Acadiana Park Campground

This park is a hidden gem! Not advertised enough. One of the few parks in a "tourist area" still only $28/night. It's very laid back but has amenities. Every site has reliable electric and water and though it is an old park and most sites are kinda unlevel they are easily doable. Best for rigs under 40ft. (I would say only 3 sites would be very accessible for bigger) Management, Jared, is superb. If you want to visit the Lafayette area this is the place to stay. Great nature center and trails with boardwalks. Disc golf and audio adapted trails are highlights! Kudos to this park. Don't let showerhouses scare you. They are a little hike to get to but accessible and clean. Playgrounds and things for families also.

Price is great $28.00 a night, it has water hook-up and 20amp, 30amp and 50amp at all sites. Jared is the gentleman who helped us, I believe he stays on-site (but not positive). He gave us all the details we needed. On our trip here, we had a flat tire which caused us to arrive way after dark. I contacted him to let me know and asked if he knew of places that could help us with RV tires. He gave us a couple places in the area. They take great care here. It is next to the nature station with lots of hiking available. The sites are pretty level, no real big rigs will fit here though. Ours is a 23' and the site fits it and our truck. There are play grounds on site, bathrooms/showers with a code and the entrance is gated with a code. We would definitely stay here when we are

Nice campground in a lush setting. Raised walking paths winding through the woods provide great possibilities for exploration. The only downside was an unfortunate encounter with fire ants. OUCH, but not bad enough to knock off a star. This is a great place with a very accommodating and friendly host.

Layfeyette city campground. It's an older campground so some sites are small and far from electric hook-ups but it's quiet and has 9 miles of hiking trails, most along a Nature Center anchored boardwalk. Good security and very well maintained by Jarod, the extremely personable and professional park manager. Jarod gave us options to choose our own site so we could figure out the best space for our tiny T@g boondock trailer. We saw him several times during our stay and he was always ready with helpful information. Campground needs some upgrading but the facilities were always clean and well stocked. Highly recommend for a quiet nature stay. Thanks Karod

A hidden gem! We spent one night here on our way home from Florida. We didn’t expect much, but were very surprised by how clean the park is, how nice the amenities are huge kids playground, boardwalk thru the bayou and nature center, clean yet basic shower rooms and of course huge oak trees. It’s full of Louisiana Acadian character. The friendly park manager Jared, came over to our site and told us how he is on a mission to bring the park back to be the attraction it once was. If you’re passing the area and need a nice, inexpensive ($28) night stay or in the area for some time, I’d give this park a try. BTW- Definitely call ahead as the manager isn’t always on site, but he can arrange for you to get into the park if you call first.
