    Farr Park RV Camground

    Great location

    Stayed Thu-Sun on an LSU football game weekend. Didn’t see anyone at the office- but spaces are well marked for finding the reserved spot. We were in B6- so no real shade- in the late afternoon the only decent shade is on row E. We had good cell signal and were able to stream.

    When we arrived there were very few campers- but the park got a lot more visitors by late Friday. It was still pretty quiet throughout the stay. Many of the “campers” were large class A or Fifth wheels, but there were a few smaller units like ours (17 ft. TT). The spaces are grass which was obviously recently mowed and the driveway is white gravel/rock. We used the back trail to get to the levee to ride our e bikes and went on about a 30 mile ride south past L’Auberge, and then we went on another 10 mile ride north toward the capital. The bike paths are in good condition and there are a good number of walkers/runners/bicyclists/and scooters using the paths. I checked out the bath house and it was clean and well maintained. There were 4 (ladies) showers and 3 stalls. There are multiple spaces for campers to dump, although we needed to use the front spots due to height. We decided to get an early start on Sunday morning and were at the dump station before 8- only one other unit arrived when we were finishing up- there wasn’t a line to wait in for us. We will definitely return to Farr for another game weekend. We really enjoyed our stay.

    Farr Park RV Camground

    Safe and Clean

    Needed a placed to stay in Baton Rouge for a weekend and didn’t want to pay $300 for a hotel so I decided to car camp.

    Plenty of spaces open in April, was a perk to be able to see the animals too.

    Quiet area, well kept. I only paid $10 per night since I didnt use any hookups.

    Would definitely stay again.

    Parkside RV Park

    Very nice campground

    Campground is not very old, new construction. Just off the main highway south of Lafayette. Great spot if going the to Tabasco Factory. Bathrooms were clean with plenty of hooks to Hang stuff. My site was level and backed up to a farm Field; felt peaceful no road noises. They even called me the night before to see when I was arriving, thoughtful. Wanted to be sure I had all the information and codes if I arrived after hours.

    Lakeside RV Park

    Clean, Organize, Friendly Overnight Stop

    Arrived an hour early but no hassle, they were ready. It was raining hard but they lead me to my spot gladly. Bathrooms were well maintained, clean. Little store had essentials and they weren’t overpriced. They are easy in an out from interstate. I only stayed overnight but was a pleasant visit; you use them again. My site didn’t have a view of the lake but didn’t care just stayed overnight. The site was level and easy to back in.

    Maxie's Campground

    Basic and nice

    Stayed here with the Passport America discount and paid $23 for a 30 amp FHU site, so roughly double that for the full price. 50 amp is a bit more. Sites are all back in, and on the freeway, so it’s very loud. The website directs you to book your site online, but when we tried to do that, every single site showed as being available, which didn’t seem right to me, so we decided to just drive to the park first. Office was closed when we arrived (owners were at church), so we drove through the park, found an open site, found that site on their website, paid, and pulled in and set up. Owners pulled up to greet us and welcome us when they returned from church so I guess how we did it was fine.

     Park is very basic, but nice. Free hot showers, nice laundry room ($4 for wash, $1.50 for dry- expensive but the machines are bigger than normal). There’s also a coke vending machine. Dumpster here but no recycling. Park offers free wifi but my Kaspersky internet security didn’t like something about it (doesn’t usually alert me when I use public wifi), so I just used my cell phone hotspot. Good cell service with ATT and Verizon.

    Camp Margaritaville RV Resort Breaux Bridge

    Absolutely perfect

    Okay, if you’re not into a bunch of fellow campers with children, I get that but how can you hate 3 pools with swim up bars, a giant hot tub and a well manicured park? Park really opens April 1 but we needed a taste of summer and we found it here

    Acadian Oasis RV Park

    Nice RV park close to sports complex

    We visited for a softball tournament and the location is perfect, less than a mile from the complex. The park was well kept. There is a small fishing pond so bring a pole. My husband caught a bass. It was stocked with perch as well. The owner was friendly and very appreciative of our business. Would definitely stay again if we are in the area. Verizon and AT&T cell service worked well.
