Campground is cute but a bit outside of NOLA. People are very nice. Showers are old but clean and could use some repair. Otherwise good.
We camped here in late february, and the park is absolutely beautiful. Restrooms are clean, hot showers and nicely spaced sights. Driveway was flat and level.
Great wilderness camping. I stayed for 4 days and it was pretty crowded. My spot didn't have sewage and no one told me during the registration. There are sites with and without sewage. Make sure to ask while checking in. Otherwise everything was ok. The sites are concrete pads and pretty level. Each site has a fire pit and bench table.
We arrived at Lake End after the check in time but the office was so helpful and pleasant to check us in. Once we got to our site we had some problems. The 30 amp was tripping and the wash house was closed for renovations. But over two weeks, the long term neighbors made this feel like home. The walking trail is quiet during the week and early in the morning. After the first day, we really enjoyed our stay.
Love camping here. Friendly staff and the trails are all back open
The park was clean and well maintained. The camp site was well built and maintained as well. Plenty of trails to hike with varying difficulty. Nature center was great.
This KOA is a gem! It offers all the amenities that a camper would need. It is super clean has large concrete pads, and is easy to get to from the interstate. When you arrive you will be greeted by friendly staff both outside and inside the office. This isn’t the biggest KOA we’ve been to but it has it all. A pool, laundry and bath house, shuttle for downtown and you can rent a barbecue for grilling. It is safe and we took the short walk to the levy and walked along the Mississippi River. The best part was they can book any tour you’d like to do. We were here in the off season but I would imagine if you came during the busy times you could book through them and avoid long lines. They do not charge to do this. They run a shuttle to the French Quarter and it’s only $15 for adults which is about the same to drive down and pay for parking. They also have dog walking services for your furry family members. This is a great spot to stay and explore New Orleans.
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

Situated in the subtropical Gulf Coast region with an average elevation of 26 feet, this area experiences high humidity and mild winters.

Flooding concerns: Water levels require advance planning and potential schedule flexibility. "I have had a few of my reservations cancelled by the park when the river is high because the camping areas will flood," warns Paula W. from Tickfaw State Park Campground.
Insect preparation: The swampy environment means heavy mosquito presence, especially during warmer months. "Was unable to go far on walk due to the thick blanket of mosquitoes. I'm sure its nice once they arent so bad," explains Tyler H. Pack multiple types of repellent and consider screened shelters for eating areas.
Wildlife safety: Lake End Park Campground & Marina visitors should be aware of natural inhabitants. "They do have lots of snakes in the rocks along the water that like to 'sun' themselves. Also it's full of gators. So watch your kiddos in the water and pets," cautions Nichole B.
