Preferably in the woods to have a little firewood

Kisatchie Nat Forrest. Plenty of campsites to drive up to.

Or wild azalea trail and backbone trail to hike in a few miles and get away from the noise.

Do you want a campground or something in the middle of the woods? Either way you can start at Valentine Lake. You can camp at the campground on the north shore of the lake for $10 a night. It has bathrooms, running water, and a fire pit.

If you want in the middle of the woods then start at the Wild Azelea Trailhead just south of Valentine Lake. There is a campsite a couple miles in. It might be six or seven miles, I'll have to look it up. Valentine Lake is about 15 miles West of Alexandria.

You also have Kisatche bayou which has toilets but no running water. Again if you want middle of the woods then look at the backbone trail. There is an amazing campsite about 4 miles in. Both the backbone and Kisatche bayou are just south of Natchitoches.

My Dad used to take me to a small campground in Alexandria called Stuart Lake. It's on a small lake in the Kisatchie National Forest.

Chicot State Park. You can pick a camping spot that'll include a bar b que pit, fire pit, & a nice set up area. Shouldn't be too crowded during the week, you can pick between the North or South camping areas. If you want to go primative, you can hike in to one of those campsites along the trail. Park is great with lots of trails & a Great Lake for fishing. Plus you can drive into Ville Platte & get the best smoked meats & boudin you've ever had.
