Camping near Lafayette guide

Overview

Set up at a tent and RV campground near Lafayette to get away from the city while still having access to everyday conveniences. Enjoy amenities here like pull-through campsites, full hookups, wifi, cable TV, and covered patios with wooden swings and outdoor furniture. For more peace and quiet, snag a rustic cabin rental equipped with bunk beds in town or a private vacation rental offering multiple bedrooms, a kitchenette, and a full bathroom. Cannonball into the on-site swimming pool or rent a paddle boat to explore the lake before heading out to find more camping accommodations in Kisatchie National Forest, an hour and a half north. Hike to a primitive tent campsite or pre-book an RV site with amenities like full hookups, fire rings, drinking water, flush toilets, and showers. Then, trek along the Wild Azalea Trail—the longest in Louisiana— before heading to Kincaid Lake to fish, speedboat, and waterski. RVers can also sightsee while driving to the next destination along the Longleaf Scenic Byway.
