Review: Cypress Lake Resort is a welcome surprise

Friendly. Beautiful. Well run.

All these things are true of Cypress Lake Resort in Berwick, La.

Who knew? Berwick is not exactly the kind of place that attracts a lot of tourists — it’s just a small Louisiana town on the way to the Gulf Coast set amid the bayous near the Achafalaya River, a surging distributary of the Mississippi River.

We found it on ParkAdvisor , an app that offers reviews of RV parks. It was rated highly on the app, so we decided to check it out. We’re so glad we did.

There’s a lot to like:

• Clean restrooms and laundry.

• Beautiful grounds set next to a gorgeous lake.

• Wifi that works well.

• Nice level sites set in gravel that come with a small bench and table.

• Boat and canoe rentals for the lake, which offers fishing opportunities.

For $35, it was a good deal. And during warmer months, Cypress Lake Resort has a pool for visitors to enjoy.
