Louisiana state park pricing is ABSURD.

My wife and I have tent camped all over Arkansas, Arizona, Utah, and Colorado. We have never paid more than $20 per night.

With Bogue Chitto at $33/night and Chicot at $25

Well those are the rates for RV campsites with water and electrical hookups. Bogue Chitto doesn't show tent camping rates on their website, but Chicot's site shows $9 for backcountry tent camping

The problem is, those upland sites are the best ones, and they don't have non hookup pricing.

This is all I see on the site:

81 Premium Campsites (prime locations and pull through, all with water and electrical hookup); sites 101-135 are located on water, while sites 1-46 have sewer hookups.
(map of upland sites, 001-046) (map of bottomland sites, 101-135)

$33/night plus tax, Fri-Sat
$30/night plus tax, Sun-Thurs, Apr-Sept
$25/night plus tax, Sun-Thurs, Oct-Mar

Try looking at Primitive since that what you want to do Mr. Ranter. $10.00 a night primitive

Welcome to Louisiana. We have are dead last in business. All we can do is tax your arse

I never understood how people camped at Tunica since there's no campground or state park.

Looks up Tunica Hills WMA on LDWF site. There's a map online. The area where camping is allowed is on the south tract off of Parker Rd.

They have a port-a-potty out there but thats about it. You can make a camp fire and you'll probably have the place to yourself or maybe one other tent outside of hunting season.

FYI though, Tunica Hills WMA is closed to the general public this weekend for their turkey lottery hunt. But weekdays or any weekend outside of April you're good.
