Each campground includes "NO horse-corral" in their amenities data, indicating these properties do not provide specialized accommodations for horses.

Travelers seeking to camp with horses near New Orleans must look beyond these options for appropriate facilities.

    New Orleans RV Resort & Marina

    Nice Park, 5 Miles from French Quarter

    Arrive 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.

    Nice park, but a little overpriced

    Pontchartrain Landing is nice RV park. We had a great weekday stay in late December and the weather was nice. Its not far from downtown New Orleans. When you first get off the Interstate, the area looks abandoned and a little sketchy, but it is ok. Apple Maps guided me right to the park. There is a restaurant and bar, but we didnt eat there. I enjoyed walking and sitting along the water in the mornings. The occasional noise from airplanes taking off from nearby Lakefront Airport was a small detraction. Playground was not much.   Place is fenced at gated for added security.

    Stayed in waterfront campsite#21, but view was partially blocked by houseboats.  Pretty disappointed for $89/night.  Back-in site with gravel parking and a picnic table. No BBQ pit or fire ring. 15A/30A/50A, water, sewer, and cable TV hookups. Site was pretty level. Awning faced north so we had some shade from the sun. There was a flower bed with palm trees between the sites. Not much shade in the park. The site is located on the water. Neighbor was at least 20 ft. Away. Roads in the park were gravel creating some dust. Both AT&T and Verizon had good signal(3 bars each). AT&T Speedtest= 26.8 Mbps down, x 6.5 Mbps up. Free Wi-Fi is available at the office/restaurant and paid available it the sites. Did not use the Wi-Fi. 

    Overall, not impressed for the price, but would stay here again. We camped at New Orleans RV Resort& Marina in a Travel Trailer.

    Expensive

    Called this campground today--they changed their name to New Orleans RV Resort & Marina. It's a holiday season so I expected them to be busy, and they were. 

    They charge $69 per night, which is far too expensive for my budget. Could be holiday pricing but not sure since requested dates fall after New Years.

    Writing this review in the hopes the Dyrt will update the pricing.

    Numbe of stars reflect what I consider to be price gouging.

    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.

    Only minutes from Bourbon

    So glad I decided to stay here. This is a great park tucked away from everything yet only 15 minutes to bourbon street and 10 minutes to Frenchmen. Great place to stay on the water.

    NOLA on the water

    Nice & 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.

    Creekside Farm Co.

    Great place!

    I was the only camper there but sites are pretty spread out regardless. We had direct access to the creek. The bathroom, sink, grill, and shower were just a quick walk up the hill. Shower was cold water only but honestly so nice after a hot day. They have tons of vegetation to look at, chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese, and peacocks. There’s a small fishing pond too. You can follow the trail around the back of the pond and see the bunker and balcony. Will definitely be back! Only complaint is the ants were terrible! Idk where they kept coming from but definitely put up anything with food (even in tubs) up while not in use. Dogs are allowed but need to be on a lead. They have two dogs too, Mocha will come around to the campsites and creeks to say hi and want sticks to be thrown. Randy up there was super helpful too and good company. Everyone honestly was just so nice.

    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.

    Close to the city

    Didn’t really enjoy the campground, didn’t feel like a very safe area and it was not that nice. But great location as far as close to NOLA!


Guide to New Orleans

New Orleans lacks specialized equestrian camping facilities, though nearby options for general campers exist within reasonable driving distance. The region's subtropical climate makes camping possible year-round, with temperatures ranging from 45°F in winter to 90°F in summer and high humidity throughout the year. Campsites surrounding New Orleans typically feature level terrain on either wooded or waterfront properties.

What to do

Waterfront activities: New Orleans RV Resort & Marina offers canal access for boaters. "Great RV resort and Marina. Right on the canal waterway and only 10 minutes in good traffic to the French Quarter, 20 to the Garden District and zoo," notes Jeff M.

Fishing opportunities: Land-O-Pines Family Campground has creek access. "Older campground with small pool and older water slide but very homey. Shades and grass and dirt roads. Awesome creek that the kids have a blast in," reports Nicole R.

Urban exploration: Most campgrounds promote their proximity to New Orleans attractions. "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," writes Erich H. at New Orleans RV Resort & Marina.

Farm experiences: Observe farm animals at Creekside Farm Co. "They have tons of vegetation to look at, chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese, and peacocks. There's a small fishing pond too," shares Taylor C.

What campers like

Proximity to attractions: Campers value locations that offer easy access to New Orleans. "It was close enough to the French Quarter to take a Uber so we didn't have to worry about parking," says Mary H. about New Orleans RV Resort & Marina.

Seasonal activities: Holiday-themed events create memorable experiences. At Land-O-Pines Family Campground, "we went for Halloween weekend and there were alot of activities and trick or treating for the kids..great campsite great memories," shares David D.

Water recreation: Creeks and swimming areas rank high with visitors. "Country, beginning of a bayou (like a creek), pups, chickens, ducks, outdoor shower and loo (both with privacy), and each tent site has fire pit/picnic table, cleared ground for setup," explains Jamie B.

Peaceful atmosphere: Some campgrounds emphasize tranquility. "This quiet campground is spacious. They limit the number of campers so this really does feel like primitive camping in the woods," writes Alicia L. about Creekside Farm Co.

What you should know

Access conditions: Industrial areas surround some campgrounds. "Don't let the road in past some industrial and manufacturing warehouses fool you. This is a great spot to stop and has a restaurant on-site as well," explains Jeff M.

Price considerations: Camping costs vary widely. At Land-O-Pines, Robert H. notes, "I would give it a better review except it's 50$ a night for a tent. We've averaged 20-30 bucks for the same."

Limited equestrian options: No dedicated horse facilities exist near New Orleans. Travelers with horses should contact specialized equestrian properties further from the city or consider boarding options at area stables.

Weather preparations: The humid subtropical climate means rain can create muddy conditions. "The streets and sites are gravel and can get a little muddy in spots after a rain," reports David B. about Land-O-Pines Family Campground.

Tips for camping with families

Activity options: Look for campgrounds with recreational facilities. "There is a lot of fun things to do for the whole family, from swimming, water slide to playing bingo and a lot more," shares Farrah B. about Land-O-Pines.

Kid-friendly amenities: Some locations lack dedicated children's areas. At Clearwater RV Park, Ashlyn B. notes "I wish there would have been a playground in the campground, but I understand they typically have snowbirds and not a lot of young couples with kids."

Creek exploration: Natural water features provide entertainment. "We had an amazing time at Creekside! The campsite was very spacious with easy access to the creek," reports Emily T.

Wildlife viewing: Farm animals entertain children. "We had our two daughters with us which they loved going on a walk around the park and looking at the ducks," shares Ashlyn B.

Tips from RVers

Site selection: Waterfront sites may have obstructions. David B. notes, "Stayed in waterfront campsite #21, but view was partially blocked by houseboats. Pretty disappointed for $89/night."

Utility connections: Check for power compatibility. At Land-O-Pines, David B. reports, "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."

Internet access: Cell coverage varies by carrier. "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," notes David B.

Local conveniences: Nearby stores provide supplies. "There is also a Family Dollar/Dollar Tree and a Dollar General down the road which was about less then 4-5 mins away which was great and very convenient," mentions Ashlyn B.
