Looking for a winter camping destination that is central to some of the best areas of the southern US? Then look no further! Gator Grounds is located in Bunkie Louisiana and while we offer a small town, quiet camping experience, we also offer big city camping amenities and a location that you just can’t beat!
Gator Grounds’ winter campers enjoy almost our entire range of amenities, with our outdoor water park being closed November-March. Winter campers can enjoy our indoor swimming area, stocked fishing ponds, golf course, outdoor movie theater (winter showings based on park occupancy and temperature), Bar (21 & over), Gator Grill, playground, and more! Those winter campers staying with us for a week or longer can enjoy FREE GOLF for the duration of their stay (Wed-Sun)! Unlike some of the other water parks in the area, our amenities are only open to our campers and park members so there is no fear of large or unruly crowds.
