BETTY'S

Betty Bernard doesn't just operate a renowned RV park.  She is, frankly, the entire reason people flock to Abbeville year 'round and year after year.  The park itself is small, a little on the crowded side, yet her guest register includes "regulars" who come back repeatedly.  Betty holds forth every afternoon, regaling guests with her Cajun stories and non-stop laughter.  She is a concierge who loves her "job" and will help you with recommendations for places to visit, dance, listen to music, food to try and anything else in her power to make sure you have a memorable visit deep in the heart of Cajun Louisiana.  Meet Betty Bernard with one of her favorites, a chocolate martini!

BETTY WELCOMES.....

big and small, truck campers to 40+-foot diesel pushers.  But the novel draw during my recent visit was the 1965 White 3000 that pulled a converted mid-1940's Trailmobile that had been used as a carnival wagon.  That remarkable big green machine is home to a full timing couple from Michigan who has made sure it contains every creature comfort imaginable -- except Lazy Daze windows!!!!  Jan and Bob most graciously gave frequent tours.

BETTY'S KITSCH.....

Most of it lovingly donated.  Betty can't have too much kitsch, and she prizes all of it. She is particularly fond of frogs and decorated toilet seats!!

BETTY'S HAPPY HOURS.....

start promptly at 4:00 p.m.  If someone needs an excuse to party, then it's called a "going away party" for anyone who left yesterday.  Oops!  Sorry you missed it -- guess you'll just have to come back!  Sometimes guests use the Happy Hour to make tomorrow's dinner plans: potluck, crayfish feed, or a visit to one of the lip-smacking, finger-lickin' Cajun eateries in the neighborhood.  Good times are non stop.

BETTY'S GUESTS.....

Ever wonder where Nova Scotians go in the Winter?  Some of them end up at Betty's.  And if they're from Cape Bretton, most likely they were born with an instrument in their hands!  Lucky us -- no cover charge, no donation box, just a whole lotta spontaneous, entertaining talent!!!
