Cajun Palms RV Resort

Stayed in a 45ft motorhome. Sites are concrete and level. Decent space between sites. Busy on weekends but otherwise quiet. Bathhouses are acceptable but nothing special. Wifi is NOT free. Sewage connection is placed too far forward and requires an extension if your RV is long. Walmart is 6 miles away.

We got here just before closing time at 7:50pm on a Wednesday. It took about 20 minutes to register because I had to go through the training of a new employee with the trainer beside her. After having been on the road for 12 hours, it was not appreciated. Then I was told that WiFi was to be provided by an outside provider at a fairly high cost. However, I couldn't connect to their service with my Windows 10 laptop. They seem to only cater to Apple products (my wife was able to subscribe with her iPad) and couldn't help with my laptop, other than say that Apple had a better product. After registering and paying, for my camp site, I was asked if I needed someone to escort me to my site in the dark. The resort is huge so I said yes. Two young guys, in a unlit golf cart, asked me to follow them at about 20 miles/hour when the speed limit is 5! At one point, they had to come back to get me because I couldn't follow through the turns. Our first night was a Wednesday in March and the place was empty. On Thursday, it started filling up and Friday night will probably be the start of party time. I doubt any rules will be applied.

People playing music VERY loud-against campground rules and regulations. Sound can be heard thru out campground. Nothing being done, VERY ANNOYING and cannot concentrate on anything.

The facility was very nice. There were a lot of rules providing for the safety and comfort of the campers. It was said that the rules would be strictly enforced. However, there were people not following the rules, and nothing was done about it. There were adults driving all over the facility in golf carts, with very loud music playing. It was loud enough to hear from far off, and sometimes the music being played was not appropriate. This was especially annoying at 9:00 and even after 10:00 at night when people are trying to get to sleep. It was not a quiet, peaceful place to stay. We will not be back.

A "resort" by anyone's definition. Great paved sites, easy access. What a beautiful setting and clearly geared toward kids and swimming. Multiple, large swimming pools. Lots of space around your site. If I had a compliant it would be that they charge extra for their wifi - we didn't pay so I don't know how well it worked - just annoying. But we'll be back.

I spent 5 nights there even though I paid for six. The pool was filthy, bugs on the top, scum and bottle caps on the bottom. I mentioned this to a camp work and he said he would take care of it. Doubting his word I watched as one person performed a mediocre attempt at skimming the pool. I asked when the bar and grill would be open and was told tomorrow. The hot tub was not much warmer than the pool. I took the asst manager (obviously a low paid kid with no authority) to the pool and pointed out all the dirt including the green algae growing in the kiddie pool. The only thing he said was that he would let the general manager know. Not much was done. Friday morning was a beehive of activity as more workers appeared to prepare for the weekend. Friday was also the day that a stream of RV's pulled in. Friday night the pool was clean, the hot tub hot and the bar and grill open. Sunday and Monday again the pool was dirty and the hot tub cold. It's funny that they charge twice as much for weekdays when few of the amenities are available for use. What's really ironic are the silly rules. You have to wear a wrist band they told me to use the pool. What they gave me was like a hospital ID band, you can't take it off. And nobody really checks it. The rules say you must shower before using the pool but there is no access to the showers from the pool. As I was returning from a shopping trip I stopped in an aisle because there were big families on either side and two little kids in the roadway. I stopped to make sure mothers had their hands and were safely clear before proceeding. While I was waiting a golf cart with the word security charged up along side of me, forcing a mother and child to scurry to the side. He stopped to remind me that the speed limit was 5 miles an hour. It's obvious that this place lives for the weekends. It fills up quickly and the party begins Friday night. The revelers are drunk, loud and boisterous. Sunday morning the places clears out as fast as it filled. Despite the fact that I had to carry my laundry through the club house to use the luandry, it was only $1.25 per load. I think that's the best thing I can say about this place.

Stayed here twice within 10 days. First visit, I would have recommended to anyone. Second visit, not sure I can recommend to anyone. The second visit was long enough to notice all the issues. WiFi does not work and the staff is fully aware. They tell you that the storm knocked it out. The RV spot seems cheap until you have a 5th person, no matter what age they are. You are charged 50% of a total nights stay/$20 per person, per night for EVERY person over the 4th. That would not be so bad if you got anything for your money. During the slow season, you are still charged, but the restaurant and bar are not open. They shut the kiddie pool down over an hour early and opened it almost two hours late and only after I called and complained. They still would not open the gate to the kiddie area. We specifically parked across from the kiddie pool because we have a 4 year old (who we paid the $20 a person/per day charge for). We were told they were not opening that gate and that we would have to walk down to the opposite end, through the adult area. The putt putt course and playground that is advertised, is locked up and basically non existent. I think there is a bit of false advertising and a bit of overcharging for things that don't exist. The pirate ship in the kiddie pool is a safety hazard and needs repair. There are holes in the floor, which are just the right size for a child's toe to get cut and stuck in. There is a gap between the slide and the pool bottom, that allows a child to get their toe stuck and hurt badly. I know from personal experience with my 4 year old. The cost of this place looks good, until you get there and get overcharged for non existent amenities. Staff was friendly on the first visit, but extremely rude and unhelpful on the second visit. Not sure why this place gets a perfect 10 rating.

Party Town. Loud. Congested. WiFi did not work. Overpriced. Cater to families with young children or party folks with golf carts and boom boxes.
