Weekend Trip to Payne Lane Farms & Campground

Don't use google maps to find the place. Use the mail box numbers. The best thing about this place is the feeling of security. Just across the street is a very nice neighborhood and if you keep walking you get to a huge cross on IH20. The hosts were very nice and accommodating.

1 night at Bayou Darbonne RV lot

Really nice spot, host was a nice guy and was very accommodating. Spot was very private and relaxing. Will definitely be revisiting.

2 nights at Bayou Choo Choo and Bayou Views

Bayou ChooChoo is such a unique stay! It’s in the heart of monroe, but also directly on Bayou Desiard. The dock is perfect for relaxing and fishing. Jen is thoughtful with the special details of the stay, and really makes you feel at home. The caboose is cozy, and has everything you need. I definitely plan to be back.

1 night at Savage Lane Farm Camping

William greeted us when we arrived and escorted us to our camp site. Everything was great and we enjoyed our stay.

Weekend Trip to Payne Lane Farms & Campground

What an awesome place. Small, comfortable, woodsy; an actual farm! Hosts are wonderful and accommodating. I wish I was returning that way so I could stay again. Amanda and Justin are perfect hosts. You will enjoy them and their hospitality. Highly recommend.

1 night at Louisiana Plantation River Bank

The camping area is very large and very secluded. It is mowed grass surrounded by old pecan trees. It is next to a river, but with my bad knees I didn't venture to the top of the dike. Breston invited me in for seafood gumbo and cornbread. I had a great chat with him. I also met his father. I gave him some money for the meal, but I had no problem with that. I would recommend this place to anyone who enjoys southern hospitality.

Weekend Trip to Bayou Choo Choo and Bayou Views

A last minute trip turned into an amazing adventure! Bayou Choo Choo was a wonderful experience. The experience starts when you round the curve and see the red caboose on the banks of the bayou. Climbing aboard transports you back to childhood. The decorations and details will melt your heart and make you chuckle in the same breath. The small space is laid out well and it feels bigger than it really is. Jen has put a lot of thought into the layout uses the small space well. There is a keurig, microwave and a fridge with freezer. The bathroom is small, but I am a big guy and had no issues. The shower feels bigger than it is. Jen was available to help answer questions and even provided some restaurant recommendations. Although we can to watch baseball, we found our way to the Chennault museums, did some shopping and walked along the bayou. Jen was gracious and kind. We reached out to book a place to stay and feel like we made a friend.

Less than two (2) miles off Interstate 20, just behind "Salvation's Cross" in Rayville, LA... Our home was built by Mr. J. L. and Mrs. Gladys Keys in the 1970's. Mrs. Gladys used to work for my Grandmother at the local ladies dress shop. She and her husband often brought us fresh vegetables they raised on their "little piece of heaven." 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. Rayville, Louisiana has great history and heritage and some fun artifacts to explore if you have an adventurous spirit. Good people and family owned businesses if services are needed while enroute-traveling. Welcome! Learn more about this land: Pull thru the front by turning to right of the mail box and not using the driveway! Maybe a little off road, but this is the country and it won’t hurt to just drive thru the yard sometimes. Fresh eggs for sale $3.50 dozen and maybe some fresh vegetables at $3.00 per pound, but ask us as we don't push them. Canning pantry does have inventory for easy meals. Two night max stay. More farm being developed and coming soon! 🍐🍉🍑🍻🐖🐇🐟🐣🐥🐣🐑🐂🫐🍅🥒🌽
