Weekend Trip to Creekside Farm Co.

My daughter and I had a great time here, catching her first fish in the pond, playing in the creek, visiting with the farm animals. Will definitely be going back!

1 night at Big Branch Apiary

I loved everything about camping here! It was such a unique experience and the hosts were super welcoming and friendly. There are sheep, chickens, bees, puppies, and a beautiful berry farm to wander through. I’m sad we only got to stay here a night while passing through. Will be back to see Cheri and Conway Twitty!

4 nights at Pelican Gardens

Brit was awesome, greeted me and made me feel incredible welcome yet provided independence on the property. Mark visited once to say hi and seemed generous. There was a nice couple staying in the main shipping container unit who I shared a bathroom / showers with. Felt safe and plenty spacious. Biked to the ferry along the levy at sunset and wow beautiful spot!

3 nights at GLOCKNERS PLACE

This was an amazing stay! Will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Creekside Farm Co.

The whole trip was an absolute delight! My son and I both love the outdoors, this was exactly everything we wanted and more. The animals were so much fun to watch. The gardens were beautiful. The hike to the mini waterfalls was my favorite, and my teenage son had a good time fishing. All around and every where in between, one of the most peaceful beautiful places in Mississippi!

I loved how peaceful it was. It’s close to attractions but far enough from the noise.

Weekend Trip to Big Branch Apiary

We had booked a group trip and right off the bat, Cheri & Tim were SO warm & welcoming! They made sure we were taken care of from start to finish (ie. they had an extra picnic table delivered to our campsite because they knew we were a big group). The property itself is so beautiful and full of life. There are berries all over the place and lush fields to dance & frolick in. The farm and all the animals are so much fun and well taken care of too. Special shout-out to the albino peacocks under the apiary!! They caw'd with us in the outdoor lounge all night! I can't recommend this place enough and will most certainly be back for another community trip. Thank you again for hosting us!!!

3 nights at GLOCKNERS PLACE

Staying at Ron's place was amazing!! It doesn't matter how you park, the views from any window are breathtaking! Ron was easy to communicate with and flexible in allowing us more time during our stay. To get here, you will need to drive about a mile on a well-maintained and level gravel road. There is a fishing pier, about 50 feet from where we parked. We caught enough fish for dinner and saw lots of Bayou wildlife. When we visit Louisiana in the future, this place will be at the top of our list. Thanks, Ron, for being an incredible host.

Weekend Trip to Bayou Peninsula

I stopped in for a quick overnight, it was fairly quiet and very picturesque. It was easy to get in and out with my motorcycle, and there was plenty of space for my backpacking tent.

Weekend Trip to Big Branch Apiary

Enjoyed my stay so much last week that I booked another stay this weekend. I cannot say I enough how much I love staying at this property! Cheri is great and every other camper I've encountered is friendly. The Bayou Tent is fantastic and the bed is so comfortable. Being able to sit out front and eat at the table while still being under a shade is wonderful. I love this property and will be back soon.

7 nights at Big Branch Apiary

I cannot count the number of times I have returned to Big Branch, each time discovering something new and pleasant. Cheri and Tim are consistant with their hospitality, allowing guests both privacy along with opportunity to participate with the life all around the farm. The A frame was so lovely! At night you can see the stars, lightening bugs, and hear the hum of the frogs, crickets. It feels very cozy, quiet and peaceful. The two legged, four legged, feathered, buzzing bees and baaing sheep are a weclome site, sound and experience on the farm. Cheris bread is to DIE for, along with the delicious farm eggs and soon to be more and more plentiful Blueberries. All natural and healthy straight from the farm! I'd highly recommend it for a local getaway or travel destination.

Weekend Trip to Creekside Farm Co.

It was beautiful, especially the clear night sky! Would definitely stay again!

2 nights at Creekside Farm Co.

Great site! I got to grill some steaks and slept like a baby. Would definitely return.

1 night at Big Branch Apiary

My family had a brief, but magical visit at Big Branch Apiary. Our host, Cheri, was simply wonderful and welcoming. Our two children, ages 7 and 5, did not want to leave the property as there was so many animals and areas to explore. We’ll definitely return for a longer visit next time.

1 night at Creekside Farm Co.

Beautiful campsite. I wish I had more time to enjoy, but greatly appreciate the spot to crash for the night.

Weekend Trip to Poka Park on Rampart

Great fenced place in an outstanding jumping off point for exploring the city. The French Quarter is a bike ride away, and during the constant event parking prices, the camp itself is the least expensive place to park, as well as stay. It is great for smaller campers.

1 night at Magic River Campground

Great and easy stay! Great host! Nice spot! Easy bathroom and shower. Close to beach…

Weekend Trip to Opal Springs Nature Haven

Wonderful experience! Ashley was wonderful and our stay was absolutely amazing! The camping site was perfect !

Big Branch Apiary

8 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents50 acres · Lacombe, LA

We are a honeybee and blueberry farm on 50 acres north of Lake Pontchartrain. We're bounded by the Big Branch Wildlife Reserve to the south and a Rails to Trails bike path on the north. We are 3 miles from Lacombe to the east, Mandeville to the west, about 3 miles from Fountainbleu State Park, and an hour from New Orleans. Most of the farm is a mixed hardwood forest with designated wetlands. Desert Bayou and East Branch Bayou meander across the property. The farm has deer, foxes, bobcats, owls, fireflies, otters, raccoons, turtles, and, well, about anything common to the wilds of the Gulf South. This includes a litany of snakes, mosquitoes, and deer flies in their season. About 8 acres are used to raise poultry, bees and organically farmed blueberries. Overall, the land feels primordial and pristine. We are a designated Monarch Waystation and in the spring and fall see many migrating butterflies. We cultivate a lot of flowers so almost year round you can see butterflies in profusion. We are part of the USDAs Conservation Stewardship Program, concentrating on protecting and increasing habitat for animals and pollinators. Pets are welcome but the chickens often run free and chasing them, or the deer, ducks, sheep, etc., is not acceptable so keeping your pup on a leash when near the farm animals is encouraged. Campfires are allowed except on rare occasions, and fires help keep the mosquitoes at bay. You can hunt for deadfalls in the woods on the farm, or we can provide firewood for a small fee. This is a rustic situation: think dry camping, outdoor (heated) shower, and outhouses. We have hookups for one small RV or camper close to the barn. In addition, we have a 10x10' treehouse, and several places to pitch a tent. The farm is pretty secure--someone is on-site most of the time, it's gated, and there are security cameras at access points. But it is a farm in a rural community--you may hear roosters crow, sheep bleat, dogs bark, and the mule bray along with the sounds of owls, hawks, coyotes, and other native wildlife. If this sounds like it suits you then come on!, stay and enjoy the farm life.

Creekside Farm Co.

6 sites · Tents24 acres · Kiln, MS

Once a main railway for lumber in Hancock County, this small 24-acre homestead, acquired in 2010, is home to a variety of farm animals, edible landscaping including multiple varieties of fruit trees and small 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 furry and 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. You can fish in the pond for your own dinner and gather eggs for breakfast. Try snacking on farm breads and biscuits with homemade jellies. Depending on the season, picking wild blackberries or some of the farm produce available gives a glimpse into the daily life of living at Creekside Farm. 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. Inquire about homesteading classes and our bi annual homesteading festival. Classes are on Saturday mornings in January/February. The festival is a small but super packed event in the fall and spring each year. You can follow us on FaceBook for more details.

Opal Springs Nature Haven

5 sites · Tents33 acres · Bogalusa, LA

The property is an old homestead recently reclaimed and being brought back to life after many years abandoned. Early 1800s Bulgarian immigrants started a little community here called Stein. The old railroad used to pass through and there are alot of artifacts scattered throughout the property. We are in the process of cleaning up the old cabin built in late 1800s suprisingly still standing. The hardwood forest has a creek running through that is virtually untouched and home to wildlife of all kinds. Birds and wildlife of all kinds have a home here and no hunting allowed. Some trails have been cut and there are some natural trails for exploring the property through the hardwoods and campers are welcome to make new ones. A spring fed pond is great for fishing or just relaxing under the majestic live oaks. If Mushroom foraging is your thing you are in luck after a nice rain. This place had the best of southeast Louisiana and truly is a hidden gem. We are still in the clearing process so there are alot of projects going on but we definitely have some cool spots to pitch a tent. Host is on property in shipping container and willing to make accommodations as needed as we have electricity but are pretty much off the grid.. do not have an outdoor bathroom but could set something up with little effort. Have running water for solar shower or creek bath if you'd rather. Since we are still rebuilding there are some piles of lumber and things that may be unsafe for small children and animals. I have 2 dogs on the property with me but are fenced and friendly. If you have any questions just ask!

Camping near New Orleans guide

Overview

From its jazz-filled French Quarter to its vibrant Mardi Gras along Bourbon Street, New Orleans brims with culture. However, Mother Nature also bestowed “The Big Easy” with natural attractions such as Kisatchie National Forest, Cypress Island Preserve, Jean Lafitte National Park, Honey Island Swamp, and Lake Fausse Pointe State Park. Hiking, birdwatching, boating, and fishing are just a few outdoor activities that are popular within these attractions. Then, tour the Mississippi River by river boat or sail out into the Gulf of Mexico for a day on the open water. Campers will find a wide range of cabin rentals, RV parks, and campgrounds among local wildlife within the national and state parks of the area. Many of the campsites feature convenient amenities like water and electric hookups, nearby restaurants, and on-site supply shops.

Where to go

Jean Lafitte National History Park and Preserve

Named for a French pirate, Jean Lafitte National History Park and Preserve is a Mississippi River Delta attraction that features bayous, fields, and historical areas. Visit Chalmette Battlefield and National Cemetery to learn about the area’s past. Or explore popular park attractions like the Wetlands Acadian Cultural Center and Barataria Preserve to see alligators in their natural habitats. While there are no campgrounds and RV resorts within the park, many options are nearby that feature restrooms, electric and water hookups, and showers.

Honey Island Swamp

Honey Island is a 20-foot long island known as a fisherman’s paradise. The island’s waters teem with bluegill and flathead catfish. The swamp is also home to a wide array of animals, including alligators, cougars, and birds like bald eagles. Tours of the swamp are available for day trippers and most usually last two hours. For those who want to sleep near the swamp, there are also numerous campgrounds with basic amenities like restrooms, a free dump station, and fire pits nearby.

Lake Fausse Pointe State Park

Spread across 6,000 acres, Lake Fausse Pointe State Park is part of the Atchafalaya Basin. Popular park activities include fishing, canoeing, and hiking. There are three hiking trails within the park’s visitor center complex as well as a canoe trail that offers a water path among cypress trees. Wildlife watching opportunities attract many campers to the park to catch glimpses of alligators, blackbears, and white-tailed deer. Then glamp in one of two glamping tents on-site, or set up in a more rustic campsite that offers full hookups and waterfront views.

When to go

October and November are popular months for visiting New Orleans. Temperatures range from the low 70s to low 80s. Campers who want to attend Mardi Gras can visit in February when it's more wet and temperatures dip down to the low 60s or high 50s. Summer temperatures soar into the 90s and are accompanied by high humidity. The hottest time of year in New Orleans is during July. Even so, the city features year-round camping, as many summer visitors like to boat and fish during the hot season.
