LegendFrench Quarter RV Resort
The Ultimate RV Base Camp for the Big Easy
Calling 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.
