RV Camping at Bogue Chitto State Park in Franklinton, Louisiana
Hey folks,
We took our Retro 189R travel trailer to a beautiful Louisiana campground, Bogue Chitto State Park. This State Park is about ten minutes south of the town of Franklinton, Louisiana. During our stay we did a complete campground drive thru of Bogue Chitto State Park. It has RV camping, tent camping, (mountain) bike riding, hiking, boating, fishing and it even has horse rentals available within the State Park. Its a really nice campground with a peaceful family atmosphere and plenty to do.
We hope you enjoy our video and find it helpful as well as entertaining. :D

We'll have to check out this place one day. Thanks! 👍
Hey folks
Yes, we really enjoyed it. Let us know when y'all do... we'd like to know if y'all liked as much as we did.
Thanks for watching our video!😃

What a beautiful state park with exceptional amenities! Last year voters here in Texas approved $1 billion for land acquisition for new state parks. We hope some of that is earmarked for much needed improvements in existing parks. Maybe our parks people should come to Bogue Chitto State Park for ideas. 😜
Great job Mike and Angel!
P.S. The pole with the hook at the top in your campsite is for a lantern. Lots of folks use them for trash, too.
Hey Doug and Carol
Thanks! We find Texas campgrounds to be exceptional and we hope to visit a lot more of them in the near future.
Thanks for the info too, I'm gonna have to get a kerosene lantern just so I can say I've used the pole appropriately, lol.😁
Thanks Doug and Carol for watching our video. We wish you the best and...
Happy Trails & Happy Camping😀
Mike and Angel
Glad to see improvements done to the parks! We are booked there for my birthday weekend the end of May!
Hey Jason, we think you're gonna enjoy your stay.
There is something for just about everyone to do there.
Y'all have fun and here's an early "Happy Birthday"! 🎂
Thanks for watching our video!

Wow finally have paved sites, I like that. I hope our new governor upgrades all the LA state parks.
Hey st6795.
Yes, all of the sites appear to be in pretty good condition. We hope the new governor will promote funding for our State Parks too.🙂
Thanks for watching our video!

We are extremely proud of our park!!! The paving has all been completed since you filmed this video and it is all really nice. In addition to the Mountain Bikes you are allowed to ride your regular bike or electric bike on any of the roads you traveled in your truck. It makes for us a great ride on our Lectric bikes. We live in Franklinton where you drove through. The Washington Parish Free Fair is always the 3rd week of October and we have had as many as 300,000 people come into our town for it. The first Saturday night of December you can come into town and see the largest lighted Christmas parade on the Northshore. I was blessed to have began the parade in 2019 and I have now turned it over to another very capable lady. Also the first weekend in June we have the Washington Parish Balloon Festival. Come join us!!!! I have watched several of your videos but did not know you lived in Louisiana. From the accent I kind of figured LOL.
Hey Marsha.
We just missed the balloon festival. I think we will be back in the cooler months, I really want to hit those MT trails on my MT bike (TREK). Early October sounds like a good time to be there!
Y'all have a great park and a nice nice town. We'll be seeing yall again, soon.
Thanks Marsha for watching our video.
Happy "Trails" & Happy Camping😀
Mike and Angel
We are going to plan a trip soon . Last year we were supposed to go but it flooded we did reserve 109 and it does have full hookups. Looking forward to the ICE Cream 😂🤤
Hey Theresa. I think you were asking about the horse riding in the campground a few days ago. Now we all know they have that 🙂😀.
Thanks for watching our video Theresa!

@@RetroRVRecon Can wait to see you guys!
We love watching your videos. Have y’all ever camped at San Miguel park at Toledo Bend lake? It’s a beautiful place to camp 🏕️. If y’all haven’t please go camp there I would love to see you do a video of it. Thank y’all and god bless you both.
Hey David!
Thank you so much. No we haven't but we've been talking about another trip to the Toledo Bend area, thanks!
Thanks again David and thanks for watching our video.

At the Mile Branch Settlement, the buildings were donated. SYLVEST-MAGEE HOUSE is from my relatives.
I moved away years ago. I am trying to figure exactly where the State Park is located. Like who sold their property.
The Fair has had a lot of fanily time of generations gone by. I had cousins that showed livestock.
One rodeo, the bull got loose and men on horses went after it before it got to the Carnival Rides. That was in 1979/80.
Jim Henson was there. Our baby loved Kermit the 🐸.
Hey Mae.
I bet its a cool feeling to know your family is a part of the town's history! I would have enjoyed watching men on horseback round-up a big bull!! Next time they have the fair I think we'll make a special trip that way, it would have been fun to see Kermit, but I think it will still be fun. 😄
Thanks, Mae, for watching our video!!

Hello Mike & Angel! I noted that you were from south Louisiana. Wife and I are from Lake Charles, campers (Lance 1685), and eBike (Lectric XP 3.0) owners/riders. Would be great to hear from you!
Hey Karl.
Maybe we'll see yall out at a campground.🙂
Thanks Karl for watching our video.
