Note: The turn onto Herbert Ortego Road is a hard turn back to the right. Go slow, turn wide, and take your time. The Galaxy is a small campground with 8 large spots. It's located outside of Washington, Louisiana where there are no city lights and lots of stars and things in the sky. There is 50-amp electricity with full hook-ups at each site. I have a laundry service and a small dog park. Short term and long term are welcomed. The sunrises and sunsets are exceptional here. I have a picnic table and fire pit available for your use. We look forward to seeing you soon!

WELCOME TO BUTTE LA ROSE, THE HEART OF THE ATCHAFALAYA BASIN AND THE HEART OF ACADIANA:
In the early 1930s when the Army Corps of Engineers carved two long levees right through the Atchafalaya River Basin, what had once been a widely sprawling river system prone to seasonal flooding became a fifteen-mile-wide "spillway" contained between those two earthen walls. The water level in the Basin rose by several feet, permanently flooding many areas, and people who had made their homes there eventually moved to communities on the dry, western side of the levee--Henderson, Catahoula, Bayou Benoit and beyond--leaving no trace of the old settlements behind. Only one community remained. Perched on a ridge along the banks of the Atchafalaya River, Butte La rose is the only community in St. Martin Parish that is still located between the Basin levees. No other place can claim to be the heart of Atchafalaya as credibly as Butte La Rose can. The community is nestled against one of the more winding meanderings of the Atchafalaya River, and residents remain closely tied to the river and other nearby waterways--fishing, crawfishing, frogging and hunting, enjoying bayou-side crawfish boils and pleasure boating. So many waterways surround Butte La Rose--Butte La Rose Canal, Henderson Lake, Lake Begneaux, Lake Pelba--it's as close to an island as you can get without actually being an island.
We are only 3 miles from interstate 10 but we are a small remote camping village.
Many hummingbirds visit here every year. They arrive in March and leave in Sept.
Thanks for choosing Kickin' it in the Butte! Contact us anytime for questions or further information!

The Iberia Market Garden is an urban farm on 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.
Learn more about this land:
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. We used to have a white German sheperd "Peanut" but he passed away in 2025. So that's the dog seen in some pics. There is a little dog "Lithium" (terrier mix) that stays on the property and will be out sometimes but generally stays inside the camper belonging to our groundskeeper Jenn.

🌿 Raw Waterfront Escape: Off-Grid at Boggy Bayou
Boggy Bayou Road | Marksville, LA
Ditch the crowded RV parks and the humming generators. This is true Louisiana waterfront camping for those who prefer the sound of lapping waves over the sound of neighbors. Located on a pristine, undeveloped lot, this site offers a rare "blank canvas" experience for the self-contained explorer.
🌲 The Setup
We’ve kept it simple so the landscape can do the talking. You won’t find concrete pads or glowing streetlights here—just the earth under your tires and the cypress trees above your head.
- The Vibe: A flat, cleared area perfect for one camper, van, or rugged truck rig.
- The Perks: A heavy-duty fire pit for starlit cookouts and a picnic table for your morning coffee with a view.
- Water Access: Direct, private access to the bayou for paddling or fishing.
🛶 Bonus Gear & Fishing
We’ve stocked the site with a few extras to help you embrace the "Bayou Life":
- On-Site Canoe: One aluminum canoe is ready for launch.
- Safety Gear: Includes 2 paddles and 3 life vests.
- Angler’s Dream: Bring your fishing sticks and worms! The direct waterfront access makes it easy to go from your morning coffee to your first cast in seconds.
🔇 "Breezy" Quiet Hours
This is a beautiful area with a wonderful natural soundscape. To protect that peace, we ask for Quiet Hours starting at 10 PM. Let the campfire crackle and the bullfrogs sing. If you're playing music during the day, keep it "breezy"—enough for your camp to enjoy, but not enough to disturb the natural peace of the bayou.
🚛 Parking & Ground Care
The closer you get to the water, the more "Boggy" the Bayou can get! To keep the land pristine:
- Heavy Vehicles: Please park any extra guest vehicles or heavy support trucks near the road on the firmer ground.
- The Camper: You are welcome to maneuver your primary rig/camper closer to the waterfront for those front-row views.
- Tread Lightly: If the ground is soft from rain, please stick to the higher ground to avoid creating deep ruts or getting stuck.

genuinely cannot say enough nice things about this Hipcamp. Phanat could not have been a lovelier host — he even shared king cake with me, which felt so special and personal. The space itself was peaceful and thoughtfully cared for, but what really stood out was what he’s building for the community. It’s inspiring to see someone create something so intentional and welcoming. If you’re considering booking, don’t hesitate — jump on the opportunity. You’ll be so glad you did.

If you are visiting the New Iberia area, this is a great place to stay. It is an urban farm with many innovations. In this garden, you can see intensive gardening methods, water collection systems and even bio gas production. So it’s not only a convenient place to stay. It’s a place to learn about unusual gardening techniques.

Thanks for allowing me to you use land to do some cold weather camping, I couldn’t find the camp ground initially but i contacted the owners and Mr Andy I believe his name was.. quickly found me and led me to the camp ground.. he showed me around and told me if I needed anything to let him know.. I picked a area tucked away in the woods.. it was dark and peaceful and plenty of fire wood was available for a awesome fire.. the only slight con is I was awoke out my sleep to some dogs barking I am assuming they were over the fence but they seemed pretty close.. all in all I will be back and I recommend this campground for primitive tent camping

What a great place to stay a day or more and enjoy the property. They grow green leaf veggies, herbs etc there and it is very well organized. The grounds keeper, Jen is delightful and a go getter.
The house is surrounded by flowers, shrubs etc and is beautiful.
Elect is limited to no more than 15 amps, the outlets are 20.
There is some mild local road traffic but very reasonable noise and quiet at night.
It is the best hipcamp we have stayed at.
We thank Phanat for offering his property for a stay in New Iberia.
