Percy Quin State Park covers a large area. The park includes an 18-hole golf course, a motel, cabins for rent, both camper and primitive camping. There is an area for day use that includes picnic pavilions, a swimming pool, tennis courts, and hiking trail. The park offers a boat launch, marina and a fish cleaning area. The park is a mixture of older and newer buildings. All appear to be well maintained and clean. If full, the park would be an extremely busy place.
TravelerRV park with full hookups, showers and laundry. 15 mins by bus to downtown New Orleans. We paid 60 dollars/night.
Friendly staff.

Absolutely beautiful park! Great paved bike trail that you can get to from the campground. Be careful booking a pull thru site if your unit is over 25', they're horseshoe shaped. We could not fit on a pull thru site, and Betty at the entrance was awesome and found us the perfect back-in site that made our stay amazing!
ScoutVery nice and quiet clean

We had a blast at a site right on the water. Panoramic views of the lake. We were able to launch our kayaks right out of our spot and fish all day. Beautiful views of the sunset. We enjoyed the peaceful experience. Cell service: Verizon had no service and AT&T 2 bars.

The owners allow nails and other hazards for your tires everywhere. Most of the people in there are addicts and honestly you will have people coming to your door in the middle of the night looking to score some illegal substances

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.

It was very nice
TravelerWith all the new renovations over the past 4 years this is a much improved campground. Great place to camp or stop if you want to visit New Orleans or surrounding areas.

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)
Traveler
clean, naturally and quiet
no wlan and a bad mobil connection
restrooms and laundry are o.k.
rangers are super and nice
the waterplayground is top for the kids
the street/way to the State Park is very trashy and a little bit scary
RangerArrive 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.

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.
RangerLooking 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!
LegendOur 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.
TravelerPark 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
TravelerCame 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 😂

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.

Pull through site. On grass. Level. With water and 59 amp. Easy to get to. First come first serve so you can come as early as you like and then spend a full day exploring LSU and Baton Rouge. Friendly staff. Wifi at the recreation center. Horses grazing in near by paddock. Easy to bike on the levee to LSU and Baton Rouge.

I went camping for New Years. 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. The hiking trail connects just across the road so easy access but kind of hard to find the trailhead. Enjoyed hiking the trail and had plenty of spots with water along the way for my dog. We hiked on the beach as well and it was quite peaceful we were basically the only ones.
ScoutAwesome area with sun set beautiful as the sun rise!!
GuideWe stayed at spot 31. Near the restrooms but not much through traffic. Dumpster was right next to the bathrooms. Not a lot of street lights throughout the campground made things nice and quiet at night. Spots were gravel and needed a lot of leveling front to back. The site had a very nice deck with a picnic table. The site had full hookups for water, electricity, and sewage. The site had great Verizon and T-mobile cell service, around 50-80 mbps for each. The hiking trails were very nice with lots of shorts and long options. The bike trails were also nice with a lot of different difficulty options to try, you can also rent bikes if needed. Overall the campground was clean, very quiet, very spacious, and is a perfect weekend getaway with fun activities. We camped at Bogue Chitto State Park in a Travel Trailer.
TravelerWe stayed in the Uplands RV area and it was great. Spots were gravel and big so it was pretty easy to back into, with nice patios and not too close together. Some spots had motorhomes on a lift on the front to be level, but most were fine. The bathrooms near us were clean but the showers did have some mold (did not use). The trails are really nice! You can tell a lot of work goes into continual improvement and upkeep.
Bring or rent bikes and canoes! Would visit again , for sure.
RangerFirst trip back since Hurricane Ida. Since my last visit, they have added a lot of tentrr sites in the tent section and 2 or 3 around the lake. The paddle trail is open, and while paddling, I saw a family of otters. There’s only around 2 hiking trails open, one around the lake and a portion of the long trail, which goes to the river, in and out. Spoke with a ranger who stated they think most of the trails will be open in 8 months.
TravelerHad 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😁

We stopped in Baton Rouge on our cross country journey from CA to Florida. We had plans in the area for an authentic swamp tour and a visit to New Orleans. The KOA is a really great place to stay. We arrived late on our first night and rolled in and went to bed. The next day, a Saturday, the KOA serves a home-cooked breakfast (for a small charge.). When you don't have groceries, and you are tired - this was a wonderful treat! The hosts gave us many suggestions on our visit to New Orleans. If you need to go to the store, it is close to many major stores and grocery stores. It was clean and every staff person we met was helpful. They even refilled our propane. It's always nice to meet locals who have area recommendations and we appreciated the hospitality.
Tip: If you are looking for a unique, nature based experience, I highly recommend Captain Ronnie, owner of River of Swamp Boat Tours. He takes you out on the bayou where you see the beautiful scenery, birds, trees and yes, alligators! This was one of the highlights of our trip.
GuideSites 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.
