LegendMostly long term residents in residential mobile homes, motor homes, fifth wheels, and travel trailers. Some are in need of repairs and power washing. Not an RV resort. That’s the bad. Now the good. Location, location, location; 30 minutes from New Orleans, $600 a month or $175 a week (as of 11/2024), electricity and water included in price, FHU.
ScoutConvenient to Morgan City, pull through & back in., sunny & shady, great museum featuring aviation, shrimping industry, and Louisiana sawmill industry, Wifi, sewage hookup, water hookup, available for short or long stay. Neatly kept by Parrish. Ball fields, horse shoes.
LegendDespite being just a stone’s throw from the historic famed district that you’ve come here to revel in and perhaps catch some beads here in NoLa, French Quarter RV Resort (FQRV) is a small slice of respite in an otherwise busy, traffic-jammed section of the Crescent City. Easily spotted from atop Highway 10, which you can access from Exit 235A as you enter the city, you’ll be able to depart 3-lane highway chaos and shoulder-to-shoulder dwellings and enter a fortified encased stone wall fortress complete with a key-coded security entrance that provides both increased privacy as well as a solid measure of 24/ 7 security (complete with a staffed security guard from 8pm until 7am).
While occupying an entire space that is more or less equivalent to a small city block or the inside of a football field, what I enjoyed most about FQRV is the very welcoming and accommodating staff that will greet you here as well as the handful of smart amenities that this RV haven provides. After being let into the property, you’ll park immediately to the left as you enter, where there’s a handful of visitor spots, otherwise, feel free to park in one of the few empty spots or alongside the bricked sugar mill main building that lies right in front of you.
Once inside, you’ll check-in, find yourself and either pull-through or back-in to one of the 52 well-paved flat sites offering up a minimum of 30’ wide X 60’ long slots offering up the standard RV hook-ups of 20 / 30 / 50 amp electric, water and sewage. Additional amenities include: spartan new clubhouse (conveniently and centrally located just behind the main office) fitness and laundry rooms, 72 channels of cable TV, 4 private restroom facilities immaculately clean and complete with hot / cold showers, business office with fax / copier / WiFi / printer, ATM, community gazebo with wet bar and ice machine. Perhaps the best amenity here is the very inviting community pool that also features a jacuzzi and while not the largest of watering holes, seems somehow perfect for the size of this place. Don’t have an RV but want to spend the night here at FQRV anyway? Well, not a problem as there is a single on-site condo that offers up a master full bedroom w/ king size bed, full-kitchen, private bathroom w/ shower and tub, pull-out queen sofa bed, living room, cable-TV, separate WiFi and individual washer& dryer.
Insider’s tips? Here’s a handful: (1) To my tent pitching bredren, FQRV is offered up exclusively for the RV driving and 5th Wheel toting crowd, so you’ll have to look elsewhere if you’d to camp up here in the Big Easy; (2) If for any reason you arrive to FQRV without a reservation and there is ‘no room at the inn,’ there are a few very large-sized open parking lots just due east of this RV resort that at least you’ll be able to park overnight, in case you arrive late or don’t have time to find another spot to park your mobile camping abode; (3) At $120 per night ($700 per week or $2,400 per month), FQRV certainly isn’t a cheap option, but when you consider all of the very great amenities this place offers in addition to the extremely secure spot you’ll be parking your luxury cruiser at as well as, perhaps most importantly, the very easy and quick access this location provides to the French Quarter, which by my walking calculations will have you munching on a shrimp po’ boy while washing it all down with a nice Sazerac, which would be a careful concoction involving Cognac, Absinthe and whiskey (and yes, that ‘e’ in whiskey means American or Irish); (4) IMHO the best sites are actually the standard sites that are noted as ‘budget friendly’ are located closest to Interstate 10, which seems like an odd recommendation, but given that this busy highway is a good 200 feat above you, there’s really no escaping the noise it imparts, but at least you won’t see it or have to pay more (note: it’ll run you an extra $35 per night for ‘premium sites’ located closer to the main building, although you will also get a really nice screened gazebo in front of your slot as well as a‘longer runway’ in case you come packing a stretch limo RV); (5) There is no way to reserve a spot in advance of arriving here to FQRV, which is a bit frustrating at first, but when you realize that nearly every site is just the same as the one next to it, you’ll find yourself getting over this slight inconvenience real quick; (6) While there are no fire rings here, FQRV does allow you light up your own BBQ; (7) While the standard per nightly rates apply to average, non-event dates, you’ll realize pretty quickly here in the Big Easy that there’s an event just about every week, and this is more expansive than just Mardi Gras, generally the 3rd week of February, but let’s be honest, the revelry usually begins the 2 weeks preceding the carnival festivities … so you’ll want to keep in mind French Quarter Festival and Jazz Festival as well as some of the more popular football events will run you extra$.
Happy Camping!
TravelerThis is a busy weekend park within 2 miles of Morgan City, LA. It sits on the edge of a large freshwater lake and has great views. Many sites appear to be Big Rig Friendly. There are various sections of park to choose from. Easy access to park and paved roads inside park. Includes bathhouses, office area, beach and nice boat ramp with dock space. Not sure of a charge for ramp or docks. The East side of the park is wide open and very easy to access with today’s mega rigs and 5th wheels. A large dog park is walking distance and right along the lakeshore.
ScoutThis spot is one of a handful of private campgrounds in operation after hurricane last August. Largely occupied by long-term stays, but had a few sites available when I needed something on short notice. Even though he didn’t have any sites available for more than one night, when I had some issues with my rig and needed another night so I could meet with a mobile tech, he let me plug in elsewhere on the property. Also loaned me a 30 amp to 110v adapter.
The campground itself is basic. Sites are close together. There is no shade. Full hook-ups available, but no bath house. However he does have a laundry room.
There is a dock and boat launch on the property.
It is located on a working canal with shrimp boats docked and traveling up and down the canal. There is a cannery right down the way.
Not picturesque in the traditional sense, but if you want to see what a working community is like, this is the place to be.
LegendThis family oriented campground was busy during the Easter weekend- pro analysis due to its proximity to New Orleans. The campsites can accommodate pretty much anything from tents to big rigs. Most sites are large with good spacing between sites, but not much privacy between sites. The campground, as we as the restroom/shower house, is well maintained. Electric & water hookups. Water actually tasted good. Heard sounds of ATVs riding in the distance. Very quiet at night.
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.
GuideThe 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.
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.
