Android has one called "Boat Ramps" that's a crowd source version.

Also, for us here, the Mass state website has a good collection of all of the state controlled ramps. Maybe your state DNR might have something??

The Illinois state DNR has the same.
 
In MN the DNR has maps online under "Lake Finder". Many of MN lakes are mapped and are available as PDF's. They also have a lot of other info about water quality, history of fish surveys and stocking, etc. Included on the maps are the public access locations. This is one benefit of our rather high taxes in MN. Don't know if LA and MS have such information available.

It's been my experience that sometimes the locals will remove the "Public Water Access" signs to keep people away from the access sites. I guess they're trying to keep out the low-life like me who can't afford lake property.

I stayed at bridgeside marina a couple times, probably as cheap as you can get. It was not really a fish camp. They sorta have barracks and mobile homes they rent out. The mobile homes are nicer although they both are good enough for a couple guys fishing. Plus they have boat docks, fish cleaning area, bait shop, charter captains at the marina. Closest rigs are about 2 miles if I remember right.

If you know the name of the lake, then use google earth, or even just the name of a town in the area you want to venture out to using the search function, then zoom in and scan the shoreline looking for the ramp/parking areas, etc.
