As has been mentioned there are a LOT of petro-chem construction projects going on in the area so lots of construction workers in the RV parks. Having said that if you want to stop on the east side of Lake Charles about 40 miles from Orange, you might check out Little Lake Charles RV park / former Jellystone RV park. I have never stayed there, but drive by there on the way to my sister in law's house east of Lake Charles and see they seem to have put some money into redoing the place in the last year, at least fixing up the entrance and actively trying to host events. It is a couple of miles off I-10, go north at exit 36 and take a left on Luke Powers road at the water tower, the road will make a sharp right, then their driveway is at the next corner where the road makes a sharp left.
There is also Jean Lafitte RV park north of exit 36, just a couple of hundred feet north of the previously mentioned turn onto Luke Powers Rd. It is much more no frills, gas station / c store with rows of rv hook ups out back. I would not stay there, don't really feel safe at the gas station, only reason I go in there is all the other gas stations at that exit are worse.
About 1-2 miles north of there there is a nice little parish (county) park on the river with a boat lunch and a few RV spots, rates are reasonable $12 per night with hookups the name is White Oak Park.
There are also a couple of parish parks with RV facilities on the west side of Lake Charles around Sulphur, I can't say much about them as I have not been to any of them in many years. Sulphur is also where much of the petro-chem construction is going on so much higher chances of construction workers camping out in the area.
p.s. if you want some good relatively cheap Cajun food in the area with room to park an RV check out Holliers in Sulphur they have 2 locations, the one on Hwy 108 (Cities Services Hwy, same exit as Cracker Barrel) is just north of I-10 just past Lowes on the right (it is in front of an old K-mart which has been turned into self storage so LOTS of parking options. The buffet is ok, but the best stuff is on the menu, portion sizes are huge. They also have a meat market in the same building if you want some food to take with you.
