We stayed 3 nights at the Holly Beach RV Resort and we were the only one here."

"An army of vampire mosquitos descend on you and your pets. We were enjoying being outside and we had to get into our trailer. Spent a while killing them. Good thing we had walked the dogs."

GuideListening to the ocean waves is relaxing enough. I can hang out here for a week. Is green and spacious. The beach is few hundred feet away. There’s power and water. The site is level. Is sooo nice. Once the sun goes down. An army of vampire mosquitos descend on you and your pets. We were enjoying being outside and we had to get into our trailer. Spent a while killing them. Good thing we had walked the dogs. In the trailer the vampire mosquitos would be sucking on you as you killed them. They would be on you all over. Once sunrise came. They were gone. Even with a breeze they came.
GuideI have camped with friends numerous times at the Pickled Pelican. March 2024 was my first trip with my own camper. The RV spots are all level concrete in excellent condition. There are twelve spots as close to the beach as you can get, with a covered picnic table and grill. There are also 8 spots that do not have the covered picnic tables, across the street from the cabana sites. Four of those are set up to be used as buddy sites where two RVs can park with their camp sides facing each other and have no problems reaching hookups. Water/sewer/electric hookups are all well maintained. The owners are very friendly and helpful. Ice, bait, and some seafood is available in Holly Beach. No convince stores or gas stations thanks to hurricanes. Closest grocery store, gas/diesel, and general merchandise is in Hackberry, 20 minutes north. There is a convenience store a little closer in Johnson Bayou to the West, as well as in Cameron to the East. Going to Cameron requires crossing via a ferry, not always in service.
RangerQuiet and relaxing in the river with a beautiful bridge. Only a handful of sites but full hookups. Very clean camp areas, clean bathrooms and a nice pet area. Bring a fishing pole.
RangerSketchy access for my rig. I’m a pickup truck camper at 10,000 pounds and was very uncertain about getting very far in. Do I didn’t! No facilities Close to Sabine NWR and Cameron Ferry
ScoutLoved our off the grid stay by the pond with goats, puppies, pigs, a cat and chickens!
TravelerWe were able to camp in our camper van right on the beach, the sand is very hard packed, so we had no trouble even in our two-wheel drive.
Unfortunately the bacteria was so high, so you are not able to swim, but the beach itself was really wide and had a lot of seashells to peruse. It is also very dog friendly, and my dog really enjoyed romping around in the sand as we did our long walks.
There are four porta potty is near the entrance, which is nice that a dispersed place has some facilities. There is also a water spigot with a hose for Philips.
So far there's a couple of other camps at the beach, but it is big enough that there is probably 50 yd between each person, which is really nice. I stayed Sunday to Wednesday, so I don't know if it gets busier during the weekends. But through the week, it seems fairy chill
ScoutWe intended to boondock on Rutherford Beach, but we were wholly unimpressed with the area. Spring burning, hurricane devastation, debris - just not a good time for that area. And when the Cameron Ferry turned us down (said the ferry ramp was too steep for our 21 ft Chinook Concourse - we’d rip apart our rear end when loading), we headed to this campground. Oh, what a find! Adorable, quaint and just bayou lovely. Payment online or by calling the parish office. We lucked into the last available site in this 9-site campground. Sat along the bayou on a lovely deck and had a sweet happy hour. Water/electric hookups, dump station and clean showers. For $12! Score!
GuideGreat spot on the Gulf of Mexico. The sites have full hookups and are level, and best of all on the beach. This is not a typical RV park as there are no amenities. As of this date rates are $70 a night. One of the best things is there is a gazebo at the back of the site, with a light. I am from the east side of Louisiana and did not know there was a beach in Louisiana.
LegendIf you like Louisiana Wildlife this is the place for you! I saw a couple of lounging alligators, egrets, snapping turtles, deer, and a chipmunk!!! I was kind of scared when I saw a sign on the trails warning of the gators! As far as RV camping, it wasn't a really nice area. The site we were in was 56, I don't reccomend it. Pretty unlevel and very close to other campers. When it rained, the water pooled on the backside and where the picnic table was. There was a shower house. It was old, but really clean.
