Lake Fausse Pointe State Park, La

We chose to stay at Lake Fausse Pointe State Park because it was the closest state park to Avery Island & Tabasco Factory. What a gem of a state park! We would stay here again and would recommend this to everyone. The only drawback is that it is far away from a town and services, but if you are looking for a gorgeous, secluded, quiet, camping experience this park is for you.

This is a pic of the pavilions that house picnic tables and the nature/educational center.

Here is a pic of the rental cabins.

This pic is of the area right behind each camp spot. Most of them back up to the waterway and have their own wooden deck you can sit on and look out at the beauty.

Some info. on the campground:

Lake Fausse Pointe State Park occupies a 6,000-acre site which was once part of the Atchafalaya Basin. The area surrounding the park was formerly the home site of the Chitimacha Indians. From the middle 1700s, the region was dominated by French and Acadian farmers and trappers, although the Spanish were in control of the land from 1763 until 1802. It was during this period that a major influx of Spaniards and Canary Islanders (called Isleños) emigrated to the New Iberia area, contributing to the cultural diversity of this section of Louisiana.

Fishing, boating and canoeing opportunities abound. A boat launch gives visitors easy access to the labyrinth of waterways that winds through the Basin. Overnight visitors can "rough it" in the campground or stay in lake-front cabins. A visitor center complex features a boat dock with rentals, and a nature center provides fun programs and activities as a way to learn about the surrounding environment. Three  hiking and canoe trails offer a "up close" view of the area plant and wildlife, as well.
