No Class A or Class C - No Tent Camping
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!

Serentiy at its best. Peaceful land on old country road to get away from city life, but still only a few miles away if you need anything. You will have 18 acres to yourself if you would like to go exploring. It is so quiet here that all you can hear are your thoughts. Setup anywhere on the perimeter. Will have to bring your own tent.

We can wine and dine you at the plantation dinner table with home cooked Louisiana cuisine (optional for an extra cost) & get you liquored up with mint juleps, homemade absinthe, mix drinks, etc. anywhere on the plantation grounds is acceptable to pitch a tent and make a campfire. we can provide wood, & possible minimal electricity to your camp area for now. there is access to water at the greenhouse area, as well as electricity. the greenhouse is a culinary herb farm and nursery, no smoking tobacco near the nursery and greenhouse area.

William was very communicative. We stayed right near the horses which was very exciting for my 6-year-old! Because no one was currently staying in the rental house on his property he was able to give us access to electric and bathrooms in the house, both of which were very much appreciated!

Loved spending the night at Yoga Barn! Jan is the perfect host. The property is well kept and the facilities are just as described. I particularly enjoyed taking a nice hot shower after a long day of driving and waking up to early morning quiet and only bird sounds around me. I have stayed here twice and it will remain on my list of places to come stay when driving West and back home.

Jan's camping land was perfectly peaceful and exactly what anybody looking for a stop over for the night would want. It's far enough from the university to feel the tranquility of nature, she offers an incredible outdoor shower and a great fire pit to lounge by or cook your dinner over. The bathroom situation was great, and we could not recommend this land more!

The yoga barn camping site was perfect for me. I was traveling through, camping in my car with my dog, and we just needed a quiet, grassy, peaceful, dark at night, place to stay where we didn't have to listen to people's TVs or music in their RVs or their generators. I loved it at Jan's place and highly recommend it if you love peace and quiet with your camping!!

Host Jen was quick to reply to my concerns. She offered a resolution that, though it would have cost me quite a bit more, would have helped me out with a detail I missed in the listing. When that resolution turned out to be unavailable at the last minute, Jen helpfully reminded me that it was my mistake in the first place and honored the original charge with no further inconvenience to the host. I wasn’t able to use the reservation or be refunded, however intend to book these accommodations again when my attention to detail improves! (Thanks Jen for the good advice!) Even as a self-described new host with a recently purchased and expensive property, she is very committed to justice and it’s always so refreshing to meet someone who keeps us on our toes! Policy is policy! Five stars and thank you so much
