Beautiful park with level pads. Clean, friendly, and quiet. Great fall specials on rates. Close to town and huge fenced dog park. Bathrooms spotless. Lake beach closed due to bacteria but doesn’t impact amazing sunsets. Will be back next year. Far far better than any private campground in NOLA BR areas.

Best State Park I've stayed at and better than many private parks. Sites are generous size & level (concrete pad). Had pull-thru w/water, elec. Dump station on-site. Clean bathrooms, showers & free laundry. Best part was hundreds of old oak trees, some hundreds of years old, great pier & beautiful beach right on Lake Pontchartrain. Lots of different bird songs, walking trails in park.

We planned to stop here just for an overnight stay. As others have stated, it can be really wet! I was not prepared with rubber boots, so had to walk in deep water to hook/unhook water and electric. It is a beautiful spot with amazing large oak trees. The bathhouses are a little old, but clean and acceptable. There are dishwashing stations too. A paved bike path runs through the park if you’re into that. There were trails to walk, but too wet to do that. So my only issue was water!

Nice campground with paved sites. Some of them are pretty close which would be great if you’re camping with friends. Unfortunately, we were there during a pretty rainy stretch and found that the sites become swampy! Quiet campground and less than an hour to New Orleans.

A nice park with good facilities and free laundry facilities. Picnic tables are in need of replacement and the ground is very susceptible to flooding after a rain. Our stay included two days of heavy rain which left many RV asphalt pads dry islands in a muddy swamp. New Orleans is about an hour away by the Lake Ponchartrain Causeway and shopping and entertainment is only minutes away from the park entrance. WiFi is sketchy.

We’ve had a great stay at this state park-maybe the nicest state park we’ve ever been to. The views are simply exceptional and it’s nice to ride your bikes throughout the park to the slides, the splash pad, the beach, etc. At night, hundreds of tree frogs come out of hiding and engulf the campground along with dear, raccoons and possum. On the downside, the “banana spiders“ also live in the park - we had 7 living in the trees, within 20 feet of our camper door.

Stayed in Fontainebleau State Park for 5 days at primitive site #43. With reservation fee (still be charged even when you walk-up) and taxes, it works out to be $20/night. Most primitive sites are not shaded, but this and few others are. Primitive sites and partial hookup sites (water & electric) have back-ins and pull-thrus. There is no water spigot at any primitive sites; neither at old nor new campground. Old campground showers have little privacy, but new campground shower stall has door with hooks for your things. There is a small white sand beach complete with beautiful pier and small pond. A 4-foot alligator made its home in the small pond. The very shallow beach has alligator gars swim in-and-out of clump of seaweeds. In a cloudy day, sunset on the enormous Lake Pontchartrain make for beautiful picture. Deers, raccoons, and even huge razorback can be seen roaming around in the evening. Lots of mosquitos but no ticks. Love this park and will come back the third times.

Would give 4.5 if you could. Sites are nice and level. Pier is nice and the park is quiet and well maintained. We had a pull-thru site and it was very easy to park and hookup.

One night transit stay but seemed like a well maintained campground. As noted drainage is a problem and with recent rains most sites were water logged. Given the low elevation there is only so much the park can do. Ranger was nice enough to let us go scope out a dry site before paying to ensure we didn't get under water.

I would echo everything that Airstream before me had to say. We had site #14 which was probably the driest one in the park. Internet was very poor.
