    Tickfaw State Park Campground

    True Louisiana atmosphere, fun for every age!

    Every time we visit this park (which is a lot) we are able to have a new and fun adventure!

    When my children were very young. This was one of the first places in the area to have a splash park for my children to run and play while staying cool in the south Louisiana heat.

    Move up a few years, Tickfaw has provided myself and children with hours of fun, safe and informative hikes along the well maintained boardwalks through South Louisiana swamps.

    As my children have grown we have still been able to explore the park further by utilizing the campgrounds! The tent camping section has defined/ private tent sites with picnic tables, and parking next to each site. The Rv park also boost a fun and family atmosphere, with fishing ponds, bike riding, canoeing, and primitive hiking. All with clean and air conditioned restroom facilities easily accessible to all sites.

    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

    Land-O-Pines Family Campground

    Pleasant campground

    Land-O-Pines is a nice private RV park near Folsom and Covington. We stayed two nights because my daughter was in a horse competition at a nearby horse farm. The sites are mostly shady. The streets and sites are gravel and can get a little muddy in spots after a rain. The park was clean and quiet, and the staff was friendly. About half the sites are for permanent users. 

    Stayed in pull-through campsite C69 which was shady and level. It was a gravel site. There was enough parking for my 34 ft TT and truck. Neighbors are nearby by not on top of you. The site included: picnic table on gravel, no fire ring. Utilities: 20/50A electric near the middle. The 20A receptacle looked like it had some minor burn marks. Water next to power pole, good pressure. Sewer near power pole with 4 non screw-on fitting. 

    AT&T had 2 bars of LTE and Verizon full bars of LTE service. AT&T Speedtest: 30.8 Mbps down, 3.6 Mbps up. Verizon Speedtest: 4.5 Mbps down, 11.8 Mbps up. WiFi available, but did not use. Required a login. 

    Would stay here again. We camped at Land-O-Pines Family Campground in a Travel Trailer.

    Looks like a blast!

    Traveling through for the night. Just a few minutes from the interstate. Spacious sites. Friendly staff. They are upgrading many things in the park like electric, location of setups, etc. Has fishing and more. This park looks like a blast to come to on holidays for the family. They already have Christmas decorations up, a train ride ready and more! No doubt a great place to bring the family. Will stop by next time through. Hope it's when festivities are going.

    New Orleans RV Resort & Marina

    Interesting location, a hidden gem.

    The biggest drawbacks are the drive up and the ... Flight for life? Helicopter that keeps passing over. The amenities are top notch, the sites are great. The price is a premium, but it's legit. We wanted a presidential site for its private hot tub, but apparently the one available isn't free for our duration. We got one next to it and it shares the excellent Waterfront view. The communal pool and hot tub are great to relax in after our long drive in. Looking forward to exploring the city which is right down the road.

    Tight spaces, good location

    The spaces are a bit tight, only RV spots have a fire pit. Showers are well kept but the place smells musty. The location can’t be beat and the employees are great. Very safe area and convenient shopping places nearby. Short drive to downtown. Good Wi-Fi, good laundry and dish cleaning area. Would stay again but I wish the small camper area would be more spaced out and have fire pits or grills. Nice little playground and the pool looked good as well.

    Tickfaw State Park Campground

    Highly recommended, but busy on weekends.

    Went for a few nights solo camping (with my dog) in late January, so we had the tent area to ourselves until Friday afternoon. Really impressed with the cleanliness of the grounds, but some of the fire pits and grills could use some work. Great variety of campsite layouts, as well as a couple of wheelchair friendly ones. Facilities were clean and plentiful. Several miles of trails showcasing the beauty of southern Louisiana. Will definitely be going back.

    Fun family campground

    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.  The campground has a river running through it making it a great option to go up river and kayak back down.  

    The campground is split into 2 sides - primitive and RV.  A general store sits in the middle for any necessities.  We setup our tent area in the primitive area near the river/beach area.  It has many trails to walk through, open areas for activities, bath houses, and more.

    Bayou Segnette State Park Campground

    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.


Guide to Kenner

Glamping near Kenner, Louisiana offers a unique opportunity to explore both the bayou wetlands and the vibrant culture of New Orleans. Located just 15 miles west of New Orleans, Kenner sits at an elevation of only 3 feet above sea level, creating a distinctive swampy ecosystem that campers can experience year-round. The high humidity levels, especially during summer months, make climate control a priority for glampers visiting from May through September.

What to do

Kayaking on waterways: New Orleans RV Resort & Marina provides direct water access for exploring the local canals. "This is a hidden gem in NOLA, it's fifteen minutes to the action. And a beautiful campsite. It's right on the water so you can see yachts and boats come in and out," notes Alana F.

Wildlife viewing: Tickfaw State Park Campground offers extensive trails with opportunities to spot local fauna. One visitor mentions, "Had a great time at this beautiful and secluded state park. Took a few hikes around the river as well as some late night walks along the boardwalk hoping to see a gator (no such luck). Saw some cool wildlife none the less though."

Historic plantation tours: While staying at New Orleans West KOA, you can easily access nearby historic sites. "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," says Jennifer H.

What campers like

Proximity to French Quarter: New Orleans RV Resort & Marina earns praise for its location. "So glad I decided to stay here. This is a great park tucked away from everything yet only 15 minutes to bourbon street and 10 minutes to Frenchmen," shares Richard.

Shuttle services: Campers appreciate transportation options from their glamping sites to attractions. At New Orleans West KOA, one visitor notes, "The KOA offers transportation to the French Quarter for free! It was such a nice perk! The pool is very nice and the sites are clean, level and spacious."

Security features: Three Oaks & A Pine RV Park provides safety measures that glampers value. "I'm a single female traveler and I did not feel unsafe. It has showers, laundry, a coded gate that closes at 8pm, and a nifty human size chess set," explains Allison N.

What you should know

Weather preparedness: Louisiana's climate can be challenging, particularly at Bayou Segnette State Park Campground. A visitor advises, "Pack A Fan - it is the bayou and with that comes a lot of humidity. I suggest a battery operated fan for your tent of RV which can be directionalized toward each party."

Neighborhood surroundings: Some glamping sites are located in unexpected settings. "This campground is in a neighborhood. Seems odd, but it works. They have night security. With the AC on, it was pleasant," reports Craig F. about New Orleans West KOA.

Seasonal considerations: Holiday weekends book quickly at certain locations. At Hidden Oaks Family Campground, a reviewer observed, "This park looks like a blast to come to on holidays for the family. They already have Christmas decorations up, a train ride ready and more! No doubt a great place to bring the family."

Tips for camping with families

Water activities for kids: Hidden Oaks Family Campground offers unique water features. "The campground has a river running through it making it a great option to go up river and kayak back down. We setup our tent area in the primitive area near the river/beach area," says Shaun B.

Playground access: Multiple campgrounds feature play areas for children. At Bayou Segnette State Park Campground, a camper notes, "Pads are level, wooden deck fire ring, plenty of room for tents, laundry room bathroom & showers were clean, playground well kept. My boys enjoyed the fishing."

Halloween events: Special seasonal activities create memorable experiences. "This park looks like a blast to come to on holidays for the family. No doubt a great place to bring the family. Will stop by next time through. Hope it's when festivities are going," shares Robert M. about Hidden Oaks Family Campground.

Tips from RVers

Leveling requirements: Tickfaw State Park Campground offers specific site recommendations. "Our site, #37 on the tent loop, we had enough space as well as privacy. We went the weekend after Thanksgiving and the park was not overcrowded and the weather was perfect," reports Paula W.

Site selection strategy: At Bayou Segnette State Park Campground, site positioning matters. "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," recommends Caitlin R.

Water pressure considerations: When glamping at New Orleans West KOA, watch for utility details. "The water quality is good. Bring a pressure regulator as it seems to be higher than normal pressure. Each site has a picnic bench, fire pin and grill. Asphalt parking area for camper," advises Ron R.
