Bistineau Lake RV Resort Cabins & Camping 315 Lakeview Circle, Elm Grove, LA 71051

"During the lake months, when the spillway gates are closed, the view is nice and I hear the fishing is fantastic! In the off-season(?) the quads sometimes show up. Pretty cool use for a lake bed if you ask me. And you can still cross the bridge and launch a boat there in the remaining lake [channel?] But I couldn't quote you their fees. Boat ramp on site. Oh, and there are a couple cabins I've never seen inside. Has Wi-Fi... currently... at the time of this edit. Internet availability has been hit and miss since I've been here; sometimes no signal (somewhat understandable), sometimes no service. And phone service is terrible. (I have both AT&T and Verizon. AT&T beats Verizon here but typically neither are capable. I added a Verizon booster and now that phone is no longer COMPLETELY useless here but still close.) The slips are pretty close, many have said. Don't expect Dallas, TX amenities like a fitness center and spa... or even groceries in a reasonable range. It's a good stop on the map when you plan a fishing trip, quad excursion, or simple get away. Thinking about it, there is a lakeside covered pad that I'm guessing could be for cook outs and gatherings, but you'd have to ask on that. Just so you know what to expect, if you thing my review is in some way negative, ask yourself why the author stayed all these years."

"Very cozy! There pads are 45’ long, with plenty of space between. The views are spectacular."

"Very quiet and clean rv park. Management is always very helpful. Great place to put in a boat or just fish off the dock."

"This little campground offers 50/30amp service and sewer. Leveled cement pads. It has free wifi which I found to be excellent. I averaged 30mb down and 5mb up. The speeds were consistent over the weekend when it was more crowded. The sites are rather close to one another. VZ and ATT coverage were barely 1 bar. Without a cell booster it's dropped call central. Heads up on that. If you are traveling east or west on I-20, it's just a 30 mile dip off the highway for a one nighter or weekend. If you fish, there is a boat launch and very easy access to the lake. (at the bottom of the hill, barely 50 yards away). For the price of just $18/night, it's a winner in my book."

"First off, I have to say that the owners are extremely kind. We showed up late without a reservation, and they were more than accommodating. The area has an excellent view, and is well secluded. The water is delicious. Seriously, load up on this stuff because it is so good! The cabin we used was perfectly cozy. Couldn't have asked for me. If you were my friend, I would recommend you to stay here. [don't worry, the RV spots provide everything you need as well]. Thanks for the stay, and hospitality."
