re: Camping/Hiking Louisiana

I rode through Chicot this afternoon for a second on my way home, and talked to one of the park rangers about where to camp - he suggested the south area and showed me a range of spots. We may end up staying there, but I'm thinking my son doesn't want to stay in a designated area; he wants to go and "make camp" somewhere.
Mung - you mentioned the primitive campsites, how do you get to them? I went in the main entrance and took a left where it pointed to primitive area. Are there areas down the trails? Lived in Bunkie my whole life and am crazy unfamiliar with Chicot...

Side note: I was blown away by how nice it was out there
