Louisiana State Park Glamping Camp Site
Glamping is the latest trend to come to Louisiana State Parks. Lt Governor Billy Nungesser says the camping fad is an innovative partnership with Tentrr to increase accommodation options at eight state parks in the Bayou State. So, what exactly is Glamping…
“A tent on a wooden platform with a queen-size bed and all the amenities, a fire pit a heater,” said Nungesser.
Nungesser says state parks have experienced a 45-percent increase in visits this year as part of the Sunshine Plan to revitalize the tourism industry and Glamping is the newest initiative. The 60 unique glamp sites feature safari-style tents and queen-sized cots. The spacious tents are strategically placed in distinctive settings throughout the parks.
“On one of them you have to take about a fifteen-minute canoe ride out to an island to get to one of them,” said Nungesser.
Nungesser wants to entice all tourists to enjoy Glamping. Tents that are wheelchair accessible, senior and pet-friendly are also available to rent.
Glampers will also have access to park facilities such as showers and toilets.
Nungesser hopes to attract Glamping aficionados to the state and lure more Louisianans to the great outdoors for Staycations. The budget-friendly trend will be available for December bookings beginning today.
“They’ll be available starting in December and the $89 special rate going in is pretty incredible,” said Nungesser.
