Hidden Oaks Family Campground's spacious sites and river access offer excellent pet-friendly camping options near Hammond. The park allows pets throughout the grounds with standard leash requirements in effect. Both Hidden Oaks and nearby Fireside RV Resort accommodate dogs at campsites, cabins and RV sites, maintaining clean grounds that work well for pet exercise. Tickfaw State Park Campground and Fairview-Riverside State Park similarly welcome pets with designated pet-friendly areas. Most campgrounds maintain standard pet policies requiring leashes, proper waste disposal, and pets to be attended at all times. Sites typically have enough room for pet gear, though spaces can get tight during holiday weekends when decorations and festivities take center stage.
The Tchefuncte River access at Hidden Oaks provides dogs swimming opportunities during warmer months, while Fireside RV Resort's well-maintained grounds offer walking paths suitable for leashed pets. Most parks enforce quiet hours that include pet noise restrictions. Campers should bring portable water bowls, waste bags, and pet identification, as local wildlife encounters are possible. Punkin Park Campground allows pets but receives consistently poor reviews regarding cleanliness and safety issues that could affect pet experiences. Veterinary services are available in Hammond approximately 10-15 minutes from most campgrounds. The region's high humidity and summer heat requires extra water provisions and shade consideration for pets, particularly during afternoon hours when ground surfaces can become uncomfortably hot for paw pads.
"Beautifully kept resort with nice full hook up camspots, fences in dog park, pools for adults and kids, camp store, bar, grill, lake and hot tub."
"I enjoyed walking and sitting along the lake in the mornings. The noise from the interstate was a small detraction. Bathrooms could have used a little more attention."
from $45 - $130 / night
Check Availability"Last trip was good but site 35 is very close to 33. The fire rings are within 30 feet of each other and can hear other campers talk, however the primitive sites were nice."
"Went for a few nights solo camping (with my dog) in late January, so we had the tent area to ourselves until Friday afternoon."
"This is probably my favorite place to visit in Louisiana. The primitive camping sites are on little peninsulas just big enough for you and your group, so it's truly private."
"Hung out in the primitive area for a few days with my dog Dahli. Lots of wildlife (human and otherwise)! Overall a great trip"
"Had a playground for the kids next to campsite. Walking distance to a picturesque river with lily’s and mangrove trees."
"We always enjoy our stopover night here on the drive to Alabama. It is our go-to place. The Otis House tour and other artifacts are interesting and worth the time."
from $18 - $33 / night
Check Availability"We were on spot #138 and were close to the dump and the camp host. Very convenient for using the tote. This is a bit older park, but we liked it. "
"This is a beautiful state park located on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain ( 30 min north of New Orleans)."
"this campground has been around for a long time. It has great festive activities for the seasonal holidays and a general laid back mind set year round. Halloween decorations were in full effect. "
"Great place to camp or stop if you want to visit New Orleans or surrounding areas."
from $50 / night
Check Availability"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!"
from $65 - $150 / night
Check Availability"The store on site gives easy access to any items you may have forgotten. Live music happens on special weekends, as well as holiday related activities for kids."

from $40 - $75 / night
Check Availability"My campsite was right next to the bathrooms which was super convenient and surprisingly not noticeably busy. Thought I would have access to the water but didn’t."

TravelerBij de receptie waren de mensen erg behulpzaam. Zwembad is aardig, hottub ook fijn. De plekken waren heel netjes. Fijn dat het vlakbij de French Quarters ligt waar je makkelijk lopend erheen kan. Een groot nadeel is de enorme lawaai van verkeer!!! De prijs daardoor vind ik exorbitant !
TravelerReserveren van deze plek ging soepel! Heel erg vriendelijk gastheer. Wij mochten onze rv langer laten staan dan uitrij tijd omdat wij geen parkeerplek konden vinden dicht bij onze tocht met de boot! Geweldig geholpen. De camping is klein maar aangenaam om voor een nacht te blijven. Wat geluid van verkeer, maar niet storend voor de nacht. Liever hier staan op het gras dan op een resort met beton platen 😃
TravelerWe stayed at site CU037 and had a wonderful time! Our spot felt private and secluded, with plenty of wildlife all around us. We saw squirrels, raccoons, deer, lots of birds, and one surprisingly noisy armadillo! At night, we could hear owls and coyotes, which made the experience even more memorable.
The bathrooms and showers were clean, with plenty of hot water—a welcome comfort while camping!
It was a beautiful place to slow down and enjoy nature. Our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer. We’d happily come back!
TravelerDe mw. bij de Office was keurig. De camping is vreselijk.. voor diegenen die voor een nacht blijven. geen schaduw, geen grill of picknick tafel. Resorts in Amerika zijn duur en je staat met je RV als op een industrie terrein. Noodgedwongen hier moeten staan, helaas!
GuideIt does have high traffic, but quiet in campground. Big campground, with mostly FHU sites. Back in sites and pull thru also. Bath house also has laundry. The park and beach areas are awesome. Second year camping here, cause pretty darn sweet
GuideOverall, I'm pretty pleased with Percy Quin. Grounds are well kept and it's very peaceful - I can barely hear any road noise.! I'm at one of the premium primitive sites (raised wooden tent beds, tables and chairs but no electric or water) situated along the lakeshore. Some of the chairs need to be replaced or removed, and perhaps they should put the site letter markers facing the parking area instead of the water; but the restroom has AC! The RV sites seem very nice as well. There are large hickory nuts falling from the very tall trees. I have yet to be hit in the head with one bu
ScoutWas invited to come down and check out the rv resort met some great people
LegendCalling French Quarter RV Resort a 'campground' almost misses the point. This compact, walled RV oasis occupies roughly a city block just off I-10, with 52 flat, paved full-hookup sites and essentially zero traditional camping atmosphere: no woods, no shade and no tents. But that's also its genius: you're staying in your own RV within walking distance of the French Quarter. The grounds remain remarkably clean and secure for such an intensely urban setting, and the courtyard pool and hot tub provide a surprisingly relaxing place to recover alongside a stiff Mai Tai after a long day pounding the pavement in New Orleans. Recent 2026 reviews continue to praise the cleanliness, staff and location, while confirming that shade remains nonexistent.
While my earlier review goes into considerably more detail, I thought I’d revisit this campground with a quick topline of HIGHLIGHTS and LOWLIGHTS along with a fresh batch of photos.
HIGHLIGHTS: (1) Location is the killer attraction here - you can park the RV and walk into the French Quarter rather than attempting to navigate and park a big rig in downtown New Orleans; (2) the walled, gated property and overnight security create a reassuring little 'cocoon' from the surrounding city; (3) sites are generously sized for an urban RV resort (roughly 30' x 60') flat, paved and equipped with full 20 / 30 / 50-amp hookups; (4) the central courtyard, pool and hot tub are genuinely useful amenities rather than decorative resort fluff after a day exploring the city; and (5) clean private showers, laundry and other well-maintained facilities make this exceptionally easy urban camping.
LOWLIGHTS: (1) You're paying handsomely for this location, with current rates running roughly $105–$250 / night and event pricing capable of pushing things substantially higher; (2) elevated I-10 sits immediately alongside the property, so highway noise comes with the address, although the passing by traffic noise becoming less intrusive at night; (3) there is virtually no shade, greenery or traditional campground ambience - so bring your own shelter or shad; and (4) this is RV-only territory, so tent campers need not apply.
Insider’s Tip: I’d still choose one of the less-expensive standard sites rather than automatically paying for a premium site. I-10 is sufficiently close that you're unlikely to achieve true silence anywhere, and the basic sites deliver the same real prize: a secure place to leave the rig while you go enjoy New Orleans. If you're walking into the Quarter, daylight is preferable; use a rideshare coming back late at night.
LegendA surprisingly convenient no-frills overnight option in New Orleans with plenty of room to pull over, settle in and get some sleep without straying far from the city. It’s basic street-side parking, so don’t expect amenities or campground-level peace and quiet, but for a free night in an otherwise expensive city, it gets the job done nicely. Not somewhere I’d linger, but absolutely somewhere I’d use again for a quick Big Easy overnight.
Happy Overnighting!
Camping options near Hammond offer a mix of waterfront sites, wooded areas, and varied terrains across the Gulf coastal plain. Most campgrounds sit at elevations under 100 feet, making them susceptible to seasonal flooding after heavy rains. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 90°F with high humidity from May through September, while winter nights can occasionally drop below freezing between December and February.
Kayaking and canoeing access: Tchefuncte River at Fairview-Riverside State Park provides calm waters perfect for paddling. "There's a beautiful boardwalk on the Tchefuncte River, though, with great fishing," notes Brandon R., who visited in April 2021.
Wildlife viewing opportunities: Look for alligators, turtles, and diverse bird species at Tickfaw State Park Campground where multiple trails showcase southern Louisiana ecosystems. Sean S. commented, "Really impressed with the cleanliness of the grounds... Several miles of trails showcasing the beauty of southern Louisiana."

Shaded camping areas: Mature trees provide natural cooling during hot months. Sandy P. appreciated the atmosphere at Fireside RV Resort, noting, "The park is clean and I love the abundance of trees and shade. Beautiful pool, lazy river, and pond."
Diverse camping options: Campgrounds offer variable site layouts from primitive waterfront to full-hookup RV pads. At Indian Creek, a visitor found, "Primative sites are all by the water!! Awesome place," highlighting the appeal of waterfront sites for tent campers.
Weather impacts: Low elevation means sites can flood during rainy periods. Dean and Dodie B. caution about Fairview-Riverside State Park, "They have a water problem. It doesn't take much rain to have standing water in many sites."
Wildlife precautions: Alligators frequent water bodies at many campgrounds. Cat R. warns about Bogue Chitto: "DON'T FEED THE GATORS. Literally, don't feed the gators. There were signs everywhere... When my hubby rustled a bag, several alligators swam right up to our site!"
Facility conditions: Maintenance varies between parks. One reviewer noted of Punkin Park, "There are derelict travel trailers laying around. Very muddy, when it rains, with ankle deep water," indicating potential issues during wet conditions.
Holiday weekends fill quickly: Reserve holiday campsites far in advance. At Adventures RV Resort, Amanda B. advises, "Plan ahead, they do 3 weekends of Halloween in a row and they book crazy fast (we booked a full year in advance)."

Site selection considerations: At Sun Outdoors New Orleans North Shore, Nancy W. advises, "There are pull-thru and back-in sites. Sites, roads, and patios are paved and level and come with a picnic table and fire pit. There are two and three-rig 'buddy sites' which are great for camping with friends."
Seasonal price variations: Monthly rates offer substantial savings for extended stays. Nancy W. also noted, "Weekly, monthly, and seasonal rates are available and heavily discounted... Our monthly rate reduced the nightly cost from $60 to $22."

Shaun B. found Hidden Oaks Family Campground accommodating, noting "The campground is split into 2 sides - primitive and RV" with "many trails to walk through," providing options for pet exercise areas beyond campsites.
