Hideaway Ponds RV Resort – Ocean Canyon A Gem of a Resort in Cajun Country
Ocean Canyon Properties, the Southeast’s largest private membership camping resort company, acquiredHideaway Ponds Resort in Gibson, Louisiana, in September 2017. Located only 70 miles from New Orleans, the resort gives visitors an option to visit the big city or relax onsite beneath 200-year-old oak trees. Although the resort has multiple amenities, Ocean Canyon plans to make many upgrades to the resort, such as building additional RV sites, adding new amenities including a new playground and a new welcome center, adding additional staff, and completely renovating existing facilities. Amenities onsite include a junior Olympic outdoor pool and an indoor heated pool and hot tub. Members can enjoy the 4,000-square-foot clubhouse for a variety of social activities. Go paddle boating, fish in the stocked fishing ponds (three to be exact), enjoy the playgrounds, and take advantage of scheduled recreational activities.
Hideaway Ponds also features two cabins, five park model cottages and RV sites with 30/50-amp electric and full hookups. The resort is located in the heart of Louisiana Cajun Bayou country, near Morgan City, Houma, and Thibodaux. In Houma, visit Bayou Terrebonne Waterlife Museum. If you’re visiting Morgan City the last weekend of August, join in the Louisiana Shrimp and Petroleum Festival. While in Thibodaux, take a swamp tour on Louisiana’s Cajun Bayou. Enjoy a walk along the Lockport Elevated Wetlands Boardwalk and a peek into the mysterious swamps full of moss-laden cypress trees, majestic eagles, egrets, and massive alligators. Hideaway Ponds is a perfect complement to Abita Springs, Ocean Canyon’s other resort in southern Louisiana located across Lake Pontchartrain from New Orleans.
