This park is way south in Louisiana. It was a super interesting area to explore. We had some of the best fried chicken we have ever had from a gas station! The beach view isn’t the greatest with oil rigs dotting the horizon, but it is such an interesting area and we are so glad we checked it out! The campground was nice and it also had free laundry which is a huge plus!

I camped here while visiting NOLA over Fourth of July weekend 2015. I made last minute reservations just a few days in advance which was smart as the campground seemed pretty full when I got there. The campground had full service bathrooms that were mostly clean (there may have been showers, but I don’t remember as I didn’t use them). My site (#30) was large and right on the bayou making it quite scenic. As I’m not from this part of the country I don’t know if there were gators in there or not but if there were, my tent was quite close which may be a concern for some. I was tent camping (read no RV), which made for quite a sweaty night sleep. There wasn’t much privacy from the surrounding sites, but most everyone else was in an RV or trailer. The bathrooms were quite far from our site with a necessary walk across a patch of swamp filled with mosquitos. Did I mention the bugs in this park were relentless (but honestly as to be expected when camping in a bayou). The state park was a bit hard to find and I had to call and ask for directions a few times. The park itself was quite large with various different amenities including boating access, a nature trail (see video), a playground and a swimming complex. I was in town to explore the heart of NOLA so I didn’t use many of these features, but I imagine it would be great for families. For travelers passing through this park offered cheap accommodations only 20 min outside of downtown NOLA. Though I must advise that if you are only brining a tent you may be quite sweaty during your trip! Overall this campground had well maintained facilities, was full of friendly folks and satisfied my basic needs.
GuideWe camped here while going to a nearby music and arts festival. Very nice facilities, clean, potable water, flushing toilets, the basics. Conveniently located to events and attractions in New Orleans. Can't wait to come back next year!

Guidegreat place to ride bikes and walk trails. lots of woods and space. good fishing and boating.
LegendUpon a whim I was very excited to make an impromptu trip to New Orleans during a very busy festival weekend. Unaware of just how difficult it would be to secure accommodations I decided to check out the local state park, located just a few short miles outside of New Orleans proper.
Information about the campsite was relatively generic, a few good reviews but nothing substantial enough to give me ideas about what exactly to expect. A few videos existed and it seemed like a very interesting place to stay but again with no real feedback steering me one way or another.
I took the plunge to book online since there was limited availability and crossed my fingers that it would fit the bill for a location which met all my needs and exceeded my expectations. I will say it did not disappoint!
Running a bit behind on our travel schedule we were not able to depart until later in the day, which meant we would arrive late into the evening. I called ahead to the campground to let them know we were in fact coming, and boy was I glad I did for several reasons.
Calling ahead when you are running later than typical checkin is valuable in that they will not resell your campsite but also, like in this case, if the park itself has an alternative entrance for campers for post business hours entrance. The park ranger we spoke to gave me a very detailed account of the directions, which proved crucial in the darkness of the night and the confusion of the park's second entrance. Without these instructions we would have simply given up on the campground when arriving late and been very frustrated.
Instead, we were able to enter and find the camping loop and in doing so find our campsite itself. Herein was the only real negative, post a sizable rain, apparently someone had arrived and elected not to stay in their designated campsite and instead had moved their large tent into our reserved site. While their site, just next to ours was left open, and plenty large enough for our much smaller tent, the entire incident could have been avoided if this park would have marked the site like many others do when sites are reserved and prepaid with simple place markers on the posts. Had this have been the case there would have been no confusion late into the evening. We were able to set our tent up, however so we let it slide and just went to sleep in the muggy night.
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. To avoid these we found that keeping the lights off til we were inside the tent was crucial. Those not wanting to feel the Deep South, need not camp here!
By morning, we noticed small rabbits hopping around camp and birds singing to wake you as early as 5:30. The sun starts beaming down by 7:00 and outside the temperatures are quite pleasant til around 9:30 before it starts heating up.(At least in early July)
The first real look we had at the campground was impressive, each site includes water and electricity, a picnic table and grill. The roads around camp are paved and marked for single direction traffic. All sites are compatible for RV or tent campers and are priced equally for each at $33 per night.
Bathrooms are centrally placed on each of the two camping loops and include free laundry and playgrounds. Boardwalks cross throughout the camp for those walking through from one side to the next to allow them bayou views without the swampy feeling grass under their feet.
In addition, a RV dump station is available for those needing one at the entrance and is well lit, otherwise camp has a dim glow at night so to not attract additional bugs in the night.
We met several campers at our visit, everyone was friendly at the campground. With plenty of facilities for social interaction you can enjoy your family or make new friends at the pool, boat dock, shoreside cabins, hiking trails or wave pool.

All in all of 5 Bunnies I would rank this campground 4 of 5 Bunnies. Though bustling and busy on the weekend it remained quite and calm. The location was a short drive or ferry ride from the city making it have the comfort of the outdoors with the city flair we were seeking. The only negative came from the marking system which could be improved upon, however the staff was very friendly and helpful following the incident and made right of the incident.
Tips For Camping At Bayou Segnette:
LegendLoved this location! 10 minutes from the quater. There are swamp tours just outside the gate of tge park. Well keep. Facilities were ok. Free washer and dryer, but people were fighting over them. Lots of wildlife in the park. The site at the end of the road had a small gator when they woke up.
TravelerThe people are very respectful and most importantly it was very clean here. Definitely will come back again.
RangerPads are level, wooden deck fire ring, plenty of room for tents, laundry room bathroom & showers were clean, playground well kept. My boys enjoyed the fishing. Short drive to French Quarter.
TravelerNice little campground 20-30 minutes from NOLA. Perfect spot for camping outside of the city. The facilities were clean and well maintained. The mosquitos were fierce after dark. Short drive to Barataria Preserve for seeing wildlife. Sites are are large but watch what side your picnic table may be on.
GuideFairly large area an can take almost any size RV. This park has a laundry room in the shower house / bathroom and free internet. (although usually very slow) It's about as close to New Orleans as you can get at a state park. Staff is good with helping with directions.
GuideI stayed here for two nights while visiting New Orleans. At check in I asked for a tent site and was told every site is a tent site. I arrived at the space I was assigned and there was very little grass areas and NONE FLAT. Meanwhile I look across the road at several empty sites that would have been very accommodating, lots of flat grass! Yes I should have driven back to the office, but it’s a long distance from the office and campsites and I was tired and decided to make it work. BTW I have a small backpacking tent, anything larger and I definitely would not have fit!
The second day we had a very heavy rainfall and the location I picked for my tent completely flooded. I had to drag my tent to a slightly higher very slopped spot in the rain.
Given how few tents I saw at this campground, couldn’t the registration office have a list of which sites might best accommodate a tent??
GuideNice sites. Close to town with stores and restaurants. Just across the Mississippi River from New Orleans.
ScoutThe park has RV sites, tent camping and rental cabins on the lake. Fishing, sightseeing, relaxing. Its all here!
ScoutLots of great spots with shade, 2 play grounds, one in each section. 2 bath houses with laundry facility. Cabins on Bayou Segnette, boat launch. Close to fresh seafood. 20 minute drive to Downtown New Orleans.
GuideThe park is really nice, excellent sites and great amenities there’s a lot of room for bike riding. Great boat launch some of the best fishing you’ll ever find and if you go out on the boat make sure you bring some marshmallows to feed the gators. The wave pool in the summer is usually overcrowded other than that it a nice park.
LegendWe stayed here to be close to New Orleans. It is still a bit of a drive into the city, but there is a ferry you can take also. You still have to drive to the ferry, but it is supposed to be closer. We didn’t use the ferry though. This is a nice state park that has pretty scenery and free laundry!! It’s a little cutthroat in the laundry room, but if you can get a machine it is pretty nice to be able to catch up on laundry for free!! The sites were level and spacious and they had trash cans at just about every site that was a nice bonus. This is our first LA state park and we are very impressed! If you are in a RV, be careful coming in - there are some massive speed bumps! We were ok, but our neighbor thinks he cracked his coach on one of the speed bumps.
GuideLarge campsite with 100 spots filled mostly with RVs.
Pros
Cons
GuideThis was a great place- especially for an overnight. Easy to navigate through the park- all concrete. This site was level. No wifi, but AT&T cell service worked fine. Water and Electricity with dump station on site. Trashcans conveniently around the park.
GuideNicely wooded campground. Some ambient traffic noise. This is a good campground for day trips into NOLA.
LegendLocated only 15 minutes from the heart of New Orleans!! The campground is spacious and each site is separated by trees or bushes. It’s very affordable like most state parks are, which is a plus. The bathrooms and showers were heated and clean, but I did have a tree frog join me during my morning shower. The laundry room charges $1.75 per load and there is no change machine FYI. The sites flood easily due to the marshland climate so be aware of that. Our site even came with a deck which was nice. Overall we enjoyed our stay very much so!
TravelerT
RangerNot sure if theyjust had rain ornot but water is standing every where. Did not have reservations and was assigned site 12. Wouldn't have been my choice, but there wasn't that much to choose from.Park was actually pretty decent, just didn'tlive upto the hype I have read. 30 & 50 amp & water at the site. Asphalt pad pretty level. Decent cell ATT & Verizon. OTA TV had channels, but did't really check it out.
Highlight was Westwego Shrimp Market 2 blocks away. Great prices on fresh shrimp.
ScoutWe showed up to a swampy site (it’s a bayou after all) full of mosquitos. As soon as the sun went down, the termites flooded every light source. By the next day things seemed to drY up a bit and we were able to enjoy the wildlife and some great fishing. Our site was large with H2O and electricity. Our neighbors put a real damper on our stay with their 6 dogs, loud TV in the tent and fighting at all hours of the night - but that’s circumstantial.
GuideWe live nearby so we have camped here countless times and attended many events here. This is the first place our youngest camped, and she has asked to have multiple birthdays here. I normally wouldn't review a state park so highly, because generally they aren't remote or secluded enough. Yet in this case I am just genuinely glad we have this resource so close to the city.
The campsites are standard, but be cautious of water, this is a bayou after all. We stayed in a cabin once and balked a bit at the price and the 2 day minimum, but wow. They are more like floating condos. They are roomy, clean and decorated much better than I expected.
In our many visits over the years we have come to know a ranger or 2. And one thing I know is that these people care about this place alot.
