An excellent Hipcamp stop!
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.

Phanat and all residents are the property were great. The bathroom facility was better than expected, and the fended in yard was great with friendly dogs to play with. I felt comfortable and at home and highly recommend.

Sanctuary in the City
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.
