Closest state park campground to NOLA. 20 min drive to Algiers Ferry terminal and from there a less than a 10 min ride across the Big River. We got street parking at Algiers which was free all day - as far as we can tell - at about 10am on the day after Christmas. The campgrounds are clean, but in some cases the campsite itself is not designed in the way you would expect, where the table and fire pit is to the passenger side of your rig. Ours was to the rear of it, but it also afforded us a couple of trees for a hammock.

September 2019 stay, 40ft 5th Wheel. Great quiet location with a 10-12 minute ride to the $2.00 Algiers ferry over to Canal Street and the French Q. The park is well grassed with paved roads (access road need a little attention but not bad). Some shaded sites available. Most sites will have morning or afternoon shade. We had wooden deck, concrete pad and table with about thirty feet between sites. Good facilities, but no sewer hookups. Dump station on the way out. Boat ramp access in the park. Unfortunately the gate assigns sites at check in, GGggrrrr,..... !!, even with only 15-20% occupancy during our stay. Fantastic fresh catch of the day seafood markets just down the street from the park main gate!! Will return again.

Clean. Quiet. Nice playground. I felt the sites were a little too close to each other. About 30 min from NOLA. When you make your reservation you receive an email confirmation with a gate code. So glad we had this gate code, as we did not arrive until just after 9pm. Decent restrooms. Laundry area was between men's and women's restrooms but amused that the sign for laundry was posted right next to the sign that said "Women". Not offended. I'm sure it was unintended. This was really the only camping option near to NOLA, so we are glad it was comfortable. Would have liked to be a little closer, but this was okay.

We stayed here for 4 nights while we were visiting N.O.L.A. We are travelling with a child (10) and a dog.
This is a State Park so no sewer hook-ups but there is a dump station as you are leaving. We had a site directly behind the comfort station to the right of the boardwalk. We were a bit worried that we would be bothered by traffic along the boardwalk but this was not the case at all, it was very quiet. Sites are large and grassed, some have nice wood decks and the pads (asphalt) are relatively level. The comfort stations are adequate, relatively clean and in working order. Laundry is available and free, although both comfort stations had 1 broken laundry machine when we were there. There is some road noise from the car traffic on the highway as well as boat traffic but it wasn't too bad while we were there. It takes about 30-45 minutes to get into the various tourist areas of New Orleans from here depending on the time of day. There is a ferry which will take you right to the FQ which is about 15 minutes away, but we did not take it. Firewood is not sold but you are free to pick up any dead and fallen wood you see and use it. We saw quite a bit of wildlife (snake, armadillo, birds of prey) for a place in such a populated area.

This was a wonderful place to stay while visiting NOLA. The campground had paved sites. The bathrooms were clean and well maintained. The best part was they provide FREE laundry facilities with very nice machines. In the summer there is a wave pool and swimming pool. Would recommend and stay here again.

Stayed again, and just as nice as last year. Used laundry: Two nice, clean laundry areas (one in each restroom/shower/laundry building, one in each loop). Machines are free; however, only one washer (of two) working in each building when we were there.

Pleasant park with spacious sites. Definitely take the Algiers Ferry to the Quarter but check the schedule first. Also, local fishermen sell their catch at an open air market just outside the park, turn right and go to the light.

Great, quiet, affordable park just south of the craziness of NOLA! Paved roads and sites, wave pool and boat launch, fishing and birding all here. Gate at front was locked at night, back entrance was a bit sketchy and dark. Wooden patios, it had just rained a ton before we arrived and the parking site and patio were above the water, the fire ring was submerged for 2 days. Slow WiFi, Water and Electric only, dump station was closed when we left ?. Wide sites with some shade, free laundry, wooden raised walkways through the bayou to the laundry room that were a pleasant surprise. Also, floating cabins here on the water might be fun! If there was sewer and better WiFi, this would be awesome! We will stay here again.

Stayed for a week just before Marci Gras and they were already busy. Nice park, nice RV area, good facilities (no dump at sites, though). Very widely-spaced sites, paved and pretty level. Park also has boat launch and other park facilities. (A little excitement while there: Tornado warning--turned out to hit a bit to the north and east. I know about earthquakes, but not tornados.)

Close to New Orleans...good sized lots...paved roads and pads...free laundry...wifi is weak...but overall facilities and price make it a very good place to stay...
