Weekend Trip to PYRAprotocol.com Camp on the Amite

Damon was chill and helped us get set up on arrival. Not really anywhere to swim in the area, but a great place to fish or bring a boat and troll the Amite.

Weekend Trip to Kickin' it in the Butte

This place is amazing! The owners are the warmest, kindest people imaginable. Their property is full of birds, rabbits, and other fun critters. The RV was super comfortable and had everything we needed. Can't recommend this spot enough!

1 night at PYRAprotocol.com Camp on the Amite

Amazing and beautiful. Easy to access and feels safe. The night time was perfect despite rain. The host was easy to contact and we didn’t see him much at all so the sense of privacy was amazing. Overall we loved it and will be back

Weekend Trip to Island Side Barbershop and RV Site

Really neat site in the middle of a swampy area full of frogs and even a young alligator. Bring your bug spray and a sense of adventure! The hosts were so kind and made me feel immediately at home. The camper pad was perfect and felt very private.

4 nights at Cajun retreat Campsite

We really enjoyed our week at Cajun Retreat! Maria & Timmie are gracious hosts with a beautiful property. We much prefer the waterfront view compared to most RV parks. Pull thru site made setup super easy in our 32ft motorhome It's very peaceful at night with only the sounds of owls hooting and frogs croaking down the bayou. The location is close enough to town for convenient shopping, but far away enough to be secluded from the sounds of traffic. You can relax in the Adirondack chairs around the firepit, nap in the provided hammock or swing in the amazing double zero gravity chair swing (our favorite). We can't wait for our next relaxing Cajun Retreat!

3 nights at The Joshua On Hwy 61

Nice private site next to the Sheriff's office. Never met to host but I had all I need on my camper. Very annoying/aggressive rooster on the property.

1 night at Tiger's Trail RV Resort

It was great and gated I felt safe. Well manicured camp.

Weekend Trip to PYRAprotocol.com Camp on the Amite

We had a lovely stay on Damon's land, by the lake and enjoyed a fire. We did not see Damon and could not open his message to us, but the place was easy to find and we figured things out.

Damon’s Campsite is amazing!! It’s in a rural part of Baton Rouge and offers an array of activities and peace! 10/10

Weekend Trip to Kickin' it in the Butte

A really great place to stay. They have a full hookup setup in a nice little hideaway community right off I-10. Scotty and Ginny were so welcoming and hospitable even when I was only stopping by overnight. Wish I could have stayed longer

4 nights at Cajun retreat Campsite

The neighborhood and location is pretty beautiful and quiet. The campsite has a very nice yard by the bayou where most of the noise are birds. So peaceful. The hosts are very friendly and flexible.

1 night at Kickin' it in the Butte

Ginny and Scott are wonderful hosts, friendly, accommodating and a great example of Cajun hospitality. Our stay was incredible!

Weekend Trip to Old River RV Park

It was right on the water, and very peaceful. Just a get away for myself and my wife, no kids. So it was perfect. They have a pool table and washers and dryers and a shower. We had a boat and went out on the river and wanted to stop at Renos on the river, but left our wallets back at camp. It closed by the time we got back up there, but you can access it straight from the river with boat tie offs. So very cool and unique for us to see.

12 nights at PYRAprotocol.com Camp on the Amite

This was the perfect location for visiting friends and family from Abbeville, BR, NO, and lots of locations in between. The site itself is quiet and secluded while only being a few miles from stores and restaurants. And Damon is a wonderful host. He's available through the app if needed. Otherwise he leaves you to your own devices. Perfect! I look forward to my next trip down south

2 nights at Kickin' it in the Butte

Super easy set up. Really great hosts. Would definitely recommend when you’re in the area.

3 nights at The Joshua On Hwy 61

The location on US 61 was very nice, all level campsites plus packed down gravel access road. The front of the campground appeared to be an old roadside motel, but is actually apartments. The campsites were really good, had 50a, 30a, and 120 electrical, water hookup, and onsite sewage, all sites were mostly level (except for 19 & 20, I had to use shims on one side). Plus, A couple of very bright security lights illuminated the entire campground very well. I never met the host. We communicated by text only, and only after I sent him an email informing him we arrived. Please note, there is NO internet or phone service!! There appears to be guest internet service, but it needed a password, which wasn’t provided to us. There is also a laundry room at the south end of the apartment building, and the host did provide the pass code for access. Overall, we were pleased with the location, easy to find. The camp sites were well maintained and private. But, In my opinion, this location is not suited for a long term stay. Picnic tables were all located in the middle of a fire ant infested yard with barely any shade, & campsites are all lined up next to one another-especially if full capacity!

3 nights at PYRAprotocol.com Camp on the Amite

Easy to find nice lake view. Was as described. Will visit again.

14 nights at Cajun retreat Campsite

This place is fantastic! Maria and Timmie will treat you to a wonderful experience. Whether that be a crawfish boil, a boat ride on the bayou or a day out fishing and sight seeing! They were incredibly welcoming and truly amazing people! If we ever come back to Louisiana, we know where we’ll be staying!

1 night at PYRAprotocol.com Camp on the Amite

We had a great stay at Damon's land. Everything went smoothly and we were directly at the waters edge. It's close to the cabin and RV but that wasn't an issue.

2 nights at PYRAprotocol.com Camp on the Amite

We enjoyed our time camping on Damon's land, he had electric cord and trashcan available right at the spot. Nice fire pit, and very easy to find. Thanks for sharing your property!!

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!
