Louisiana State Parks

We are planning on driving through Louisiana after staying on Galveston Island in early October. Haven't really picked a route yet, but since we've never camped in Louisiana, wanted to check it off the list.

I looked into Jimmie Davis SP and Poverty Point SP. Any other suggestions? Probably a 2 or 3 night stay, thanks.

    It depends on which way you will be crossing Louisiana. But I will mention a couple of the parks where we have stayed. These would be just off I-12, north of New Orleans and east of Baton Rouge:

    Fairview/Riverside S.P.
    Fountainleau S. P.

    WE really liked Palmetto Island. Toured the Tabasco plant and emnoyed the entire area. Beautiful park when we were there. FWIW
