Best Campgrounds near Metairie, LA

Ok for a stopover. We had to book 2 nights since it was a weekend. This might be a good place to stay if you were attending an event in New Orleans such as a game. But the sites are super close together and not much shade. They have wifi but when we connected it said ‘no internet’ so apparently it wasn’t working. AT&T cell service was 5G.

Handicap bathrooms are decent but lights are motion censored so can turn off on you while you are in the shower. People at the front entrance are very nice but seem a bit frazzled. They could use more staff to take the load off. I do believe there are homeless people coming in here without paying to shower and stay in their cars from time to time from what I heard from staff. Did not witness this however.

Very cheap and very nice people.

This is so nasty I will never come back here and y'all are trying to get us to loose our camper and loose everything this is the worst campground and we probably could have slept in the car instead of living in your campground

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.

Mostly 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.

The owners allow nails and other hazards for your tires everywhere. Most of the people in there are addicts and honestly you will have people coming to your door in the middle of the night looking to score some illegal substances

We stayed at the park for 2 nights as part of a countrywide RV holiday from Europe. This park was head an shoulders cleaner nicer, tidier than our previous parks. The check-in team we're lovely and went through everything and also what we could do in the area. Lovely pool and restaurant with great prices.

The shower rooms were also immaculate.

We picked a deluxe waterside plot which was opposite one of the spare moored up river steam boats.

It was very nice

With all the new renovations over the past 4 years this is a much improved campground. Great place to camp or stop if you want to visit New Orleans or surrounding areas.

I was coming down to New Orleans to look at some property and this park was convenient. On the way down, both of my front tires blew and I had to replace them out of pocket leaving me pretty strapped for cash.

I have never felt so welcomed anywhere. Melissa was so kind and helpful. When my AC went 3 days into my trip, she reminded me there was a lounge (that is rarely used) where I could work and that my dogs were welcome to chill in there with me.

She even made sure that I had enough water.

The restrooms are clean and private. 

There is even a little dog run for the pups.

I will never stay anywhere else if I am in the city. (Well until the Orange Dragonfly Center is opened but we can talk about that later)

Pros: 

Super convenient to the French Quarter or anywhere else in the city.

Melissa is amazing!

Dog Run

Lounge

Private shower

Cons:

The neighborhood isn't the greatest

I did get attacked by fire ants (which were taken care of as soon as it happened)

• clean, naturally and quiet

• no wlan and a bad mobil connection

• restrooms and laundry are o.k.

• rangers are super and nice

• the waterplayground is top for the kids

• the street/way to the State Park is very trashy and a little bit scary

From reservation to checking to assistance onsite the staff have been so helpful and pleasant. We swam, did laundry, shopped in the small store, got food delivered and enjoyed full hookups.

It’s a 25min ride into the heart of New Orleans (French quarter) so not the closest but the neighborhood seems fine, it’s quieter and pretty chill out here. 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.
