Campgrounds near Richwood
Richwood sits just south of Monroe in Ouachita Parish, in the low, humid pine-and-bayou country of northeast Louisiana. RV travelers use it as a base for I-20 road trips, Ouachita River recreation, and access to Lake D'Arbonne and the Upper Ouachita National Wildlife Refuge to the north. Elevation is low, terrain is flat to gently rolling, and most private parks are built for easy pull-through access from the interstate.
Close-in options include Ouachita RV Park just off I-20 in Monroe, which offers full hookups and pull-through sites for travelers passing through. Ouachita Sportsplex sits on the north side of Monroe and caters to families and tournament traffic. Pavilion RV Park and The Fishing Camp Tackle & RV Park round out the private options nearby, with Bayou Boeuf RV Park giving access to bayou fishing south of the city.
For state-park camping with more shoreline and trees, Lake D'Arbonne State Park lies roughly thirty miles north near Farmerville and offers improved RV sites, cabins, and lake access.
Things to do near Richwood
Water dominates the recreation calendar. The Ouachita River and Bayou D'Arbonne draw anglers for bass, crappie, catfish, and bream, and Lake D'Arbonne itself is a large recreational lake with fishing piers, boat launches, and open water for skiing and pleasure boating. Kayaking and birding are strong along the bayous and in the surrounding wildlife refuges.
In Monroe and West Monroe, RV families can visit the Louisiana Purchase Gardens and Zoo, Chennault Aviation and Military Museum, and the Biedenharn Museum and Gardens. Antique Alley in West Monroe is an easy walking district for a rainy afternoon, and Pecanland Mall covers standard shopping needs.
For a longer day trip, Poverty Point World Heritage Site sits east of Monroe and Chemin-A-Haut State Park lies to the north near Bastrop.

Spring and fall are the most comfortable stretches for RV camping. March through May brings mild days, blooming pines and hardwoods, and strong fishing on Lake D'Arbonne, but it is also the peak season for severe thunderstorms with heavy rain, hail, and occasional tornadoes across north Louisiana. Rain gear and a weather radio are worth packing.
Summer is hot and humid, with the hottest month being August with an average high near 94°F and afternoon thunderstorms common from June through August. State-park swimming pools such as the one at Lake D'Arbonne typically run from Memorial Day weekend through around Labor Day on limited schedules, and mosquitoes and biting flies peak. This is also Atlantic hurricane season, and remnants of Gulf systems can push heavy rain inland.
Fall cools quickly through October and November and is generally the driest, most stable stretch. Winter is short and mild, with occasional freezes, low visitor traffic, and easy site availability at private parks near I-20.
How to book a campsite near Richwood
Private RV parks around Monroe, including Ouachita RV Park, Pavilion RV Park, The Fishing Camp Tackle & RV Park, Ouachita Sportsplex, and Bayou Boeuf RV Park, take reservations directly by phone or through their own websites and third-party platforms. Most cater to I-20 overnighters, so short lead times are usually workable outside of holiday weekends and regional sports tournaments.
Louisiana State Parks reservations, including Lake D'Arbonne, must be made at least 48 hours in advance and can be made up to 13 months to the day in advance online or by calling the reservation center. A non-refundable fee is assessed on each reservation transaction made online, via phone, or as a walk-in. Customers must be at least 21 years of age to reserve a campsite.
What to expect on the ground
Private parks in the Monroe area lean toward practical, big-rig-friendly layouts with full hookups, gravel or concrete pads, laundry, and Wi-Fi at many locations. Ouachita RV Park, for example, offers pull-through sites and standard amenities, with check-in windows generally limited to daytime office hours and after-hours contact for late arrivals.
Expect flat terrain, mature hardwoods and pines for shade at the better sites, and easy interstate access. Cell coverage is strong near Monroe and thinner out toward Lake D'Arbonne and the wildlife refuges. Bring insect repellent from spring through fall, and plan for humidity: awnings, fans, and shade matter more than heaters for most of the year.
Grocery, propane, fuel, and RV service are all readily available in Monroe and West Monroe, so resupply is straightforward before heading to more remote parks.
