Iberia Market Garden

The Iberia Market Garden is 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.

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.

Your Host Phanat may be wandering around the gardens. Say hi and let's have a glass of wine or cup of tea in the garden. 

Our white German Shepard Peanut loves visitors. Very sweet and friendly. His energy can be too intense for some other dogs though.

Sweetbay Stay


Hello! I'm Matt, and our family includes my girlfriend Olivia, our 6-year-old son, two rescue dogs, and a one-eyed cat. In 2021, we made the exciting decision to sell our home in Lafayette and start living full-time in a camper at our family's countryside site. This beautiful place has been in our family for generations, and we've cherished every moment of our new life, enjoying BBQs, campfires, and breathtaking country sunsets every day.

Now, we want to share this peaceful haven with you! You'll find our spot nestled under the shade of majestic live oak trees, with a convenient concrete slab for grilling and a fire ring for making afternoon s'mores and stargazing after the sun sets. We hope you'll love this place as much as we do.

Our location is just minutes away from downtown Abbeville, where you can savor authentic Cajun fresh seafood at various restaurants and immerse yourself in frequent local festivals. We're also conveniently located 30 minutes from Lafayette, 16 minutes from Palmetto Island State Park, and just an hour away from great crabbing and fishing at Rockefeller Wildlife Refuge.

We can't wait to welcome you here soon!
