The City of Rayne has one of the finest Camp Grounds right on our hamfest site with over 700 RV spaces with hookups ranging from 30 to 50 amps, water and sewage on most sites, but dump site available. So come early and enjoy the ragchewing.

There are numerous places to eat, shop, and stay overnight, just a few blocks from the Hamfest site in the City of Rayne, and the Acadia Parish area. Whether you live nearby or not, come join us! If you are traveling to join us, there are plenty of sight seeing opportunities available in the Acadiana area to make your trip even more worthwhile. Attractions include Mouton Accordions & Music, Grand Opera House of the South, Crystal Rice Plantation & Heritage Farm and many more area attractions noted at the Acadia Parish Tourism web site. There are many things to do before and after the hamfest.
