Betty’s RV Park – Louisiana
Some of you might be wondering how this rustic little park made the list, but it’s really unique and not your typical RV resort. Much more intimate and homey. It’s got a real back yard vibe to it – mostly because the park is literally in Betty’s back yard. For example, there’s a happy hour in Betty’s living room and you may get a chance to visit with some of the locals who frequently visit Betty’s porch. Communal meals are a regular thing. Think pot luck. It’s like being part of a family you never knew you had, which helps make up for the lean amenities. Highly recommended.
