Big Branch Apiary

8 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents50 acres · Lacombe, LA

We sit on 50 acres north of Lake Pontchartrain. We're bounded by the Big Branch Wildlife Reserve to the south and a Rails to Trails bike path on the north. We are 3 miles from LaCombe to the east, Mandeville to the west, and about 1 mile from Fountainbleu State Park. Most of the farm, 80%, is mixed hardwood forest and designated wetlands. Desert Bayou and East Branch Bayou meander across the property which is home to deer, foxes, bobcats, owls, fireflies, otters, raccoons, turtles, and, well, about anything common to the wilds of the Gulf South. This includes a litany of snakes, mosquitoes, and deer flies in their season. About 5 acres are used to raise poultry, bees and organically farmed blueberries. Overall, the land feels primordial and pristine. We are a designated Monarch Waystation and in the spring and fall see many migrating butterflies. We cultivate a lot of flowers so almost year round you can see butterflies in profusion. We are part of the USDAs Conservation Stewardship Program, concentrating on protecting and increasing habitat for animals and pollinators. Dogs are welcome, 2 of them live here, but the chickens often run free and chasing them or the deer for fun or food is not acceptable. This is a rustic situation: think dry camping, outdoor (heated) shower, and port-o-lets. We have hookups for one small RV or camper close to the barn. In addition, we have a 10x10' treehouse, and several places to pitch a tent. The farm is pretty secure--someone is on-site most of the time, it's gated, and there are security cameras at access points. But it is a farm in a rural community--you may hear roosters crow, sheep bleat, dogs bark, and the mule bray along with the sounds of owls, hawks, coyotes and other native wildlife of the area. If this suits you then come stay and enjoy the farm life.

Glamping near New Orleans guide

Overview

Jazz up a glamping trip with a stop in New Orleans. Book a furnished cabin near the city to enjoy popular New Orleans events like Mardi Gras in winter or the annual Jazz and Heritage Festival held each spring. When exploring The Big Easy, stop by its natural attractions, as well, like Honey Island Swamp, Lake Fausse Pointe State Park, and Cypress Island Preserve. Glampers can reserve a glamping site at Lake Fausse in a canvas tent on a raised platform with memory-foam mattresses, toilets, and sun showers. Or take a boating or fishing trip along the Mississippi River, and then stay the night nearby in a platform tent with heating. Travel a little farther to Mississippi to see De Soto National Forest—full of southern pine ridges and tea-colored streams. After a hike or ATV ride, set up at a nearby glamping sites—options may include A-frame cabins, yurts, and tiny homes with potable water, showers, and flush toilets.
