In the agency’s own words
The Day-Use Area which includes the swim beach and picnic tables are CLOSED to the public from Labor Day until Mother's Day, 2025. The group pavilion may be rented throughout the year, despite the rest of the day-use area being closed. To reserve the group pavilion, please call the Calcasieu Ranger District office at (318) 793-9427. The campgrounds at Kincaid Lake are currently closed as a result of hurricane damage. Reconstruction is almost complete. Enlarged campsites, new asphalt roads, water lines, sewer lines, electric lines, curbing, steps, lantern holders, and fire rings are all part of the renovation.

Currently, the Forest Service is waiting on the new bathrooms. No estimated date on when the campground will reopen. The Kincaid Lake Recreation Complex on the Evangeline Unit in the Calcasieu Ranger District, has two modern campgrounds, a group picnic area, and a primitive camping area. Kincaid Lake, a 2,600-acre reservoir, provides the setting for this attractive development. Kincaid Recreation Area provides a wide range of outdoor opportunities including camping, swimming, picnicking, boating, water skiing, fishing, hiking, and bicycling. Trash disposal available. Paved roads.

What you actually pay
Derived by CAMPANAC: the lowest per-night amount the agency’s fee record states ($25), and no booking fee, because this campground takes no reservations. A weekend here means Friday and Saturday night. Optional charges (an extra vehicle, a second tent, a dump-station fee) are listed separately and aren’t in this total.
