About
Red River Waterway Commission campground at Colfax Recreation Area / Lock and Dam No. 3. 25 sites. Drinking water, restrooms, showers, a dump station. Reservations: by phone; no public online campsite inventory located. Run by the Red River Waterway Commission, a Louisiana public waterway authority - not a Corps of Engineers campground, despite sitting at a lock and dam. The commission publishes no street number, so the coordinate is Red River Lock and Dam 3 rather than the campground entrance.
