Shady campground near Lafayette or Breaux Bridge,La

Going on a short trip to the Lafayette or Breaux Bridge (La) area in August...Looking for a nice and shady campground....we have stayed at "Pouche's" before and like it....just not a lot of shade....Louisiana in August, you need shade!!
Thanks
  • Cajun palms doesn't have much shade, but boy is it easy. 300 concrete level spots that are long. Less than a mile off 1-10 Cecilia exit. Easy in and easy out. Last two times we went we didn't have the same neighbor each day because it is so easy for anyone (especially class A) to drive in, park, set up. Done in like ten minutes with digital cable and full sewer with dump. So they can stay one night, rest and dump sewer. An amazing restaurant next door (crawfish town USA) which will pick you up at your camper for delivery to the restaurant or will deliver food to your RV door. They also have a little store with the restaurant with fresh seafood and a nice little selection of foods. So not shady, but a lot more too.




    We bring our own shade.
  • Cajun palms is a great park but they don't have much in the way of shade
  • Cajun Palms is a very nice campground but I don't know how shady. I believe it is in or near Henderson.
  • KOA would probably be your best best. FRenchman's Wilderness would be a good second choice, it is about 20 minutes from Lafayette. There is a City Park camp ground called Acadiana Campground, but it is not getting good reviews except fot the shade.
  • I stayed at Wilderness camp in Henderson. Great place, plenty of shade. The only drawback for me, was in the mornings a trucking company uses the road to truck wet shells. This puts a lot of white muddy water on the road that is a bear to clean from your rigs. By the afternoon the water is dry and doesn't leave as much of a mess.
