Cloud Crossing Campground is a beautiful bottomland area timbered with large hardwoods and pines that is directly adjacent to Saline Bayou National Wild and Scenic River. The terrain is flat with brushy areas that provide seclusion for some camping sites. Cloud Crossing is an ideal put-in/take-out point for boating or canoeing on Saline Bayou. Visitors to the campground will find picnicking units, a pavilion with barbecue pit, shaded campsites with grill/fire rings, lantern hooks, and tables, trash containers, and restrooms. A launch ramp suitable for small trailered boats and other small watercraft is available.
From Goldonna, take La. Hwy. 156 2.5 miles east. Turn left (north) on La. Hwy. 1233 and go to Forest Road 513. Turn left (west) on 513 to the signed recreation area.
A diamond in the rough! Nestled along the Saline Bayou, this campground has plenty of sites and access to spring water. Quiet and beautiful the scenery is awe inspiring. Be aware however the roads into and out of the area are rough. Take care if you have a large rig!
Beautiful scenery, clean camping/ parking spots, good place for family get togethers. Nice pavilion for day cookouts. All around excellent weekend getaway.
Really good camping spot--at the end of October they had open vault toilets, trash cans available, and working running taps for water (think I saw 2). Idk if that's normal for the area (I'm from up north, everything public shuts down in September lol). I didn't see any issues with the roads coming in, though it seems like a quiet area, so be nice driving. Had 1 bar verizon, went in and out of service a few times.
Shady campground on the bayou with about 10 sites. Each site had table, fire pit and metal stand with two hooks - very handy! Sites were large and not too close to others. ⚠️ Alligator Warning, per Forest Service. We didn't see any but were careful to keep our dog close by and away from the river. We stayed in 35' RV, plus tow car. We would stay again.
