Featuring improved RV sites, some with an extra tent camping pad, Palmetto Island Campground is a fine choice to explore the waters of the Vermilion River. Overnight guests may choose to stay in vacation cabins nestled amongst the trees. These cabins come complete with a full kitchen, bathroom, and screened in porch. It’s the perfect time to kick back in a rocking chair with some sweet tea, and listen to the crickets and frogs crank out their latest opus.

WELCOME TO BUTTE LA ROSE, THE HEART OF THE ATCHAFALAYA BASIN AND THE HEART OF ACADIANA: In the early 1930s when the Army Corps of Engineers carved two long levees right through the Atchafalaya River Basin, what had once been a widely sprawling river system prone to seasonal flooding became a fifteen-mile-wide "spillway" contained between those two earthen walls. The water level in the Basin rose by several feet, permanently flooding many areas, and people who had made their homes there eventually moved to communities on the dry, western side of the levee--Henderson, Catahoula, Bayou Benoit and beyond--leaving no trace of the old settlements behind. Only one community remained. Perched on a ridge along the banks of the Atchafalaya River, Butte La rose is the only community in St. Martin Parish that is still located between the Basin levees. No other place can claim to be the heart of Atchafalaya as credibly as Butte La Rose can. The community is nestled against one of the more winding meanderings of the Atchafalaya River, and residents remain closely tied to the river and other nearby waterways--fishing, crawfishing, frogging and hunting, enjoying bayou-side crawfish boils and pleasure boating. So many waterways surround Butte La Rose--Butte La Rose Canal, Henderson Lake, Lake Begneaux, Lake Pelba--it's as close to an island as you can get without actually being an island. We are only 3 miles from interstate 10 but we are a small remote camping village. Many hummingbirds visit here every year. They arrive in March and leave in Sept. Thanks for choosing Kickin' it in the Butte! Contact us anytime for questions or further information!

The park was beautiful and, as most Louisiana parks do, offers free laundry. The night got exciting when we saw an ARMADILLO! (Not something New Jersey locals are used to seeing every day!)

Awesome primitive camping at the backpacking sights! We loved the setting and the abundant wildlife, not to mention the friendly staff. Definitely recommended for campers looking for a little adventure along with their fresh air.
