    Bayou Segnette State Park Campground

    Stayed for a week

    I was here for a week.  The security is great.  The spots are quite level.  The water quality is good.  Bring a preasure regulator as it seems to be higher than normal preasure.  Each site has a picnik bench, fire pin and grill.  Asphalt parking area for camper.

    New Orleans West KOA

    Clean and safe place to stay in the New Orleans metro area

    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.

    Grand Isle State Park Campground

    Wonderful spot on the Gulf of Mexico

    We spent New Year's Eve 2024/2025 at Grand Isle State Park. Our spot (pretty much all of the spots) was a five minute walk from the beach. You cannot actually see the Gulf from the campsites because of a levee. Even on December 31, though, there were swarms of mosquitos, the only reason why Grand Isle gets 4 stars instead of 5.

    Park staff was friendly and helpful. The roads were good. The electricity and water worked just fine.

    Jude Travel Park

    Decent

    Has all amenities. Pool very cold. And hot tub is boiling. Once you check in it’s really hard to get ahold of anyone in the office. They were very kinda and accommodating for checking in. No change for laundry and clothes lines are not allowed. Cats everywhere and a ton of dog poop in the front area next to the pool. The owners dog was running around and scared the life out of ours.

    Nothing really near by other than the bus stuff for down town.

    The do have a shuttle but Uber is usually cheaper and fast and much more flexible.

    Jude Travel Park

    Average city campground decent price

    Right next to the road on the rougher side of town. But! Gated. Well kept. There is a shuttle to town available $10 each way or the bus stop is right across the stress. The pool and hot tub are lovely. Quite a small park. No real area to walk or explore. The dog area is small but nice. Very kind owners.
