Camping on the Bayou

07/30/2026

Did you know the St. Martinville Festival Grounds is gearing up to host some of Acadiana's most exciting events this fall?

From live Cajun music and incredible local food to pig races, canoe races on Bayou Teche, the World's Longest Soul Train Line, arts and crafts, family activities, and more, there's always something happening that brings visitors from across Louisiana and beyond.

If you're planning to attend an upcoming festival, why drive home when you can make it a weekend getaway?

Camping on the Bayou offers convenient RV camping just steps away from the St. Martinville Festival Grounds. Spend the day enjoying the festivities, then unwind each evening along beautiful Bayou Teche in a peaceful, private setting.

Reserve your campsite early for festival weekends and enjoy the perfect combination of Cajun culture, outdoor recreation, and relaxing bayou camping.

We've made some exciting changes at Camping On The Bayou to finish the rest of the year with tons of laughs and good times.

We're now offering 3 night weekend stays from Friday through Monday so you can enjoy more time relaxing along Bayou Teche without feeling rushed.

You can choose between two experiences.

Bayou Privé Weekend gives you exclusive use of the entire property for the weekend. It's a great option for couples, families, small groups, and special occasions.

Bayou Partagé Weekend offers a peaceful semi private stay where a limited number of additional guests may also be enjoying the property.

If you've been looking for a quiet place to unplug, spend time with friends or family, or simply enjoy the beauty of south Louisiana, we'd love to have you.

We're also offering an early access promotion for our email subscribers with 50% off select weekends.

Take a look at the available weekends and find the one that's right for you at CampingOnTheBayou.com.

We look forward to seeing you on the bayou.

Last weekend, the annual Tour du Teche kayak and canoe race made its way down our beautiful Bayou Teche — and we were lucky enough to have a few amazing guests book Camping on the Bayou to cheer on their friends as they paddled by! 🙌

They enjoyed coffee and bayou views in the morning, waved on the racers from our private bank, and later met their teams farther down the bayou to celebrate 🏆.

Moments like these remind us why we love this spot so much — it’s not just a place to camp, it’s part of the heartbeat of Louisiana adventure. 💚

Thinking about joining the fun next year? Plan ahead and book your bayou-side stay early at 👉 www.campingonthebayou.com
