Discover Opelousas RV rentals for memorable road trips
Founded in 1720 by French colonists, Opelousas is one of the oldest cities in Louisiana and named after the Native American tribe who once inhabited the region. It served as a major trading post throughout the 18th and 19th centuries for goods traveling between New Orleans and Natchitoches, becoming the seat of St. Landry Parish in 1850. It’s gained a reputation as the birthplace of zydeco music, as well as dubbing itself the “spice capital of the world” due to the unique seasonings that are produced here.

Dustin's description of his camper is very accurate.
Actually more equipped than described. Paper plates, paper towels, dish soap, etc. One literally only needs to bring food and bath products to stay in his camper. Communication with Dustin is very responsive. Quick and thorough responses to any questions you may have. Definitely recommend renting this camper!
