippi River levee that is right across the road. The levee has a fantastic paved walking/biking path that will take you all the way downtown or all the way out to the L’Auberge casino on the other end. If you run/bike, this is a great spot for a morning/evening ride. There are also bike shares closer to campus about a mile or so away with electric assist bikes.
There’s a great shopping center about 5 min away (Rousses). And, if you like beer, you can checkout Mid-Tap to try local beers or fill a growler.

Other than no reservations taken, this is a great place to camp if you are in Baton Rogue. Very easy to check in during regular hours to have the electric box unlocked. Otherwise you just show up, find a spot and go to the office in the morning to pay and check in.
There were only 4-5 other RV's during our stay, so very easy to spread out and feel like a private campground.
The horses are out daily, which is a nice view out of the RV as you wake up in the am with a coffee. Limited hiking and biking directly from the park, but it is close to downtown.
Cell was only 1-2 bars, but it is what it is.

All other times are first come first serve!

Just show up and pick a site during business hours. Pay over the phone and they’ll come by and unlock your electric box. Just confirm there’s no big LSU events, otherwise there should be plenty of spots to choose from of the 80 some! Wide open space! All sites are grass and no sewer. We did get rain during our stay, but only a few sites were soggy. So just scope out ahead of time. Only four campers at a time on average. The weekend has a few more.
This park has horses next door that come out each morning! It’s only a 5 minute walk to the 4.2 mile levee trail which takes you right downtown! You’ll see plenty of walkers and bikers coming through the park each day. We also saw an armadillo moseying through!
Overall, the price is on the higher side for just electric and water with grass sites but the location is awesome! We would come back, for sure!

Super clean dump station $10. They are open but there was no one staying there. Cash deposit box by dump station is super sweet.

We came to BR for a conference downtown and Farr is the closest RV park that accepts pets (we have two small dogs) and had a decent rating. It is just okay, especially for $40/per night. We have stayed in much nicer state parks for a lot less. The park attendant was moderately informative but not terribly friendly.
Pros: Very convenient to downtown, just a few miles away on River Road. It is nice to see the horses in the pasture each day. We practically had the place to ourselves which was nice. Decent restroom and shower facilities and HOT showers. Pets OK. The outdoor lighting is fairly sufficient. Supposedly there are great bike trails and is very close to the levy but it rained while we were there so we didn't get to ride.
Cons: There are no concrete pad sites - everything is on the grass or dirt and the ground is very soggy, especially when it rains. So you are constantly walking in or around the mud. The bathroom is in dire need of a good power washing and some paint. Wear your flip flops when showering (this is a good rule no matter where you go). The dump station valve was higher than my exterior connection and doesn't work well if you rely on gravity to dump. Very messy!
Overall we would stay again because there aren't a lot of other good options. But for $40/night they need to make some serious improvements. Concrete pad sites would be a good start.

So, we couldn’t find the office when we pulled in around 2pm Friday. The building labeled office was super run down and empty. We picked a spot and settled in, thinking they were maybe they were gone for the day. Hook ups were locked, so we dry camped, which wasn’t a big deal. Next morning, we find the office near the horses. I explain and the very nice person in the office tells me it’s $39.90 for the night. We thought it was $20 for a couple reasons - their website and these reviews. I told her as much and explained we couldn’t use the power any way. She ended up charging me for dry camping, which was $10. I really appreciate how cool she was. Definitely dealt with some cranky office people in the past.
Facilities themselves were fine for a night. Mostly just a parking lot on grass. Office let me know they Recently upgraded to 50amps but we didn’t use any utilities. Close to Downtown Baton Rouge and the Mississippi River.
