Memorial Day weekend is almost here, and if you haven’t locked down your plans yet, there’s still time to book one of Southwest Louisiana’s most scenic and activity-packed destinations. Bundick Lake Retreat & RV Park in DeRidder, Louisiana is the ideal base camp for families, couples, and groups looking for a true outdoor escape — complete with lakefront fishing, a swimming pool, mini golf, pickleball, and comfortable lodging options that fit every budget.
Whether you’re rolling in with your RV, booking a cozy cabin, or organizing a group retreat for the long weekend, Bundick Lake delivers the kind of peaceful, nature-forward experience that makes Memorial Day weekend camping near Lake Charles worth the drive. Here’s everything you need to know to plan your stay.
Tucked away on 15 beautiful acres along the shores of Bundick Lake, just outside DeRidder, Louisiana, this retreat-style RV park sits roughly 45 minutes east of Lake Charles — close enough to day-trip to the casinos and attractions, but far enough removed to feel like a genuine escape from the everyday.
Memorial Day weekend marks the unofficial start of summer, and Bundick Lake is built for exactly this kind of celebration. The swimming pool opens up, the fishing is prime, and the long weekend gives you enough time to truly unwind. Families who’ve been waiting all spring for a real outdoor adventure will find everything they need right here on the property.
Here’s what makes this park stand out for a holiday weekend stay:
If you’re bringing your rig for Memorial Day weekend, Bundick Lake’s full hookup RV sites are ready for you. Each gravel pad includes 30/50 amp electric service, individual water connection, and sewer hookup — everything you need to run your coach comfortably through the holiday weekend heat.
The park offers 19 RV sites set among tall Louisiana pines with open, spacious layouts that make maneuvering even larger rigs manageable. Sites are designed for both back-ins and pull-throughs, and the scenic surroundings give you that true lakeside camping feel without sacrificing the conveniences of full hookup service.
* RV pad and tent prices based on 4 people. Each additional person is $5/night. Military discounts available — ask when booking.
For a Memorial Day weekend stay (Friday through Monday), you’re looking at just $120–$160 total for a full hookup site — an incredible value compared to crowded state parks or resort-style campgrounds that charge two to three times that rate for the same holiday weekend.
Not everyone wants to sleep in their RV or pitch a tent for Memorial Day weekend — and that’s exactly why Bundick Lake’s motel-style cabins are such a popular option. The park offers 8 cabin units, each featuring:
These aren’t rustic bunkrooms — they’re clean, climate-controlled, private units that give you the comfort of a motel room with the atmosphere of a lakeside retreat. Perfect for grandparents joining the family trip, couples looking for a romantic long weekend, or anyone who wants a real bed after a day on the water.
* No smoking or fire cooking in motel rooms. Pets are not permitted in motel rooms or the bunkhouse. Advance reservations required — cabins fill fast on holiday weekends.
Planning a Memorial Day gathering for a larger crew? Bundick Lake’s bunkhouse is purpose-built for groups. With sleeping capacity for up to 25 people and access to a commercial-style kitchen, it’s the ideal setup for family reunions, church groups, sports teams, or any organized gathering that needs shared sleeping quarters and a real cooking facility.
The bunkhouse connects to the park’s indoor event and dining hall, which seats 80 to 120 people and is equipped with tables, chairs, a projector screen, and two bathroom facilities. If you’re hosting a Memorial Day cookout, a group dinner, or a multi-day retreat, this space handles it all.
Bunkhouse Bed Rate: Starting at $25/night per bed

Memorial Day weekend is one of the best times of year to fish in Southwest Louisiana. Water temperatures are warming, bass are active in the shallows, and the long weekend gives you multiple mornings to get out on the water before the rest of the park wakes up.
Bundick Lake is a well-known fishing destination in Beauregard Parish, recognized for its bass, catfish, and bream populations. The park’s private lake access means guests can fish directly from the property — no need to haul your gear to a public boat launch or compete with weekend crowds at a state park.
Bring your kayak or small boat and launch from the property’s dock. The calm, scenic waters of Bundick Lake are ideal for early morning fishing sessions before the afternoon heat sets in. After a morning on the water, cool off in the swimming pool and let the kids burn off energy on the mini golf course or playground.
This is the kind of Memorial Day weekend that creates memories — not just a campsite reservation.
While the park itself offers enough to fill an entire long weekend, DeRidder and the surrounding region have plenty of options for day trips and local exploration.
Southwest Louisiana’s pine forests, bayous, and lake systems make it one of the most underrated outdoor recreation destinations in the Gulf South. Memorial Day weekend is prime time for:
Holiday weekends at crowded campgrounds can feel more stressful than relaxing — packed sites, long lines, noise that runs past midnight. Bundick Lake takes a different approach. The park enforces quiet hours beginning at 10:00 PM, maintains a 5 mph speed limit throughout the property, and operates with a focus on creating a peaceful, family-friendly environment where guests can actually decompress.
The mix of RV sites, private cabins, and group bunkhouse means families of all sizes and configurations can stay together on the same property. Grandparents can book a cabin while the kids sleep in the RV. A group of families can split the bunkhouse and share the commercial kitchen for a big Memorial Day cookout. The flexibility is built in.
And because the park operates on a contactless management model, check-in is smooth and hassle-free. No waiting in line at a front desk. Reservations, changes, and guest support are handled by phone, email, or text — and staff can be arranged on site as needed for events and group stays.
Bringing the dog for Memorial Day weekend? Bundick Lake is a pet-friendly RV park that welcomes up to 2 pets per reservation. The open, scenic grounds give pets plenty of room to roam (on leash), and the natural lakeside setting is a welcome change from urban dog parks and backyard fences.
All pets must be kept on a leash, cleaned up after, and not left unattended. Pets are not permitted in motel rooms or the bunkhouse, but RV guests and tent campers are welcome to bring their four-legged family members along for the holiday weekend.
Memorial Day weekend fills up fast — especially for a destination-style property like Bundick Lake that offers this combination of amenities at these price points. Don’t wait until the last minute to lock in your site or cabin.
