You wouldn't have thought that shrimp and petroleum go together, but in the case of the riverfront town of Morgan City, they do. During Labor day weekend a festival is held to celebrate these two things, as not only is it the 'Jumbo Shrimp Capital of the World', but it is also home to an offshore oil rig, and both these things have helped shaped the city into what it is today. When you book an RV rental in St Mary Parish all of this will be at your fingertips.

The Atchafalaya River, swamps, and the nearby Gulf of Mexico give the area a diverse landscape, full of wildlife. Climb the flood barrier, known as the Great Wall, for fantastic views of the surrounding vessels and shrimp boats out on the water. Franklin, Houma, and Amelia are all town's that are in easy reach for a day trip. The city of New Orleans is also reachable with your RV rental from Morgan City.

The Great Outdoors

The nearest park to town is Lake End Park, which also doubles as a thriving RV park. This park offers a boat launch and playground, plus a number of walking trails and pavilions. Seeing as this park is located within the town, simply leave your RV rental parked and go explore.

Just over the water is Brownell Memorial Park. The park offers a good opportunity to see the various plants that naturally grow along these swamps, such as a cattails, elephant ears, fern, iris and much more. Although the park itself is beautiful, one of the main attractions here is the Carrillon Tower, which rises to a height of 106 feet. The tower, although elegant, stands in contrast to its all natural surroundings.

Bayou Teche National Wildlife Refuge is just a short drive away and is the best spot for hiking near town. During the spring, these trails can be a great place to look for neotropical birds or keep an eye out for alligators in the canals. Park up your travel trailer rental from Morgan City and take some of the more popular trails which include the Garden City Interpretive Boardwalk Trail, the Stinson Road Trail, and Franklin Unit Trail.

RV parks

Morgan City RV park should be an obvious choice for those looking for a place to stay nearby. It is located in the heart of the business district, within walking distance to the town's many restaurants and attractions. The sites are full hookups and come with 30 or 50 amp electric, water, and sewage, plus have free WiFi and cable TV. This park is a good choice if you want to be in the center off all the action but are not bothered about the many amenities and attractions.

Just outside of town is Amelia RV Park, which contains 55 sites. Again, it is a pretty basic place for parking your Morgan City camper rental but has everything that you will need for a good stay.

Further east is Hideaway Ponds RV resort, the perfect place to relax away from the hustle and bustle of city life. The site has large indoor and outdoor pools, paddle boats, playgrounds, a fishing pond, horseshoes and more. It is a good place to base yourself if you don't mind a little drive from picking up your RV rental from Morgan City, Louisiana.

Exploring the City

One of the biggest events the city hosts is the Louisiana Shrimp and Petroleum Festival, which is quite an odd pairing! The people of Morgan City are indebted to these workers that have made up their community, and the celebrations are filled with food, music, and local arts and crafts. The festival lasts five days, and there is something different on every day. It is one of the best ways to fully immerse yourself in the culture.

Morgan City Main Street is where to head if you are looking for a little retail therapy. The street is full of shops, boutiques, and eateries which can provide a whole afternoon of entertaining. Once you have done with shopping and eating, go and stand on the Great Wall of Morgan City and watch as the boats pass by on the river.

One of the town's major attractions is Mr. Charlie, which is a feature of the International Petroleum Museum of Exposition. It will allow you to see what life is like on a real oil rig, and you'll be able to see why there is a whole festival dedicated to it.

Should it be a taste of the Louisiana sunshine you are seeking, consider a motorhome rental in Morgan City. Browse the shops downtown, hang out and watch the boats float by, and take in the outstanding landscape. Rent an RV in Morgan City, LA and see what all the Pelican State has to offer.
