Best Glamping near Grand Isle, LA

63 Reviews

Grand Isle State Park Campground houses upscale glamping accommodations at the southernmost tip of Louisiana, where the Gulf of Mexico meets pristine shorelines. The park features elevated glamping experiences with modern comforts including electricity, comfortable sleeping arrangements, and scenic waterfront views. "Beautiful is an understatement! We camped right on the beach. The beach was very clean... Beautiful sunsets and sunrises. We saw baby dolphins and crabs," noted one visitor. Located approximately 110 miles south of New Orleans, these accommodations blend outdoor immersion with resort-like amenities including spotlessly clean bathroom facilities, air conditioning, and private outdoor spaces ideal for relaxation.

The glamping sites provide direct beach access with spectacular Gulf views where guests frequently spot dolphins swimming offshore. Fishing enthusiasts appreciate the two dedicated piers for saltwater fishing, alongside marshland fishing opportunities that vary with the tides. According to a camper, "This is a wonderful place to go. Me and my family went when they had the boat blessing and had a blast." The eco-friendly accommodations remain open year-round, though visitors should note gates close at 10 PM for registered guests only. The park offers free laundry facilities—a rare amenity for boutique camping experiences. Wildlife viewing, beach walking, and birding complement the experience, with numerous shorebirds and skimmers visible throughout the day. Mosquito protection is essential regardless of season when enjoying this unique coastal glamping destination.

    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!

    Wonderful spot on the Gulf of Mexico

    We spent New Year's Eve 2024/2025 at Grand Isle State Park. Our spot (pretty much all of the spots) was a five minute walk from the beach. You cannot actually see the Gulf from the campsites because of a levee. Even on December 31, though, there were swarms of mosquitos, the only reason why Grand Isle gets 4 stars instead of 5.

    Park staff was friendly and helpful. The roads were good. The electricity and water worked just fine.

    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!

    Cool night on the beach

    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.

    Bring your bug spray!

    It is a long drive to the end of Grand Isle, but you are rewarded with a nice state park with clean amenities. Large flat pull-through sites (much larger than we needed but they can accommodate large RVs). Bathrooms are among the cleanest I have ever seen in any state park. Free laundry is a nice perk but do it early (I was first at 7 am and it piled up soon after). Beach access. Not nicest beach but ok. The $25 fee does not include a $6 processing fee (only applicable for the first night) or tax. The only thing I didn’t like were the vicious mosquitoes!

    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

    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.

    Bayou Segnette State Park Campground

    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!

    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’
