Come out and enjoy my little slice of heaven. 40 acres with cattle and access to a 25 acre lake to fish (restrictions on size and limit) and kayak. Buy feed from us for the fish and cows, buy our local farm raised grass fed beef and all the firewood you can burn. Just starting out on this so no toilets yet, but they're in the works. Access to great clean well water is available

Pelican RV Park New Orleans is a well-maintained, family operated, multi-acre site for RVs, 5th wheels, travel trailers and other campers. Fairly well priced and well managed by a Father and Son team, that's as nice as can be. Smileys Restaurant and Bar is attached and serves strong drinks and amazing food at a great price. Conveniently close to the French quarter. Highly recommend if your trying to enjoy New Orleans. - 5 Star Guest Review

Lush rolling terrain and wide slow creeks are trademarks of the De Soto National Forest. So are kickin’ it in a canoe with a brew while you float down the river, we suggest exploring both! The swamplands here offer ample opportunity for kayaking, canoeing, and fishing on the Black Creek National Scenic River. The primitive camping along the way is hot in the summer, but prime for misty morning photography and inky orange sunsets...worth it! Off-road the Rattlesnake Bay Trail or hike the Tuxachanie trail with your crew for a day of laughs deep in the pines. You can pretty much camp forever here too, so pack up a week or two worth of gear, and really dig deep into what Desoto has to offer.

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 GLOCKNERS PLACE
We loved camping on Ron's property! It was so peaceful and quiet, even with a few people driving up and down the gravel road going crabbing. There were cameras to keep your belongings safe if you left, like we did for a few hours, and Ron supplied everything, including a portable dump tank for the sites that do not directly connect to sewer. There were so many varieties of birds around, and we didn't see one snake or alligator near our campsite, so it is a very safe and large site if you have animals or children who like to play outdoors. We will definitely be back fir another relaxing, get away from everything weekend! Thank you Ron, for being such an amazing host!

Very quiet and peaceful out here. Ron was exceptionally helpful to us when he noticed one of our tires was flat. He pulled out an air compressor and pumped it up good enough for us to get to a tire store nearby where we got the tire replaced. Would definitely stay here again.
