The Iberia Market Garden is an urban farm on private property and a project started in 2014 to bring healthy fresh vegetables and economic investment to the surrounding low-income neighborhood. The property has had various garden areas added over the years and is a great place to relax and meditate. Proceeds from Hipcamp go toward supporting garden upkeep and operations.
Learn more about this land:
The fenced-in site is in a well lived in, low-income, busy neighborhood of New Iberia. The hosts live in the small brick cottage in front. The property is surrounded by gardens for guests to enjoy. There is a 15AMP regular outlet to plug into and a nearby water hose for travelers to use. We used to have a white German sheperd "Peanut" but he passed away in 2025. So that's the dog seen in some pics. There is a little dog "Lithium" (terrier mix) that stays on the property and will be out sometimes but generally stays inside the camper belonging to our groundskeeper Jenn.

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.

Rayne is proudly recognized as the official Louisiana City of Murals, a title earned through the collaborative efforts of the City of Rayne and the dedicated Rayne Beautification Board. This initiative led to the commissioning of Robert Dafford, a renowned muralist, who transformed the town’s blank brick walls into vibrant depictions of its rich history and its famous frogs. Dafford's artistic contributions extend beyond murals; he has designed sets, costumes, and painted effects for various events, collaborating with a range of professionals from interior designers to choreographers.
In a recent project, Dafford created a mural on canvas for the City of Rayne’s 25th Annual Frog Festival, which will be displayed on the exterior of the

This is a fantastic place to stay if you're visiting Atchafalaya Basins. The house is comfortable and well-equipped, with plenty of thoughtful details that make a real difference. Ginny and her husband were also incredibly helpful and shared some great local recommendations during our stay. And if you're lucky, you may even be welcomed by a few hummingbirds! Highly recommended.

We had such a nice stay in the cute little trailer! The patio area is a very quiet and relaxing place to unwind and watch the dozen or so hummingbirds that fly back and forth to their feeders, and the hosts were the kind of people you wish were your neighbors back home. I would definitely recommend it.

A gem of a little campsite.... I pulled in after dark and was led by hosts to a lighted pathway leading to a bridge over a small coulée... Had the entire site to myself.... a wooded copse full of fireflies and owls...
Negatives would be of course the inevitable and ever-present mosquitoes found in wooded damp areas of south Louisiana... were not however overwhelming... Of more concern were the fire ants.... These South American fire ants are well established in south Louisiana ... there were several treated hills that had been killed but more had come about since this treatment and I mentioned this to the hosts.
I stayed Friday Saturday and Sunday night... I was surprised at the amount of vehicular traffic in the area including four-wheeling kids.... But things definitely calmed down as the night progressed.
Ali will mention the GPS directions are somewhat flawed depending on the direction you take ...Probably a good idea to talk to Ali to get the fine visual points of where to turn.
Overall this was a very nice experience.... very kind and gracious hosts and prices significantly better than some of the surrounding choices for hip camping

genuinely cannot say enough nice things about this Hipcamp. Phanat could not have been a lovelier host — he even shared king cake with me, which felt so special and personal. The space itself was peaceful and thoughtfully cared for, but what really stood out was what he’s building for the community. It’s inspiring to see someone create something so intentional and welcoming. If you’re considering booking, don’t hesitate — jump on the opportunity. You’ll be so glad you did.
