RV camping near Union, Louisiana
Union is an unincorporated community in St. James Parish, Louisiana, located along Louisiana Highway 44 on the east bank of the Mississippi River. The area sits between New Orleans and Baton Rouge, which puts RV travelers within about an hour of both cities and inside the River Road plantation corridor.
RV options in the immediate area range from riverside resorts to full-hookup event-center parks. Poche Plantation RV Resort Cottage sits on the east bank near Convent, while Old River RV Park lies across the swamp country toward Maurepas. Lamar Dixon Expo Center RV Park in nearby Gonzales offers a large facility tied to an event complex, and B and B RV Park serves travelers looking for a smaller, simpler stopover.
For visitors heading farther afield, Tiger's Trail RV Resort works as a base for LSU-area trips into Baton Rouge. The flat terrain, low elevation, and grid of state highways make the region straightforward to navigate in a rental RV, though drivers should plan for narrow River Road shoulders and occasional industrial traffic.
Things to do near Union
The River Road corridor around Union is the main draw. Antebellum plantation sites sit within a short drive, including Houmas House and Bocage Plantation in nearby Darrow, both offering guided tours, gardens, and on-site dining. The historic Tezcuco Plantation site is no longer open to visitors after a 2002 fire, but its marker still stands along River Road.
Day trips reach New Orleans for the French Quarter, City Park, and the National WWII Museum, or Baton Rouge for the State Capitol and LSU campus. Between the two cities, travelers can tour swamps by airboat from Sorrento or Gramercy, fish the Mississippi's oxbow lakes, or attend equestrian and livestock events at Lamar Dixon Expo Center, which operates three arenas, cattle holding pens, and stall barns alongside its RV hookups.

South Louisiana has a humid subtropical climate with warm, wet summers and mild winters. Louisiana receives abundant precipitation throughout the year, with annual totals ranging from around 50 inches in the north to around 70 inches in the southeastern parishes, and the River Road area sits in the wetter southern tier. Spring and fall are the most comfortable stretches for RV travel, with lower humidity and generally stable weather.
Summer brings heat indices well above 100 F, near-daily afternoon thunderstorms, and mosquitoes in the swamps. Atlantic hurricane season runs from June through November, with peak activity in August and September; travelers should monitor the National Hurricane Center and be prepared to reroute if a storm enters the Gulf.
Winter is the mildest season and typically drier. Freezes occur but are brief, and most RV parks and plantation attractions stay open year-round. Mardi Gras season, in late winter, drives up demand for sites across the New Orleans and Baton Rouge corridor.
Booking and reservation tips
Most private RV parks in the Union area, including Poche Plantation RV Resort Cottage, B and B RV Park, Old River RV Park, and Tiger's Trail RV Resort, take reservations directly by phone or through their own websites. Booking two to three months ahead is advisable for spring festival weekends, Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest, and LSU home football Saturdays.
Lamar Dixon Expo Center RV Park accepts reservations and is often busy during large equestrian, livestock, and trade events at the expo center, so calling ahead to check event schedules is recommended. Louisiana State Parks in the surrounding region use the state's central reservation system, which opens a rolling window in advance of arrival dates.
What to expect on the ground
Union sits in a low-lying river parish at roughly sea level. Terrain is flat, sites are typically level and grassy or graveled, and full hookups with 30 and 50 amp service are common at the larger parks. Big-rig access is generally good along US 61, I-10, and LA 44, though the River Road itself is narrow in stretches and passes active industrial facilities.
Expect humidity, mosquitoes, and biting flies from late spring through early fall; screens, repellent, and awnings help. Cell coverage is reliable across the corridor. Grocery, fuel, and RV supply stops are easiest in Gonzales, LaPlace, and Sorrento rather than in Union itself, which is a small residential community without major retail.
