At Champions Black Bear Lodge, travelers highlight a quiet, scenic setting near nature and Poverty Point, generally spacious rooms, and often friendly staff, making it appealing for a peaceful getaway on a golf course.
Repeated downsides include limited or unresponsive after-hours front desk coverage and very dark outdoor areas that raise basic safety concerns. Facilities show wear: the pool is often murky or unavailable, maintenance issues crop up, pests are reported, and plumbing can be unreliable; some guests also note small TVs and spotty Wi-Fi. Dining feedback is mixed—Champions Bistro dinners can be excellent, while breakfast is inconsistent, sometimes not included, slow, or served cold, and hours vary. Best for travelers who prioritize scenery and solitude over extensive amenities and round-the-clock support.

It is a quant facility as long as it’s daylight. The property is in a unique location (hidden), I think this was initially intentional, for whatever reason. However, safety and security is an issue that needs addressing. Need to add lighting to and around the site. Unless you are back at the site before dark, expect a scary and unnerving drive through dark and unmarked roads to arrive at the site, thank goodness there was a full moon, it’s light helped me a little and I was traveling alone which made it worse. There is not even a street light to turn off the highway to get to the lodge. My room was on the second floor which you have to use outside stairs to get to, however, there was no light by the stairs and doorway, very unsafe. Overall, the room is pleasant except There is no security chain on the door. There was no iron in the room. Didn’t know if one was available at the desk, didn’t have time to check. Security and safety are big issues, however, with this being the only choice for lodging in the area they probably don’t care, but safety should be a priority.

If you are looking for a quiet getaway surrounded by nature, this is your kind of place. Friendly and helpful staff. Two story but no elevator and stairs were a little steep so pack light or build up your muscles. I do wish they had better lighting. Parking lot was really dark and the front door was locked when I returned on a Friday night so had to use the side entrance where there was no light except what was from the pool area and that wasn’t much. Overall I had a lovely stay and highly recommend it. This was my second stay with them. A very secluded spot, in rural countryside so always when driving keep a lookout for wildlife. You may spot deer, rabbits and even bears.

The rooms are very spacious and have a beautiful view. The beds are clean and decently comfortable. This is our second stay here and both times there were massive amounts of Asian beetles everywhere. Every light fixture down the hall and in the rooms are full of them. The couches and chairs could use a good cleaning. Be sure and bring soap for tub and hand soap because they provide neither. The pool was disgusting and swampy green. Needs to be cleaned or drained. There was no ice in the ice machine either.

Room and bedding mostly clean. Room needs updates and repairs. Wall next to shower had mold showing through where it looked like they had tried to repair the wall. There was fresh drywall mud but it had a big spot of mold growing in it and it was damp to the touch. The wall unit AC needs cleaning as we both woke up sneezing and stuffy. The bedding is very nice but the beds squeak loudly and are fairly hard. The toilet was extremely slow to flush but it worked. Vending machine in the hallway did not work. In room coffee pot had a layer of a tar-like substance in the bottom so we could not make coffee in our room. Outside lights by side entrance do not work which makes that entrance pitch black and hard to find at night. Swimming pool water was dark green, of course it was not summer time but it should have been treated and maintained. It was the best choice in places to stay in the area so despite those issues, we’d stay again, probably try another room?

Good: the people working are all very kind and the rooms are clean Bad: it looks like they stopped maintenance maybe 3 or 4 years ago. Unfinished jobs, pool in bad shape, outside light post down, trash outside, lots of bugs in light fixtures. The TV as 20 super small and you have to walk or drive over for breakfast. Side note no breakfast on Mondays :(

The area up to and surrounding the place was beautiful. Room were good and clean and stocked. Must be having drainage problems because the tub took forever to drain from shower. Lights were out on the outside of the building. Didn’t get to swim in the pool because it looked cloudy and murky. The absolute worst part is that someone is not there 24 hours. This would be ok if their emergency numbered for answered when you called it. We went to a wedding next door at the golf course and made it back about midnight. Our key cards no longer worked. We called the emergency number more times than I can count and left voice messages along with text messages with no response. We finally called the sheriffs office who said they would come to help. Finally someone answered the phone after after 40 min without apologizing said there was a master key in the box outside. No microwaves in the room however there is a tiny one at the front of the place.

We did not stay and have not been refunded our money. We entered the room and the entire wall was literally covered with ladybugs and the beds were saturated with bed bugs. The infestation left the room with a musky sweet smell to it. It was enough to make you vomit. We had to reload the car and fight off the visiting varmint from the woods as we tried to do so (bear, bobcat, etc.) The kids were in tears and we had to drive almost 30 miles away to find alternative lodging. Thank God the Holiday inn had a room for us, a clean room. Heed this warning, do not believe the pictures.

This lodge is a hidden gem in the beauty of the Louisiana's countryside. The room was large enough that there was plenty of room to walk between the beds and the walls. For dinner we walked to the recently opened restaurant and were happy we did. My husband and I had the grilled shrimp. It was amazing. As golfers we wished that we would have had time to play 18 holes.

Positives: Comfortable and clean accommodations. Conveniently located near Poverty Point. Opportunities for improvement: Pre payment with Expedia did not show in hotel's records. Reservation paperwork and clerk said breakfast was included. This was not the case. TV screen very tiny and volume locked at very low level. And would be helpful to only display those channels subscribed to.

Also, don't stay in 103. There is a sound coming through the bedside wall every 10 minutes that's loud enough to keep you awake. Know that there is no free continental breakfast.

The included breakfast was very bad both days and cold. When I stayed in June it was much better. The first day my wife and I were the only 2 in the restaurant, and the food took exactly 40 minutes to come and most was luke warm or cold. The older gentleman in the pro shop was not nice, dismissive and unhelpful. The 3 different ladies at the front desk were nice. I gave a guest a cigar and he invited me to play golf with him, but I was unable to because I was leaving.

It is a quant facility as long as it’s daylight. The property is in a unique location (hidden), I think this was initially intentional, for whatever reason. However, safety and security is an issue that needs addressing. Need to add lighting to and around the site. Unless you are back at the site before dark, expect a scary and unnerving drive through dark and unmarked roads to arrive at the site, thank goodness there was a full moon, it’s light helped me a little and I was traveling alone which made it worse. There is not even a street light to turn off the highway to get to the lodge. My room was on the second floor which you have to use outside stairs to get to, however, there was no light by the stairs and doorway, very unsafe. Overall, the room is pleasant except There is no security chain on the door. There was no iron in the room. Didn’t know if one was available at the desk, didn’t have time to check. Security and safety are big issues, however, with this being the only choice for lodging in the area they probably don’t care, but safety should be a priority.
It is a quant facility as long as it’s daylight. The property is in a unique location (hidden), I think this was initially intentional, for whatever reason. However, safety and security is an issue that needs addressing. Need to add lighting to and around the site. Unless you are back at the site before dark, expect a scary and unnerving drive through dark and unmarked roads to arrive at the site, thank goodness there was a full moon, it’s light helped me a little and I was traveling alone which made it worse. There is not even a street light to turn off the highway to get to the lodge.

If you are looking for a quiet getaway surrounded by nature, this is your kind of place. Friendly and helpful staff. Two story but no elevator and stairs were a little steep so pack light or build up your muscles. I do wish they had better lighting. Parking lot was really dark and the front door was locked when I returned on a Friday night so had to use the side entrance where there was no light except what was from the pool area and that wasn’t much. Overall I had a lovely stay and highly recommend it. This was my second stay with them. A very secluded spot, in rural countryside so always when driving keep a lookout for wildlife. You may spot deer, rabbits and even bears.

Positives: Comfortable and clean accommodations. Conveniently located near Poverty Point. Opportunities for improvement: Pre payment with Expedia did not show in hotel's records. Reservation paperwork and clerk said breakfast was included. This was not the case. TV screen very tiny and volume locked at very low level. And would be helpful to only display those channels subscribed to.

Dining
On-site Champions Bistro receives praise for dinner, but breakfast is inconsistent—sometimes not included, located in another building, slow or served cold, and unavailable on certain days; the restaurant or coffee service can also be closed.

This lodge is a hidden gem in the beauty of the Louisiana's countryside. The room was large enough that there was plenty of room to walk between the beds and the walls. For dinner we walked to the recently opened restaurant and were happy we did. My husband and I had the grilled shrimp. It was amazing. As golfers we wished that we would have had time to play 18 holes.

No fridge, microwave or a big enough TV to see :). Front desk was very nice. Breakfast is in another building and has to be walked or driven too.

The included breakfast was very bad both days and cold. When I stayed in June it was much better. The first day my wife and I were the only 2 in the restaurant, and the food took exactly 40 minutes to come and most was luke warm or cold. The older gentleman in the pro shop was not nice, dismissive and unhelpful. The 3 different ladies at the front desk were nice. I gave a guest a cigar and he invited me to play golf with him, but I was unable to because I was leaving.

Good: the people working are all very kind and the rooms are clean Bad: it looks like they stopped maintenance maybe 3 or 4 years ago. Unfinished jobs, pool in bad shape, outside light post down, trash outside, lots of bugs in light fixtures. The TV as 20 super small and you have to walk or drive over for breakfast. Side note no breakfast on Mondays :(

We knew, going in, that there would be no one at the desk between 8pm and 7am, but at the cost for a stay, there really should be. Also, no one was at the desk until about 7:30am. Also, don't stay in 103. There is a sound coming through the bedside wall every 10 minutes that's loud enough to keep you awake. Know that there is no free continental breakfast.

We did not stay and have not been refunded our money. We entered the room and the entire wall was literally covered with ladybugs and the beds were saturated with bed bugs. The infestation left the room with a musky sweet smell to it. It was enough to make you vomit. We had to reload the car and fight off the visiting varmint from the woods as we tried to do so (bear, bobcat, etc.) The kids were in tears and we had to drive almost 30 miles away to find alternative lodging. Thank God the Holiday inn had a room for us, a clean room. Heed this warning, do not believe the pictures.

Room and bedding mostly clean. Room needs updates and repairs. Wall next to shower had mold showing through where it looked like they had tried to repair the wall. There was fresh drywall mud but it had a big spot of mold growing in it and it was damp to the touch. The wall unit AC needs cleaning as we both woke up sneezing and stuffy. The bedding is very nice but the beds squeak loudly and are fairly hard. The toilet was extremely slow to flush but it worked. Vending machine in the hallway did not work. In room coffee pot had a layer of a tar-like substance in the bottom so we could not make coffee in our room. Outside lights by side entrance do not work which makes that entrance pitch black and hard to find at night. Swimming pool water was dark green, of course it was not summer time but it should have been treated and maintained. It was the best choice in places to stay in the area so despite those issues, we’d stay again, probably try another room?
