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.
Big rigs should enter using the Silo Road gated entrance. Call ahead and a park staff member will meet you to open the gate that is normally locked. It is located just west of the main entrance, closer to the aviation museum. There is an old F-4 fighter jet outdoor display nearby.
$35 / night

Guide
I think this is a very nice camping area for both RV’s and tent camping, but it does have some minor drawbacks. There is a protected area on the lake within the park that you can launch your boat and they do have two restrooms with showers as well as washers and dryer’s to clean your clothes. Bathrooms in nearly every camping area across the country I’ve been to aren’t exactly up to home standards, but it is functional. The people working at the park have always been friendly and helpful. I like to tent camp and even the tent campsites have electrical hook ups. The truly bizarre thing about that is we are located in South Louisiana where the temperatures are absolutely brutally hot and majority of the year and yet they have a rule that clearly states you cannot have an air conditioner in your tent. And luckily, I didn’t see that the first four or five times I stayed there and no one said a word. Why in the world could you not hook up a portable AC unit in your tent considering electrical hook ups are provided and AC units make nearly no noise? Speaking of noise, the park is located in just inside a 90° curve in the highway with two sets of rumble strips in each direction. Being located practically within the city limits of Morgan city, or noise from traffic and the rumble strips doesn’t quiet down until well after midnight and picks back up again in full force around 5 AM. I couple that with the majority of the people here wanting their trucks to make the most noise possible, it’s a bit distracting and makes sleep difficult. Like all camping areas, people are going to listen to all manners and types of music but that quiet down significantly after 10 PM. my last trip about a week ago I noticed that my particular campsite was covered in fire ants that would start to build colonies within all your camping equipment left on the ground outside and they also built a major ant city underneath our tent that wasn’t an issue until I was breaking down the camp and the ants decided to scatter all over the tent inside and out.  the fishing is fantastic down here and the wildlife is incredible. You will see alligators of course along with rabbits, black squirrels, osprey bald eagles as well as seagulls and pelicans given our close proximity to the gulf coast. The office has people working in it every day of the week and and there is a Coke machine at the office and they do sell 8 pound bags of ice for $2. Overall, I really like camping here and then will continue to do so as long as no one says anything about having an AC unit in my tent as I would not consider staying in a tent in South Louisiana without one. 
TravelerGreat fishing, swimming, playground, walking trails! We had to be in this are for work and so glad we found this lake!
ScoutI’ve been here since I was a child, so maybe I’m biased, but I LOVE this campground.
ScoutNice and quiet. Beautiful views. Helpful staff. Cute ducks and squirrels.
LegendThis is really a great park. Kids love the man made beach. Adults love the fishing and marina. There is a lunch/snack bar. Very friendly people. Great day use area. Picnic area in grass next to beach. Located on outskirts of city but still so close to everything ... Although you don't really have reason to leave. Bring bug spray and sunscreen.
ScoutCampground is well-maintained. Nice little man-made beach and boat launch. Concession stand offering donuts, hot foods and frozen treats on site, as well as vending machines & several pits to do your own cooking. Beautiful cypress trees adorn the landscape. There is also a walking trail & volleyball net for the family, and 2 playgrounds for the children. Really nice, relaxing place for the whole family to enjoy, minus all the fancy frills.
GuideBack in spot right up to Lake Palourde in Morgan City, La. Full hook ups, swimming a beach with canoe, kayak and jet ski rentals. Really nice area for those with or without kids.
ScoutI reserved online at a rate of $40 for Saturday night and $20 per night for Sunday and Monday. I was told at check-in that I owe an additional $40 because the online reservation charged the wrong rate for Monday and Tuesday. In addition to that, the lady at the office was extremely rude. She kept talking over me when I tried to have a conversation about the problem.
She adjusted my check out date so I wouldn’t owe more $, but she’s still trying to over-charge me for one night. Problem not solved.
GuideNice campground. Great place to launch you’re boat and enjoy fishing. There’s a man made beach that’s nice for the kids and a really nice playground. They do have lots of snakes in the rocks along the water that like to “sun” themselves. Also it’s full of gators. So watch your kiddos in the water and pets.
GuideNice with a man made beach. Has a boat launch with access to large lake and bayous. Good fishing from bank or boat. Very nice campground.
Scoutlove going fishing and crabbing from the Wharf.
TravelerGreat place
TravelerThis is a busy weekend park within 2 miles of Morgan City, LA. It sits on the edge of a large freshwater lake and has great views. Many sites appear to be Big Rig Friendly. There are various sections of park to choose from. Easy access to park and paved roads inside park. Includes bathhouses, office area, beach and nice boat ramp with dock space. Not sure of a charge for ramp or docks. The East side of the park is wide open and very easy to access with today’s mega rigs and 5th wheels. A large dog park is walking distance and right along the lakeshore.
LegendStayed in the parkway loop on the water. Very few folks in the off season but nice. Sites are close and there is road noise but we were one of 5 occupied sites and were spaced out fairly well. Great thing about full timing it is you can hit these parks with very few people staying in them. Wildlife and great scenery.
LegendLarge campground and park that has RV areas and tent camping areas as well. There are a few loops in this campground. Some are paved; the further loop where we stayed is not. Our site was right on the water where were could see pelicans diving for fish and other water birds as well.
If you are looking for privacy this is NOT your place. Sites are very close together and we had to make sure our slide did not hit the neighbor's truck side mirror! Also not very quiet. If you don't hear boats roaming around then you can hear children playing in the multiple playgrounds or the neighbor's music playing or overall road noise. It is a good place if you just need a night or if you fish or have a boat I suppose.
Bathrooms/showers are not very convenient and are not very nice. The shower was full of bugs (dead and alive) and though free you had to consistently keep pushing the "on" button to turn the water on for 30 second intervals. Also, you have no choice as far as water temperature. It wasn't too cold or too hot but if you want hotter in the winter or cooler water in the summer, you don't get that option. There was also only one hook for belongings and the door wasn't secure.
There is a laundry room but it was so far from us (in the other camping loop) that we did not go to it even though we picked this place so we could take showers and do laundry.
This campground is convenient and cheap and close to town and the highway but I don't think I would stay here again unless I was desperate. It is nice and well maintained and clean but the closeness of people and the distance to amenities is a no go.
There is trash (no recycling) as well as the aforementioned showers, bathrooms and laundry. There is also a beach area, playgrounds and boating/fishing. There is a fire pit, picnic table and full hook ups at each site for the RVs.
The website is weird because the "off" and "busy" seasons seem opposite and from other reviews they had disputes over the cost, so we weren't sure what to expect, but we paid $20 online for a Monday night and the nice office ladies didn't say anything when we were checking in.

The park is nice and quiet. Staff is nice. The grass and grounds are kept up very well. There’s picnic tables and fire pits. Laudromat is on site. RV spots are large. The playground and bathroom could use a little attention though.
GuideWe stayed here one night passing through and were so impressed with how clean & quiet the place was. Right on the river with a dock, gazebo and fire pit. Sites have full hookups and some have picnic tables. The restrooms & laundry facilities were closed for renovations at the time. Definitely will stay again. Libby (owner) is super friendly and helpful!
Legend
This campground is nice because its super close to everything. I stayed there while I was doing some community service in New Orleans, and it was very convenient. It's about 25 minutes from the French Quarter.
If you're visiting the city, make sure to check out the parks, some cool cemeteries, Jackson square, coffee from Cafe Du Mond, and all the other random stuff there is to do in NOLA.
I also really recommend trying to do some community service if you're visiting. Some of the communities out there are still really devastated from the hurricane, even this many years later. Meeting people out there and hearing some of their stories was really eye opening for me.
RangerThis was a nice KOA near the French Quarter. The KOA offers transportation to the French Quarter for free! It was such a nice perk! The pool is very nice and the sites are clean, level and spacious. We enjoyed our time here. Take time to explore the area. Shopping is nearby.
GuideSmall campground with a pool, laundry, gift shop, and exceptional staff!
LegendVery friendly and helpful staff, close to New Orleans..what more could you ask for? Will be a repeat!
ScoutAs stated in other reviews this KOA is close to town and very convenient. But it's noisy. Traffic, trains, airplanes and construction noise, you've got it all here. Bring earplugs if your tent camping. The staff is super friendly though and the amenities are very nice.
TravelerAlthough a little inconvenient, it is a nice clean park. The staff will help you back into you spot, which are all perpendicular to the street. All the roads to the area are narrow and low hanging wires. Be careful as you approach. Most of the NOLA activities are on the other side of town.
TravelerWe had a great site, excellent shower house and laundry room. Concrete pads. The people here are very interested you have a great experience in New Orleans. They will let you know the good sites to see, from the French quarter to the cemeteries. They were very helpful on us getting our camper backed into our site.
GuideThe spaces are a bit tight, only RV spots have a fire pit. Showers are well kept but the place smells musty. The location can’t be beat and the employees are great. Very safe area and convenient shopping places nearby. Short drive to downtown. Good Wi-Fi, good laundry and dish cleaning area. Would stay again but I wish the small camper area would be more spaced out and have fire pits or grills. Nice little playground and the pool looked good as well.
TravelerStaff were all super pleasant. It’s a KOA so it’s clean and well run. The place is rather small and the RVs are pretty close together, but it’s not as bad if you get the ones that are not on the concrete pavement because the trees provide shade.
Restrooms are clean, and the laundry space is great. Didn’t use the rec room.
Public buses can be used to get into the French quarter
