Beware the speed traps on the island!!! It goes from 45 to 25 and the police car will be about 50 yards in.
We were here 10 days, refugees from the ice and snow hammering the Midwest. The park is so quiet other than the occasional helicopter overhead. We didn’t expect 35 deg and 20mph unrelenting wind but we are impressed by this state park. Elec and water at each site and every site is a 60’ pull through. Most every site has a fire ring and overall each site was perfectly maintained.
The shower/BR/laundry center at the East end of the park was very clean with recent laundry washers & dryers. BR’s and showers were quite clean but show considerable wear. Good cell service too.

62PLUS discount code for seniors and disabled in all Louisiana State Parks gets free entrance fee and 50% discount in Camping fees. The park was immaculate, spaced well, clean baths and laundry with a viewing deck of the Gulf. East beach access. If you have doggos the 7 miles of beach is accessible at any orange sign. Locals were friendly. I imagine it’s really overrun in warmer seasons but park was only half empty and Town was barely occupied. We had the beaches entirely to ourselves which we loved. Planning a return trip for fishing. Pelicans and Egrets everywhere. Read that during migration sessions 2.5 million birds pass through a day. Can’t wait to go back! Only negative would be the helicopters flying out and back to oil rigs out in the Gulf, but it wasn’t that bad.

The campground is nice and well maintained. We were in site 14 for 8 days. Some of the turns, though open, were a little tight for bigger rigs, with several leaving deep tracks in the soft ground and mud. Most of the sites, though reasonably level, had fairly large low areas that tended to flood with water a few inches deep. The water did tend to drain within a day or so after the rain stopped. AT&T coverage was “fair”, generally with 3 Bars and up to ~9 MB/s, but usually around or less than 0.4 MB/s. Although the campground is supposed to have WiFi, I was unable to get a connection to it. There is no cable, but we did have DISH satellite coverage at our site, as would any of the sites, so I didn’t test OTA DTV channels.
The beach area was nice, but it was rainy and very windy most of our stay, as two major winter storms raged across the country, though Terri did get out to walk it whenever the weather permitted. One day we did see a shoal of porpoises just out from the park’s pier.
There is only one trail in the campground looks to have low lying areas that flood or hold water most of the time, making hiking it problematic. Although there is a grocery/hardware/everything store a just a few miles down the road, their selection of groceries was rather limited, so don’t plan to get fancy.

Although there is not a view where your site is the area is clean and neat. Drive through sites make it easy to get in and out. Convenient dump site coming in and going out. Electric (50 amp) and water. For seniors it was a 50% discount so we stayed 4 days for $40.

All of the sites are pull-thru with water and electric. Our site was perfectly level. Verizon was very good and seemed to be better on our end of the campground (we were site 46). There isn’t much to do in town, but we enjoyed a very peaceful stay here.

Access to the park is good. Signage could be a bit better. The signs is quite small at the entrance to Admiral Craik Drive. It begins where LA 1 makes a sharp left. Admiral Craik is straight ahead. Check in was quick, easy and informative. The road into the camping area is in good condition. There are speed bumps to control speed. The interior roads are paved and in fair condition.
Our site, 17, was a pull through as they all are except the beach tenting sites. It consisted of an asphalt pad, just wide enough for the rig and a small space to step out onto. Utilities were 50/30 amp power and water located to the left side. We had a table, fire pit and a grill on a grassed. The sites were closely spaced. The internet at our site was good during the week but when the park got busier on the weekend it became poor. OTA TV was adequate. The park is about 10 minutes from groceries etc in the village of Grand Isle
The Comfort Stations were super clean including the two free to use washers and driers.
Be aware. Some sites are easily flooded when it rains. There is no attempt at drainage. This park is very quiet. There are not a lot of street lights so it is fairly good for star gazing at night. The beach sand was groomed a number of times during our stay. It is great for walking or riding a bicycle. The sand surface near the waters edge is quite firm. There is not a lot to do here unless you fish but it is a very nice, incredibly well maintained park
We paid about $12.50 per night using the senior discount.. We feel we received very good value for our dollar and would return if in the area.

I saw at least 3-4 Canadians camping here in mid-March. We are from Wisconsin, so I get why they're here. A warm place away from the ice and snow. Apart from a short hiking trail, the beach and fishing both at the beach and inland waters, there isn't a lot to do except kick back and relax in the sun.
Check-in was easy and the RV sites are all cement pull-through pads that will accommodate any rig. The facility is very well kept and the managers (hosts) are very friendly. Good water and clean power at the site. No sewer at the site, but 2 dumps on your way out. The FREE laundry is a big bonus. As has been stated in another review, this place is literally at the very end of the road (LA-1). So, you may want to stop at the Walmart in Cut Off, LA on your way in for food, drinks and gas (the Murphy USA has the best price in the area).
