     The Hunter Camp is a very primitive camping area in the middle of the forest. There is a camping loop area and a vault restroom facility and is centrally located near the Ouiska Chitto Trail. The Longleaf Scenic Area is also nearby with the Big Branch Trail running right next to the camp.

Hunter Camp Information

Facilities: The Hunter camp has vaulted restrooms. There are no trash receptacles so please bring out what you bring in. There is no water available at this site so be sure to bring plenty of your own.

Directions: From Leesville, take U.S. Hwy 171 south 7 miles to LA Hwy 10, turn left and proceed 16 miles to Vernon Parish Road 443 and turn left (north). Go 4 miles to the signed entrance road on the left to get to the camping area.

The Hunter Camp is designated as a hunting camp but can be used for general camping. The location of the camp makes it popular for trail users. The Enduro Trail, Big Branch Trail, and Ouiska Chitto Trails all come near the Hunter Camp. Wildlife and plant species are abundant and make this camp a popular sightseeing and birdwatching destination for nature lovers and photographers.
