My wife and I are native south Louisianians. I grew up fishing, trawling, catching seafood, hunting and skiing in Westwego. My wife grew up near New Orleans eating poboys and beignets. We moved to Prairieville 20 years ago. It’s just over an hour from New Orleans and our Bayou property is very similar to what we were accustomed to in Cajun country, Westwego. Learn more about this land: We own 2 acres of partially secluded property on Bayou Manchac. Our place is a genuine Cajun retreat inside and out. We’re operating one short stay and one extended stay campsite and all 3 experience options at this time;. The site is on the Bayou; great for relaxing, bird and turtle watching, kayaking, etc. (There is a public boat launch if needed) Great place for adult only relaxation or for families. Grassy area with firepit for s’mores, archery equipment, etc. Scenic neighborhood for bike riding and walking. We’re close to Baton Rouge and LSU; also about an hour away from the New Orleans metro area. Authentic Cajun hosts lives in a unique A-frame on the property and can point you to attractions and seafood markets. We are lifelong locals with lots of knowledge of the area! We can interact with you as much or as little as you’d like. We love to cook and often share Cajun meals with our guests!. *Available tours for a small cost; See Experience section for details.Stay in a safe wooded area just over an hour away from the metro New Orleans area at a low rate of $30 per night with a 15 night minimum and 21 nights maximum This includes electric (30 or 50 amp) water and sewerage at your site.

Maria and Timmie were amazing hosts! They invited my daughter and me in to there home for dinner! Listened to Timmiie's stories and learned about Louisiana's culture! The spot was perfect, full hookups and fit my 30ft trailer easily! Maria even brought me some Shrimp and Crawfish etouffee (amazing). Maria was quick to respond when I had questions and recommendations! I DEFINITELY stay here again!!

We really enjoyed our week at Cajun Retreat! Maria & Timmie are gracious hosts with a beautiful property. We much prefer the waterfront view compared to most RV parks. Pull thru site made setup super easy in our 32ft motorhome It's very peaceful at night with only the sounds of owls hooting and frogs croaking down the bayou. The location is close enough to town for convenient shopping, but far away enough to be secluded from the sounds of traffic. You can relax in the Adirondack chairs around the firepit, nap in the provided hammock or swing in the amazing double zero gravity chair swing (our favorite). We can't wait for our next relaxing Cajun Retreat!

The neighborhood and location is pretty beautiful and quiet. The campsite has a very nice yard by the bayou where most of the noise are birds. So peaceful. The hosts are very friendly and flexible.
