      We are a small (14 spots) locally owned and operated rv park right on the Atchafalaya River. My name is Leonard Price, owner and operator of Cajun Country Rv Park. I’m a local, and I live here on site. We have a beautiful and unique location here that was once three different commercial fishing docks. Before that, it was the site of a Union Army Fort built in 1863 to defend the island from invading rebel forces ( the Mosquito Fleet). Right across from the mouth of Bayou Teche, it was a strategic location that could also defend the river pass to the North.

      We welcome you here for your stay with us. I am around every day, so feel free to come and talk, or ask about the local area.
