living in camper (rent, homes, buy)

[mikeydoo21]

hi to everyone,my name is mike i am originally from galveston tx.am living in new mexico now,but truly miss the south,more caring friendly people there than all the other places i have visited.i have visited louisiana and always found the people really great.i was wondering if anyone could tell me if there are places in the boonies that a middle aged guy could find to park and live in a camper without the county or whoever saying you cant live in a camper.where i am at now the county is breathing down my neck and is going to make me move my camper,i could lose it all together if i dont find a place to move it,am disabled and live off a small social security check.i stay to myself and try not to bother anyone but cant seem to find anywhere that i wont be bothered with,just trying to find a place to live out my days in peace.even if i do find a place somewhere else it is going to be a chore for me to get it there since i only have a car.all i need is water and someplace to plug into electric or i could possibly do without electric or get a generator.any help would be wonderfull

Hi Mikey,

I have seen a lot of RV/Camper style parks in the central and northwest regions of Louisiana spring up over the years. If you have some income, you will be able to afford a space. I believe if you look for advertisements in Louisiana, or even travel along the older highways, you will eventually come across a deal.

I'll see if I can find some links for you. I believe there is an area or two (in several towns) around Toledo Bend that offers parking. I say this, because that area is really nice, in my opinion.

Can you buy a small piece of land? Most towns I am familiar with do not have strict codes about this type of lifestyle, because there is no zoning.

Any boonies, I am familiar with, have no zoning restrictions. In some locations it is common for people to live in RV/Camper style homes.

From my experience, it is safe to say that you will be allowed.

yeah thanks,kind of hoping to hear from someone who has property out in the country that it might not hurt to have someone out there to keep an eye on things.a wooded area or really whatever,i have nothing but free time on my hands and would like to do some fishing to pass the time.could pay rent for a place to park it,i am kind of a loner,like to have a few close friends,have barbeques and so on.do not like to be in the cities or being piled up around neighbors and really love the quite country life
