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.

Maria and Timmie were amazing hosts! They invited my daughter and me in to there home for dinner! Listened to Timmiie's stories and learned about Louisiana's culture! The spot was perfect, full hookups and fit my 30ft trailer easily! Maria even brought me some Shrimp and Crawfish etouffee (amazing). Maria was quick to respond when I had questions and recommendations! I DEFINITELY stay here again!!

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

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Maria and Timmie are one of the most wonderfull people we have met. They are very welcoming and showed us places that we would not have visited by our own. Their place is extremely quiet. If we ever come back in Louisiana, we will come back for sure.

Camping at Horseshoe Bend was really nice. It’s right next to water. Very serene atmosphere. A lovely spot, if you’d like to get out of the city! Damon was very communicative, which I surely appreciated. If you’re looking for a quiet spot, out of the city but not TOO far, this is the spot to be in Baton Rouge!
