Old Campground Cemetery List

Sugartown
Old Campground Cemetery was established in 1820, according to the historical sign at the entrance, when this part of the parish was part of the Neutral Strip. Although it is the oldest cemetery in Beauregard Parish, most of the earliest burials are obviously not marked and probably lost. This historic old cemetery lies west of Sugartown off LA Hwy. 112 in the extreme northwest corner of Beauregard Parish. From the junction of LA Hwy. 112 & 113 in Sugartown, go 1.0 miles west on Hwy. 112. Turn South at the first right turn near the Pentecostal Church and continue for approximately one mile. Turn left onto Old Campground Cemeteries Road (unimproved road). Continue past the large fenced New Campground Cemetery until the road ends at the old Campground Church. The cemetery is fenced and to the front of the church. There are only a few tombstones, but a large area inside the fence probably has the unmarked burials of many of the older settlers in this area. Tombstone inscriptions were recorded as approached from inside the front gate from the road to the woods by Jane P. McManus, 18 March 1998.
