SW Trip Stop #17, Shreveport Camping

Shreveport was our last stop on our way home and the weather was glorious. We noticed as we were getting nearer how green everything was becoming!

Shreveport camping at the KOA

Shreveport camping  was a relaxing  last stop.  However, the drive to Shreveport (6 1/2 hours) was longer than our usual and we had a comparable drive the next day because we were driving straight home.  We were rather tired and just wanted to get to the campground and chill.  A very late lunch while on the road at Weidman’s in Meridian meant that we would not have to go out for dinner.

As soon as we neared the state of Louisiana, It was evident that everything had begun to turn green.  We did not really see that in our earlier stops.   Also, my allergies kicked in with a vengeance.  The official date of the beginning of spring was just around the corner.

We had one tow vehicle issue to address first.  Our SUV indicated that the battery on the remote needed to be replaced.  We found one at a nearby Wal-Mart and while there, we rented a couple of movies.

We then settled in for the evening at the campground.  Our last night on the road was very relaxing and quite comfortable,  but we were both ready to be home.

The Shreveport-Bossier KOA was very nice.  It had concrete pads and a wrought iron table with chairs.  The bathhouse was immaculate and our site was lovely.  We had no complaints whatsoever.  For those interested, below is a link to the website.

This was our first time to camp in Louisiana, though we have visited several times.  Unfortunately, we did not really have an opportunity to any sights.  However, I do want to acknowledge the very best rest stop of our trip.  According to my phone, the photo below was taken in Choudrant, Louisiana.   The facility looks new and is very, very nice.  Thanks Louisiana!
