Where live oaks drip with Spanish moss and bayous hum with birdsong, Louisiana delivers a soulful slice of the outdoors. Paddle cypress-lined waterways in the Atchafalaya Basin, reel in redfish off Grand Isle, or spy gators on a swamp tour. Evenings bring Zydeco rhythms, fresh-boiled crawfish, and fireflies dancing over your campsite. Down here, camping, culture, and cuisine blend as smooth as gumbo.
