Hello Hipcampers! Welcome to Cajun Country! Click on sites and scroll down to choose our full-service RV hookup space, which may include a buddy site for friends. You may also choose to rent our on-site RV, and we offer a comfortable bedroom with a private bath in our home. Any rental includes one tent site if needed, at no charge. We have options for you. Our location has festivals, Cajun Bands and dancing, Cajun food, walking trails, fishing, boating, kayaking, swamp tours, or tour the process of crawfish from pond to table, bird watching, hunting (including alligator), shopping for vintage, antiques, arts or crafts. 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.

This campsite offers a welcoming atmosphere with attentive hosts who are always ready to help and share local recommendations. Guests frequently mention the peaceful surroundings, often highlighting the presence of charming wildlife like hummingbirds and rabbits. Accommodations are described as clean, well-equipped, and comfortable, whether in the RV or other lodgings. While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, one review pointed out a less-than-ideal interaction with the hosts, which seems to be an outlier compared to the experiences of others.

This is a fantastic place to stay if you're visiting Atchafalaya Basins. The house is comfortable and well-equipped, with plenty of thoughtful details that make a real difference. Ginny and her husband were also incredibly helpful and shared some great local recommendations during our stay. And if you're lucky, you may even be welcomed by a few hummingbirds! Highly recommended.

We had such a nice stay in the cute little trailer! The patio area is a very quiet and relaxing place to unwind and watch the dozen or so hummingbirds that fly back and forth to their feeders, and the hosts were the kind of people you wish were your neighbors back home. I would definitely recommend it.

Lovely little spot! We stayed in the RV and it was perfect for our needs. Comfortable, cozy RV, bed was comfy. If it had not been raining we would have really enjoyed the outdoor patio area also. Hosts were just wonderful! Sooo very sweet. Location was fun! Close to several locations where you can take a great airboat ride! Wish we could have stayed longer. Highly highly recommend!

Ginny & Scott were excellent hosts and spent the evening regaling us on the front porch with info and stories about the local area. Outside areas were well manicured and the porch, bedroom, and bath we used were immaculate, nicely decorated, and well provisioned. We enjoyed a drive along the levee and dinner at Turtles waterfront restaurant

Room with Private Bath at the Butte
Let me preface this by saying I sent detailed messages before booking explaining my need to reorganize my truck, get dishes & some laundry done. 1st impression: wife: She openly admits to forgetting that folks are coming & feeling overwhelmed + forced to open the property yet in next breath saying she wants a bigger property so she can make more $$. Husband: (direct quote) "I didn't retire to become a glorified housekeeper". He also forgets to flush the toilet of the guests 'private' bathroom. Earlier this month I got my 14 ft box truck insulated & had to repack the truck in a hurry cuz of limited time w/contractor. Things were an organized chaos. I opened my back door to: Her: ew your truck is dirty Me: yes I'm here to get it organized & set-up. Her: but garbage?!?! Me: the mason jars? Dishwasher. That pile of clothes? Washer dryer. Her: but it's crowded Me: it's organized chaos Her: gross, you sleep in filth? Me: excuse me?! I'm here to do dishes, clothes, & cedar line the walls. You're rude She tells me it's tacky to empty my lumber in driveway. I tell her it's going under truck. She says I'm disgusting... She finally leaves, comes back tells me to repark... After I'm reparked, I grab things for the fridge then walk inside to put the food away. She's on phone w/ hubby re me calling her rude & I'm 'too big' for driveway...a gross person... When I gave her 1/2 cedar log I had to quell their 'tude things went slightly better, ended told to wash outside truck & vacuum

Wow this wonderful place is not only charming but has so much to do around it. Ginny & Scotty are the most wonderful hosts. Ginny has all information for you when you arrive about restaurants, local pubs, 100 yr old store that was a gem. They have a very level spot with a picnic table, Tiki torches and a very nice porch to sit and enjoy getting to know each other. We cant wait to come back.

Awesome site! Very nice and easy access right off the road. We arrived late at night and were able to drive right in and hookup since the host had provided extension connections for all services. Very quiet location and very well maintained. Hosts were very kind and provided us with printed local information for the area as well as a small gift. Would definitely visit again the next time we are in the area!

Had a good time, it was very comfortable. Ginny was very kind and accommodating, including my requests related to mitigating emf sources. Everything was provided for, including a private ref and insights and tips about the area/vicinity. Its a great place to be outside of a big city and to see some of the water bodies in LA. The bird watching was very cool, and the rabbits too.

Absolutely the sweetest hosts we have ever encountered. We ended up with car trouble just before we hit the campsite and they were so kind and helpful. Upon arrival we recieved a brochure highlighting local history and attractions complete with good recommendations and sites to see, and even a welcome gift. We decided to stay an extra night. Hosts are friendly and kind, site it well kept and peaceful, and the setting couldn’t be more lovely.

Everything went excellent. We were just a quick stop over for the night, but campsite and hosts were outstanding. Greeted by camp hosts upon arrival. I can't say enough good things about camp hosts Ginny and Scott. Thoughtfulness, friendliness is first 2 that come to mind. The Atchafalaya Basin area is beautiful and I would like to make a trip back to explore it, and definatley staying at Kickin it in the Butte again! Scotty is a wealth of information on area and gave first rate guidance in navigating New Orleans.

Ginny and Scotty were very friendly and hospitable. I was on a friend's trip with 3 others. We rented the RV on site which was perfect for our overnight stay. The RV was so cute and had everything we needed. We went to Pat's for dinner and ordered Ginny's recommendation - the crab cakes and the seafood gumbo with okra - Delish! Before the stay, they answered many questions and were even ready to act as a shuttle for our kayak camping excursion on Bayou Berard. I would come back and have already recommended this place to others.

Easy access off the highway. Nice flat driveway with crushed stone. Having electric, water, and sewer hookups right there makes it very desirable. They also have many little touches like a fire pit, a hammock, tables and chairs and an outdoor barbecue grill. Enough lawn area to have your dog stretch out.
