Cameron Parish
is still the "place to visit." The 1,441-square-mile parish is home to four
wildlife refuges. Hunting & fishing or crabbing, shelling and birdwatching on 36 miles of
accessible beaches will entice visitors of all ages. Though we have no major chain hotels or
motels, the friendly atmosphere of those owning cabins and camps is one of our assets. The
marsh flowers and birds, alligators and marsh animals are prevalent in all refuges and along
the roads leading into the parish. Over 20,000 people visit the Cameron Refuges on a monthly
basis. The Louisiana Fur and Wildlife Festival is held each January. The Alligator Harvest
Festival is held in September and the Cajun Riviera Festival in August attracts over 13,000
people. New to the area is the recently dedicated Veterans Honor Wall in front of the Cameron
Parish Courthouse. The wall honors veterans of all wars, living or deceased, and includes over
1,600 names.
