You’re Invited: Bayou Bash Weekend & Car Show

February 6, 2026

Come out and enjoy our Bayou Bash Weekend

February 20–22

If you’re looking for a weekend that feels completely different from the everyday campground stay, this is it. Bayou Bash Weekend is loud, colorful, and packed with moments that make you say, “I’m so glad we came.”

Picture Cajun food sizzling in the café, zydeco music drifting through the campground, cabins and campsites decked out in beads and bayou flair, and a Car Show that turns Saturday into an all-day celebration.

Let us show you what’s waiting.

Friday: Welcome to the Bayou

You roll in, park the rig or car, and immediately feel like the party has already started.

Friday is all about getting settled and jumping right into the Bayou Bash spirit. Decorate your cabin or campsite (the bolder, the better), grab something delicious from the café, and warm up your dancing shoes.

Friday night looks like this:

  • Check-In & Cabin/Campsite Decorating (3–7 PM)
  • Beads, Mardi Gras colors, bayou vibes—make your site part of the fun.

  • Café Special: Crawfish Étouffée & Beignets
  • Trust us on this one.

  • Zydeco Dance Party (6:30 PM)
  • No experience required—just show up and move.

  • Family Campfire Kickoff (7 PM)
  • Stories, laughs, and the perfect way to wrap up your first night.

    By the time you head back to your site, you’ll already be talking about what tomorrow’s going to bring.

     

    Saturday: Bayou Bash + Car Show

    The Car Show takes over the campground, bringing together classic rides, custom details, and serious Bayou Bash flair. Whether you’re a car enthusiast or just love a good show, this is the kind of day where you wander, snack, vote for favorites, and soak it all in at your own pace.

    Here’s what you can expect:

  • Morning arrivals & café breakfast to kick things off
  • Car Show hours (11 AM–3 PM) with plenty of time to explore
  • Live zydeco music setting the soundtrack for the day
  • Kids’ Cajun crafts & mini car decorating so the whole family stays happy
  • Crawfish boil served during show hours (yes, it’s as good as it sounds)
  • Awards Ceremony (3:30 PM) celebrating:
  • Best in Show
  • People’s Choice
  • Best Bayou Spirit Ride
  • Car Parade Loop (4 PM)—don’t miss this one
  • When the sun starts to set, the fun keeps going:

  • Bayou Bash Glow Ride (7 PM)
  • Light it up and take a cruise on our wagon.

  • Cajun Campfire & Ghost Stories (7:30 PM)
  • Cozy, fun, and just spooky enough.

    Saturday is full, festive, and unforgettable—the kind of day you wish you could rewind and do again.
