Strolling through four ecosystems on over a mile of boardwalks through Tickfaw State Park, visitors can experience the sights and sounds of a cypress/tupelo swamp, a bottomland hardwood forest, a mixed pine/hardwood forest and the Tickfaw River. Periodically the park site serves the region by detaining floodwaters when winter and spring rains overflow the steep banks of the Tickfaw River. These periods of occasional flooding offer a unique opportunity to educate visitors on the importance of periodic flooding in the cycle of life that makes wetlands an invaluable habitat and breeding ground for wildlife and fisheries. At Tickfaw State park, you can go night hiking or listen to the swamp nightlife from the porch of your vacation cabin. Check at the Nature Center for scheduled programs. While there, view the 800-gallon aquarium stocked with fish found in the Tickfaw River. There are also displays featuring the animals, history and culture of the area and of Louisiana. Be sure to watch the 8-minute introductory video about the history of the park area. Bicycle, stroll or skate the interconnecting park roadways. Bring your canoe or kayak and take a fun-filled trip on this unique section of the Tickfaw River. The Water Playground offers refreshing fun for those not quite adventurous enough to explore the swamps and sloughs.

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.

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.
Scout
It was very nice
TravelerWith 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.
Guide
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)
Traveler
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
RangerArrive from Tiki Toms in Tiki Island, TX. We stayed for 2 nights on our way to Alabama. This resort sits approximately 5 miles from downtown New Orleans. It is a great onsite restaurant with a fabulous pool. The sites were spacious and well-maintained. A recommended stop to visit NOLA.
LegendFrom 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.
RangerLooking for a clean and pleasant place to park your camper new NOLA. This is it. Man we fell in love on the only night we stayed. The owners and staff are super pleasant and super helpful. The campground offers plenty of amenities for the size. We plan on returning!
Guide
Areas of the park were closed and quiet as it was the beginning of the season.
Most of the sites are uneven, but have electric and water hookups for $30 a night. Bathrooms decent.
We biked around the huge campground and there was lots to see. About 20 mins from New Orleans! We took a Lyft and enjoyed the city for a day. You can get an RTA pass online for $3 and ride public transit including the famous streetcars. A must !
RangerFirst trip back since Hurricane Ida. Since my last visit, they have added a lot of tentrr sites in the tent section and 2 or 3 around the lake. The paddle trail is open, and while paddling, I saw a family of otters. There’s only around 2 hiking trails open, one around the lake and a portion of the long trail, which goes to the river, in and out. Spoke with a ranger who stated they think most of the trails will be open in 8 months.
LegendNice sites. Sites are spaced apart giving you some room. Some decks and picnic tables need repair. Easy in and out with 31 ft class C with toad.
LegendGood: easy in, hard top sites, good location near NOLA, very nice staff, grounds kept clean. Bad: rough road entering campground, needs work. Ugly: nothing.
GuideSites were level concrete. Nearly all back in but skilled staff helps you back in. WiFi was good. Bathhouse clean and adequate. Great location for visiting New Orleans. Recommend Charles Seafood down the road.
ScoutMy husband and I are traveling across the country for our honeymoon and have never been to New Orleans. We were pleasantly surprised to find this KOA here, which is super convenient if your trying to see the city on a budget. The staff is super friendly and accommodating with lots of recommendations for the French Quarter and what we should check out. They also run a shuttle bus back and forth during the day which is cheaper than an uber or taxi. Definitely will stay here again on our next visit!
GuideI loved this place. Nice, clean, safe, lovely office manager, laundry station, shade, picknick tables and a cute rooster :-) Oh and let’s not forget the Jummie figs, we were allowed to pick and the limes!
GuideNice & easy clean resort. They pick up your trash by noon, LP pickup/refill, shower hot, store, pool, hot tub, sitting areas with rockers, laundry, dog area and great restaurant/sport bar. Had excellent crab cake and bisque. -2 roadways to enter/exit resort. A car can drive toward north but some potholes would not advise RV on road toward lake pontchaitrain.
GuideWhy we booked: It was either this or a private campground that's closer to the city but an RV parking lot that costs 4x.
Campground: Run down at best. Place needs some serious love, especially the asphalt.
Quirks: It's a good little drive into the campground. It's also CRAZY dark at night, so your choices are blasting lights and blinding campers or running over a possom.
Site: Meh.
Nearby: Riding bikes around the park was pretty sweet. Saw lots of birds and a few gators. The stroll around the campground was pretty okay, as well. But as soon as you leave the park, you're fighting traffic that's fighting veteran potholes.
Value: Probably fair.
GuideIt’s a pretty decent park but compared to other KOA parks is just alright
ScoutWe had problems with the campground the moment we got here Staff was very unhelpful When we got to our campsite there was water exploding out of the hook up They gave one of the spots we reserved to someone else The only positive is it’s a beautiful area
ScoutNO free wifi provided. I used my hotspot for 3 days but could not use my hotspot for 2 days later. Called Verizon and Verizon had no issue. Bad place use my own hotspot.
ScoutThe 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.
ScoutGot to the park with no reservation and found a spot no problem. There are both tent and RV slots. RV neighbors are visible, but there is a bit of space.,Each slot comes with a table on a wooden platform, a fire ring, and what appears to be a game hook, as well as a water spigot and electric hookup.
Took a walk before the rain set in. Many of the boardwalk trails appear to be closed due to storm damage. Saw a whole pack of night herons flying together. The bayou is spooky feeling with gator crossing zones and interesting cypress trees. Seems like it should be buggier than it is for on a warm day in late March.
The restroom and laundry room seem clean and well tended.
LegendGood option to visit New Orleans. Grassy site which are nice. Bathhouse could be better maintained.
TravelerI 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
GuideNice KOA. People/staff are really nice. Interesting that houses are on the right when you pull in. We liked that this was 30 min outside of New Orleans so completely away from the bustle of the city. Our spot wasn't that level but we managed. Make sure you have extra blocks for your jacks. We enjoyed our stay here. Great eats just down the road called Seifers recommended by koa.
