"This is a beautiful state park located on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain ( 30 min north of New Orleans)."
"We were on spot #138 and were close to the dump and the camp host. Very convenient for using the tote. This is a bit older park, but we liked it. "
$25 / night
"About a half-dozen freight trains pass close by the campground; noisy, especially where we camped in the Treaure Cove loop. There is also some vehicle noise on a nearby road as well."
"Between the nature walk, fishing and time on the beach our days were packed. I do not recommend the “premium” tent sites."
$7 / night
"Nice little stop outside of New Orleans for the night. Arrived late at night and there was one other person here. It was raining so I just decided to sleep in the car."
"No bathrooms or water but close to a few stores and gas stations. Lots of room and flat ground. I camped in my car but others were in tents or rvs."
$35 - $90 / night
"Our site was right next to boat launch. It was very beautiful. The park is clean. They have a splash pad and playground for the kids. The bathhouse only has two showers."
"You’re VERY close to your neighbors and there is little room for parking. They definitely made sure to fit as many spots in this park as they could!"
"We had our two daughters with us which they loved going on a walk around the park and looking at the ducks. Just about everyone is friendly there."
$18 - $33 / night
"Had a playground for the kids next to campsite. Walking distance to a picturesque river with lily’s and mangrove trees."
"We always enjoy our stopover night here on the drive to Alabama. It is our go-to place. The Otis House tour and other artifacts are interesting and worth the time."
$20 / night
"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."
"The campsite was very spacious with easy access to the creek.
Alicia was a lovely host and we had a great time at the biscuit class in the morning, which included free snuggles with her pups."
$44 / night
"Utilities were near each other for easy set up. The park had a good sized dog park and lots of green space to play frisbee golf or walk."
"With less than 50 spaces, this beautiful little park, just 4 miles from beautiful white sand beaches, is tucked away from the roads and surrounded by a wonderful mixed forest of hardwood and pines."
$25 / night
"My campsite was right next to the bathrooms which was super convenient and surprisingly not noticeably busy. Thought I would have access to the water but didn’t."
"We visited three weeks after Hurricane Ida and there were virtually no signs of damage left outside of down trees in the tree lines. Beautiful trees, the park is huge, everyone was kind!"
GuideThis is a nice little park. Not fancy, but friendly and quiet. The office people were really nice and very accomodating. Has a small pool, showers/restrooms, and laundry. There are maybe 50% fulltime residents, but we were there for two months and never heard/saw any drama or trouble. People were friendly and kept mainly to themselves. Park has lots of shade from beautiful live oak trees and has a waterfront area that is very pretty. No dog park, but plenty of places to walk your leashed pet. There is a boat ramp around the corner and I believe the waterway connects to the river. The park is older, and some of the cement pads are cracked and heaving, but looked like people were able to level up. They mow and trim regularly, so things were neat. This isn't a new fancy park, but it was nice and quiet and we liked it. We had site 64 which was a great really long pull thru with full hookups. Our Verizon reception was good. They offer reasonable weekly and monthly prices as well as nightly. The park is off Exit 41 of I-10 about halfway between D'Iberville/Biloxi exit and Gulfport exit (both have tons of shopping). Local area has tons to do...casinos, beaches, about an hour and quarter to New Orleans, Shuckers baseball, plus tons of great food.
GuideBeautifully kept resort with nice full hook up camspots, fences in dog park, pools for adults and kids, camp store, bar, grill, lake and hot tub. Also have nice facilities for showers and laundry that takes credit cards ( yay, no need for quarters). The only downside for me is they played music so loud at the outdoor bar that my ears hurt and could carry on a conversation. Our site next to dog park which was cute but a lot of excited dog barking from sun up to sun down.
LegendStayed here because it was so close, literally a block away, from the Mississippi Colosseum, for granddaughters cheer competition. We checked it and were greeted at arrival, with information packet. FHU, back-in concrete pad, and small dog park. A nice clubhouse and facilities, although we did not use. Directly across the street from the beach, perfect for photos. Clean pool but too cold to use. Very close to neighbors and backed up to apts, which the garbage truck came super early on Sat, dumpster on other side of fence. We were up early, but if you like relaxing and peacefulness, probably not my choice. Close to lots of area attractions, stores and restaurants. Many closed for off season, however. Waffle House next door to RV park. Good for short stay!
ScoutExcellent location to walk to beach. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Clean. Well kept. Big dog park!
GuideWe were arriving a day early and stuck in bad storms. Thank goodness they had space! The sites were very roomy and level. Utilities were near each other for easy set up. The park had a good sized dog park and lots of green space to play frisbee golf or walk.
GuideLived in the front park for 6 months. Busy with outside traffic and trains. Park in the back of base is newer and nicer. 20x40 level concrete pads. Secluded from the rest of base. Little fishing pods and trails from old golf course. Bath house with 4 separate rooms with toilets and showers. Washer and dryer. Near giant voice speaker so you won’t sleep in past 8am any day and you’ll hear any emergency. Only way out is tricky during pt hours in the morning with all the runners. Large dog park a short walk away.
TravelerAmazing staff, clean, big showers, heated pool year round, plenty of washers and driers for 24/7 laundry days, gated community, plenty of space, has its own dog park,
ScoutThis is an RV Park and Living community. No tent camping. A sign out front says its under new management and ownership. I found the folks to be helpful and friendly. We have two issues which may not bother everyone but it did us. Dog poop everywhere! So watch where you walk. As well, a couple of folks that live there let their pets out without a leash. We were greeted by a pit bull without a leash while walking our little dogs.
