Very nice location, a bit out of the way and hard to find. The campground is a Christian retreat, with campsites and dorms, although we did not see any of those visitors. The host was very friendly and helpful. Level, gravel sites with some trees. We used the bath house for showers but it was in disrepair, with spiders and bugs in residence. The larger swimming pool was open, but the smaller one seemed to be closed for quite awhile, full of trash. There were several couples staying there that seemed to be members, there for the summer season. We stayed at the Coast to Coast rate, so at that price, we would stay again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a great place for family or on a date. Reasonable prices, good portions and good taste. We walked in without reservations and were seated in the lounge. The server was prompt, cheerful and knowledgeable, and checked back on us several times during our meal.
All the locals and snowbirds know about this restaurant. We definitely would go back!

This campground is at a very nice lakeside location. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. Lots of friendly seasonal residents. There is a small restaurant on site, but it was not staffed. We stayed twice at this campground at the Coast to Coast rate of $8 per night. The price makes the drive out of town well worth it. Out of the way location, but shops, market , and Walmart are just fifteen minutes away. Cute little town nearby, called Defuniak Springs.

More Mexican food!

La Casa Gutierrez

This is an excellent Mexican restaurant at reasonable prices. It is a small place, in a house, hard to find but worth the stop. We know it’s good if it’s full of locals!
Our friends in Yuma recommended this restaurant. We would never have looked, or found it otherwise.

Entrees: $6-$11

Acadiana Park

We stayed here a week while waiting for some mail from home.

A nice little park on the edge of the suburbs. Paved sites are fairly level, but the road through the park is narrow. Busy on the weekends, but we were there during the week, and it was quiet. Call for reservations if you will be there on a weekend. We used this as a base to explore the area, Opelousas, Eunice, Abbeville, St. Martinville, New Iberia, the Tabasco Factory, etc. Downtown, markets and restaurants are within a few minutes. Verizon cell and aircard worked fine. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
