    Grand Isle State Park Campground

    Really Nice Park

    This state park is located at the very tip of the Island. It is a beautiful spot that allows you to camp directly on the beach with tents and a stones throw from the beach in an RV. There are about a dozen tent sites and probably 30 RV pull through spots with water and electric hookups. The shower and bathroom are air conditioned and are very well maintained and there is even a dish washing station right outside the wash center. It is $18 a night to camp with a tent and I believe it’s $30 for a pull through spot (in the off season). Only downside to this park is that the gates close at 10 PM and if you’re not already registered to camp (with the key code for the gate) you won’t be able to camp here if you are arriving late and there are no other camp sites for tents on the island. So show up early and enjoy!

    Bayou Segnette State Park Campground

    Dirty bathrooms/site

    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

    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.

    New Orleans West KOA

    Tight spaces, good location

    The spaces are a bit tight, only RV spots have a fire pit. Showers are well kept but the place smells musty. The location can’t be beat and the employees are great. Very safe area and convenient shopping places nearby. Short drive to downtown. Good Wi-Fi, good laundry and dish cleaning area. Would stay again but I wish the small camper area would be more spaced out and have fire pits or grills. Nice little playground and the pool looked good as well.

    Nice state park pretty close to New Orleans

    Nicely wooded campground. Some ambient traffic noise. This is a good campground for day trips into NOLA.

    Three Oaks & A Pine RV Park

    Convenient location and basic amenities

    About 30 back in gravel slots, the neighborhood is not very scenic but it’s a good location right off I-10 and 15 minutes to the French Quarter. I’m a single female traveler and I did not feel unsafe. It has showers, laundry (though a few machines don’t work), a coded gate that closes at 8pm, and a nifty human size chess set. The prices seem to change by season and during events so call in. It is by a train depot, so there is considerable noise. There’s a snow ball stand going south on Chef Hwy on the right that is worth the excursion though I promise 😂

    Bayou Segnette State Park, LA

    Located 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!

    Grand Isle State Park Campground

    "A quaint drinking town with a fishing problem"

    So many ways to break this down

    1. The campgrounds. RV and tent camping sites are all pull through. Not big spots, no privacy or shade ... location, location, location. They all have fire pits, water and elect. Some have separate grills. The Tent only sites are on the beach. You have to carry your gear, no driving on the beach. Pick a site closer to the bath houses - there are 2. Big bath houses, plenty of showers.

    2. The Park. There are 2 piers for saltwater fishing as well as a dock for inlet fishing. There are other small marshy areas to fish depending on the tide.

    3. The town. Grand Isle is all about being at the end of the world and fishing. Be prepared to see cars parked along the side of the road and people fishing from any spot there is water. There is water everywhere.

    We were not prepared to do serious fishing on this trip but still had a blast. We played with crabs in the inlet, put our feet in the Gulf, watched shrimp boats. There is a hiking trail, but at high tide it is flooded so you can't access it.

    No matter the time of year or the wind speed - BUG SPRAY IS A NECESSITY!

    Bayou Segnette State Park Campground

    Great location for NOLA!

    Large campsite with 100 spots filled mostly with RVs.

    Pros

    • 20 minutes from NOLA
    • friendly staff! we arrived late at night and staff let us check in the AM! They’ll also let you drive through to pick an available spot.
    • very clean laundry room! Loads were $1.75
    • hot showers :)
    • stop at Joe’s Donuts for beignets :)

    Cons

    • bathroom design is meh. Not sure if they have ventilation so the floor always seemed wet. Many things are starting to rust. Bathroom stalls are awkward size/position.
    • most sites don’t have privacy. Some have privacy on one side. We liked 81 and 84 for this reason and close to the bathroom’

Guide to Belle Chasse

Camping near Belle Chasse, Louisiana provides access to Mississippi River Delta ecosystems where bayous, marshlands, and river channels converge at elevations rarely exceeding 10 feet above sea level. The subtropical climate creates year-round camping opportunities with winter temperatures averaging 50-65°F, making December through February optimal for avoiding both summer heat and the region's notorious mosquito population.

What to do

Wildlife viewing excursions: 15-minute drive from Bayou Segnette State Park Campground connects campers with guided swamp tours where alligators, turtles, and wading birds thrive. "Upon 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," notes Crystal C.

French Quarter exploration: 20-30 minutes from most Belle Chasse area campsites via the Crescent City Connection bridge. "Short drive to French Quarter," confirms Lisa P. about Bayou Segnette State Park Campground, making it possible to enjoy both city attractions and natural settings in the same day.

Gulf fishing: 60-mile drive south to Grand Isle State Park Campground provides access to premier Gulf of Mexico fishing. "Great beach tent camping. Fantastic facilities including FREE laundry. Great crabbing! Just throw a chicken neck on a string and just pull them in," shares Stephanie J. The park offers fishing piers, beach access, and tent sites directly on the sand.

What campers like

Secure camping environments: Heightened security measures at New Orleans RV Resort & Marina give campers peace of mind while storing gear and exploring the region. "This is a hidden gem in NOLA, it's fifteen minutes to the action. And a beautiful campsite. It's right on the water so you can see yachts and boats come in and out. The grounds are maintained very nicely, beautiful plants etc. The employees in the office are super kind and helpful," notes Alana F.

Affordable proximity to New Orleans: Budget-conscious travelers appreciate Three Oaks & A Pine RV Park for its value. "Very affordable, paid $30 for full hookup, compared to other RV sites near the city were about triple the price. You can Uber into the french quarter for about $12 and takes 15 minutes," shares Andrea.

Spacious, level sites: Campers consistently mention the quality of campsites at area parks. "Pads 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," reports Lisa P. about Bayou Segnette State Park.

What you should know

Weather fluctuations: The subtropical climate brings unexpected conditions year-round. "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!" warns Sonyia W. about winter camping at Bayou Segnette.
