The Bankston Camp is a very primitive camping experience northeast of the town of Williana, Louisiana. This camp is located just outside the borders of the Catahoula National Wildlife Management Preserve.
From Alexandria, take U.S. Highway 165 north for 23 miles. Turn right (northeast) on Louisiana Hwy 472 and go 4 miles. Turn right (east) on Forest Road 145 and go 2 miles. The Bankston Camp is on the right.
