"This was our first trip to Lafayette KOA and just our third time camping in our new-to-us travel trailer."
"Be careful though in picking your spots because some are in the way back and have no trees, which could be brutal in a Louisiana summer. Nice playground for kids, mini-golf, and clean laundry mat. "
"Dog park. Laundry was spotless. Crazy Cajuns get rowdy on weekends at the clubhouse. Join them you won’t regret it. If anything watch for amazing sunsets and sunrises!"

"Good location between Houston, Tx and Pensacola, Fl. Nice host and the sites are well maintained. Close to grocery and gas. Lots of pull through sites for longer rigs."
"The dog area is large and has a place to wash your dog. Plenty of trees for shade and they accommodate 30 and 50 amp electric with water and sewer. There is also a dump station."
"While not the best kept up park, the attached nature center, miles of paths, and nearby attractions make this a recurring stop for us. The price is great, as well."

"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"
$45 / night

"Nice RV park in Louisiana. This park has mostly full timers and you slot will be small.
The grounds were wonderful for children."
"Conveniently located near the sports complex for weekend tournaments. Very family oriented!! We will stay again in the future."
"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."
ScoutIts an aight spot to escape the city and not far from Lafayette. I like the grills and covered areas on the beach with the picnic tables. I don't like all the thick black oily mulch like substance in the water, its like quicksand and hard to swim in. This is not a tent camping area so I'm not sure why its listed as such, tents arent allowed here. The entrance fee is cheap.
ScoutThis was our first trip to Lafayette KOA and just our third time camping in our new-to-us travel trailer. My overall impression is that the park is very well maintained, has attentive staff and many activities. We didn’t care for how the sites were so close together. Luckily we didn’t have neighbors to the right of us. Because if we did, their cables and sewage hose would be right outside our door. We had our dog with us so the gravel wasn’t ideal. The tent sites were not located right next to the bathhouse. It’s not a horrible walk, but it’s a lot closer to the majority of the RV sites. They do have a set of restrooms right across from the tents though. We did a little fishing. The ponds were stocked. The water was clear so we could see them, but they were not dumb. We lost a lot of worms, and we only caught three tiny fish. We don’t have kids, but this would have been a great place to take your family. Activities include Mini golf ($), Kayaks ($), paddle boats ($), two pools, pool table in the game room, playground, and a small dog park. We had some strong winds the first night, and our awning ended up getting damaged. I called the front desk, and they sent out maintenance right away to help. The office has a shop with fishing supplies, groceries, RV supplies, and gifts. It’s conveniently located near a grocery store, gas stations, and fast food places. Billy’s Boudin was a quick walk away.There is noise from I-10 and from the nearby train tracks, but it’s not too bad. We’ll definitely be back, but would like to try a different site/area next time!
GuideGood location between Houston, Tx and Pensacola, Fl. Nice host and the sites are well maintained. Close to grocery and gas. Lots of pull through sites for longer rigs. Pool and playground for kiddies. Good size dog park as well. Sites are grass and gravel and are pretty level.
TravelerDon’t let a former bad review chase (pun) you off from this campground. It’s clean and roomy with full hookups for $28 a night. The staff a friendly and helpful. It’s quiet, safe and has a new playground. We don’t have little kids and wish it were a dog park but realistic the world doesn’t revolve around us.
GuideShort stay or long stay?? They are great for either. We stayed for 6 days. Loved the fishing. Love the site. Loved the people. We cannot wait to come back here. Sewer, electric, and water worked perfect. Dog park. Laundry was spotless. Crazy Cajuns get rowdy on weekends at the clubhouse. Join them you won’t regret it. If anything watch for amazing sunsets and sunrises!
RangerOur site was $63 a night for 5 nights & $79 for two nights. We got a weekly rate of $574.16
We were in Site# 2144
The check in was at 12pm and Check out is at 11am.
We had Full hook- up with a concrete pull-through.
We travel towing a 14 foot trailer and were able to fit both in our pull through site along with my jeep.
The site was easy to level.
Our site was fairly shaded with one tree. This was a smaller lot with our neighbors fairly close.
The lot comes with a concrete patio with picnic table and fire ring.
It is an easy access to the campground from highway -(less than 1 mile from highway).
There is free WiFi. They offer Cable TV and there are many channels.
There is not a community outdoor kitchen but do have quite a few community fire pits.
They sell wood but were out the entire week we were there.
They pickup your garbage at your site daily.
You are allowed to ride personal golf carts. They also allow you to rent golf carts. It is beneficial to have a golf cart to get around since it is a large campground. They would not let us use our e-bikes around the campground.
They do have multiple swimming pools including a water playground and splash pad. There is a huge hot tub. We especially loved the 21+pool with swim up bar. Water Amenities are open from March 29th-October 26th. You can also rent poolside cabanas. They have a few smaller ponds for catch & release fishing.
They have a decent general store with some food, accessories, and clothes options.
There is a separate Activity Center for kids. There are tons of scheduled activities for kids like gem mining, tie dying, candle making, candy bar bingo, sand art, etc.
There is a Playground. They also offer pickleball, cornhole, and basketball sport court. There is a Game room for kids. They have a workout room for adults.
There are three bars (one serving food) and a separate concession stand that also serves food.
Right outside of the park is a delicious restaurant/fresh seafood market with a daiquiri drive thru (many flavors).
There is live music on site!
The streets are paved and good for riding bikes. There is not really anywhere to ride bikes outside of campground.
They have multiple RV slip options along with cabins/cottages/villas for rent. Tent camping is not allowed.
They have many shower houses. The shower house has individual bathrooms with your own sink, shower, toilet. These are kept very clean.
There is a few laundry facilities. They allow you to use cash or credit card. It is approximately $2 to wash and $2to dry a load.
They have a fenced in dog park (Barkaritaville) with a dog wash. It is located in the back far corner of the park.
Bugs were a little bit of an issue and bug spray was definitely needed.
There were no trails to hike in the campground but the park is so huge, it is a great walk within itself.
We shopped at the local market outside of the park and the Piggly Wiggly. We went on the Cajun Food Tour and definitely recommend this (link on CM’s website).
ScoutBeautiful grounds and very friendly people. Tons of activities for kids and adults! Pet friendly! And each site is set up great and all the grounds are clean!
GuideSo many employees yet the bathrooms were dirty and trash was on the ground. Many bbq stands were broken and tent pads under water. Otherwise, camp was good. Way off the beaten path, quiet, spacious, lots of water which means lots of mosquitoes. Camp host had pet off leash so rules are not followed. Great discounts for military.
ScoutIt's a decent spot for being nearby to Lafayette. The thing I don't like is the expensive prices for State Parks in Louisiana and the closed gates that don't allow late night entrance. Small man made pond in the back, watched a kid catch a large bass a few years back. The primitive hike in spots are on the back side of the pond so you have to hike in about a mile to rent camp for cheaper than the price of the RV pull up spots. This is a newer state park and it has nice, clean, large facilities with showers and bathrooms. The trail is super short. Overall the park is very small. Fun spot for kayak fishing. Noticed lots of invasive apple snails.
