I was coming down to New Orleans to look at some property and this park was convenient. On the way down, both of my front tires blew and I had to replace them out of pocket leaving me pretty strapped for cash.
I have never felt so welcomed anywhere. Melissa was so kind and helpful. When my AC went 3 days into my trip, she reminded me there was a lounge (that is rarely used) where I could work and that my dogs were welcome to chill in there with me.
She even made sure that I had enough water.
The restrooms are clean and private.
There is even a little dog run for the pups.
I will never stay anywhere else if I am in the city. (Well until the Orange Dragonfly Center is opened but we can talk about that later)
Pros:
Super convenient to the French Quarter or anywhere else in the city.
Melissa is amazing!
Dog Run
Lounge
Private shower
Cons:
The neighborhood isn't the greatest
I did get attacked by fire ants (which were taken care of as soon as it happened)
Arrive from Tiki Toms in Tiki Island, TX. We stayed for 2 nights on our way to Alabama. This resort sits approximately 5 miles from downtown New Orleans. It is a great onsite restaurant with a fabulous pool. The sites were spacious and well-maintained. A recommended stop to visit NOLA.
From reservation to checking to assistance onsite the staff have been so helpful and pleasant. We swam, did laundry, shopped in the small store, got food delivered and enjoyed full hookups.
It’s a 25min ride into the heart of New Orleans (French quarter) so not the closest but the neighborhood seems fine, it’s quieter and pretty chill out here. Nice to retreat to at the end of a long touristy day. Some great swamp tours near by (Ragin Cajun) and easy to check out Oak Valley and the Whitney plantations.
Looking for a clean and pleasant place to park your camper new NOLA. This is it. Man we fell in love on the only night we stayed. The owners and staff are super pleasant and super helpful. The campground offers plenty of amenities for the size. We plan on returning!
Areas of the park were closed and quiet as it was the beginning of the season.
Most of the sites are uneven, but have electric and water hookups for $30 a night. Bathrooms decent.
We biked around the huge campground and there was lots to see. About 20 mins from New Orleans! We took a Lyft and enjoyed the city for a day. You can get an RTA pass online for $3 and ride public transit including the famous streetcars. A must !
Nice sites. Sites are spaced apart giving you some room. Some decks and picnic tables need repair. Easy in and out with 31 ft class C with toad.
Good: easy in, hard top sites, good location near NOLA, very nice staff, grounds kept clean. Bad: rough road entering campground, needs work. Ugly: nothing.
Sites were level concrete. Nearly all back in but skilled staff helps you back in. WiFi was good. Bathhouse clean and adequate. Great location for visiting New Orleans. Recommend Charles Seafood down the road.
My husband and I are traveling across the country for our honeymoon and have never been to New Orleans. We were pleasantly surprised to find this KOA here, which is super convenient if your trying to see the city on a budget. The staff is super friendly and accommodating with lots of recommendations for the French Quarter and what we should check out. They also run a shuttle bus back and forth during the day which is cheaper than an uber or taxi. Definitely will stay here again on our next visit!
I loved this place. Nice, clean, safe, lovely office manager, laundry station, shade, picknick tables and a cute rooster :-) Oh and let’s not forget the Jummie figs, we were allowed to pick and the limes!
Nice & easy clean resort. They pick up your trash by noon, LP pickup/refill, shower hot, store, pool, hot tub, sitting areas with rockers, laundry, dog area and great restaurant/sport bar. Had excellent crab cake and bisque. -2 roadways to enter/exit resort. A car can drive toward north but some potholes would not advise RV on road toward lake pontchaitrain.
Why we booked: It was either this or a private campground that's closer to the city but an RV parking lot that costs 4x.
Campground: Run down at best. Place needs some serious love, especially the asphalt.
Quirks: It's a good little drive into the campground. It's also CRAZY dark at night, so your choices are blasting lights and blinding campers or running over a possom.
Site: Meh.
Nearby: Riding bikes around the park was pretty sweet. Saw lots of birds and a few gators. The stroll around the campground was pretty okay, as well. But as soon as you leave the park, you're fighting traffic that's fighting veteran potholes.
Value: Probably fair.
It’s a pretty decent park but compared to other KOA parks is just alright
We had problems with the campground the moment we got here Staff was very unhelpful When we got to our campsite there was water exploding out of the hook up They gave one of the spots we reserved to someone else The only positive is it’s a beautiful area
NO free wifi provided. I used my hotspot for 3 days but could not use my hotspot for 2 days later. Called Verizon and Verizon had no issue. Bad place use my own hotspot.
The biggest drawbacks are the drive up and the ... Flight for life? Helicopter that keeps passing over. The amenities are top notch, the sites are great. The price is a premium, but it's legit. We wanted a presidential site for its private hot tub, but apparently the one available isn't free for our duration. We got one next to it and it shares the excellent Waterfront view. The communal pool and hot tub are great to relax in after our long drive in. Looking forward to exploring the city which is right down the road.
Good option to visit New Orleans. Grassy site which are nice. Bathhouse could be better maintained.
I wanted to give this place a good review but…Site was dirty with cigarette butts and the grill was not cleaned out in what looked like a long time. Fire pit was still smoldering. Bathrooms were out of toilet paper and soap. Told the receptionist at the front gate. It was still not restocked. Bathrooms were dirty and very moldy shower curtains. Looks like it was once a nice place but not anymore. Needs some updating and someone needs to take some pride in their job and at least clean and restock the bathrooms
Nice KOA. People/staff are really nice. Interesting that houses are on the right when you pull in. We liked that this was 30 min outside of New Orleans so completely away from the bustle of the city. Our spot wasn't that level but we managed. Make sure you have extra blocks for your jacks. We enjoyed our stay here. Great eats just down the road called Seifers recommended by koa.
Staff were all super pleasant. It’s a KOA so it’s clean and well run. The place is rather small and the RVs are pretty close together, but it’s not as bad if you get the ones that are not on the concrete pavement because the trees provide shade.
Restrooms are clean, and the laundry space is great. Didn’t use the rec room.
Public buses can be used to get into the French quarter
We stayed on a beach site in October of 2020 and it wasn’t too crowded - all of the sites are in a line down the beach front but there’s decent space in between each spot and they back up to the dunes. It’s a gorgeous beach front to walk down and it’s decently isolated from developed areas of grand isle. There is a picnic table at each spot and we hid our food container underneath it, however we didn’t secure it enough and animals got into it over the night. There is no cover or respite from the sun or sand, and the bathroom is near the parking lot. Perfect time of year because the nights were cool , however you can’t avoid an early wake up with the sun and heat in the morning.
Great RV resort and Marina. Right on the canal waterway and only 10 minutes in good traffic to the French Quarter, 20 to the Garden District and zoo. Clean spacious spots, freshly paved. Don't let the road in past some industrial and manufacturing warehouses fool you. This is a great spot to stop and has a restaurant on-site as well.
Nice place to spend some time. Lots of room in the campsite. Quiet, pet friendly. Clean bathrooms and showers. Playgrounds at each of the restroom buildings. Laundry is also available $1.75 each for wash and dry. Very humid- but it is New Orleans, after all. A few trails to hike. Can also launch a boat to fish. Pool was closed while we were there (July 2022). But seemed like it would be fun.
We booked this very last minute to meet family in NOLA.
The bathrooms were kept clean. The campground was nice. Getting around was a bit confusing but the lady on the phone gave very detailed instructions since we were arriving after hours. The wooden platform on our site seemed like it was on its last legs.
Our neighbor was an employee of the park and he and his wife were absolutely a treasure!
Also, coming from camping in Gatlinburg the month before (18 degrees) to here, we were not prepared for how hot and humid and full of bugs it would still be at the end of December. Lesson learned!
The front desk staff were knowledgeable and helpful with recommendations, maps and literature. I do also suggest taking the ferry into New Orleans. The price for a site was half price for folks 62 and older. The sites were spaced out well and there was plenty of level ground for setting up. There were a few playground areas that seemed to be enjoyed by families and walking the dog on the pathways and road was pleasant. I would recommend this park to friends.
Campground is closed to the public post Hurricane Ida. Camp sites are being occupied by displaced locals. Locked gate with 24/7 guard at the gate.
This is just off 90 and is as mall family run campground. The sites are back in and there are full hookups. Very close to New Orleans.
