This place was absolutely gorgeous. I was alone in the campground both nights i was there with a couple of people coming in during the day to have lunch at one of the picnic tables.

I might have worked on my tanlines 🤫

I fit pretty good in my 24' motorhome but woupd be leery of something too much bigger. 

Do not try to come at night. It is pitch black and steep drop offs. 

Really nice set up for tents if thwt is your thing.

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)

I stayed here a couple of days to recharge the batteries, refill the water, and chill in some air.

The park itself is ok and it is a little far from the main drag. They are redoing the beach side so I think normally this is just overflow.

I did get the best sunset pictures here.

When I started on my journey, I knew I wanted to spend some considerable time on the beach and Crystal Beach didn't disappoint.

I picked up the $10 beach parking pass and spent about two weeks there the first time.

You do want to make sure you set up on the north side of the beach although that does mean you will deal with the traffic from people driving on the beach and others setting up and blocking your view.

I have seen the tide come almost to the front of my fence. (That I set up for my pups)

You can get propane at Parkers Lumber and almost everything else at the Big Store.

I love how they have their sites arranged so it didn't feel like you were right on top of each other.

All the facilities were clean and the showers actually have hot and cold knobs and didn't shut off every 30 seconds (big plus on this trip)

I did have a Crawfish walk through the campsite.

So I have to tell you this is only the third park I have been to and the first one in my fifth wheel.

The park is huge! The sites are nice enough although the site I was in was much better suited for tenters than an rv.

I have a tree on each side about 1.5' from the rv. If I had slides I would not be able to use them and couldn't pull out my awning if I were staying here for any time.

The power did not work in my spot and I would have requested a move if I were not just staying the night.

The showers were push button with no dials so you are at the mercy of the shower gods to see if you get blasted with hot or cold water. The pressure is firehose.

Driving through Chicago is no joke but it is close to Six Flags Great Adventure and being able to walk over to the beach is nice.
