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!
