Three Oaks & A Pine RV Park
Made a hellish trip bareable
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)
New Orleans RV Resort & Marina
Nice Park, 5 Miles from French Quarter
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.
New Orleans West KOA
Great amenities and nice staff
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.
New Orleans West KOA
Clean and Great Cozy Campground
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!
Fontainebleau State Park Campground
Large State Park
Our RV GPS and Waze took us from I-12 through town to the campground (CG). Check-in at the gate was quick and friendly. We then proceeded to the South CG to back-in site 138; 50 AMP and water. The road to the site was a bit narrow for our 40’ 5th wheel and F450. To our surprise, there was a drainage ditch across from our site that made backing in difficult. When we reserved online, we did not see the ditch on the campsite map, but it’s clearly marked on the CG map we received at check-in. We are above-average backers and had to maneuver quite a bit, but we finally got in. We do not recommend this site for any pull trailers over 35’. The good thing about 138 is that it’s one of the few spacious sites in the CG. The sites across the road are smaller and closer to each other. We also posted a picture of the CG map. Also, not available online was a 50% senior discount that was applied at check-in. We had no issue with the utilities. There are a lot of large trees in this loop but we were able to get a clear north shot for Starlink. We had three bars on Verizon. There are plenty of long sites, but big rigs need to choose their sites carefully i.e. read reviews and possibly call the park concerning specific sites. There’s lots to do and see in this state park, but it wasn't really our thing, so we likely won't be back.
Fontainebleau State Park Campground
Great last min solo camp
Park was nice, bathrooms were clean. Site was a good size, plenty of shade. I didn’t have any neighbors so that was nice! Tons of wildlife to be seen. The raccoons are smart, and not scared of humans, lol
Fontainebleau State Park Campground
Great camp
Came for the weekend as a last minute solo camp. Tons of wildlife! Clean park with hot showers! I would definitely lock all food in your car. Raccoons around here will unzip your tent and rob you 😂
Pinecrest RV Park
Friendly and helpful staff.
It's a pretty big R. V. Lot. $50 per night on average. Quiet and peaceful. Not too many mosquitoes flying around, but if you plan on going to new orleans that uber will cost you about sixty bucks one way ;). There's a laundromat 2$ for wash and 2 for dry. And a dollar general right across the street in case you need some little things.
Fontainebleau State Park Campground
A night of tales
Awesome area with sun set beautiful as the sun rise!!
Fontainebleau State Park Campground
Lovely
Had a lovely time here, nice warm/hot showers, clean bathrooms, very friendly staff and decent pricing!
Would have loved to stay the day and explore the beach and walking trails they have there. Maybe next time😁
St. Bernard State Park Campground
Great Spot—Bring Bug Spray…
We really liked this state park. Super friendly staff, clean restrooms, clean and inexpensive laundry facilities, lots of space between sites. But bring your bug spray. We stayed when it was fairly damp outside and the mosquitoes were ferocious! We would definitely stay here again when in the area. It was quiet and a good place to stay to visit New Orleans.
New Orleans West KOA
Great Location, good park
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.
Swampman RV Paradise, LLC
Quiet picturesque rv park with a great owner
Located bayou side with open grounds is this very quiet, professional rv park. Very pet friendly, an accommodating owner and very clean everything made my stay here memorable.
Great fishing on the dock, wonderful cookouts and an abundance of friendly people made this one of my favorites.
New Orleans West KOA
Super convenient
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!
Three Oaks & A Pine RV Park
Safehaven in an area with Lots going on!
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!
Fontainebleau State Park Campground
Great place to stay
I love this place. It has easy access to the Tammany Trace bike path, hiking trails, a beautiful beach and incredible views of Lake Ponchartrain. I was only going to stay two nights but extended my stay for two additional nights. I really didn’t want to go when I left but I had to ease on back towards home so I could be there in time for Christmas.
Fontainebleau State Park Campground
Beach was fantastic
We loved our trip here! Playground, beach and splash pad were fantastic. Clean bath houses and very nice staff. I would suggest staying in the lower numbered sites, they are newer are larger, great for big rigs! Lots of pull-through sites that aren’t on top of your neighbors. Some of the higher numbered sites you can tell are a bit older and closer together.
St. Bernard State Park Campground
Amazing
really nice campground, showers, bathroom, mirrors, laundromats, garbage (&racoons), loud animals during the night, 20 minutes of drive to be in downtown new orleans
Fairview-Riverside State Park
Great place!
This place is beautiful. Cheap electric and water hook ups, lots of space for each campsite.
Fontainebleau State Park Campground
Great Location and Amentities
Stayed for a couple of days; weekend into weekday. It was a 50% reduction in people from weekend (full) to weekdays.
Super easy access to the causeway: took us 50 mins to get to the WWII museum and 15 mins to a Whole Foods. Sites are well spaced apart and easy to get into. Between their website and Google Maps, it's really easy to pick a site you'd prefer.
Campground is perfectly located in the park, near the beach and trails, but not too close to worry about day traffic.
Fontainebleau State Park Campground
10/10 would recommend
This is a great campsite for swimming, BBQ, dogs, and kids alike
New Orleans RV Resort & Marina
NOLA on the water
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.
St. Bernard State Park Campground
NOLO oasis
Green, quiet, access to nature. Nice nature trail. Birds.
New Orleans West KOA
Okay as KOA goes
It’s a pretty decent park but compared to other KOA parks is just alright
New Orleans RV Resort & Marina
No wifi
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.
New Orleans RV Resort & Marina
Interesting location, a hidden gem.
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.
Military Park New Orleans Joint Reserve Base/NAS Aviation Arbor RV Park
Awesome Military Campground
Great location, clean sites and facilities, well spaced between sites. $30 a night. Quite part of base.
*There are gators in the water filled ditch along the sites.
