While we were exploring southern Louisiana off of I-10, we spent four nights at Poche’s Fish n’ Camp. Located just a few miles east of Lafayette, in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana, this RV park was the perfect place to base camp out of and to also spend a few days relaxing. Poche’s has lots of “Louisiana-flavor” and is very unique!
The office is a small wooden cabin that’s decorated with all sorts of fishing paraphernalia, and there is a small store (2 shelving units) inside that features popular products like laundry soap and canned pork and beans.
We were tickled with our site at Poche’s—in all, there are 88 sites that are long and level. Most are concrete pads that will easily accommodate a 40′ class A with a toad parked across the front (there are a few pull-thus, but most are back in). Each site has a fire ring, and the sites have full hookups; both 30 and 50 amp are available. All sites have nice grassy yards, and the grounds are obviously well maintained.
The 85 acre campground is built around several catfish ponds, which the park keeps stocked. If you are camping at Poche’s (they also have 7 cabins available for rent, 2 night min.), you can fish in their ponds for free (outsiders can come in and fish for $10/day); no Louisiana fishing license needed! The park has several fish cleaning stations spread out over the grounds, and you can even fish off the activity center’s covered deck (which is also a nice place to relax in the afternoon heat!). Near the office is a pool (it was closed for the winter during our January visit), public restrooms, and a laundrymat. The laundry room has 4 washers and 4 dryers, and each load/machine is just $1. The activity center is located conveniently in the middle area of the park, and offers a cheerful, bright atmosphere to play cards, visit, do puzzles or go online with the park’s free wifi.
We loved how clean the park was, and the rural location—including the lack of road noise.But Poche’s isn’t just about a great camping experience, it’s also about the food! Just 2 miles down the road is Poche’s Meat Market. Same family, same town, same quality experience. It’s a favorite of the locals.

We stayed at Poche while headed to TX. Because we had a schedule, we only stayed two nights. We loved it and have it on our return-to-
list!
