We pulled out of Mandeville and followed I-12 West, joining I-10 again, then North on I-49 to Natchitoches, then West on Hwy 6 to Mary and crossed the Toledo Bend Reservoir into Texas and North to the campground. It was a long days drive of about 330 miles. I had wanted to camp more in Louisiana, particularly down at the tip of the bayou, SE of New Orleans, but Grand Isle State park was still closed, being re-built from the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. So we said goodbye to Louisiana and hello to Texas!
Being a National Forest Campground, we got 50% off with our Senior Pass (yeah!)... so the $5 fee became $2.50! Our cheapest camp of the trip!
The campground was decent, spread out, and we got the last camp in the loop, away from all the other sites, high on a bluff, overlooking the reservoir. No electric, potable water at the dump station only, but with flush toilets and showers! It was quiet and peaceful except for one doofus who ran his generator all night long... ignoring the 'quiet hours'. The stars were magnificent. The locals brought their boats and did a lot of fishing, launching at the boat ramp. We spent idle days reading and kept a fire going all day just for company... lots of wood available. Walked a short trail around the campground. . Nice spot.
