Business of the Week - Green Acres Campground

When Greg and Debbie Accardo purchased Green Acres Campground in July 2006, they had no idea the RV Park serves as "the unofficial embassy" of West Feliciana Parish. "We've welcomed international visitors from dozens of countries," Debbie Accardo said. In fact, too many to recount, she says.

However, one particular set of visitors sticks out, Greg Accardo says. "One weekend last spring, a couple from Berlin, Germany checked in to the campground. They flew in to the U.S., rented a RV, and began touring the South. Later that weekend, another couple from Berlin arrived - doing basically the same trip - and the couples did not know each other. We thought that was incredible - right here in St. Francisville," he said.

Green Acres has welcomed visitors from every state in the U.S. "Spring and Fall are our busiest times," Debbie said. "They come near and far for pilgrimage, azaleas in bloom, cycling, motorcycling, historical home tours, the food - you name it."

Meeting and getting to know the visitors is among the most enjoyable aspects of owning Green Acres, says Greg. "The people that travel through here are among the nicest you'll ever meet," he said. "We try to offer Southern Hospitality and help them see all this great parish has to offer."
