Hideaway Ponds Recreational Resort
Situated about a dozen miles to the southwest of Choupique, Hideaway Ponds offers campsites with more than even "full hookups."

The RV resort's amenities include an indoor pool with kiddie pool and jacuzzi, a bathhouse, a coin laundry, a camp store, a playground, miniature golf, courts for shuffleboard and volleyball and an air-conditioned clubhouse with billiards and ping-pong.
For outdoor activities, Hideaway Ponds lives up to its name with on-site ponds for catfish, crayfish and mixed-stock fishing.

D&D RV Park
Not to be confused with the role-playing game, D&D RV Park is a parking-lot-style RV campground located about 25 miles northeast of Choupique. The property is essentially an open lawn with little in the way of shade trees, and the campsites consist of gravel parking strips with full hookups (30- and 50-amp electricity) and cable TV connections.
Its main virtue is its location. D&D RV Park is centered between three major southern Louisiana lakes: des Allemands, Cataouatche and Salvador. The Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve is also about 12 miles to the west. The park is literally surrounded by opportunities for fishing, boating and nature watching in the Louisiana wetlands.
