Shuttle / Transportation
Air Travel
In 2011 we had campers come from 50 different states, Canada and Mexico. The closest airport is New Orleans International (MSY). The camp site is located at Nicholls State University in Thibodaux, Louisiana (60 miles west of New Orleans, and 60 miles north of the Gulf Coast).
There is an airport shuttle service available for campers between Louis Armstrong (New Orleans) Airport and Nicholls State University that costs $50 round trip (or $25 each way). This service is provided by an outside company and is only offered on Thursday, July 12 (check-in) and Sunday, July 15 (check-out).
There is a $10 fee for any shuttle cancellations.
Campers who choose to use the airport shuttle will take the airport shuttle to the Airport Hilton. There is a holding area at the Airport Hilton complete with TVs and complimentary refreshments. Shuttles will leave the Airport Hilton for camp every hour.
Other than this shuttle service there is no other transportation provided (due to insurance issues). You may want to pursue information at:
