2016 Louisiana Trip – Day 13 & 14 - Poche's Campground & Prejean's

We were originally scheduled to leave on Tuesday (day 13) but I wanted to neither break camp nor drive in the rain & wind so we extended two days to let them get out of the Southeast and allow the coach to dry off.  Tuesday morning was nasty with cold rain and wind so we basically piled up it the coach and when it cleared we made another trip to Poche’s meat market to pick up a few more goodies to take home.  We decided that if we ever got another RV, a fireplace is a must - it gets a lot of use when it's cold as it heats the living area with electricity I'm already paying for.

On our way to the market, we decided to swing by Poche’s RV Park and Fish-N-Camp even though I was not expecting very much based upon the name.  What a pleasant surprise as we found a very nice park built around a series of small fish stocked lakes.  The roads were all paved and the 88 sites had concrete parking pads, nice grass or gravel, and nearly all were lake-front – you know it’s a pretty decent place when you find lots of class A motorhomes including a Newmar Kingaire.  RV sites are $40/day for four people and they also have some cabins.

I didn’t take any shots but here are some from the web.

If you like to fish or like a quiet, slightly off the beaten path location, this may be the place for you – it reminded me of a nice state park or COE campground.

On our last day, I readied the outside of the coach and the ladies went shopping one last time down in Broussard after which we went out to dinner.  We had been trying to get to Prejean's since getting here and based upon the reviews, some recommendations, and reading the menu on line, we were really looking forward to it.

The inside was nicely done and included a stage for the band that would be performing later on.

After studying the menu, Bev opted for the Crawfish Enchilada, Pat had the Shrimp Pasta Inez, and I went with the Alligator Grand Chenier.  

All of the meals looked good when they arrived and Bev’s was pretty good but difficult to tell it had crawfish in it, Pat’s was okay but nothing special, and mine was almost too salty to eat (which is saying a lot for me).  The sides of dirty rice and corn macque choux were also just okay so all-in-all we were disappointed and would rate this meal as the least favorite we had during our visit to Acadiana - pretty much tourist food.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by Almost Heaven South.
