    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.

    New Orleans West KOA

    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.

    Lake End Park Campground & Marina

    Good For An Overnight

    Large 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.

    Hidden Oaks Family Campground

    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.


Guide to Laplace

New Orleans West KOA is located 25 minutes from the French Quarter, offering travelers a strategic base camp for exploring the greater New Orleans area. Campsites near Laplace typically sit at elevations under 10 feet above sea level, making them vulnerable to seasonal flooding. The subtropical climate brings hot, humid summers with temperatures routinely exceeding 90°F and mild winters with occasional cold fronts dropping temperatures into the 40s.

What to do

Explore New Orleans: Sites like Bayou Segnette State Park Campground provide easy city access. "Short drive to French Quarter," notes Lisa P., who found the park's facilities well-maintained with "level pads, wooden deck fire ring, plenty of room for tents, laundry room bathroom & showers were clean."

Try local cuisine: Several campgrounds are near authentic Louisiana eateries. "Charlie's Restaurant very good & lots of food," reports Annell N. from her stay at Baton Rouge KOA. Many campgrounds offer recommendations for traditional Cajun and Creole dining options within 15-30 minutes by car.

Explore water trails: The region's waterways provide paddling opportunities. At Indian Creek Campground, site 39 "has 2 access areas for kayaks, canoes, etc." according to Cat R., though she cautions "the water looks kinda nasty, so this girl won't get in it! Very nice kayaking" nonetheless.

What campers like

River access: Water features prominently at several glamping locations near Laplace. Tickfaw State Park Campground offers unique swamp experiences where "we took a few hikes around the river as well as some late night walks along the boardwalk hoping to see a gator," writes Allyse, who enjoyed the "beautiful and secluded state park."

Convenient city access: The New Orleans RV Resort & Marina (formerly Lake Pontchartrain Landing) earns praise for its location. "This is a hidden gem in NOLA, it's fifteen minutes to the action," writes Alana F., adding that despite its industrial surroundings, you'll find "beautiful plants etc. nice space and plants in between each campsite so you have privacy."

Laundry facilities: Multiple campgrounds offer free or low-cost laundry services. MickandKarla W. noted at Tickfaw State Park: "They actually have a laundry room with 3 washers and dryers costing both $1.75 to wash & dry. However, there was not a change machine in the laundry area."

What you should know

Security considerations: Several campgrounds implement security measures. At Three Oaks & A Pine RV Park, located approximately 15 minutes from the French Quarter, "a coded gate that closes at 8pm" provides added security according to Allison N., who also mentions it's "by a train depot, so there is considerable noise."

Flooding risks: Low elevation means water issues. Crystal C. notes that at Bayou Segnette State Park, "if you arrive post rain, you are being brave to run electricity across grassy areas." Other reviewers mention seasonal campsite closures due to high water.
