As usual, this community gets it right on their reviews, but I want to update the review I gave over five years ago.
Ideally, it would land in the in box of the people in charge of the park.
The five-star qualities of this park remain: it's amazing to think you can get a well-spaced spot in the woods outside New Orleans that is only about 30 minutes from any tourist or worthy dining destination you can name for state park prices. If you want to spend a ton and be in the midst of everything, go to French Quarter RV, but having stayed in both places there is no need, IMHO.
The sad part is that maintenance of this facility is relatively poor. There is badly broken pavement by the dump station that you must go over every time you go in and out of the campground. As far as i can tell this has been without maintenance for five years. The means of getting into the campground after 9 pm is through a side exit that couldn't be worse marked unless they took away the non-reflective sign you are supposed to see in the dark. Why do they need to change the gate campground code weekly? It just increases the risk someone will not get it and be stranded outside after 9 pm. There was no soap in the bathrooms for five days. The hose at the dump station had a bad leak, so everything got wet. The maintenance man I stopped said, we know, and just shrugged his shoulders.
It's a fantastic place to stay when visiting New Orleans. Don't let any of these criticisms steer you away from that truth. However, I wish that whichever agency has the ability to update the facility and improve maintenance would do so. You have a gem here; please maintain it!

In our hundreds of days on the road, staying in all types of RV parks and campgrounds, this has never happened and it shook us up. We returned from a day in the city to find our RV well over 90 degrees and food in our fridge spoiled. Our pets were just getting to the point of distress when we found the campground electrician 3 sites down, repairing the issue. Turns out 3 sites are combined on one circuit breaker that only holds 100 amps. So when a Class C came in and hooked up with 50 amps and their dual AC units, plus the guy next to us running a water purifier, satellite dish, toys, etc, it was too much and the breaker burned out. The power was apparently out for a few hours during the heat of the afternoon.
The office staff was apologetic but would not refund all our money when we said we were too concerned to continue site seeing and leaving the RV with our pets, unmonitored. (Only after complaining a second time were we given an address and a form, so now we have to write a letter to appeal for a refund.)
As others said, lots of hurricane damage but saw workers clearing it up. Trails are pretty much unhikeable so we walked the roads instead. Lots of bugs!!! Found them in the cats water dish, in our bed and on the counters one morning and spent hours cleaning. Laundry area was decent thank goodness. Cell service was quite low.
Really pay attention to the instructions on how to get into the park after hours, if you plan to come back after 8. It’s tricky and would be extremely hard in the dark.
TOURISTY INFO: Still the best RV place for seeing New Orleans without staying in an expensive, loud, dirty and crime ridden city location. Even being a weekend, we had no issues with congestion or parking a huge truck downtown, which was a major concern of ours. We decided to head to the downtown at 8am and parked on the residential streets of the Garden District, which was much easier than anticipated. Locals confirmed it was free parking on side streets and we were right next to Lafayette Cemetery for a walking tour.
Used a $3 daily zippy pass to ride the street car to/from the French Quarter, which was a nice and unique experience in itself. Gotta say, walking Bourbon Street was a first and very last experience for us. Never again! Soooo dirty, extremely loud and just couldn’t handle all the little kids drumming on buckets on every corner, being peddled by their parents for money. We cut our trip to NOLA short as a result of all the above and will be hard pressed to return. But, you have to do it at least once - that’s our motto.

Sites were mostly level and good length. Bathrooms were acceptable, but had some drainage/backup issues in the showers on some of the days we were here. While the campground was pretty full, the rest of the park seemed to be hardly used aside from some boats using the ramp. Pretty close to downtown.

Very minimal furniture, but clean, with full kitchen, bath and two bedrooms. Screened in porch overlooking wetlands. Fridge wreaked of fish, not good. Resident alligators all but stood up and begged for food because people feed them. Don't feed the alligators. Some were around 10 feet long, and a little too fearless. All in all a great stay, would definitely return!

First off, the rate is so low because when I checked in they gave me a 50% discount for being 62! Who said getting old doesn't have its advantages! lol
Regardless of the price, the value at regular rates would also be great! The attendant's were friendly and cordial throughout the week, even accepting Amazon packages for us. That's RV'ing in 2022 I guess.
The park map was laid out very well and our site was easy to find, and easy to back into. The sites are well spaced apart and angled in such a way as to give amazing privacy. The wood deck had a few wonky boards that were right where you walk, but hey I only paid $14 bucks a day!
Not many hiking or biking trails, but there is a few miles of roads around the levy that make for interesting cycling.
Super quiet at night, quite a few stars so just about perfect if you like that sort of thing.
A little far from downtown New Orleans, but we did that last week at the French Quarter RV Resort.
The park was not very busy, the wave pool was closed but that wasn't a draw for us anyways. Can't comment on the public washrooms or other facilities as we don't generally use them.
Not much for grocery shopping in the area, just a Piggly Wiggly which is not a favourite. We went for a drive to Rouses's in town, and WOW, it was definitely worth the drive!

Your stay here will all depend on your expectations. I brought a small Class B to the campground twice and couldn't be more pleased. There was a very diverse group of campers in the area, although, the majority of the sites contained high end coaches. I'm not sure why everyone comments about the water around the area as though they are surprised. The name of the place is "Bayou"... and nearly everyone who stays at this park would have driven past many dikes, and driven over many miles of elevated roads to get through the swamps and marsh lands. Not to mention that the entire city is barely above sea level. In fact, we waded through ankle deep water on Magazine Street while we were there - and that was the 'high ground' on the sidewalk. I thought that wading through the water was an amazing New Orleans experience!
Overall, you couldn't pick a more convenient, safe, and enjoyable area. It far exceeded my expectations. Is it a luxury place? No. Is it better than 80% of the roadside 'parks' - absolutely!
