Cotile Recreation Area

This lake is gorgeous and in early July the lake water was like swimming in a bath. The whole site looks really well cared for and set up and they have great facilities for camping (I took a ‘primitive’ site with views through the trees to the lake) but, the bathrooms near me looked like they hadn’t been properly cleaned out in a while. The toilets were as clean as could be expected after July 4th, but the building itself hasn’t even been hosed out for a while judging by the insects and spiders and other debris. It’s the only reason it didn’t get a 5 star, but I’d definitely go back.

Went there for a high school fishing tournament. Charged 5 bucks just to drive in for 30 min. There was ample room to park but the lot needed to be cleaned up.

Don't come here if you want a peaceful camping trip. Bunch of party people in the B section on the hill will play the radio wide open with bass screaming and yelling past 1 AM. The park manager needs to update the camp rules paper quiet time from 10 pm - 6:30 am to 1 am to 6:30 am to reflect what the camp post is allowed to do. That way people will know what to expect and have a choice on weather they want to stay here. Otherwise the shower and restroom upgrades look great!

Great little gem out of the way and situated on Lake Cotile. Sites are a bit cramped and there was damage from Hurricane Laura that still needs to be fixed. All in all it's a great place to stay when recreating in the Kisatchie National Forest, Calcasieu Ranger District.

Lake is beautiful rest rooms and showers are really clean .. just a suggestion on grounds keeping get it done before the weekend like Monday thru Wednesday the cutting grass all day was annoying couldn’t take a nap and rest . This RV camping section B area does not follow the camp ground rules quiet time is in their guide 10pm - 6am the home stead campers partied till 2am when my husband inform the office when we left his response it was post grounds keeper and its was Friday night party 🥴 what a jerk .so if you looking for a peaceful relaxing get away for the weekend do not go to Cotile recreational RV camp grounds . Lol 😆 if you want a party and play your loud music all hours that the place ..
