Cajun Palms RV Resort, Henderson, LA

Cajun Palms RV Resort, Henderson, LA is just a fun destination located on the western edge of the Atchafalaya Basin in St. Martin Parish. This rv resort has received national recognition as a best campsite. So you think you are in bayou country with nothing to do?...think again. Henderson itself, a rural farming community, offers swamp tours, the marketshops, and crawfish…and more crawfish, restaurants, a prehistoric park, and the best fresh water fishing in the south. 

Conveniently located a short distance off I10 (be careful exiting as the on and off ramp approaches have been under construction for years-Fall 2019- making it difficult for a 45’ motorcoach to navigate thru the temporary and restrictive ramps). Cajun Palms is truly a resort with over 300 rv sites and 65 cabins, double & triple buddy sites plus a new section with covered sites. The entire park is designed around a pinwheel design with all amenities and lakes located in the center with rv sites  emanating out and around; the coveted sites are around the pinwheel. The focal point inside the pinwheel are the swimming pools (children’s and separate adult pool with tiki bar), water park, hot tub, beach volleyball, mini-golf, fishing ponds, music stage, and a two-story clubhouse housing an exercise room, video arcade, theatre, two food concessions stands (not restaurants nor cafes and please stop serving Hunt Brothers Pizza…cardboard sold at convenience stores), and a great hall for banquets, and video poker room with bar.

As a family entertainment park it can be hectic, but always in southern style. And talking southern one cannot help noticing that this is LSU country.

There is little landscaping to hinder navigation to ones site. And the wide concrete roads and pads with patio enable effortless pull-thru and back-in maneuvering. The sites are well spaced so even though the park is normally full there exists a modicum of privacy between guests.

The Takeaway: Cajun Palms Resort is a modern clean rv park with well maintained grounds and amenities not offered elsewhere, i.e. canopy covered sites. A disappointment is their on-site prepared food and features Hunt Brothers Pizza-a real disappointment. The good food news is the off-premises excellent dining options, i.e the Crawfish Town Restaurant within 200 feet of the park’s perimeter.  Located in Bayou country this is a real resort located with easy access off I10. And one last comment-this is ‘Tiger’ country.
