Ok for a stopover. We had to book 2 nights since it was a weekend. This might be a good place to stay if you were attending an event in New Orleans such as a game. But the sites are super close together and not much shade. They have wifi but when we connected it said ‘no internet’ so apparently it wasn’t working. AT&T cell service was 5G.

Handicap bathrooms are decent but lights are motion censored so can turn off on you while you are in the shower. People at the front entrance are very nice but seem a bit frazzled. They could use more staff to take the load off. I do believe there are homeless people coming in here without paying to shower and stay in their cars from time to time from what I heard from staff. Did not witness this however.

This place is beautiful. Cheap electric and water hook ups, lots of space for each campsite.

It’s a nice park. BUT the site we got was for a 50’ but there’s a fence on the other side and virtually impossible to “back” into. I asked for premium but apparently the website isn’t clear. Since I asked for full hookup we got no septic. We were here for 4 days. We began to put the jacks down and kept stopping, Finally got them down and it kept saying low voltage and couldn’t get the slides out since we were throwing the breaker every time. We had them part in part out and power kept going off and surging. We got here around 2. We called about the power and their help had left already. They called him back and he showed up 2 hours later and is now repairing it in the dark. It’s almost 6 pm and still no power. We told them we just wanted a refund which they did give us eventually. The whole park has a huge issue with drainage. Water was standing everywhere.

We spent 2 nights here & the campground was full of laughter & family fun. Weather was perfect. Level sites, clean facilities & friendly service. Def’ly will return.

Awesome place to bring the family. Had a playground for the kids next to campsite. Walking distance to a picturesque river with lily’s and mangrove trees. Wish the sites were a little more private like state parks I’ve visited in TN where you’re tucked in a pocket of trees.

Beautiful area on the Tchefunte River. Board walk takes you through some of the swampy area along the River. You can fish in river and large ponds, but watch for alligators. Beautiful old house in park area you may visit. Little one really enjoyed playground area. Staff very friendly and helpful, this was our first time camping in our camper and we were happy for advice.

We really enjoyed being able to launch our boat near our site and going across the river to eat at one of the many restaurants along the Tchefuncte. We will definitely stay again! My only complaint was that there is a small yellow fence in front of this back in site and it makes it a tad difficult to line the camper up to back straight in. When our neighbor left, we had fantastic views of the river. One current problem is that the decking along the River is closed due to hurricane damage. Hopefully that will be fixed soon!

Nice little Louisiana SP campground. There are 2 loops here, we stayed in the loop close to the office. If we went back we would try to stay in loop closer to the river. Like many of the Louisiana SP campgrounds there was a laundry room which was nice. There is a short board walk trail and a boat ramp with slips for boats. You are close to many conveniences of town. I would not recommend site 5, it was odd as the neighboring sites picnic table was directly behind our camper. Verizon service was good. Probably wouldn't stay again.

Very friendly place and clean.

Helpful staff. Restrooms with showers. Small laundry room. 50amp and water at location. Some sites have full hook up. Was tight navigating in at my back in location. Sites are narrow. Quiet in the evenings. Easy to get to the Causeway to get into New Orleans.

It’s got everything you need in a beautiful setting.

Tent camped. Some of the tents back up to the woods for privacy and others are more in the middle and closer to the bathroom.

Central Bathhouse:

3 bathrooms each side (males/females) each with a shower

Laundry room with 2 washers & dryers.

Pop machine

Tent Site: Picnic table, fire ring, charcoal grill

Water spigot for all to share

Went to another park close by and only stayed a night before coming back here ⛺️❤️

Beautiful little park with a spot for tents, the cleanest shower houses I’ve seen and a few things to do. There are 2 playgrounds, a boat launch, a small hiking trail and an area you can fish. There is also a small museum called the Otis house.

Small campground with spots right on top of each other.

Says free internet but service at site was nonexistent.

No electric or water at site.

3 men and 3 women bathroom/shower combo rooms that are clean. Only issue is when park is full the wait for the toilets can be long because of showers.

Laundry room (coin operated) available for use.

Little gated entrance with park attendants who take payments for sites. Code for gate given for after hours

RVs located mainly in center. Tent sites behind kid’s playground. Pretty long walk.

Lots of trees gone from last hurricane. Still repairing things.

Our tent site was located on the outer side right next to swamp. It included a picnic table, fire ring, a post with site number where you place your card and you can park on the grass next to your site.

Free to cross causeway into Madisonville but $5 to return to NOLA

Must stop in Cafe Du Monde for beignets!

Very friendly people ❤️⛺️

We visited a few campgrounds in the area and we definitely plan to come back! Girlfriend rates the restrooms as top notch.

We’ve stayed here a number of times and have always enjoy our stay. It’s a nice quiet and clean park on the banks of the Tchefunte River just above Madisonville. 45 minutes from New Orleans. Check out some of the local restaurants in Madisonville.

It's a nice campground not many shady sites only a few. The back of the campground is on the river beautiful back there. Bath houses are clean. Peaceful and nice sights electric is upgraded. No sewer. Traffic on main road outside of campground can be very heavy at times.

The park has a few primitive spots, but everything is small and close. Hiking trail is maybe a half mile, but that’s about it. There is a beautiful boardwalk on the Tchefuncte River, though, with great fishing.

I want to give them a 5, but they have a water problem. It doesn’t take much rain to have standing water in many sites. Lots of the pads are old and narrow. You find yourself stepping out your coach into sloppy mud. The grade on some sites are too much for class A coaches. But if the weather is good and you get a good pad, it’s a beautiful campground.

Quite little camp ground, state park so some sites are full hookup and some only water and power. We have a great view of the river in site 061 but water and power only, dump station only about 75yrds away though...so no issues. Lots of great places near by for food and drink.

Facilities were very nice. Bathrooms were all individual rooms with sink/shower/toilet. Water was hot, showers were clean. Park is really well maintained. Standard state park campsites - Close together, no privacy. It had great cell service, wifi, and was close to lots of activities.

One of the nicest state parks in the area. Very well maintained. Bathrooms and laundry always clean. Bring your boat and park at the parks small boat dock. Fish from the waterfront boardwalk. Save 50% with the America the Beautiful pass.

Enjoyed my stay at Riverside, and had no complaints.

My family went and stayed here for a weekend and enjoyed ourselves very much. It was a cold weekend and was very pleased that the bathrooms were heated.

Quiet, clean, well kept park with pretty river side views. We stayed here for 11 nights in Feb while traveling though the area. We used it as a base camp to go into New Orleans for a weekend (50 mins). The staff is very active in keeping the park clean and maintained. Our favorite things:

1. Great views for short walks
2. Close drive to groceries, resteraunts, and services.
3. 3-4 complimentary washers and dryers (not common).
4. paved pads for RV. (larger RVs like ours use the entire width but smaller rvs get some patio.)
5. Overflow parking for our truck.
6. Bathrooms were clean everytime I went, which is just as much about the guests as the staff. Our least favorite things: Like a lot of state parks there is not a sewer connection (they do have a dump station) but we knew that going in. We were close to the on-site facilities and stretched our tanks for the 11 days.

We would stay here again.

A quiet and well maintained campground. We always enjoy our stopover night here on the drive to Alabama. It is our go-to place. The Otis House tour and other artifacts are interesting and worth the time. We routinely walk the campground road and trails each trip. Once we spotted a few alligators near the boat ramp area. There is also an eagle’s nest viewable from the Swamp Trail. It is very peaceful sitting on the boardwalk bordering the Tchefuncte River. The restroom/shower are individual rooms and huge. The park manager and staff are always pleasant and helpful.

Love this place, small, quiet, close to Bayou & Lake Pontchatrain. Close to good restaurants & fresh seafood.

This is such a lovely park! Just north of Lake Pontchartrain on the river, it’s quaint and clean. We only stayed one evening, but our sunset walk was worth it! Be mindful to choose a spot with lots of shade- we didn’t and regretted it.

Nice State Park on the Tchefuncte River in St.Tammany Parish. Bathhouses are clean and single use so you can take care of using the bathroom, showering, drying your hair...etc all in one private room. RV spots are concrete. Water and electric hookups, no sewer, but they do provide a dump station, has a nice play area for kids, and provides primitive camping spots as well. There is a fishing dock, and a wooden pier trail. We like staying here near our family.

nice family camping, great for bike riding, fishing and camp fires. some nice water front lots. sorry it was raining when we went so not many pictures.

Had a great time. Reserved 3 primate spots for new years weekend. 13 ppl total - 6 adults, 7 kids (ages 4-14). There was a great boat launch spot for the kids to put kayaks and canoes in the water (brought our own gear - no rental)

Pros: quiet and peaceful, no active gators in January, clean and nice bath houses (heated), beautiful setting and views of the river.

Cons: very short hiking trail
