RV rental Houma, LA: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

Finding a good RV park in the bayou can be a bit of a challenge as dry land comes at a premium. However, there are a few choices not too far from Houma. Capri Court is just on the northern end of town, just south of Highway 90, and offers full hookups, shower and laundry facilities, along with easy access to the fishing pier on the St. Louis Canal. Another option is Hideaway Ponds RV Resort, near the town of Gibson. It’s a very family-friendly campground with a swimming pool, game room, and live music on the weekends. It also has full hookups for your Houma RV rental and is close to some great golf courses. If you’re thinking about visiting Cajun Country’s other main city, Lafayette, it’s just an hour's drive west of the campground.

Perhaps the best place to learn about Cajun culture is at the Terrebonne Folklife Culture Center. It’s run by the National Park Service and is stocked with all sorts of interesting artifacts telling the story of the French-speaking Acadians (Cajuns). Originally from Eastern Canada, they were expelled by the British in the mid-1800s and came to make a life in the inhospitable bayous of southern Louisiana. For much of that time, they remained a marginalized community and only recently have outsiders taken an interest in their fascinating culture. Not far from there is the small Bayou Terrebonne Waterlife Museum, which has some excellent exhibits showing how many of the area’s residents make their living from the bayou waters doing things like fishing, shrimping, and drilling for oil miles below the water’s surface. In addition to its rich Cajun history, Louisiana’s bayous are also home to a wealth of African American history. To learn more about it when you rent an RV in Houma, check out the Finding Our Roots African American Museum. It covers events that are rarely talked about in America’s history classes, like the time Georgetown University sold off over 200 slaves to pay their debts in the early 1800s. Immerse yourself in the unique and fascinating culture of southern Louisiana. Explore the vast, watery expanses of wilderness and the vibrant cities of Lafayette and New Orleans when you book a travel trailer rental in Houma, Louisiana.
