HIDEAWAY PONDS RV RESORT Experience Cajun “joie de vivre” at Hideaway Ponds
If you want to experience life as a Cajun under magnificent oak trees, come down to the family- oriented Hideaway Ponds RV Resort in Gibson, Louisiana, where you can swim, fish, sightsee in the surrounding area, or just plain relax. Cajun permeates most everything you experience at this resort just 70 miles from New Orleans. And the food can’t be beat as local chefs experiment with herbs and spices to create some of the most flavorful dishes. It’s easy to experience the joy of living when parked under some of the country’s oldest oak trees at this beautiful resort. Drop a line in one of the two ponds stocked with catfish, bass, and perch or take a paddleboat ride in either pond. There’s more than fishing and eating, though. There’s a full-time activities director to help you fill every minute. Or you can just “set a spell” beside one of three pools: indoor, outdoor and kiddie pool, relax in the indoor Jacuzzi, or lounge in the 4,000-square-foot air-conditioned
clubhouse. Enjoy shuffleboard, volleyball, billiards, ping pong, playground, and mini-golf. Your well-appointed RV site includes 50 / 30 / 20-amp electrical service, sewage and water, cable TV and Wi-Fi, cement patio pad, picnic table and barbecue pit. If you want to venture off the resort, there are several local attractions close by. Hideaway Ponds is located between Morgan City and Houma, just an hour from downtown New Orleans. Close by are festivals, museums, zoos, aquariums, gardens, plenty of boating, fishing, swamp tours, the French Quarter, Mardi Gras, and great Cajun restaurants. Houma boasts the second largest Mardi Gras celebration in Louisiana with more than 10 parades. Also nearby is the Southdown Plantation House, a 19th century sugar plantation with manor house and museum. The Southdown Marketplace Arts & Crafts Festival takes place in the spring and fall.
