Best Campgrounds near St. Martinville, LA

221 Reviews

Camping options around St. Martinville, Louisiana include a mix of state parks, RV resorts, and private campgrounds that showcase the region's Cajun heritage and wetland ecosystems. Lake Fausse Pointe State Park Campground offers tent, RV, cabin, and glamping accommodations with boat-in access and hiking trails through cypress forests. Several developed campgrounds like Catfish Heaven Aqua Farm & RV Park and Poche's RV Park & Fish-N-Camp provide water-based recreation opportunities within 15 miles of St. Martinville.

The subtropical climate of southern Louisiana creates distinct camping conditions throughout the year, with hot, humid summers and mild winters. Many campgrounds in the area feature full hookups for RVs, though tent camping options exist at several locations. "This is a wet, humid and buggy area," noted one camper about Lake Fausse Pointe State Park. "Be prepared for damp conditions as you are smack in the middle of wetlands." Cell service varies significantly between campgrounds, with some locations like Lake Fausse Pointe having no coverage at all. Most developed campgrounds require reservations, especially during popular fishing seasons and local festivals. Mosquito protection is essential during warmer months when camping in this low-lying region.

Waterfront access represents a major draw for campers visiting the St. Martinville area, with many sites featuring private docks or water views. A reviewer highlighted that Lake Fausse Pointe has "sites right on the water with our own dock/deck" and recommended exploring the park by canoe or kayak since "the large majority of this state park is water." Mixed-use campgrounds typically offer fishing opportunities, swimming areas, and boat launches. Wildlife viewing is exceptional, with alligators, birds, and other wetland species commonly spotted. Campgrounds closer to town provide convenient access to Cajun cultural attractions, restaurants, and festivals, while those seeking more natural settings can find quieter options at state parks. The combination of water recreation and cultural experiences makes this region distinctive among Louisiana camping destinations.

    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.

    Burn’s Point Park

    Nice area but……….

    Got here in the evening to set up. The area was loaded with huge horse flys. They swarmed immediately after exiting the car. Packed up and left.

    Overnight stay

    Traveling between TX back to GA was the perfect place to stay overnight and relax before traveling home the next day!

    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.

    Abbeville RV Park

    Great little RV park for visiting Abbeville

    This 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.

    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
