Parkside RV Park

We stayed 4 nights at Parkside RV and found it to be very comfortable. The bathrooms were clean, the showers reasonably hot, and the wifi was strong. Our site was paved and level and had 20-50 amp hookups and fresh water. The campground manager, Eddie, was very friendly and helpful and gave us some good tips on getting into Lafayette for the Mardis Gras parade (an excellent experience btw) and for a local lunch spot in St. Martinville (the plate lunch special at Joyce’s Market). 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. Martinville, and Lafayette, all within a 30 minute drive of the campground. The price was $45 per night.

New, clean, level, convenient to shopping and dining, great for walking or dog walking, next to huge sports complex but quiet.

If you are looking for a safe, affordable RV park with level sites, you’ll want to stay at the brand-new Parkside RV Park. The staff is friendly, customer service is great and the park clean!

This RV Park is a new build and opened in 2021. You can tell it was built to overcome the obstacles you find at older RV Parks. The spaces are all level, paved, and long and wide enough to fit your RV and two vehicles. The water, sewer and electrical are all new and work! You can reserve and pay for your site online, do self-check-in and the park emails guest about happenings at the RV Park so you stay informed about current events.

The RV Park has free WIFI, dog waste stations, security camera, streetlights and two washers and dryers for guests to use for free. There are four individual bathroom that can be accessed by a code. Since the landscaping is all new at the RV Park, the trees are not mature enough to provide shade. Once the trees grow, it looks like each RV site will have a tree at the back of the site. You are drop off your garbage in the dumpster on your way driving out of the park or set it out by the road and it will get picked up.

The RV Park was built next to the entrance to the St. Julien Park which holds the Broussard Sports Complex and has a gate for guest to walk into the park. St. Julien Park offers bathrooms, free WIFI, drinking fountains, walking trails, dog waste stations, disc golf, catch and release ponds, security camera and several areas for locals to play sports. It’s a very well-kept park!

Something to consider before arriving. You’ll need a long sewer hose; the sewer hook ups are at the very back of the site. No one mans the office after hours. If a storm rolls through, you only have the 4 bathrooms and laundry room area to seek shelter. The streetlights are on all night for safety, if you like a dark room for sleeping, you’ll want to have blackout shades or wear a sleeping eye mask. I don’t know how you get a picnic table, there were only a few throughout the park at RV sites. This is also not a “party” type RV Park. They ask if you drink outside, to do it discretely.

I book this on my way through to San Diego. It was effortless and I was able to check in with no one in the office because they have an online check-in feature. It is a very quiet, maintained, area. Close to Walmart and some fast food restaurants. There's little shade. But lots of room. Every spot is marked with a number and it's big enough for any rig. Highly recommend it.
