Campgrounds near Montegut, Louisiana
Montegut is a small census-designated place in Terrebonne Parish, in the heart of south Louisiana's bayou country. It sits within the Houma-Thibodaux metropolitan statistical area, with a population of about 1,465 at the 2020 census. The community developed around a sugar mill founded in 1883, and the parish seat of Houma lies a short drive north via LA-55 or LA-24, which puts most RV parks within easy reach.
RV travelers have several options in the area. South Houma RV Park and Capri Court Motorhome Park serve travelers close to the Houma commercial core. Bayou Black RV Park sits west of town along the bayou. Farther out in Gibson, Hideaway Ponds Recreational Resort operates 96 full hook-up RV sites with 50/30 amp service, pull-through sites, an indoor heated pool, an outdoor pool, two fishing ponds, and four rental cottages. Miles Away Properties rounds out the nearby options.
Expect flat, low-elevation terrain, live oaks, and constant proximity to water. This is a working-coast region: shrimp boats, sugar cane fields, and oilfield service traffic are part of the daily landscape.
Things to do near Montegut
Bayou country is built for boats, birds, and food. Swamp tours, wildlife viewing, birding, kayaking, and charter fishing are the core activities, with local operators running excursions through the surrounding bayous and marshes. Mandalay National Wildlife Refuge, about five miles southwest of Houma, encompasses 4,212 acres of freshwater marsh and cypress-tupelo swamp bisected by the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway. Most of the refuge is accessible only by boat, but a short nature trail off Bayou Black Drive leads to an elevated boardwalk and observation deck over the wetlands, open sunrise to sunset.
In Houma, visitors can tour cultural sites, plantation museums, and gator farms. The Wetlands Cultural Scenic Byway threads through the region, and highways 56 and 57 run south from Houma toward the Gulf. Time a visit around Mardi Gras parades in late winter or the Rougarou Fest in October for Cajun food and live music.

Spring and fall are the most comfortable seasons for RV travel in the Montegut area. Spring brings Mardi Gras parades in Houma, prime crawfish season, and blooming Louisiana irises along wetland trails. Fall offers cooler, drier weather, migratory waterfowl and songbirds moving through the marshes, and the Rougarou Fest in October.
Summer is hot, humid, and wet. August is typically the warmest month, with average highs around 91°F and average lows near 75°F, and it is also among the wettest and most humid stretches of the year. Biting insects are heavy in the marshes from late spring through early fall, so plan for repellent and shade.
Hurricane risk shapes any late-summer or early-fall trip. The official Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30, with the statistical peak on September 10 and the most activity between mid-August and October. Track National Hurricane Center advisories closely when booking in that window, since coastal Terrebonne Parish has taken direct hits in recent years.
How to book RV sites near Montegut
Parks in the Montegut and Houma area are privately owned and book directly by phone or through their own websites rather than a state or federal portal. Hideaway Ponds Recreational Resort, at 6367 Bayou Black Drive in Gibson, is bookable by phone and is also listed with Good Sam. It is open year-round and is affiliated with the Ocean Canyon Properties membership program, so confirm whether nightly transient rates or member access apply before booking.
For South Houma RV Park, Capri Court Motorhome Park, Bayou Black RV Park, and Miles Away Properties, call ahead to confirm rig length limits, hookup amps, and monthly-tenant policies. Many local parks host long-term oilfield workers, so short-stay availability can vary. Book early for Mardi Gras weekends and Rougarou Fest in October.
What to expect on the ground
The landscape around Montegut is flat, wet, and low. A 1941 WPA guide reported an elevation of just 8 feet, and much of the surrounding parish is marsh, bayou, and sugar cane. Expect mosquitoes and high humidity from late spring through early fall, and pack insect repellent, sun protection, and quick-dry layers.
Site quality varies. Hideaway Ponds offers full hookups with 50/30 amp service, free Wi-Fi, a bath house, laundry, and a large clubhouse, while smaller parks in the area lean toward gravel pads with basic hookups and limited amenities. Confirm 50-amp availability if traveling in a larger Class A.
Houma and the surrounding communities are laced with bayous and shipping channels, and shrimp boats are a routine sight along the water. Driving is straightforward on the main highways, but watch for narrow bridges and low-clearance branches on rural bayou roads.
