We loved our stay! It was a quick overnight on a long road trip but the animal sanctuary caught our attention!
You do need to make sure you have clear expectations. It's not a typical campground. The family home is part of it and the bathroom and shower are separate but attached to the main home.
Each camp site it private and have a couple different options for amenities depending what you are looking for. From primitive camp to tent provided!
There is an extra sink, counter and microwave accessible as well.
The animals are all over. The dogs are sooooo sweet and lovey. There are goats, emus, turkeys, chickens, roosters, peacocks, horses, cats, dogs.
We did arrive late at night it was dark and despite the very clear instructions for arrival we struggled finding the camp spots. The hosts responded quickly and guided us to our options!
It was an amazing experience. It was quiet peaceful and beautifully dark! We would definitely return!

Wonderful place to see a plethora of animals and a beautiful Bayou! The new addition to the bathroom and shower and kitchen area is wonderful. A wonderful place to get back to nature and a lovely family and animals to support.

Wonderful receptive hostess and family. The entire experience was amazing. Such beautiful property and an extremely peaceful place. I loved all of the free range animal connections, too. The process of reserving the place and confirming was efficient. I would definitely recommend this place. One of my fave places, ever...and I am a road warrior...have camped my way across the US, multiple times, as well as AK an CA

It was good for value but nothing exciting. Kids loved the animals roaming everywhere but the RV powered sites are right at the entrance of the property, little charm. There is only one 30 Amp outlet so if the other site is using it, bad luck. There is no water connecting near by either, hoses are available from the house but we did not feel comfortable to get a use them. Host did not respond to any of our messages via Hipcamp and when we arrived and called to know where to go, the phone line was disconnected. So we had to go knocking. We did not feel welcome really.
Price was good though and it might be an oasis (as describe) when camping a little more in but from the site we had, it was just a parking spot.

Delightful, funky, funny-farm with camping spots on a pond. Horses, chickens, goats, turkeys and a wise old dog are all part of the adventure. We thoroughly enjoyed our stopover on Allyssa’s property.

The natural wetlands of the Snow White Sanctuary were absolutely beautiful! We arrived late (well after dark) but the hosts came out and showed us where we could set up our tent. The dogs were so friendly and came out to greet us. We heard the horses too, but we only saw them in the morning. (Callie, the mare, wasn't too fond of being pet, but she didn't mind being admired from afar :) The only downside to this location is that there aren't really any hiking trails (only one that goes around their property, definitely less than a mile). There was a slight mishap as we were leaving (there are a lot of dogs, mostly rescued, at this location and their neighbors) and some of them got in a dogfight near the gate. But Alyssa came out and it was resolved. The animals are all very tolerant towards people, and I would recommend Snow White Sanctuary to anyone wanting to experience Louisiana's natural wetlands in a peaceful, animal-filled environment!

Alyssa is so welcoming. She and her family have created a lovely experience for both animals and guests. The goat milk soap is fabulous. We enjoyed the friendly animals milling around our camper. This was our 2nd time here and it was just as special.

We loved it! A great price and a safe place to set your tent. Very welcoming atmosphere. NOTE: you will not be without noise from the many friendly animals who share the space (dogs, roosters, chickens.)
But, that’s the atmosphere! We loved it!

The host was extremely friendly. Loved all of the animals. We unfortunately were only passing through on our cross-country road trip showed up at night and then had to leave pretty early in the morning. But it was a really cool experience. All of the animals were friendly. While we were cooking dinner a sweet dog came up to us and then a horse walked past our tent site that was really cool. Shared bathroom which was really nice, and we didn't take showers, but you could take shower if you needed. The host has some cool projects going on the property. Which we kindly invited us to check out.

Was amazing! Kid friendly and just people friendly in general! Tons for the kids to see and do animals galore we really enjoyed having the dogs pop by through out the night the kids loved them. The only thing that bothered us slightly were the bugs, but once we got the fire going we were golden! Easy 5 star experience!

I loved staying at Snow White animal sanctuary. We got to enjoy the property and all the diversity of farm animals and wildlife that are abundant on the land. The property is green, lush and gorgeous. The animals graze all around you at all hours.

This place was beautiful. There were so many different kinds of animals. The pond next to our site was perfect to take my sons out on their row boat. Alyssa was very kind and gracious. We had an excellent experience and definitely plan on going again.

The best family-friendly camping in Louisiana guide
Where to go
Along the Gulf
Head along Louisiana’s coast, where you’ll find recreation areas, wildlife refuges, and, of course, beach campgrounds galore. Grand Isle State Park sits as close to the water as you can get, where RV sites are a fisherman’s paradise.
Follow the Mississippi
If you prefer the river to the gulf, stop in St. Francisville to get a taste of Louisiana’s local charm. The Mississippi River winds through Eastern Louisiana, and you can ride horses, hike, and fish throughout Tunica Hills. The peaceful blufflands house unique plants and animals, so you can birdwatch while cabin or tent camping.
Toward the Texas Border
Everything’s bigger in Texas—but not the Toledo Bend Reservoir, which hugs the border. On the Louisiana side, check out the RV campsite and cabin rentals at South or North Toledo Bend State Park. The area harbors some of the best Louisiana campgrounds, with picnic tables and group campsites. Cypress Bend State Park likewise overlooks the reservoir and offers unparalleled views.
Central Louisiana
You don’t have to head toward the state’s edge to appreciate Louisiana's beauty. Chicot State Park hovers in the state’s central south, with more than 6,000 acres of rolling hills. Within the park, you’ll find trails, cabins, and the Louisiana State Arboretum. There’s no better place to learn about—and see—the state's varied landscape.
When to go
Hurricane season runs between June and November. Save yourself the stress of unpredictable weather, and head to Louisiana between fall and spring. Remember that Mardi Gras celebrations pick up in February, so if you want a peaceful and secluded camping trip, keep the festivities—and their crowds—in mind. Luckily, enough campsites pop up beyond Louisiana’s major cities. You can easily find the perfect campground year-round.
