We spent one night here on 2/28/26. Great little park with full hook ups close to I-10. It's clean very reasonably priced and has pretty much everything you would need. I would bring earplugs since it is close to I-10.

This is an easy campground to stop and stay off I-10. It is so much more than a convenient stay though. The people were amazing and even provided a great breakfast before we got on the road. I will think about those biscuits and gravy until I stop again. 😄

Very courteous front desk staff. Speedy check in. Nice dog park. HOWEVER, they loose a star because taxes are ridiculous. Why do they charge a 3% city tax AND a 2% adjacent city (Lafayette) tax along with a 5% School Board tax? Don't the local residents take care of their schools? 5% state tax is understandable but they should be happy that tourists passing through stay at their campground and n...

Easy in and out. Right by diesel fuel. Hospitality was #1. Great owners. Invited all arrivals to Gumbo supper for New Year's Eve. Clean bathrooms/showers. Quite.

Absolutely one of the friendliest people we’ve had a chance to meet. Great sites and plenty to do in the area. She even let us know how to get to them. Very clean and no trash anywhere. Next best thing to being home
