**Midway RV Park & Marina is formerly Jones Marina & RV Park. It was purchased in September of 2021 by Randy & Tina Stone. Since the change of ownership, many improvements have been made, not forgetting that this is Louisiana and guests that visit the facility should experience the real Louisiana. This is not a fancy “resort” style RV Park. It is for those not interested in well manicured lawns, swimming pools, lots of concrete, tiny RV sites, crowds, and high prices. It is a Louisiana style country place offering great service and low prices. It is laid-back and clean with owners who appreciate their guests and treat them with southern hospitality. That is the number one goal of the Stones– making their guest comfortable and happy.​**
