Hi,
We are from Baton Rouge and we are planning to spend Thanksgiving camping near Natchitoches. We love the Downtown area, and would like to give Mama a break for Thanksgiving dinner.
Please post if you have info on Natch area nice resturants that may be serving on Thanksgiving day.
Thanks in advance!

The Landing (which is on Front Street downtown) is worth a try. While I don't know if they're open, their food is excellent. Try their Natchitoches meat pies !

I saw the post saying The Landing was a good place to eat. We're planning a Thanksgiving trip in 08 to the Natch area and wondered where you ate and would you go back?

Also, where did you camp? We will also be pulling RV's and will need to make reservations. And one more thing, any must do things you ran across? Thanks for letting me pick your brain!!

We did not find anything open.
We camped (dry) at Red Dirt in the National Forest (we are ATV Trail Riders). We had a great time.
We would up deep frying well seasoned and injected chickens, served with a crawfish casserole, homemade mac and cheese, and rice dressing. All served on paper plates around a campfire. It was one of the best Thanksgiving dinners we have ever had. We had recently met other trail riders from Lockport, Louisiana (The Trant Family) and it was perfect.
If you want recipes, let me know at Moderator cut: please contact via direct message - emails on the internet are never a really good idea! and Ill send them over.
We will probably do it again this coming Thanksgiving. We would certainly welcome new friends. (but we bring kids, dogs, four wheelers and a very casual schedule)
Also, a must do is a nice walk, window shopping and coffee along front street enjoying the Christmas lights. The kids loved it, and we found it very, very nice.
