How it was placed
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers primitive camping area on Bayou Bodcau Reservoir, Vicksburg District, Louisiana Field Office (Monroe, LA -- 318-322-6391). Corps description, verbatim: "A primitive campground with a gravel boat ramp. There are gravel surface areas for camper or tent camping. No electricity, water or campsite amenities." NO CORPS CAMPING FEE AT THIS AREA. The USACE Corps Lakes Gateway page for Bayou Bodcau Reservoir (https://corpslakes.erdc.dren.mil/visitors/projects.cfm?ID=B400105, read 2026-08-15) flags fee-collecting areas with '$ Corps Fees Collected'. Only South Abutment East Recreation Area and Tom Merrill Recreation Area carry that flag. None of the primitive camping areas do. The Corps' own GIS description of the Ivan Lake primitive campsites states outright: 'This site is free to use.' Coordinate and description are the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' OWN published GIS, not a geocode and not a field visit: Vicksburg District (MVK) feature service Bayou_Bodcau_20200501, layer 20 'Primitive_Camping', https://services7.arcgis.com/jAIyTAA0NX5yFUMp/arcgis/rest/services/Bayou_Bodcau_20200501/FeatureServer/20 queried 2026-08-15. Layer authored by USACE MVK staff on usace-mvk.maps.arcgis.com. This point falls OUTSIDE the LDWF Bodcau WMA boundary polygon, at the north end of the reservoir, so the LDWF WMA access permit and WMA stay limit should not apply and Corps rules govern alone -- but the boundary here is close, so verify on the ground. No potable water is claimed at this site by the managing agency. This is an active hunting area. Check LDWF season dates before you go and wear hunter orange in season. Nearest town: Springhill ~3.7 mi -- STRAIGHT-LINE distance to the nearest OpenStreetMap place=city/town/village, NOT a driving distance. Ingest 2026-08-15. | auto:agency-trust 2026-08-18: state agency GIS record with a source URL and coordinates, confidence not low. Fee value is the agency's own, not field-checked. Not field-verified -- confirm access, road conditions and fire rules before you go.
