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.

They had no children and all these years later, their idea of heaven became ours to take care of now. We are so blessed here at Payne Lane Farms.
You can safely camp in your travel trailer minutes off of I-20 on our wooded, rural lot minutes from town, convenience stores, food, and even dump stations.
The front orchard provides a refuge of shade and privacy while also allowing you to see everything around you.

I stayed at what I think is the best spot—Campsite 2—and had a great experience. The water was beautiful, and the whole area felt peaceful and relaxing. Damon was helpful and let me know where water might collect if it rained. My dog and I weren’t bothered by anyone and really enjoyed the quiet. I’d definitely stay here again.

It was a great little spot to be near the Gulf breeze and sounds of the waves!
The camping areas are well maintained. Nice little path to the beach from the site.
We walked along the beach to Peveto Woods and spent time on the trails- maintained but also somewhat primitive.
It was a great stay, even though we had to leave early because a storm with high winds coming through.
Glenn was very responsive and helpful.
We recommend this spot to anyone looking for a quirky, laid-back coastal experience.

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.

Great host(s)! Very helpful getting me set up and torn down. Shared info about the area I even learned a few helpful camping tips. I would recommend to anyone for a quick stop or a longer visit to check out the area.

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

The perfect spot for a quick sleep on a long road trip! Having access to a toilet was a top notch perk. Very peaceful spot next to the river!

We really enjoyed staying at Renee’s Galaxy. She made sure that we were parked just right for the best experience. We loved staring at the stars and moon. We also enjoyed watching so many different types of birds as well. Thank you Renee for a wonderful experience.

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.

The host (Ginny) was awesome and had everything set to hook up our trailer with ease and no hassles.
We were just passing through on a trip cross country.
The stay was restful and comfortable.

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 Yoga Barn is a great camping site! The provided firewood and fire pit were lovely. The composting toilet and heated shower were pleasant surprises, very well-maintained and provisioned.
Arrival directions were a bit tricky arriving in the dark but we were able to figure it out.
