Facility Overview
Situated in the peaceful rural setting of Washington Parish, Great Southern RV Park provides accessible, spacious surface parking and accommodation at 64460 Main St in Angie, Louisiana. Designed primarily as an open-air recreational vehicle and travel trailer facility, the property easily accommodates large rigs, fifth wheels, toy haulers, and commercial work trucks alongside standard passenger vehicles, SUVs, and high-roof vans. Because there are no multi-level decks or covered structures, the grounds offer unlimited vertical clearance, making entry and movement completely stress-free for tall campers and vehicles hauling boats or outdoor utility trailers.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Great Southern RV Park serves as a convenient gateway to the scenic pine country and riverlands of Southeast Louisiana, just minutes south of the Mississippi state line and a short drive north of Bogalusa. Visitors enjoy direct proximity to prominent regional destinations:
- Pearl River Wildlife Management Area & Basin: Located within a short drive, providing exceptional opportunities for fishing, birdwatching, and seasonal hunting.
- Bogue Chitto River: Renowned for river tubing, kayaking, canoeing, and freshwater angling throughout the warmer months.
- Downtown Bogalusa: Roughly 10 miles south along LA-21, home to historic landmarks, local diners, grocery stores, and Cassidy Park.
- Washington Parish Fairgrounds: Situated southwest in Franklinton, home to the famous annual Washington Parish Free Fair, the largest free county fair in the United States.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
The facility benefits from direct frontage on Main Street (Louisiana Highway 21), the principal north-south corridor connecting Bogalusa, Angie, and southern Mississippi communities such as Sandy Hook and Columbia. Ingress and egress points are wide and unconstrained, allowing long rigs and towed vehicles to enter and exit smoothly without backing into fast-moving traffic. While Angie is a rural community without municipal rail or fixed-route public bus service, travel by private vehicle is uncomplicated, with easy links to LA-438, LA-10, and Interstate 59 further east in Picayune, Mississippi.

Visitor & Driver Tips
When approaching via LA-21 (Main Street), watch for village speed limit reductions as you enter the town limits of Angie. If arriving after sunset, take extra care along rural highway stretches where lighting is limited and wildlife may be near the shoulders. Drivers piloting long motorhomes or towing fifth wheels are advised to contact management in advance to secure optimal pull-through spaces and verify electrical amp requirements (30-amp vs. 50-amp). Pre-booking is highly recommended during the autumn fair season and peak spring outdoor recreation periods.
