Parking in Urban Farm Garden
We loved staying at Phanats garden, it is a beautiful respite from a largely industrial area. It was so lovely to check out the gardens and so many plants and beautiful brick buildings. I would say this hipcamp makes more sense if u have an rv or trailer, tent camping was okay but it did rain and the grounds flooded (which Phanat warned us would happen so no fault to them). We felt very safe and would stay again albiet maybe during a dryer season.

Super convenient stop if visiting Tobasco factory and gardens. Trying to do the trek from NOLA would be brutal. Had 120 volt probably 15 amp ready for me. Unreal garden with vegetables for locals. Super friendly and my dogs could be off leash. Thank you!

We really enjoyed our stay at Phanat’s property! The area is very flat and safe, and appreciated the use of the bath/shower to rinse off. Phanat gave us a quick tour before dark. It is very impressive what he is doing in this part of town to provide fresh food to folks! Loved it and would definitely recommend and come back 👍

Recieved the gate code the day I arrived. Had a great shower and sat in the garden until it got dark. Due to on going travel only met host for a short time, but his set up is perfect. Mini stove allowed me to make hot tea and noodles.

We had a wonderful time at Phanat's property. The gardens are stunning, and Phanat himself is incredibly kind and deeply involved in the community. We had the chance to meet him and learn about his projects, which was very inspiring. The site is well-equipped, felt safe at night, and had everything we needed. There are dogs around—including two on the property who are super adorable and very welcoming :)—so some barking is to be expected. Highly recommended!

I would definitely recommend Phanat’s land! It is truly an oasis in the middle of an urban neighborhood. I am a solo female traveler with a camper van. Phanat is a gracious host. He went out of his way to accept my last-minute stay and accommodate me very comfortably and safely during a severe winter storm advisory. I was able to park my van inside a gated area that also had a friendly trained guard dog named Peanut and multiple security cameras. I had access to electric and complete bathroom facilities. I came to New Iberia to meet Father Michael Champagne of Saint Martinville (jesuscrucified.net) and was so impressed and overjoyed with his mission work in this community that instead of one night, I wound up staying for three nights. Phanat’s Iberia Market Garden is likewise an amazing sustainable homestead that provides fresh vegetables and employment opportunities for locals residents. I truly enjoyed my experience here and left rested and restored in my faith in what we can all do help each other out in our own unique ways. Thank you again and I hope to return soon!

We loved staying at and supporting Iberia Market Garden! Phanat is an incredible and gracious host. We happened to arrive on a full-moon evening and got to participate in a full-moon yoga session hosted at the garden. Phanat has created a beautiful and nourishing oasis in New Iberia. We are grateful to have shared in the experience.

We loved Phanat's amazing and unusual place. It was peaceful and very interesting and waking up in a thriving community garden was wonderfully relaxing and enjoyable. Phanat's enterprise is very impressive and we also loved meeting his dogs, Peanut and Lithy. Definitely worth a side trip to New Iberia.

We booked last minute and Phanat was very responsive. He greeted us at the gate and helped us park and get settled. We flipped the breaker around 10pm and I sent a message and he came right out to help. We parked right by the garden and enjoyed some delicious ripe figs with breakfast. Peanut, the dog, was so helpful and great at entertaining our kids too! The off grid toilet and shower was a nice option to have too. It was an awesome place to stay. We loved that it was a unique place to stay and Phanat was so kind.

We had a wonderful stay with Phanat. His community garden was a wonderful base from which to explore Southwest Louisiana. He and his group of interns were most welcoming and it was a joy to stay here. We extended our stay and will be back when we’re in the area again

This was a fantastic oasis in a quaint town. Phanat and Jen, the grounds keeper, we're friendly and helpful. It was very neat to see aquaponics in action with this community garden.

Phanat's place was a wonderful Hipcamp experience for us - as was meeting Phanat and his colleagues on the property. The garden and Phanat's commitment to his community are awesome; it was inspiring to hear about his process and plans for the future. The site and the amenities worked great for us, and Phanat was particularly sensitive to our small dog, which we so appreciated! We highly recommend a stay at Phanat's to any Hipcampers in the area!

Interesting urban farm project. Parking is a little tight but level. We missed connecting with the owner that day as he was away on business. It's on a busy city street but quiets down at night. It was a pleasant stay that I can recommend.

Great little spot to camp. Only about 20-30 minutes south of Lafayette. The outdoor bathroom was great. I was able to park right next to the electricity and water hookup. The neighborhood is a little rough but with the fenced in yard and a guard dog we felt totally safe. My dog loved playing with their friendly dog and the garden is beautiful. For the price it was an absolute steal and we'll definitely stay next time we are passing through.

This space is a perfect reflection of its host- special in every way! Phanat is an amazing, intelligent example of “it starts with self”. His vision for The Gardens & New Iberia is impressive & a reflection of his belief in humanity. We love, love, loved our stay! Our dog Max fell in love with his host dog Peanut & so did we. We came as strangers & left as friends & inspired people. Many thanks 🙏
Regarding New Iberia: Recommendations sent us to eat breakfast at Victors Cafeteria where pictures on the wall introduced us to a series of fiction books written by a local author James Lee Burke who writes of a character Dave Robicheaux in New Iberia. We were so intrigued with the city we’re now deep into the books.

I felt very safe here as a solo female car camper. Although previous reviews mention the neighborhood being “rough” it is completely fenced in and locked. It is a low-income area but I never felt unsafe. There’s a bio toilet that works well. Wi-Fi only works when you are close to house, not from where you park your vehicle. But they have a little table you can work at. The shower was not working yet so be sure to check in with Phanat if you are hoping to use that while there. There is water from hose available and electric hook up. I’d stay here again. The price is right for a place to safely crash for a night or two. The gardens are incredible!

A lovely HipCamp stay! We came as long time Airbnb-ers and first time HipCampers. We enjoyed our stay with Phanat for all the reasons we love to Airbnb: Excellent and interesting host - Phanat was the best, sharing his work in the community, especially his work with community arts and gardening. He helped us settle and was very helpful about local information (where to eat, where to go to see the kinds of things we were interested in…). He was super responsive to any questions we had during our stay.
The site was level and easy to hook up our electric and water lines.
And, Peanut, Phanat’s white German Shepherd, was a gracious host for our entire visit. :)

The neighborhood is a little bit rough, but the site has a locked gate and Peanut does an excellent job with nighttime surveillance. There was just enough space to turn around our large rig. 15 amp power worked great.

So convenient for visiting Avery island. Parked in a garden with a locked gate so I felt very secure. A super friendly dog greeted me and hung around the garden most of the time (but didn’t bark). Some traffic noise from the road but I slept.
