The Cajun RV Rally | New Iberia, Louisiana

On May 18, 2023

This week, we take you along to a rally that a lot of folks have raved about… the Cajun RV Rally! This RV rally is held every year in New Iberia, Louisiana just south of Lafayette.

Growing up in Texas, we’ve taken many trips to Louisiana over the years, but this was our first 2-week stay in South Louisiana or Acadiana as its known. (aka Cajun country!) What we found here is a region immersed in culture, food, history, and a zest for life.

In this video, we share some highlights of the Cajun RV Rally as well as attractions that we enjoyed around New Iberia LA. We had a fantastic time touring Martin Accordians (a family business that makes custom Cajun accordians by hand), beautiful Jefferson Island (home of the Rip Van Winkle Gardens and some very unusual history), the Conrad Rice Mill (billed as the oldest rice mill in the USA), and the Bayou Teche Museum in New Iberia LA (a community museum in an 1880s building).

And when your are just a few miles from the Boudin Capital of the World and they happen to be hosting the annual Boudin Festival during your stay… of course you go!

We are Native Texans and Full-Time RVers who are all about exploring the Great State of Texas and Beyond one campground at a time. We’re on a mission to experience life, not just live it and we’re bringing you along for the fun.

In 2018, we sold our house, our business and gave away just about everything we own to hit the road and see America. Our home is a 33′ motorhome named Freedom. We installed an extreme solar and lithium battery setup so now we can camp just about anywhere with our dog (Star) and our cat (Astro).

Every day is a new adventure, so join us as we RV America Y’all.
