Louisiana Fishing at Tom Bell’s RV Park & Boat Landing

About Us

This was the website of Tom Bell’s RV Park & Boat Landing. Located on the north end of beautiful Lake St. John in Ferriday, Louisiana, the park described itself as nestled in a serene and tranquil environment, surrounded by lush trees and natural beauty.

Its home page promised Louisiana fishing from an RV campground with a convenient boat landing. A variety of amenities were there for a comfortable stay, among them clean restrooms, laundry facilities and free Wi-Fi throughout the park.

Under Our Services, the website said the park’s friendly staff were there to make each stay unforgettable, offering concierge services, RV repairs and more.
