Explore Fairview Riverside State Park: The Best Secret in Louisiana - Episode 110

Our journey west back to Texas takes an exciting turn as we escape the stormy grips of Hurricane Helene! In this episode, we spend two unforgettable nights at Fairview-Riverside State Park, a serene gem nestled in Louisiana's lush landscapes.

The adventure kicks off with a close call-nearly running out of fuel-and navigating through one of the hurricane's outer bands. Despite the challenges, we triumphantly arrive at this tranquil state park, where history, nature, and beauty blend seamlessly.

From the captivating Otis House Museum to the stunning park grounds, this destination is a must-see for RV travelers and nature enthusiasts. While Hurricane Francine left its mark, leaving the boardwalk trail in need of repair, it doesn't dampen our spirit! We explore the area's peaceful mid-week ambiance, soak in the serenity of RV camping, and prepare for our next adventure: an afternoon in vibrant New Orleans (coming in the next episode!).

Join us as we uncover the rich history, natural beauty, and hidden gems of Fairview-Riverside State Park nestled along the tranquil Tchefuncte River. Don't miss this exciting chapter of our RV travel journey!
