Clark's Cabin in Kisatchie National Forest

Our story

Stewards of Ancient Land

Kisatchie Vista began the way most great things do — with a deep love for a place. Victoria and Patrick Richmond didn't set out to build a glamping business. They set out to preserve a piece of Louisiana that most people never get to see.

The land surrounding our cabins is no ordinary forest. It borders Kisatchie National Forest in the Claiborne area of central Louisiana — a landscape layered with history reaching back centuries. This was land where the Trail of Tears passed, where Native tribes camped beneath these same towering pines. In the 1940s, Camp Claiborne trained tens of thousands of WWII soldiers in these very woods. The history here runs as deep as the creek beds.

"We are Jeepers, equestrians, and outdoor enthusiasts with a heart for preservation. This land chose us as much as we chose it."

— Victoria Richmond, Kisatchie Vista

We are active stewards of this property — maintaining its trails, protecting its creek ecosystems, preserving the 1901 homestead that still stands on our land, and welcoming guests who share our reverence for wild, quiet places.

Each of our three cabins was designed not just to be beautiful, but to put you in genuine contact with this forest. The outdoor theaters so you can watch films beneath a canopy of stars. The barrel sauna so you can slow down and breathe. The trails so you can wander where soldiers once marched.

We believe that the best escapes aren't just restful — they're meaningful. We hope you leave Kisatchie Vista with a piece of this forest in your heart.

Adventures in Kisatchie

Kisatchie National Forest is Louisiana's only national forest — over 600,000 acres of longleaf pine, sandstone bluffs, and winding waterways. Here's what to do when you're staying with us.

Trails

Private trails run directly from our properties. The WWII timber tram trail and creek paths are just steps from Clark's Cabin, while the Bougie Bunkhouse has direct access to 25 private acres.

Loran OHV multi-use trails are minutes away — ask us for directions to the best trailheads for your pace and ability.

Hiking

The Wild Azalea Trail — one of the longest hiking trails in Louisiana at 31 miles — runs through Kisatchie and is spectacular in spring. Indian Creek Recreation Area is just 15 minutes away.

The forest trails wind through bottomland hardwoods and towering pines unlike anywhere else in the state.

Enduro & OHV

Victoria and Patrick are Jeepers and enduro enthusiasts. We'll point you to the best trails in Kisatchie — from beginner-friendly forest roads to technical single-track.

Bring your ATV, UTV, dirt bike, or Jeep. Camp Claiborne is minutes away and has routes for every skill level. We can also connect you with local riding groups.

Biking

The forest road network around Kisatchie is excellent for road and gravel cycling. The Loran trail system also offers mountain biking through the pines — fast, rooty, and genuinely fun.

Ask us about shuttle options and the best loop rides for the day.

Horses

Our horse farm is just across the road from the Bougie Bunkhouse. Book a farm tour or come meet the horses.

Horse experiences must be booked in advance. Limited availability dependent on weather and other bookings.

History Tours

This land carries centuries of history. The Trail of Tears passed through here. Camp Claiborne trained WWII troops in these very woods. Our 1901 homestead cabin is open for guided tours.

Geocaching, historic drives, and guided historical walks are available with a little notice. No digging or artifact hunting is permitted — this is protected land.

Cowboy pool, outdoor movie theater, and glam four-poster bed beneath the Louisiana oaks.

Escape to a boutique bunkhouse tucked beneath towering oaks, where expansive outdoor living spaces meet miles of private forest trails just steps away. This isn't roughing it — this is glamping at its most intentional.

Enjoy outdoor theater nights on the deck with a dirty soda bar, relax on the hanging bench, or gather under the trees around the firepit after wandering 25 private acres of pine forest and open land.

Inside, unwind in a warm, design-forward space with luxe bedding, curated décor, and all the comforts of a cozy, stylish retreat. The glam four-poster bed sits beneath soft, glowing sconces. Quartz countertops elevate the kitchenette. Every detail is chosen with care.

Outdoor Living

Your private movie deck includes a projector, screen, cozy seating, dirty soda bar, and warm lighting under the oaks. The seasonal cowboy pool is one of the most photographed spots in all of Kisatchie. Evenings around the firepit under a sky full of stars are simply unforgettable.

Celebrating a birthday, girls' trip, or bachelorette weekend? You're absolutely welcome here.

Clark's Cabin

⚠ Adults Only · 18+

Kisatchie Vista Solitude — 100+ private acres bordering the National Forest.

Clark's Cabin sits in a quiet corner of the Kisatchie Claiborne area, directly bordering the National Forest. With 100+ acres behind the cabin and forest trails accessible from the back door, this is true wilderness solitude — with designer interiors.

The upgraded outdoor theater with teepee daybed and enhanced sound system is one of the most unique features in all of Louisiana glamping. Evenings here feel cinematic in every sense.

The open-air pavilion is where most guests spend their days — dining, board games, reading in the hanging chair, or morning coffee surrounded by towering pines. Inside the cabin, the full kitchen means you can cook real meals and stay as long as you like.

Outdoor Theater

Your private outdoor theater includes an enhanced sound system, teepee daybed, cozy blankets, and ambient lighting. The DVD projector is included free with all stays. Upgrade to our Movies Under the Stars experience for a streaming projector, surround sound, and gourmet snacks.

The Forest

Private trails on the property connect directly to Kisatchie National Forest, including the WWII timber tram trail. The Wild Azalea Trail is nearby for longer hikes. Loran OHV trails are minutes away for ATV and Jeep enthusiasts.

Outdoor Shower

✨ New this season — an open-air shower built into the edge of the property, right along the National Forest border. This is forest bathing, for real: hot water with real pressure, no shortcuts, under a full canopy of hardwood and pine. Once the sun drops, string lights and solar candles turn the whole space into something closer to ceremony than chore. Rinse off after the trail, cool down from the Louisiana heat, or just take your time under the trees — it's one of those small details guests remember long after checkout.
