    Fantastic location

    We stayed at the park for 2 nights as part of a countrywide RV holiday from Europe. This park was head an shoulders cleaner nicer, tidier than our previous parks. The check-in team we're lovely and went through everything and also what we could do in the area. Lovely pool and restaurant with great prices.

    The shower rooms were also immaculate.

    We picked a deluxe waterside plot which was opposite one of the spare moored up river steam boats.

    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)

    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.

    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

    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.

    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

    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.

    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😁

    McLeod Water Park

    It’s okay I wish our experience would have been better next time we will get a better spot

    So McLeod wasn’t bad at all like I said I just wish our experience would have been better. We had lot 67 which when we first parked we didn’t have anyone else on our little road besides us til the weekend. You couldn’t really see it from the site, but across the road was the river. There was a walking trail at the end that led to a little sand bar which was nice, but had to be extra careful bc of the roots and huge holes in the ground that was also filled with beer cans 🙄 our spot didn’t have a fire ring or a grill my husband had to walk to one of the other vacant spots to use that grill which was a little aggravating but whatever. The roaches THE ROACHES WERE HORRIBLE. Especially at night as soon as you’d open up the door they were flying EVERYWHERE, we camped in August 🤦🏼‍♀️. I ended up having to put poisons out in the camper when we got back home bc it was impossible keeping them out 🤮 the nature trail could seriously need a little more tlc buuutttt besides that me and my husband loved to ride our bikes around the campground and our daughters loved the play ground and little splash pad! We spent most of our time at the playground! It’s really not that bad of a park. We didn’t really like the drinking and people riding on their boats blaring obnoxious music, but that’s just our personal preference and only happened during the weekend.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Great Place

    Great place to chill in water while camping during the summer! We booked last min so didn’t get to really pick our site. We were up in the front and didn’t really have any trees around that gave any kind of shade! Pools and lazy river was about the only entertainment but for adults it was fine!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
