The best RV rentals in Lafayette, LA

From backwater bayous to cypress swamps, Lafayette boasts some charming countryside for campers to enjoy. RVers looking to stay within 10 miles of downtown should park at the Lafayette KOA Holiday. Perched on a ten-acre lake just off Interstate 10, this convenient campground contains spacious pull-through sites with full hookups and 50-amp electricity. Catch supper at the lake, cool off in the pool, or challenge your crew to a round of mini-golf. This KOA is perfect for pups, with an on-site fenced-in dog run. Amenities include a laundry room, a dump station, and Wi-Fi access.

Or, travel a couple of miles farther down Interstate 10 and spend the night at Frog City RV Park. This campground offers over 60 big rig-friendly sites with full hookups and 50-amp electricity. You won't be short of things to do around camp — Frog City RV Park is surrounded by casinos, and there's an on-site saltwater swimming pool. The park is pet friendly, and you can take your dog to stretch its legs at the dog park. Home comforts include laundry machines, hot showers, and free Wi-Fi access. 

Lafayette is a charming city, but how do traffic levels and parking options stack up compared to the rest of Louisiana? It's worth noting that Lafayettiens spend an average of 26 hours a year stuck in traffic due to poor road conditions. Luckily, many of the city's best campgrounds are less than 15 miles from downtown. If you're searching for oversized parking downtown, try Albertsons, Home Depot, or the Cajundome. 

One excursion that you won't want to miss during your Lafayette trailer rental is Acadian Village. Arcadian Village, a replica of a typical 19th century Cajun settlement, is the perfect place to learn about local history. During your tour, you'll visit buildings like the Blacksmith Shop, Doctor's Museum, and New Hope Chapel. In addition, you get to walk through several original homesteads that date back to the Civil War. 

Take your crew on safari at Zoosiana. Home to over 1,000 exotic critters, Zoosiana features a safari area where camels, deer, and oryx roam free. Another unique experience at Zoosiana is the Giraffe Feeding Station, where you can feed gentle giraffes by hand. During your trip to the zoo, you'll also get to see a variety of animals, including clouded leopards, ring-tailed lemurs, and scarlet macaws.
