About
This serene 24-acre swampland property welcomes RV guests with abundant wildlife, managed pastures, and natural beauty balanced throughout. Visitors wake to aquatic birds, enjoy views across five ponds, and explore an island sanctuary home to friendly goats—all while finding flat, well-maintained grass parking with 30-amp and 50-amp hookups available. The property also features ten additional boondocking sites nestled along forested paths, offering options for every preference. A working animal rescue at heart, this location offers guests an immersive experience with free-roaming rescued animals including horses, mini pigs, dogs, turkeys, chickens, goats, emus, ducks, and peacocks. These gentle, approachable residents roam throughout the sanctuary, making it an unforgettable destination for families and animal lovers. A private, recently renovated bathroom with shower and tub is available to guests, and the peaceful atmosphere combines the therapeutic benefits of nature with meaningful interaction with content, well-cared-for animals. Nestled at the end of a quiet dead-end road on a gated private property, this sanctuary offers convenient access to outdoor recreation—parks and river access are within walking distance, while Lake Charles lies just 30 minutes away and Gulf of Mexico beaches are less than an hour's drive. The location sits close to Highway 10, making it an ideal stop for travelers seeking both relaxation and easy onward travel. Guests consistently praise the calming atmosphere, spacious grounds perfect for walking trails and exploration, and the genuine warmth of the community experience. Whether visitors come to observe grazing horses at dawn, feed goats, enjoy the chorus of bullfrogs and roosters, or simply sit by the ponds in peaceful contemplation, this unique property delivers a restorative retreat where nature and rescued animals create an enchanting, one-of-a-kind stay.
