Rangers were great and site was paved, level and nice. The bathrooms were nice and clean with good hot water. Laundy on site, and it was only $1 per load. 25 min. from New Orleans and an easy drive.

We moved here from Bayou Segnette SP while saying in New Orleans. Big problem at this park is the sites were built back in the day of smaller RV's and we had a some fun backing in plus there's no overhang in the back. Spent two days hanging out in thunder storms and lots of rain. Close to the city and out far enough to not know it. Frogs, birds, turtles!

Since Bayou Segnette SP was full and we wanted to go explore New Orleans, we opted for that SP. The sites are big and spaced out, but the parking pads are very narrow (not so great to back up in at night...). The bathroom building is old and not super clean (lukewarm water). There is a washer and dryer, but if you are used to the free laudry in all the Louisiana SP, this is the only one where it is NOT. The bigger downside was that it was extremely buggy and we had to stay inside our bus the whole time. Even at night, it was bad enough we opted to not have the bonfire we had planned (and we are from the North, we are used to mosquitoes!).

When I called Ginger was on duty and was very inviting. She told us where not to camp in New Orleans and told us to come by and see St. Bernard before deciding. It was like being in the woods while still in the city. As it turned out we were just 15 miles from The French Quarter and it was an easy ride to get there. Wifi throughout was excellent.

This park is a little far from New Orleans, and nestled in between some oil refineries, but it's pretty good for the price. It was packed on the weekend days we stayed, but pretty sparse during the week. The bathrooms were clean and sites were very large. There was some military training flights on a couple of the mornings around 9, that got pretty loud.

We stayed here while we were checking out New Orleans. The sites are pretty large but the pad was narrow for our rig. We just fit in the spot that we reserved. It was nice to not be right beside our neighbours! Free WiFi although we weren't able to watch Netflix on it. No sewer hookup but there is a dumping station. W/E included. There are a lot of armadillos which was neat to see. The dogs didn't like them very much though lol. Pet friendly. Overall a decent park that would be even better in the summer.

This is a small park (51 sites), easy to get to and conveniently located for visiting New Orleans.
It is mostly quiet (see below) with very clean bathrooms, laundry ($1 a load-2 washers, 2 dryers) and showers-with lots of hot water except in the morning when everyone else is using them.
Not a lot of hiking trails but walking/running around the campground and the adjacent SplashDown area (open only in warm weather) is a decent workout. There is a nature trail as well.
The sites are well spaced and the ones on the outside of the loop afford more privacy and some are shadier than others which have no shade. Site 13 is right next to the children's playground. Some sites have a depression where the table (on a concrete platform) and fire ring are that look as though they could get quite boggy with a lot of rain. While we were here (early Feb 2018) there was light rain most days with one heavy rainfall and a few sites had a bit of standing water. However, on Mardi Gras weekend there were a number of tent campers and all seemed to find dry areas within their site.
The gate is locked at 9pm and there is a padlock for which you are given a code at registration. The padlock, however, is one where the 4 numbers need to line up and it can be quite finicky. (Hint: have someone hold an umbrella over you with the car lights pointed at the lock if it is raining.)
The only drawback for us was that there is a railroad crossing nearby and the bell seems to clang 24/7. We could not find out if this is normal but it went on for the week we were here. There is also a refinery nearby and if the CAT cracker lets off exhaust it sounds like a large jet plane is taking off in the campground. Luckily this is not a regular or frequent occurrence and it is done during the day. Freight trains do go by but we did not hear any blow their horns during the night, in fact not bothered by them at all.
The CG WiFi is spotty but doable but we had a 3-4 bar ATT signal (boosted) so used our own.
There are 2 supermarkets -Walmart and Breaux Mart -close by on 39/Judge Perez Dr -though we found the food selections in both limited.( We had better luck at the Rouse's in town and the Trader Joe in Metairie.) There is an EconoMart gas station on 46/St Bernard Hwy that has the lowest gas prices around but check around because we saw 20 cents difference between the various stations.
New Orleans is an easy drive either via 46/39/I-10 or straight down 46 (St Bernard Hwy) which goes right to the visitor center in town.

Nice quiet campground with nature trail. 12 miles from French Quarter. good cell reception... sometimes trains and ships can be heard but not bad at all.

We loved this campground! Being in Louisiana, there was so much greenery. It was a really beautiful campground with partial hookups. It was also near New Orleans, so we drove out for a day to explore.

If you want to stay within the campground though, there's a nice nature trail (beware of swampy areas! You might even spot some alligators sunning themselves), a large grassy picnic area, and even a working splash pad!

The facilities (bathrooms and showers) were old, but very clean and well kept. Also, laundry machines on site!

The town itself didn't have much to offer, but for necessities, stores were close by.

We also noticed many mud mounds around the grounds and one day asked a camp host what the heck those were, and apparently, they're left by crawfish when they dig into the ground! We never did see a crawfish while we were there, but we learned something new!

Small state park which had free wifi that i was able to stream netflix off of! Site had a blacktop pad i didn't need to level. 20/30/50 amp at site with water - pressure seemed a little light but fine - bathrooms were old but shower was fine - toilets had issues - quiet camp! dump station has issues but they look to be re-doing as was painted plans on roadway(metal cover to sewage wont go up far enuf due to its installation to take an L bracket or even a straight adapter, removed and just used flex hose) for under 25 a night its a really good place - verizon reception was very good on iphone and a strong 2 bars on jetpack -
