Shreveport North / Caddo Lake Area KOA General Information

The swimming pool for the Shreveport North / Caddo Lake Area KOA Holiday is located at The Grand Lodge in the West Campground, and it is open from 10AM daily until dusk.  Guests are asked to shower before entering the pool area.  While the swimming pool is open for the most part all year, the pool is not normally heated unless a guest makes special arrangements to have the pool heated, which is expensive due to the amount of propane required to heat the pool (around $500-$900 for a weekend).  While there is a private hot tub available for The Grand Lodge guests only, we do not currently provide a heated hot tub to the entire campground.  Guests enjoying the swimming pool and all other amenities are required to obtain an armband from the KOA Store and sign waivers in order to utilize any amenity.  There are no lifeguards.  No persons under the age of 17 allowed in swimming pool area without parent or guardian.

Any unregistered guest must report to the KOA Store and obtain an armband and vehicle pass, and sign waivers in order to enter the Campground or to utilize any campground amenity.  The Shreveport North / Caddo Lake Area KOA Holiday wants to make sure that all guests, including visitors understand the rules and regulations for their safety as well as the safety of others.   Any person found in the campground who has not registered and obtained the proper passes will be considered trespassing, and any Guest harboring unauthorized persons will be asked to leave the campground immediately.  Contact the KOA Store for pricing of Visitor passes and armbands.

Danny and his wife Jackelyn, and children Levi and Joeli live on the property behind the West campus of the Shreveport North / Caddo Lake Area KOA Holiday.  Danny has been a licensed auctioneer since 1995 and conducts auctions across the United States.  In 2016, he decided to build a small campground behind his auction facility starting out with only three cabins and 8 RV campsites, and opened up Gavel Falls Campground, a play of words from the auctioneer's gavel.  He soon would purchase adjacent property and expanded Gavel Falls, and in 2020 he bought out his brothers in a 53+ acre tract of inherited property left to them by their father, Joe Lawler.  The property, which sits high above the Soda Lake Wildlife Management Area would soon become Lawler's God's Country Mountain View Campground.  Danny had always dreamed of owning a premier KOA Campground and turning God's Country into a destination for campers to enjoy the scenery and atmosphere that only God's Country could provide.  In the fall of 2021, Danny contacted Kampgrounds of America and begged them to at least consider one of his campgrounds as a KOA.  After a site visit, KOA approved both campgrounds and they were converted into the Shreveport North / Caddo Lake Area KOA Holiday with both a West campus and an East Campus (God's Country) with a planned opening date of April 1, 2022.  Danny & Jacky wanted to provide more than just a campground, they wanted to provide originality and an opportunity for families to experience nature at its best, so they purchased Conestoga covered wagons, teepees, duck and swan paddle boats, peddle carts, jumping pillows, and even added barrel trains to their campgrounds.
