Mostly long term residents in residential mobile homes, motor homes, fifth wheels, and travel trailers. Some are in need of repairs and power washing. Not an RV resort. That’s the bad. Now the good. Location, location, location; 30 minutes from New Orleans, $600 a month or $175 a week (as of 11/2024), electricity and water included in price, FHU.
Legend
Nice campground. Close to a couple ferries to get across the Mississippi. A few campsites appear to be exempt from the 14 day stay as they are junkie and cluttered. Most site are water and electricity only. Dump station is set up with the sewer receptacle in the middle of the lane. Cellular signal is decent. Nice staff.
Guide
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 !
LegendNice 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.
LegendGood: easy in, hard top sites, good location near NOLA, very nice staff, grounds kept clean. Bad: rough road entering campground, needs work. Ugly: nothing.
GuideWe 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.
Traveler
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.
Scoutreally nice campground, showers, bathroom, mirrors, laundromats, garbage (&racoons), loud animals during the night, 20 minutes of drive to be in downtown new orleans
GuideWhy 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.
TravelerGreen, quiet, access to nature. Nice nature trail. Birds.
ScoutWe 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
GuideGreat 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.
LegendGood option to visit New Orleans. Grassy site which are nice. Bathhouse could be better maintained.
TravelerI 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
GuideLoved our site! It was huge! Nice walking trails and close enough to town that you could ride your bike. I did not like the laundry options. The machines were fine but resented that I had to sign up for an app and add my credit card info to that app for it to work. Had to add a minimum amount and now I can’t find another campground that uses that app so I’m kinda out of that money until I find another laundry facility that uses this app.
GuideAlready left a review, just trying to add pictures.
ScoutGreat option for staying over near New Orleans. 20 minutes east of city. 50 campsites. 1-15 very spacious back sites closer together. I like 3 and 11. Clean bath house laundry kids splash park area. Nearest big stores about 15 minutes away so stock up beforehand. 20-28 dollars a site.

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.
ScoutNice 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.
GuideWe stayed here for a week while visiting friends in Nola. It wasn’t a great location to the city as it was about 40 minutes away. It was a great price at about $20 a night and dispersed spots. Had a nice trail that we took the dogs on.
LegendWe 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!
GuideThe 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.
LegendThis family oriented campground was busy during the Easter weekend- pro analysis due to its proximity to New Orleans. The campsites can accommodate pretty much anything from tents to big rigs. Most sites are large with good spacing between sites, but not much privacy between sites. The campground, as we as the restroom/shower house, is well maintained. Electric & water hookups. Water actually tasted good. Heard sounds of ATVs riding in the distance. Very quiet at night.
RangerNice campground and good value for proximity to NOLA. 12 miles from Bywater/French qtr. park on Rampart and walk the 1/2 mile to the quarter. Buses are available but it seemed like it would take three buses to get anywhere. Spacious camp sites. Hook ups. Nice to see diversity of users at this campground compared to white folk of the north running from the cold (which I’m one of 😊). Friendly and helpful staff. Nature trail is worth a walk!
RangerCampground 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.
ScoutWe stayed here for 3 nights in a pop-up camper, used the bathhouse. This campground can't be beat for access to New Orleans and price, but it was badly damaged in Hurricane Ida in 2021 and has not been maintained very well. The bathhouse was clean but not ventilated, so it was always wet. One temperature for showers - hot! At least it wasn't cold. And all the nice trees in the surrounding bayou are now either down or at an angle that assures they're going to die. They cleaned up the trees from walkways and roads, but nowhere else. We heard this park is the biggest moneymaker for LA, but compared to other LA parks we stayed at, they're not using the money here. Still, sites are reasonably large and level, quiet at night despite the closeness to the city, and the price can't be beat.
LegendWe really enjoyed Bayou Segnette. It was safe, clean and well cared for. The sites were big with plenty of space between! It was a great place to stay while we did the Jean LaFitte swamp tour and checked out New Orleans.
