Bayou Glamping Co
Quick Facts
Why Westlake & the Bayou
Westlake sits directly across the Calcasieu River from Lake Charles, part of the Lake Charles/Southwest Louisiana region known for its genuine bayou character, Cajun and Creole cuisine, and easy access to the Creole Nature Trail All-American Road, a scenic route through marshes and wildlife refuges along the Gulf Coast. The area’s waterways offer real, quiet paddling well off the more touristy stretches of the state.
Bayou Glamping Co is a genuinely unique Louisiana bayou experience, with host Ebony and “Sarge” both singled out for exceptional hospitality. The moonlight kayak tours through the bayou are the signature draw — a peaceful, unusual activity you won’t find at most glamping properties.
