Sam Houston Jones State Park, Louisiana

Had a wonderful stay at the beautiful Sam Houston Jones State Park, Lake Charles, Louisiana. Large paved lots with plenty of shade. A very nice park and we will definitely stay there again. If you like water and nature you will love this Park. Met a heck of a nice guy named Chris who is traveling the country on is Harley and towing his camping gear with him. He even bought one of my All American hand made pipes from me, so we definitely had to set back and enjoy a good smoke at the camp site. You can check out his new Blog at Ridingamericamc.com , Hope this video gives you an insight on how the Park looks so maybe you will want to add it to your bucket list. Hope you enjoyed the video and Please Subscribe and Share if you like what you see. Thanks so much for watching.
