Betty's Rv Park Abbeville LA.

Where are we today ?

Betty's Rv Park Abbeville Louisiana

       Yep it was cold last night again but sure beats what they had in Buffalo with all that snow stuff. Got the coffees drank , computing done and even a nice walkabout. Just waiting for the sun to warm things up this morning and we can secure our coach and hit the road. No real rush today. 
        On our way by 9 am heading west just moseying along, follow I-12 to I-10 and across the Louisiana swamp bridges (about 10 miles of swamp I think) and the Mississippi River at Baton Rouge.

132 miles today

again love the lane markings on the roads

crossing over the Mississippi

elevated roads over the swamps

         Around Lafayette Louisiana saw a Pilot/Flying J cheap gas. So pulled in to top up our tank, the best prices we have seen yet this winter so far $2.439 a gallon =.74 cents a litre (at a 15% exchange) back home $1.08 a litre. Saved $38.00 on this fill up compared to Ontario. Yep we can afford to travel much more this year.

        Right around noon we arrived at Betty's Rv Park. Check in had a bite for lunch and got set up.

        The sites here are small but then she only has 17 full hookup sites. Cozy and friendly Betty herself is a wonderful welcoming person. Anything you need just ask and Happy hour is at 4:30 in the room she showed us, too cool outside. Bring your beverage and a snack to share if you wish.

this our site, FHU only $20.00 a night,
free wifi too. 

entrance to the office and clubhouse

nice garden? Unique for sure

outdoor happy hour place

         Once set up I ran to the Grocery store up the street for a few items and found this cajun stew in the freezer section. I had a real craving for something Cajun so Suzie and I split this, for a snack before Happy Hour. Very tasty yes! Quick easy and did the trick.

just a tease

         Now at 4:30 over to the social room, we took some crackers and cheese, and other people had a variety of snacks to hand around, small sandwiches, olives, pickles, veggies, pretzels, a first for us persimmons (they are very tasty) and some very tasty hot fresh made perogies. Of course everyone friendly, we are all rv'ers ya know. Conversation flowed and the snacks we devoured. Activities discussed and good places to eat. So much going on if we were staying longer but we have planned only 3 days, could keep busy here for 3 weeks or longer.

always something going on here

persimmons, a first and very tasty

this guy beside me
is really into it

        Our first day at Betty's and it was wonderful. Small campground , everyone friendly. This is the kind of campground we enjoy.  Its not the facilities it's the management, staff and attitude of people here.

         If you read yesterdays posting I mentioned the one couple that drove around the previous campground for 2 hours looking for a campsite. Most of the sites here are pull through, but they choose a back in site. Left their car on the tow dolly in the middle of the road since yesterday. With a pull through site right across from them. Really makes me wonder sometimes, but then again each to their own.

Yep we are enjoying it here for a few days

a few things to see before we are back on the road

        Another fun day here now in Cajun country for a few days, getting a bit warmer now too.

        Thanks for stopping by and if you are in the area stop in and visit Betty.
