GuideMcLeod Park Campground
Well laid out park on the river.
Park layout is nice with probably 150 sites +/-. Some are close together. Others are well spaced and situated for some privacy. No one on site at night so when it gets loud or rowdy, you're on your own.

Nice for families!
My husband and I took our 3 small children to camp and visit the waterpark for the weekend. The RV sites in Treasure Cove are worth it if you are going in the dead heat of summer, as the many shade trees help keep you cooler to enjoy sitting outside. Would definitely visit again!
Evelyn M.ScoutNew Orleans RV Resort & Marina
So awesome!
In a rather industrial area, but the park is beautiful. Palms, marina, it's like an oasis. It's close to all attractions - just couldn't be better

Small Campground close to City Centre
This is a small campground, but overall it’s a good place to stay. The positives: The location is very convenient. It’s easy to get to the Basin Lot with an RV, where you can park a large vehicle for $12 for up to 10 hours and then walk to the French Quarter in about five minutes. The bathrooms and showers were clean, and the host was genuinely friendly and welcoming.
The downsides: The noise from the nearby road and train tracks can be quite noticeable. That said, since you're staying in a city, it’s hard to expect complete peace and quiet at night. As other reviewers have mentioned, the surrounding neighborhood isn’t the best, and we unfortunately experienced that ourselves. We went outside the campground one evening and immediately had an unpleasant encounter, which led us to return to the campground fairly quickly. Of course, this isn’t the campground’s fault. The property itself is well secured with gates and fences, and we felt safe while inside. If you're looking for a campground as a base for exploring New Orleans during the day, I can definitely recommend it. I would just suggest avoiding walking around the area after sunset.

Bad area
Off of a main street, surrounding area isn't one to walk around in. It's gated but doesn't feel safe. Seems like mostly long term residents.

Ok location
Campground is cute but a bit outside of NOLA. People are very nice. Showers are old but clean and could use some repair. Otherwise good.
ks K.TravelerIndian Creek Campground
Great city campground
Great wilderness camping. I stayed for 4 days and it was pretty crowded. My spot didn't have sewage and no one told me during the registration. There are sites with and without sewage. Make sure to ask while checking in. Otherwise everything was ok. The sites are concrete pads and pretty level. Each site has a fire pit and bench table.

Guide to Abita Springs
Camping facilities near Abita Springs include state parks and private campgrounds within 35 miles of town. The region sits at just 26 feet above sea level, resulting in the characteristic bayou landscapes and humid subtropical climate. Water features prominently in local camping experiences, with many sites situated along rivers, lakes, or within swampy terrain where summer temperatures regularly exceed 90°F.
What to do
River kayaking expeditions: At Bogue Chitto State Park Campground, visitors can experience diverse water activities. "There are wonderful hiking, biking, and horse trails. Canoeing and kayaking was a short drive away," shares Cat R. The park features multiple water bodies including streams, ponds, and the river with designated swimming areas.
Seasonal festivities: October brings Halloween-themed activities to several campgrounds. At Adventures RV Resort, the experience is particularly family-focused. "I'll be honest, the campground is old and run down and I probably wouldn't visit here outside of Halloween but highly recommended for some great family Halloween fun!" notes Amanda B. The campground closes roads for trick-or-treating during Halloween weekends.
Nature trail exploration: Tickfaw State Park offers natural immersion on boardwalk trails. "Very clean, well kept state park. Hiking trails, equestrian trails, tubing, camping... they've got it all," explains James L. of Bogue Chitto. Several trails showcase the native cypress and swamp ecosystems, with elevated boardwalks keeping visitors above wet terrain.
What campers like
Wildlife viewing opportunities: The wetland environments support diverse animal sightings. "This place is crawling with gators in the lower portion on the lakes. Hey this is south Louisiana," mentions Larry about Bogue Chitto State Park. Another camper reports, "We saw plenty of wildlife such as turkey, deer, rabbits, turtles, alligators and birds."
Water recreation access: Multiple parks provide direct water access for various activities. At McLeod Park Campground, "Our site was right next to boat launch. It was very beautiful," notes Ann H. The park includes river frontage with boat ramps and water play areas for children.
Convenient city access: Campgrounds offer proximity to New Orleans while maintaining natural settings. "Great location for NOLA. Large campsite with 100 spots filled mostly with RVs," shares Caitlin R. about Bayou Segnette. Most campgrounds within 30 minutes of New Orleans provide transportation options or easy highway access to city attractions.
What you should know
Wet conditions and insects: The low-lying geography means campers should prepare for damp conditions. "You have to expect muggy conditions when camping here, it is a bayou, scale back your bedding to light weight materials and just be prepared for mosquitoes," advises Crystal C. about Bayou Segnette State Park Campground. Insect repellent is essential throughout the camping season.
Campsite variations: Site quality and features differ significantly between campgrounds. "The sites are a bit tight, only RV spots have a fire pit," explains Lindsey G. about New Orleans KOA. At other locations, primitive sites may lack amenities like electricity or water hookups but offer more privacy or waterfront positions.
Weather considerations: The subtropical climate affects camping comfort throughout the year. "In the back they aren't and it really looks like you park where you want. Lots of people brag about their activities but all the times we've been here we've never known about any activities," comments Nichole B. about Adventures RV Resort, highlighting inconsistent experiences between visits.
Tips for camping with families
Splash pad access: Several campgrounds feature water play areas designed for children. At McLeod Park, "They have a splash pad and playground for the kids," notes Ann H. These facilities provide structured water recreation options beyond natural water bodies.
Playground availability: Kid-friendly amenities enhance the camping experience. "We go every year for Halloween, run down but still fun for kids to trick or treat. Cabins are decent if have friends that need someplace to stay," reports Nicole R. about Adventures RV Resort. Many campgrounds maintain year-round playground access even when water facilities close seasonally.
Activity scheduling: Organized events vary by season and location. "There is mini golf (18 holes), canoeing, kayaking, petal boat rental, 'mining for gemstones', fishing, a giant slide, 3 pools and a hot tub," Jill N. describes at Adventures RV Resort. Weekends typically offer more structured activities than weekdays.
Tips from RVers
Site levelness: Concrete pads provide stability at several locations. "Full RV hookups. Large shower stalls with locking door. Great walking trails. The grandkids loved the splash pad/water slide and easy access to the river," shares Therese A. about Bogue Chitto State Park Campground. RVers should check site specifications before booking.
Utility considerations: Water pressure and electrical availability vary between campgrounds. "No dip in electricity at peak usage. Good water pressure. Free laundry for campers," notes Therese A. about Tickfaw State Park Campground. Some sites require pressure regulators due to higher-than-normal water pressure.
Security features: Several campgrounds implement security measures for visitor safety. "The security is great. The spots are quite level. The water quality is good. Bring a pressure regulator as it seems to be higher than normal pressure," advises ron R. about Bayou Segnette State Park. Gated entry and staff patrols enhance security at many locations.
