Once a main railway for lumber in Hancock County, this 24-acre property along Bayou LaTerre, acquired in 2010, is home to a small variety of animals, edible landscaping including multiple varieties of fruit trees and seasonal vegetable gardens.
Completely wooded at the time of purchase, the farm is still a work in progress. Daily farm life involves upgrading fences, clearing the 5-acre pasture, building animal pens, installing rain catchment systems, composting, harvesting, canning, baking and our favorite....... feeding the feathered friends.
Pitch your tent in our wooded acreage nestled along side a flowing creek bed. Relax on the sand and watch the squirrels play or close your eyes to meditate with the sounds of nature. A true primitive camping experience awaits you.
Our goal is to provide an unplugged experience for you to unwind and get back to nature so you can release the stress of everyday and enjoy the nature and serenity of our little farm.

36mi from Mandeville · 20 sites · Tents, RVs
Just one hour north of New Orleans, beyond the shimmering stretch of Lake Pontchartrain, awaits a secluded retreat designed for connection, creativity, healing, and transformation. Luxor Retreat & Wellness Center offers a magical, nature-immersed setting where hosts and guests can gather, celebrate, teach, and rest.
The journey itself begins the experience—crossing the vast lake as the city fades behind you, the air softens, the trees grow taller, and the world slows. By the time you arrive in Kentwood, you feel as if you’ve stepped into a hidden sanctuary.

Awesome place, great sites, and fantastic hosts!!!! The Creek road runs clear "if not raining" and or dogs live the freedom.
It was also my Grandson's first camping experience!

This is our favorite place to be in nature close to New Orleans. The creek hike to the swimming hole is our favorite part. But the kid also really love fishing at the pond and seeing all the poultry.

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.

Great view and allows you to truly camp, many animals talking in the woods and great fishing. Campsites are quiet but noisy in surrounding areas surprisingly.

Best spot around. It supports our desire to be in nature and still have access to fresh water and be in a safe environment. There are friendly dogs who love pats and they got along well with our pup. 11/11 Will return again! - Tom & Elizabeth

I love this camp site ! It’s nice and secluded and the homestead is a lot of fun for the kids and everyone.
The sites are large and the people who live onsite are kind and helpful. I go here several times a year and will always be back.
Thanks for such a lovely stay.

My camp site was very quiet. It was a great site to rest and recoup for a week so I can continue the rest of my journey. Alicia and CJ were very helpful and checked in on me. One purk is they now have a flush toilet which was advertised as compose toilet. 😁

We had a magnificent stay! We booked at the very last second because our previous reservation fell through suddenly - and it was a blessing in disguise!
This property is so big and full of adventures and projects to look at. Special shout-out to the fishing pond!! My friends and I barely know anything about fishing and we discovered a lifelong hobby!!!
The hosts were also incredibly kind & patient & generous with their time/care. From the moment we arrived it felt warm & comfortable.
Also the farm dogs are so so so so lovable. We actually miss them - Mo will play fetch for hours and bring you cool trinkets ❤️

Such a great time! Alicia was a great host. Her husband CJ was friendly from the start and answered our questions. Lovely campground area. Sites are far away enough to feel private but close enough if we needed anything. Bathroom is convenient. Quiet and peaceful, we didn’t mind the early rooster crow and it’s probably not heard unless you’re closer to the animals. We didn’t want to leave. Looking forward to next time! :)
