"The spot was surrounded by small trees essentially hiding the view of the neighbors. Pretty area with a good hiking trail. Wild pigs hang around, so don’t get close!"
"A good camping state park and far away from civilization. Large sites very private.Good equipments. For being over 65, I had a rebate of 45$...! The closest town is Abbeville, a nice little town."
"Close to the restrooms but not much through traffic. Dumpster was right across next to the bathrooms. Not a lot of street lights throughout the campground made things nice and quiet at night."
"That said, we really enjoy the variety of parks we have in Louisiana for quick trips. Sometimes the forest beckons us and we don't have the time or resources to do the primitive thing."
$27 / night
"This campground is a Louisiana State Park located on Vermillion Bay In the Gulf of Mexico.
THERE ARE ONLY CABINS TO RENT, NO TENT OR RV CAMPING!
This park was very nice but small."
$45 - $65 / night
"Outside of that, I’m sure this park is amazing when there aren’t restrictions in place. There were some full timers there and they were so nice and welcoming."
"Lots of room to walk and a pond. Close to attractions in the area"
"We don’t have little kids and wish it were a dog park but realistic the world doesn’t revolve around us."
$45 / night
"We visited the Tabasco factory on Avery island, took a swamp boat ride in Breaux Bridge, the Acadian and African American History Museums in St."
"New, clean, level, convenient to shopping and dining, great for walking or dog walking, next to huge sports complex but quiet."
"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. "
"It has a lovely pond/ lake that the sites are situated around. It has easy access from the highway."
$35 - $39 / night
"My wife and are traveling for work and found this gem off the highway. Mr. Jason is incredibly communicative and helpful. There are plenty of shaded spots and windbreaks from all directions."
"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"
"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."
TravelerTraveling between TX back to GA was the perfect place to stay overnight and relax before traveling home the next day!
TravelerWe are traveling to Texas from Georgia and needed a nice place to stay overnight. It was very relaxing.
GuideCampground 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.
ScoutThis park is nestled in Abbeville, Louisiana. It is just down the road from Shucks oyster bar and a Catholic Church. It’s pretty quiet. There are a few walking trails, and not much else in the park.
GuideYou may be scared off by the no trespassing signs but there are camp spots where the benches are at, a few spots in the back. I just parked at nature trail for the night because it was much darker. A full moon crispy early Apr night, so the bugs died down by midnight and slept until about 6am with all windows open. Experience backwooda Baton Rogue which is a unique bayou vibe. Would have done 4 stars if I was a shooter or boater, and its a bit of a few mile drive to get in there, roads are dirt but okay for your sedan.
LegendStayed 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.
GuideOkay, 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
ScoutI called them the day of because I was traveling and I got a spot, got a code for the gate. Nice people, quiet
GuideWe 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.
