We pulled in this afternoon to find the office locked with no notes on how to contact the owner nor what to do if they weren't there. We couldn't tell where they put RVs as it looked to be pretty full already with most of the park single wide long term owners. Someone drove by and said they'd go get the owner and 15 minutes later they came back and said the owner had been notified they had a customer and would be over shortly. We hung around for another 20 minutes, walked through the park and decided to leave. I give them a zero for not being foresighted enough to have provided contact information or at the very least, instructions on where to park if no one was around. We were tired, hungry and wanted to get settled in for the night, not waiting around for hours. We won't be back. - User3326

We used Passport America discount. Older park, needed grass cut, small sites, friendly people, new bathrooms, showers and laundry. Nice pub within walking distance.(Culpeppers). Would really question ability to handle large rigs. OK for short stays. PA site says fire rings, none seen. - retiredgeezer

We stayed here for 2 nights while visiting friends in area. This is a small city park, gravel sites, grass, FHU, 50A, nice quiet park, friendly camphosts. We were here in fall so there were leaves on the ground as there are a lot of trees. It is close to town & not far from Lafayette. - 2GermanAmericans

Nice little city RV park in Abbeville, LA. We had a great site that backed into the woods. Gravel pad. We're here on a caravan of the Cajun Country and so far this is best park out of 3. Note no restrooms or showers and no tents allowed. If you're self contained would highly recommend this park. Even met a couple fr0m Abbeville who camp here just to get the feel of being in the woods. Would highly recommend if visiting Cajun Country. - smitty12

A nice rural park 1 miles out of town. We walked into town and it was no big deal to get there. The park provides a wilderness feel and the camp host was both friendly and helpful. They have Wi-Fi that was adequate for internet surfing and emails. We would recommend it for a short stay in the area. - gypsy parrotheads

Fantastic find! Very peaceful and quiet country setting. We really enjoyed staying a couple of nights here and seeing the bayou country. Easy to get to, about 1.5 miles off of Hwy 82. No amenities here, but sites are back-in, flat, gravel, full hook-up with great water pressure and steady electric. Open sky for satellite dish and shade trees at the rear of the sites. The owner may be the nicest guy in all of Louisianna! He's not on-site, but will swing by if he knows you're coming (or already popped-in). - Full-Time Roamers

This is a great little park off the beaten path and set in the corner of a pasture. A unique little rustic park with level sites and the perfect location for sightseeing in Cajun country. Ask them about their alternating crops of rice and crawdads and get a tour of the farm. This place is charming and unique. We will stay here again. Rate reflects a Passport America discount. - Mike Neighbours

The owner seemed very nice. We arrived after dark and were not sure which of the two available sites to take as there is no office at the park. We pulled into the field by the park and our tow vehicle sunk into the soft ground. We called the owner and he met us onsite. We should have called him first to get the run down of the best way to get into the sites. After backing into the road and then backing into the park we got into the site. The hook ups all worked very well and the park is very quiet. The park is definitely out of town and there are no bathroom facilities but it was comfortable. We stayed on the Passport America rate. - Sixontheroad

Only stayed three nights but what a treat. The park has an awesome host and she lives up to her reputation. It was pouring rain and she came out to assist me in setting up.

The water drained very fast on the site. We will return for a extended stay. Thanks to the host for all the information on the area. - Brett n texas

It is difficult to rate this park other than excellent because the owner/host, Betty, makes your stay memorable and comfortable even though your site space is limited, gravel and some highway noise. You come expecting to stay a few days and as her song states, "when it's time to leave you want to stay"! The daily happy hours and sharing not to mention the many, many activities available in the area make Betty's a special place. - RJourney

Without repeating what everyone else has said, we will just add that Betty is genuine. She is legitimately and honestly welcoming to all who stay with her. When we checked in, she said "you are coming to Happy Hour at 4:30." It wasn't a question - we were expected! We did attend and had a great time every day of the week we stayed. Betty steered us and others to the best activities. She listened closely to our experiences and clearly intended to share them with others. Even the long-term folks picked up on Betty's attitude. This was the first time we have most of the other park residents come out to say farewell when we departed. Betty's RV Park and Betty is a marvel, definitely worth a visit, which could turn out to be the first of many. We will most definitely stay again if we are ever in the area. - wandrr

The newest park in the Louisiana system, Palmetto State Park is about as good as it gets. I think everyone of it's sites back up to a canopy of tropical vegetation. Nice separation between sites. Two very clean bathrooms with FREE laundry facilities. Abundant wildlife in park. We saw deer, hogs, raccoons, armadillos, and rabbits. Very quiet during the week. Nice biking throughout the park. - smitty12

This state park is one of our favorites. It is a relatively new park that has level, spacious, shaded sites that are somewhat private because of the vegetation that is left to grow between them. The bath houses are always clean, as is the park in general. Kids will love the large splash pad, while the whole family will have fun canoeing the trails through the swamp areas to the Vermillion River. There are several nature trails that pass by three ponds that are excellent fishing holes. Bring your bikes to ride several miles of paved roadways.

The only reason that it doesn't get a 10 is because there is no sewer connection. - DSLACamper

Very clean park. Vegetation between sites. Remote park in beautiful rural area. Nearest state park to New Iberia and Avery Island both of which offer interesting sightseeing. Black bear plentiful in park. - SunStar203

The staff is Incredibly rude, took the enjoyment out of the stay. Park looks good until it rains and then it floods. Water covers the roads. Roads have huge pot holes. Bathrooms appear to be clean but are small and dark. - Articrob

As stated in prior review, park is set back from the road which is a big plus in this industrial area. Also, the side and back have a solid 8' fence enclosing park. Did not use Wi-Fi, but was told it was central down near washer/dryers. Some sites are really big, they have several sites they set aside for overnighters and they were not as big, but OK. - Bob and Inga

We stay here when we are in Lafayette. A lot of work is being done to clean up, trees trimmed so Satelite works on most sites. Close to good food. No pool but who cares I don't come to Lafayette for a pool. If you use Silver Sneakers Snap fitness is about 1/2 miles, I need to work out after all the food. Go to BJ's for a Shrimp PoBoy and fries. You won't be disappointed, about 1/2 mile. - User2314

Spent one night at this park and while the park manager was friendly and nice, will not stop again. Traffic noise was so loud you felt like you were in the median strip on the highway and did not let up until after 10:30 or so. It appeared there were a number of old and abandoned RVs parked there. Since our camper has no bathroom, we had to use the shower and restroom, and they were in bad shape. There was a plunger by the toilets which were not functioning properly, no exhaust fan of any type that I could see for the showers, and not clean. That experience taught me to look at the bathrooms to check them before parking there. - Travellite14

This park accepts Passport America, which is the rate I paid. This isn't a "destination" park, with pool, dog run, kid's playground, etc. I used this park as a home base for exploring the Lafayette area. It is on Route 90, and you'll get traffic noise, but it certainly didn't bother me. While I was there, the owner was having the laundry and bathroom building painted inside and out. He has been working on a solution to bring Wi-Fi to the park, but has had trouble coordinating with the cable provider. He was very accommodating, as I kept extending my stay. I would stay there again if I was in the area. - Betty.Karl

Lots of full timers, but a nice park. So close to Avery Island. Beautiful trees. Cement patio. Site was level. I would recommend this park for those visiting the area, but find another route to get here except 90. off of I10. The road was the worst we have ever been on. Maybe 167 off of I10. Loved our visit to Avery Island. - User2475

The campground is convenient to down town New Iberia, Avery Island, and the Konrad Rice Company mill and store. We stayed overnight, and would probably stay again. A new owner bought the campground 6 months ago and has improved the roads a lot since our last visit. His next project is drainage. It was very wet after all of the rain over the last several weeks, and our pedestal was in the middle of a 2-inch puddle. Grading will do a lot for this. A lot of the people staying there are workers, but after the 5:30 AM rush, It was quiet until we went to bed. - northern ranger

We stayed here to visit Avery Island. The staff was extremely helpful, and even suggested we tour the Conrad Rice Mill (which was fun) and directed us towards a great place for dinner. Looks like most people are long term but sites are kept up well. Pad sites are grass/gravel but fairly level and all hookups worked without a problem. We would stay here again if passing through. - Andieham

Friendly staff and good RV Park. Great Wi-Fi close to the office, and just off highway 90 and 83 interchange. Did not use bathrooms while here, so don't know about them. Spacious and it appears to have some long term residents. Great place to stay to explore New Iberia and Avery Island which are close by. - Legends Of America

This is not a campground, this is a trailer park. We did not see another "camper". The restrooms, laundry facilities, and pool were very dirty. I would not stay again. - bcampbell

Very nice KOA. Easy off the interstate. Friendly, welcoming staff. Nice camp store. Grounds are well kept- nice pond in the middle. Pool area clean and inviting. Sites are level concrete pads but narrow. Motorhome just fit! We were here only overnight and we would come back if we were in the area again. We were very pleased with stay? - KSAM14

Typical KOA. Had a nice spot on the pond. Sites are very tight and we stayed over Memorial Day Weekend -- felt the crush of people on all sides... Did have trouble with a lot of ants -- have spray with you. - Wailea Wanderers

Stayed one night while traveling through state. Very friendly and helpful staff. Onsite RV technician was very helpful getting our broken water heater operational. Facility was very crowded during Memorial Day weekend. Heavy rain after nightfall made it impossible to venture outside since there was 2 inches of rainwater off the concrete pad on the gravel filled site. Pad was just wide enough to accommodate width of motorhome. Would stay here again if stopping for the night. One of the better KOAs we have stayed at. - Time4us
