Lake D'Arbonne State Park — Hotel in Farmerville

The cabine are so spacious and COOL - like the AC was on 74 when we got here at 4pm on a July afternoon and we didn't move it 🙌 We stayed in a Deluxe Cabin that sleeps 8 (I think automatically bc we had dogs and they only have 3 pet-friendly cabins/Sleeps 8 = 2 twin bunk beds, 1 double/full, and a fold-out couch with 1 bathroom) that was about 200 yards to to lake and a pier and nice playground. Lots of trails to explore. The pool looked nice, but we didn't get to swim bc of weather (if thunder is heard, everyone has to get out for 15 minutes and there was definitely a storm moving in) and there were plenty of trails for people that like that stuff in the heat. There's a long pier past the cabins, camping, and pool and we saw a Kids Trail with info signs and lights but didn't investigate. The pool is open 9-5 (pending weather) during the summer and has lifeguards. You get a wristband and up to 75 can swim for 1 hour, then if there's people waiting you have to leave/wait an hour. It's free for people staying at the park. Fishing was not good but it was all off of piers and it was HOT so lots of little fish bit the big ones were in cooler, deeper water. Definitely the nicest state park cabins I've stayed in and will try to come back when...

D'Arbonne State Park is one of the prettiest you will come across. The area is hilly with the forest mostly left in tact. There are plenty of activities to choose from. They have a nice pool, nature trails that are wonderful to hike ( you can make a short or long excursion), the wildlife is plentiful, fishing at just about every turn, tennis courts, and I've done some kayaking here with my own kayak. The cabins are kept up for the most part (you're in the country, don't expect a 5 star hotel people) and have great scenery. The campsites are really nice being as most are fairly level and easy to back into. I've camped in both RV's and tents here. The tent pads are nice too. The park bathrooms are kept clean and water is hot! Camp hosts and park staff are all friendly and knowledgeable. My family and I camp here fairly regularly as we are from the area but we have camped in many other places as well, and D'Arbonne does have one the nicest state...

I recently stayed at this campground for the second time and once again had a fantastic experience. This place is a true relaxing retreat, with beautiful grounds and calming water views that make you feel completely at peace. The campsites are large and spacious, perfect for setting up a cozy campfire and enjoying the great outdoors.

If you want a more level site, I recommend getting site 24 or 25 as some of the other sites can be a bit uneven. The gate can be a bit tricky to unlock, if you are out past dark, so be sure to have a flashlight handy and be prepared to get down on the ground to reach the lock.

Overall, I highly recommend this campground to anyone looking for a tranquil getaway. I will definitely be back again...
