Cajun retreat Campsite

2 sites · RVs2 acres · Prairieville, LA
My wife and I are native south Louisianians. I grew up fishing, trawling, catching seafood, hunting and skiing in Westwego. My wife grew up near New Orleans eating poboys and beignets. We moved to Prairieville 20 years ago. It’s just over an hour from New Orleans and our Bayou property is very similar to what we were accustomed to in Cajun country, Westwego. Learn more about this land: We own 2 acres of partially secluded property on Bayou Manchac. Our place is a genuine Cajun retreat inside and out. We’re operating one short stay and one extended stay campsite and all 3 experience options at this time;. The site is on the Bayou; great for relaxing, bird and turtle watching, kayaking, etc. (There is a public boat launch if needed) Great place for adult only relaxation or for families. Grassy area with firepit for s’mores, archery equipment, etc. Scenic neighborhood for bike riding and walking. We’re close to Baton Rouge and LSU; also about an hour away from the New Orleans metro area. Authentic Cajun hosts lives in a unique A-frame on the property and can point you to attractions and seafood markets. We are lifelong locals with lots of knowledge of the area! We can interact with you as much or as little as you’d like. We love to cook and often share Cajun meals with our guests!. *Available tours for a small cost; See Experience section for details.

River, stream, or creek camping near Baton Rouge with fishing guide

Overview

The crossroads of the south, Baton Rouge sits near Louisiana’s most exciting spots. New Orleans and the Gulf of Mexico are an hour away—or, head inland for forests and rivers. In town, you can explore the Capitol and paddle the Mississippi River. With rustic campsites and modern RV parks, Cajun Country has an option for everyone. Camp with your horses at the Farr Park RV campground near LSU. Nearby, take guided trail rides or fish in the Mississippi. Around town and on I-10, you’ll find a variety of private RV camping and tent camping spots. Stay online with free Wi-Fi and full hookups. As you drive toward Florida, you’ll find family-friendly camping at Tickfaw State Park. From the tent and RV sites, it’s a quick walk to the park’s hiking trails and water playground. South of Baton Rouge, Lake Fausse Pointe State Park is known for its birding. Stay cozy in a cabin, choose sites with hookups, or go off-grid with canoe-in sites.
