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.

Great place

We had a very warm welcome by Maria and Timmie with plenty of kindness and a delicious crayfish soup. The only thing we regret is that we arrive late and depart soon the next morning. Definitely a place where you have to settle a few days. Many thanks Maria and Timmie

Idyllic spot!

My only regret is that I couldn’t stay longer at Maria & Timmie’s gorgeous “Cajun Retreat.” It is a beautiful, peaceful spot for an overnight or extended stay. Maria & Jimmie couldn’t be nicer and more helpful as hosts. I’ve already put the “Cajun Retreat” on my list for next year’s road trip. Don’t miss it!

Extended stay at Cajun Retreat

Feel the real Cajun spirit

Maria and Timmie are truly welcoming and generous hosts. They reflect the Cajun mentality very well and love to share it with their guests. The place is very quiet, safe and the view of the bayou is really perfect. We loved our stay here and will definitely come back if we ever visit Louisiana again!

Maria and Timmie are wonderful people with a very cute setup for your camping needs. They are accommodating and have a beautiful river view. We even saw some cows grazing!
