We are a small (14 spots) locally owned and operated rv park right on the Atchafalaya River. My name is Leonard Price, owner and operator of Cajun Country Rv Park. I’m a local, and I live here on site. We have a beautiful and unique location here that was once three different commercial fishing docks. Before that, it was the site of a Union Army Fort built in 1863 to defend the island from invading rebel forces ( the Mosquito Fleet). Right across from the mouth of Bayou Teche, it was a strategic location that could also defend the river pass to the North. We welcome you here for your stay with us. I am around every day, so feel free to come and talk, or ask about the local area.
Big rigs should enter using the Silo Road gated entrance. Call ahead and a park staff member will meet you to open the gate that is normally locked. It is located just west of the main entrance, closer to the aviation museum. There is an old F-4 fighter jet outdoor display nearby.
$35 / night
Guide
We spent almost a week at the New Orleans West KOA in January while exploring the New Orleans area. It was a good base to work from, about 25 minutes from the downtown museums and convenient to places like Destrehan Plantation and Bayou Segnette State Park. There are plenty of good restaurants and shops in the area, too.
Campsites are crowded in next to each other and you cannot see the river because of the levee. On the plus side, a 10 minute walk will have you on the multi-use trail on top of the levee and that is a wonderful place for a walk, jog, or bike ride.
The staff was friendly and helpful. Everything worked at our campsite. I give this 4 stars instead of 5 only because it is so urban, crowded, and lacking a good view.
LegendFrom 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!
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.

Stayed in the parkway loop on the water. Very few folks in the off season but nice. Sites are close and there is road noise but we were one of 5 occupied sites and were spaced out fairly well. Great thing about full timing it is you can hit these parks with very few people staying in them. Wildlife and great scenery.
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.
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.
ScoutMy 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!
GuideI think this is a very nice camping area for both RV’s and tent camping, but it does have some minor drawbacks. There is a protected area on the lake within the park that you can launch your boat and they do have two restrooms with showers as well as washers and dryer’s to clean your clothes. Bathrooms in nearly every camping area across the country I’ve been to aren’t exactly up to home standards, but it is functional. The people working at the park have always been friendly and helpful. I like to tent camp and even the tent campsites have electrical hook ups. The truly bizarre thing about that is we are located in South Louisiana where the temperatures are absolutely brutally hot and majority of the year and yet they have a rule that clearly states you cannot have an air conditioner in your tent. And luckily, I didn’t see that the first four or five times I stayed there and no one said a word. Why in the world could you not hook up a portable AC unit in your tent considering electrical hook ups are provided and AC units make nearly no noise? Speaking of noise, the park is located in just inside a 90° curve in the highway with two sets of rumble strips in each direction. Being located practically within the city limits of Morgan city, or noise from traffic and the rumble strips doesn’t quiet down until well after midnight and picks back up again in full force around 5 AM. I couple that with the majority of the people here wanting their trucks to make the most noise possible, it’s a bit distracting and makes sleep difficult. Like all camping areas, people are going to listen to all manners and types of music but that quiet down significantly after 10 PM. my last trip about a week ago I noticed that my particular campsite was covered in fire ants that would start to build colonies within all your camping equipment left on the ground outside and they also built a major ant city underneath our tent that wasn’t an issue until I was breaking down the camp and the ants decided to scatter all over the tent inside and out.  the fishing is fantastic down here and the wildlife is incredible. You will see alligators of course along with rabbits, black squirrels, osprey bald eagles as well as seagulls and pelicans given our close proximity to the gulf coast. The office has people working in it every day of the week and and there is a Coke machine at the office and they do sell 8 pound bags of ice for $2. Overall, I really like camping here and then will continue to do so as long as no one says anything about having an AC unit in my tent as I would not consider staying in a tent in South Louisiana without one. 
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.
GuideIt’s a pretty decent park but compared to other KOA parks is just alright
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
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
RangerNice KOA. People/staff are really nice. Interesting that houses are on the right when you pull in. We liked that this was 30 min outside of New Orleans so completely away from the bustle of the city. Our spot wasn't that level but we managed. Make sure you have extra blocks for your jacks. We enjoyed our stay here. Great eats just down the road called Seifers recommended by koa.
TravelerStaff were all super pleasant. It’s a KOA so it’s clean and well run. The place is rather small and the RVs are pretty close together, but it’s not as bad if you get the ones that are not on the concrete pavement because the trees provide shade.
Restrooms are clean, and the laundry space is great. Didn’t use the rec room.
Public buses can be used to get into the French quarter
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.
ScoutNice and quiet. Beautiful views. Helpful staff. Cute ducks and squirrels.
ScoutI’ve been here since I was a child, so maybe I’m biased, but I LOVE this campground.
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.
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.
LegendLarge campground and park that has RV areas and tent camping areas as well. There are a few loops in this campground. Some are paved; the further loop where we stayed is not. Our site was right on the water where were could see pelicans diving for fish and other water birds as well.
If you are looking for privacy this is NOT your place. Sites are very close together and we had to make sure our slide did not hit the neighbor's truck side mirror! Also not very quiet. If you don't hear boats roaming around then you can hear children playing in the multiple playgrounds or the neighbor's music playing or overall road noise. It is a good place if you just need a night or if you fish or have a boat I suppose.
Bathrooms/showers are not very convenient and are not very nice. The shower was full of bugs (dead and alive) and though free you had to consistently keep pushing the "on" button to turn the water on for 30 second intervals. Also, you have no choice as far as water temperature. It wasn't too cold or too hot but if you want hotter in the winter or cooler water in the summer, you don't get that option. There was also only one hook for belongings and the door wasn't secure.
There is a laundry room but it was so far from us (in the other camping loop) that we did not go to it even though we picked this place so we could take showers and do laundry.
This campground is convenient and cheap and close to town and the highway but I don't think I would stay here again unless I was desperate. It is nice and well maintained and clean but the closeness of people and the distance to amenities is a no go.
There is trash (no recycling) as well as the aforementioned showers, bathrooms and laundry. There is also a beach area, playgrounds and boating/fishing. There is a fire pit, picnic table and full hook ups at each site for the RVs.
The website is weird because the "off" and "busy" seasons seem opposite and from other reviews they had disputes over the cost, so we weren't sure what to expect, but we paid $20 online for a Monday night and the nice office ladies didn't say anything when we were checking in.
LegendWe stayed here to restock and refresh before going to Mardi Gras in New Orleans.
Nice bathrooms and showers, and nice large laundry room which even had a dispenser to buy laundry soap.
Power and water at sites, and a dump station on the way out.
Garbage bins throughout campground. No recycling bins.
The campground had a very swampy feel, water pooled everywhere and I kept an eye out for alligators though I didn't see anything other than cute little tiny frogs in the laundry room and our power pedestal.
Nice campground overall though we didn't spend much time outside due to the muggy stuffy weather when we were there in late Feb.
We arrived too early to go to the site so they had us wait in the day use area where there are playgrounds and picnic areas.
ScoutI reserved online at a rate of $40 for Saturday night and $20 per night for Sunday and Monday. I was told at check-in that I owe an additional $40 because the online reservation charged the wrong rate for Monday and Tuesday. In addition to that, the lady at the office was extremely rude. She kept talking over me when I tried to have a conversation about the problem.
She adjusted my check out date so I wouldn’t owe more $, but she’s still trying to over-charge me for one night. Problem not solved.
