We jug fished for our breakfast, lunch and dinner. We were very successful. We caught 2 alligator gars (one being 6' long 100#s) 1 Needle gars, 12+ catfish, 24+ crabs. It was opening weekend of squirrel season, so our guide provided some for dinner. We frogged for hours and caught 20+ by hand. It was epic. We are sitting in a restaurant FRESH off the boat / Bayou, we are already planning our return!!!!

As it turns out, we were in for a wonderful experience! Our hosts, Stafford and his wife Belinda, were excellent. We felt so welcome and had a great time experiencing the swamp. We stayed in one apartment-like houseboat, with two bedrooms with bunk beds (queen on bottom, full in the middle, twin on top), one bathroom, and a spacious combined living/dining area. Our hosts stayed in a separate "apartment." The two were connected by a screened in porch, where we spent most of our time when we weren't out on the swamp. I don't think I even sat down once on the couch in our apartment. We drank coffee outside in the morning, meals were cooked out there, and we all enjoyed drinks out there in the evening. The highlights of our stay were the times we spent out on the swamp. We went out looking for frogs, checking crawfish traps, and just cruising around. The water was high when we were there, so there was a lot to see! We saw many alligators, lots of frogs, bald eagles, nutria rats, and more. If you're into wildlife or birds, this is a great place to be. The swamp was a social place when we were there, so friends and family stopped by, and everyone we met was friendly and interesting. We had a lot of questions and everyone patiently answered them! It was fascinating to learn about how people live on and near the swamp. Our hosts had coffee ready every morning when we woke up, provided bottled water and ice, and cooked breakfast and dinner for us. We had eggs, bacon and beignets (donuts) for breakfast, catfish boil, wild boar and rice, fried crawfish, catfish, frog legs and gar balls, "pasta-laya" (aka jambalaya pasta), and cajun white beans. Everything was great and we ate way, way, too much, but had no regrets! As a bonus, they let us take the leftovers with us. :) I imagine if you're considering staying here, you're feeling adventurous, so I recommend taking advantage of all that's offered - see the swamp, enjoy the delicious cajun meals, and get to know the hosts. It's totally worth it! Our only regret is we didn't plan to spend more of our vacation with Cajun Experiences.

Established in 1942, and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999, the most-visited park in Louisiana has nature trails, a sandy beach, a new, all-inclusive playground, a splash pad, and the ruins of an 1829 sugar mill situated among towering oaks. Love there is An all-terrain track wheelchair is available for use by visitors with limited mobility. Win win for everyone.

Huge beautiful park! A real treasure find for this Alaskan!…read more Took the Sugar Mill trail which is a nice, wide gravel trail. Very easy to traverse for just about anyone. Some walked while some biked. Sugar Mill is a looping trail about a mile long. The alligator boardwalk trail was closed, likely due to damage from Ida and hasn't been repaired yet. There was another trail, but we did not take it. The massive cypress are just awesome! The Spanish moss slowly wavering in the air as you walk underneath these giants is just captivating to me! We did not encounter any creatures except squirrels and a male Orchard Orbweaver and his impressive web. Sooo much space and things to do here we didn't even do all of it. There's big open fields for playing, a playground, tons of parking available. I did see the pier and water of Lake Pontchartrain in the distance, but we were too hungry to keep exploring lol $3 per person to enter the park - 100% worth it

That seemed perfectly reasonable to us. Discounts offered for members of travel associations like AAA, and several others I don't remember. The owner is a friendly man named Curtis who several guests described as very helpful. He wasn't around when we pulled in, but there are envelopes and instructions on site. Basically you fill out your standard info, put the cash or check into the envelope and drop it through the hole in the door. Spaces are pick-your-own based, and make yourself at home. We loved it. It's located a little farther away from the French Quarter, in a neighborhood that is clearly a bit tired but we felt plenty safe, and our Lyft was well under $20 at all times of the day (only $15 for us), and it's quiet here. The spaces are basic slabs and a pedestal with 30 and 50 amp options. There is grass between the slabs, and a few shady trees about, but expect to be in the sun. I'm giving 5 stars because although it's a little tired and off the beaten path, it was clean, quiet, AFFORDABLE, and exactly what we needed. Plus, pretty much everything wrong can be fixed with a truckload of gravel (secure your loose stuff well). I don't know when we will be back, but we will come right back here when it happens. Thanks, Curtis!!!
